Eggs by the Acre

From the Santa Barbara tCal.) Press.l
Last Tuesday afternoon Captain A.
LARGO, the well known fisherman, re-
turned To port after a fine days cruise
among the islands OF the coast.
His voyage was something out of the
ordinary way, and in fact, by any other
coaster. Themost interesting portion
of Captain Larco's story was his des-
cription of an island covered with eggs.
He says that n short distance from San
Miguel Island, standing out lone and
solitary in the Pacific Ocean, there is
a rock with surface of about three
acres. The sides are precipitous and
almost inaccessible, except during
calm weather. While becalmed near
the rock he visited it and was amazed
at the scene presented to his vision.
The island is covered with layer OF
guano, in which sea fowls of all des-
cription were found laying or incubat-
ing their eggs. The surface appeared
TO be almost entirely covered with
eggs, principally those of the sea gulls,
shaggs, and small bird known as the
salt water duck. He says it was diff
cult to walk without treading upon
eggs. He brought away several bush
els of the eggs. The shagg's eggs are
of a light blue color and some what
smaller than the domestic hens eggs.
The CULTS eggs are somewhat larger
in size, light brown spotted with black
dots. LARGO says he could easily load
a ship with eggs from this island. but
Us there IL no market for them here
they are not worth gathering.

Why, have seen her bound into the

frolicsome disposition jump on mans

bergs don't do that. She is Just the
sweetest, incest and best girl you ever
met, and not Il bit stuck up when you
come to know her. When Louis
james was playing Romeo to her
Juliet, in his theatre two or three
years ago, he took her nose between
his teeth when he stopped over to take
the poison off her lips, and held her
an unconscionable time. Mamma
Griffin saw what he was doing, aud
she was in agony of fear lest the au-
dience should see 1t, too. Just look
at the devil!'l she cried, coming. over
to where j was standing, he Is biting
Mary's nose right there on the stage.

over the stage with q piece of board
and the company looked On and split
theiI sides laughing at the sight.

A Modern Samson.

Prof. II. A. Proctor has discovered
in Nevada being who claims to be
the strongest man ia the world. His
name is Angela Cardelia. He is an
Italian, aged 3S, and stands five feet
ten inches in hight, weighing 13S
pounds. His strength was born with
him, for he had no athletic training.
He differs from other men chiefly is his
osseous structure. Although not ofun-
usual size, his spinal column Is double
the ordinary width and his bones
and Joints are made on similarly
large and generous scale. He can lift
n man of 200 pounds with the middle
finger of his right hand. The man
stood with one foot OH the floor, his
arm outstretched and his hands
grasped by two persons to balance his
body. Cardeia then stopped down
and placed the third finger of his
right hand under the mans feet and,
with scarcely any perceptible effort.
raised to the hight of four feet and de-
posted him on table near at hand.
Once two powerful men waylaid Car
della with intent to thrash him, but
he seized one in each hand and ham
mered them together till the life was
nearly hammered out OF them. He ia
of aquiet and peaceable disposition,
and his strength is inherited, for he
states his father was more powerful
than himself.
