J AUTOMOBILITIS
Eminent scientists who have made

t 11 bocome legless from hip to knee.
C ing to the rapid Jolting and
I Qnclng they undergo their stom
: bs will gradually extend downward
' til the only remaining portion of
' tlr lower limbs will be from the
se down.
When thoy attempt locomotion on
it their gait will resemble that of
Pekln duck crossing an unmown
n.
U Is also surmised that on account
swift contact with reverse air cur
I its their nose, ears and hair will
mtually entirely dlsaDDear an
)lr faces become dished like the
on In its last Quarter.
iVhen a young man of the future
lortakes to steal "Just one" from
l ;;. nest and only." he will be com
p-.Ied to twist his face sideways like
a oenorned steer swiping alfalfa
i Tougn a barb wire fence.
It Is thought, too. that frnm nK
1 blng the strong fuel fumes their
think tanks will bocomo saturated
llh gasoline, so their Intelligence
will be regulated by the rated horeo
power of the car they drive. Even nl
the present time, statistics bIiow thul

will usually attuck a street cur or a

driver of a medium cur selects a

which to vent his mirth. The small
drlvor, however, Is content with oc
casionally knocking down a woman
or telephono pole.
As the best means of Drevontlnc
those undesirable developments in the
human species scientists differ as
widely In their opinions as they do In

ONE EYED-RILEY.
CHINESE RAISE
MANY CHICKENS
How his rival In tho ogg business
gots tho hatching done may be of in
terest to the egg producer of Oregon.
For the orthodox two ways In Ore
gon those of sotting n hen or buy
ing an Incubator ore often too ex
pensive for the Oregonlun's rival, who
thereupon has recourse to one of sev
eral methods.
Tho rival Is the Chlnamun, who In
1914 exported 32,874,127 dozens of
fresh and preserved eggs and 16,
693,600 pounds of albumen and yolk,
to all countries. There wore received
In Portlund, for example, between
October 3, 1913. nnd August 31,
1914, 30G.420 dozons of Chinese eggs.
Thore are fow chicken farms In
China, but nearly every Chinese fam
ily keeps hens. The millions of eggs
producod daily are collections of a
dozon or lose from each of a myriad
of households. No special attention
Is glvon to breeding. Fowls are usu
ally small and produco amnll eggs,
and the following are some of the
ways the eggs are hatched, as report
ed by consular agonts at request of
tho University of Oregon school of
commerce.
Old women somotlmcs do tho
hatching in ono poverty-Btrlcken dis
trict near Cbofoo. Thoy Btrap eggs
about their waists under their outer
garments and carry them till tho
chickens como. This method Is to
save fuel.
In Interior districts near Amoy,
unhusked rice is roasted and a three
Inch layer is spread whllo lukewarm
In the bottom of a tub. One hun
dred eggs are laid In the rlco. Alter
nate layers of two Inches of rice and
of 100 eggs are then spread until
there are BOO eggs in the tub. After
24 hours the eggs are taken out and
the rice reheated. When put buck
center eggs go to tho outside nnd
layers are shifted. This great labor
comes to a climax when tho China
man Is endeavoring to keep the
hatching brood from smothering un
der the rice.
In the province of Shangtung, eggs
aro put In earthenware Jars, which
are sot upm beds of brick and clay
in which slow MreB burn. The eggs
aro frequently turned.
The consul at Hankow reports a
method he says Is thousands of years
old. In buildings 60 feet long and
16 foet wide kongs are placed along
tho sides, each holding about 100
dozens of eggs. Straw Is burned.
Heat In tho eggs Is kopt uniform by
removal from one basket to another,
those on top of one basket being
placed In tho bottom of tho adjoining
one.
Methods of collecting eggs, oxport
methods, laws govorning Importation
into Pacific Coast atatos, and much
other Information of lntorest to Ore
gon poultrymen Is contained In a
bulletin on "Chinese Eggs," which
may be had free by addressing the
school of commerce of the State Unl
verslty. The bulletin shows, for
example, the following comparison of
transportation rates on Chinese eggs
from Shanghai by water and on Ore
gon eggs from four representative
points In Oregon by express:
Itates per 100 pounds. Freight
rate from Shanghai to Pacific Coast
ports, SO. 755. Express rate from La
Qrande to Portland, $1.20. Express
rate from Pendleton to Portlund
$1.20. Express rate from Roseburg
to Portland, $1.00. Express rate
from Eugene to Portland, $0.65.
