Science has evolved a new method of preserving eggs to a ripe and respected old age. The eggs are first sterilized in compress ed carbon dioxide and then dropped carefully into a mixture of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen at a freezing temperature. As a result of this heroic treatment eggs can be kept ten months at a cost of thirty eight cents per thousand and still be fresh enough to fool a discrimi nating boarding-house proprietor. If the method suggested Is still further improved, the time may come when a chemistry laboratory will be a necessary adjunct to every chicken-coop, and when hens will not work for their contemporaries, but for posterity. AMAZEMENT IN ENGLAND. Fact That Peary Found No Traces of Cook Excites Comment. London, Sept. ".It needed but the amazing announcement of Peary's suc cess in reaching tho north pole, so hot upon Cook's arrival In Europe with the same news, to complete the astonish ment of geographurs nnd tho public generally. No longer could the slightest doubt he entertained that to America unre servedly belonged tho proud honor of planting the tlag for the llrst time nt the north polo. Since It could not be given to an Englishman to win this honor, the British people extend their hearti est conuTutuhUions to tho American people. Their wish now Is that Shac kleton may succeed in plnnting the British Hag at the other pole. Wonder Is excited' that Peary Is not yet aware that he has been forestalled. Ills statement that he did not come across any traces of Cook's expedition also causes surprise. Sir George Nares, who commanded an arctic expedition in IS7.r, comments on the fact that Peary's Eskimos at Etnh apparently did not know that Cook crossed Smith's sound and Etnh last winter and says: "Isn't this a pe culiar fact? Wouldn't it be Just possi ble that Dr. Cook hnd learned of Pea ry's success and was making an effort to reach civilization llrst with the pri ority claim of having discovered the pole?" Captain R. F. Scott said: "Peary's message raises a very Interesting situ ation and means a battle as to who was tho llrst to reach tho pole. It will have to he fought out In Anierlen." The Loudon newspapers comment enthusiastically on Peary's success and ctve trim full credit. Beats the 700 Yard Record. Long Island City, N. Y., Sept. 7.

PENNSYLVANIA TRAIN ROBBER STILL AT LARGE NO CLUE. Pennsylvania's Jesso James, who held up Pittsburg and Northern Express on the Middle division of the Pennsylvania railroad In the Lowlstown .Narrows' last Tuesday morning is still at large. No less than fifty detectives are now on the case Including tho pick of the Pln kertons of New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, St. Louis, the Pennsylva nia railroad police department and a corps of Government slueths. In nddltion several private agen cies of world-wide reputation have Bent men who have taken up the clues and are working night and day. The officials of both the Pennsyl vania railroad and Adams Express companies have announced that there shall be no let up until the robber is run down or proofs fur nished showing It is impossible to do so. Most of the excitement which re sulted from the many stories about the robbery has subsided and the detectives have been able to get down to real facts. It was stated recently that the robber did not get on the engine at all but met en gineer Donnelly when he stepped off to see what the trouble was, and later met Fireman Willis com ing around the engine after having examined his side. Then the two were forced to the express car where expressman Harper was look ing out to see the cause of tho ex plosion and he was forced to go to the car In which expressman Davis was, and It was from tills car the money was stolen and thrown out. Engineer Donnelly was scut back to tho engine and the men ordered to carry the money up the hill; con ductor Poffenbergor having in tho meantime made his appearance and been driven back. The detectives also learned to day that a stranger answering tho description of tho robber had been for several days in the vicinity. He was camping at a spot known as the Spring, and made frequent visits to tho railroad, inquired about the trains, their make-up, etc., and said he was taking a frcsh-alr outing for a rest. He was apparently betweon 25 and 30 years old. Ho has not been seen since the robbery and .1 is believed that he had a hand In the hold-up. At least two hours elapsed before tho detectives reached the scene after the robbery, and every pre cauton possible was taken to pre vent the destruction of footmarks, evidence of an automobile having been present. The detectives are of an almost universal opinion that while but one man did the Job, someone help ed him to get away with the bootyt. That there was no collusion of any kind between the robber and any one on the train is shown by ' the fact that none of the passengers were awake until after the train had started from the scene of the hold-up. The bandit also missed a chance for a much larger haul, as train No. 19, which passed a few minutes ahead of No. 39, had In the express cars more than a half mil lion dollars in bank notes.

HAS HAD A SERIOUS RELAPSE Three Doctors and Four Nurses Hur riedly Called to Attend the Fi nancier at Hfs Country Home at Arden, N. Y. Arden, N. Y Sept. 7. Edward n. Hnrrlman. America's foromost rnilroad magnate, has sustained a serious re lapse and Is In a critical condition. Specialists, surgeons, nurses nnd a quantity of drugs and surgical appara tus wero rushed to his estato at Tower Hill, and nn operation will bo per formed today, It Is said. Dr. W. G. Lylo, Mr. Hnrrlinan's per sonal physician, gave out tho following bulletin: "Mr. Harrlman ban suffered a re lapse. Ho had a sharp attack of Indi gestion on Sunday, but rested comfort ably today. We hope for tho best." When questioned as to his patient Dr. Lylo said: "Mr. Harrlman suffered n sharp attack of Indigestion, but I do not think his condition Is such as to cause any linmedlnte alarm. I tele phoned to New York for trained nurses because well, because Mr. Har rlinan Is a sick man, and It Is only nat ural that a sick man should require the service of nurses." Dr. Lylo would not explnln why the man who had been sick since he ar rived here two weeks ago had not re quired the service of trained nurses earlier. Besides Dr. Lylo there hro at tho mnguate's country homo Dr. O. E. Brewer, visiting surgeon to Roosevelt hospital; Dr. Crlle. the stomach spe cialist, and Dr. Walter B. James. They and four trained nurses camu to Tower Hill on hurry calls. Tho character of the dlsenee for which any operations would bo neces sary Is still a matter of guesswork, but the fact became known that last week, presumably after tho Issuance of Mr. llarrlnmn's statement admit ting that Drs. Brewer, Janes and Crllo had examined him, he had submitted to a searching examination by Drs. Wyeth and Hancock, uoted In New York aa specialists on cancer.

SACK MYSTERY PUZZLING. No Clew to Identity of Headless Wo man Slain In Detroit. Detroit. Mich., Sept. ".All day long Sheriff Gaston nnd his deputies have dragged Ecorse creek and questioned residents in the down river district in hopes of finding some clew as to the Identity of the decapitated, nrmloss and legless body of the young woman found in the stream there, but their efforts have as yet been in vain. The authorities ore endeavoring to tlnd some trace of Mrs. Jessie Weber, who was reported missing from her home Aug. 3. Mrs. Weber came here during the summer from Minneapolis, and her husband has since been in the city searching for her. The county physicians feel certain tliat the body had only been In the water a few days, nnd tho nge of the victim is estimated to be between twenty and twenty-two years. When shown the trunk the medical men were visibly surprised at the skill with which tho limbs, arms and bend were cut off. Tlie ilesh is little mangled, ami the cutting shows the work of nn expert. After examining the body both physicians gave It as their opin ion that the torso Is that of a married woman whose height was about five feet six Inches. There was not a scrap of the victim's clothliii.' in the coffee sack. PEARY'S CAPTAIN REPORTS. Bartlett Says Explorer Found No Traces of Dr. Cook. St. John's. X. 1, Sept. 7. Captain Samuel Bartlett of Peary's ship, Roosevelt, telegraphed hero thnt Pea ry found nothing to Indicate that Dr. Cook had re.iched the pole. While Peary does not expressly repudiate Dr. Cook's contention In so many words, his statement will have an Im portant hearing upon determining tho extent of Dr. Cook's explorations. The Roosevelt was In good condi tion nnd the crew all right, Captain Bartlett wired, and ho reported that the schooner Jennie, carrying supplies for the expedition, met them off the coast of tlreenland, Coming south the Roosevelt passed Stab and Upernnvlk, Greenland, where, Dr. Cook says, he preceded Peary.

Great Results Claimed for a Trinidad Invention. Coneul-General Rlchnrd Uuenther, of Frankfort, furnishes the following In formation, published In n German Journal, concerning the -Invention of a Trinidad planter for the manufacture of paper from sugar-cane bagasse: For a long time the bagasse hod boen experimented with In order to make cellulose out of It for paper manufacturing, but without success. It Is now reported that a Trinidad sugar planter has, after several yoars of experiments, arrived at the con clusion that a superior article of paper can bo rand a from tho bagasse of sugar-c&no, as also of the bagasse of other plants of that district It la stated thut ho hns erected paper works In connection with his sugar factory at an expense of $85,000. The bagasse, after having been three times ground and pressed In sugar presses, Is carried, automatical ly, to the paper mill and Is there txoated by u process of the Inventor. It Is then boiled for several hours, passed through rotating millstones, put Into tho usual machines for manu facturing paper pulp, and afterwards cut up under hydraulic pressure. Coronation Lunches.
