Great veins of ore, containing from 50 to 69 per cent of iron, have been discovered in the neighbourhood of Vadso,, Norway. Egg shells may be used to advantage in starting delicate plants for transplanting. The half shells are filled with earth and set in a box also containing dampened earth. A hole is made in the point of the shell to allow drainage. A single seed is then planted in each shell, which is easily broken when transplanting is done, without the slightest disturbance of roots. This use of egg shells is the discovery of a French gardener, who claims that they aire vastly superior to the little pots generally used, for the purpose by florists.
