BABYLONIAN EGGS.
COOKING BY WHIRLING. LONDON, March 9. "Wanted, strong men to cook eggs," is an advertisement suggested by the re-discovery by Mr Harris, a Cambridge research student, of tho Babylonian method of cooking by rapidly whirling them in slings. Mr Harris confesses that he has not tried tho experiment, but says he found that white of egg subjected to vigorous shaking coagulated.. He pointed out that protracted sling-whirling demanded some physical endurance, and that slings of Babylonian pattern were not found in every household. The uso of silk stockings as a substitute does not commend itself to the thrifty housewife, particularly in view of what would be likely to happen to the egg before the cooking was finished.
