ART OF COOKING EGGS.
A BABYLONIAN METHOD.
LONDON, March (V " Wanted, strong men to cook eggs," is an advertisement suggested by the re-discovery by Mr. Harris, a Cambridge research student, of the Babylonian method of cooking eggs by rapidly whirling them in slings. Mr. Harris confesses that he has not tried the experiment, but says he found that white of egg subjected to vigorous shaking coagulated. He pointed out that protracted slingwhirling demanded some physical endurance, and that slings of Babylonian pettern were not found in every household. The use of silk stockings as a sub stitute 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.
