A very interesting experiment is being carried out at the Christchurch Corporation’s electrical show rooms (says Jhe ‘Sun’). £ixty hens’ eggs are being incubated by electricity. The heat is applied by a high-tension current, and the temperature is regulated by a thermostat, Which cuts off the current immediately the temperature rises above the propel" degree, and switches it on again when I lie temperature of the eggs drops again to the required degree. The chickens are .due to make their bow to the expectant o!ticers of the department next Monday. If the experiment is successful the chicks, it is believed, will be the first incubated by electricity in the llo'mrn >ji. They will be sold by auction at the show rooms, and the proceeds will be given to the Lady Liverpool fund.
