the war ended some of the best military

An Egg With Windows.

A French scientist who removed the she'll
on either side of an egg without injuring
the membrane in patches about the size
of the diameter of pea, and Snugly fitted
the openings with bits OF glass, gives the
following report of the wonderful expert
ment | placed the egg with the glass
bulls eyes in an incubator, run by clock
work and revolving once each hour, so that
had the pleasure of looking through and
watching the change upon the inside at the
end of each sixty minutes. No changes
were noticeable until after the end of the
twelfth hour, when some of the lineamentS
Of the head and body of the chick made
beat at the end of the twenty-fourth hour,
and, in forty-eight hours, two vessels of
blood were distinguished, the pulsations
being quite visible. At the fiftieth hour an
auricle of the heart appeared, much resen-
bling a lace OF moose folded down upon
itself. At the end Of seventy hours we dis
tinguiShed wings and two bubbles for the
brain, one for bill and two others for the
forepart and hindpart of the head. The
liver appeared at the end of the fifth day
At the end of 131 hours the first voluntary
motion was observed. At the end of 1873
hours the lungs and stomach had become
visible, and four hours later the inteStines,
the !oins and the upper mandlble could be
distinguished. The Shiny matter of the
brain began to take form and become more
compact at the beginning Of the seventh
day. At the 190th hour the bill first open
ed and flesh began to appear on the breast.
At the 194th the Sternum appeared. At the
cloth hour the ribs had begun to put out
from the back; the bill was quite visible,
as was also the gall bladder. At the begin
ming OF the 236th hour the bill had become
green, and it is evident that the chick could
have moved had it been taken from the
shell. -Four hours more and feathers had
commenced to shoot out, aud the skull to
become gristly. At the 264th hour the eyes
appeared and two hours later the ribs
were perfect. At the 331st hour the spleen
drew up to the stomach and the lungs to the
chest. When the incubator had turned the
egg $50 times the bill was frequently open
ing and closing, as if the chick were gasp
ing for breath. When 4j2 hours had elapsed
we heard the first cry of the little inpri-
soned biped. From that time forward he
grew rapidly, and came out full-fedged
chick at the proper time.

EiGel Tower Resistance.

From calculations made concerning the re-
sistance which the Eifel tower can offer, it is
ascertained that it is able to sustain normal
wind pressure of SS1 pounds to the square
yard, or a total pressure of more than 6,O00,-
600 pounds. So that, if at any time hurri-
cane of such unheard of force should come to
exert its force against it, the tower would
bravely stand its ground, while in all proba-
bility most of the surrounding monuments in
Paris would be demolished.-New York Tele-

REPORT FROM HAYTI.
The American Minister Asked to
Mediate.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Navy De.
partment today received report from
Admiral Gherardi, stationed at Port au-
Prince, dated July 10th. There was no
mention of any fighting. The Admiral
states that Hippolyte was reported to be
advancing upon Port-au-Prince, and that
upon the beginning of the attack force
of marines would be landed from the
United States ships in the harbor to pro-
tect the American representatives and
the interests of the American residents.
The Admiral also reported that Legi-
time had appealed to the American
Minister, Thompson, to meet Hippo.

basis upon which the conflict between
their forces might be stopped, but
whether or not Thompson had taken
any steps to carry out Legitime's wishes
was not stated.
The Acting Secretary of State said if
Thompson did any act in the capacity of
peacemaker it would be as an individual
entirely, and not as a representative of
the United States, nor acting under
any authority of this Government, which
has all along declined to recognize either
of the factions in Hayti.

THE NEW STATES.
Yesterdays work ON the COnstt-
tutiOns.

OLYMPIA, July 23.-Tne convention to.
day probably decided one of the most
important judicial questions, which was
that of Governor Ferry, eho has been
mentioned as possible candidate for
the United States Senate. Ferry wants
to be the first Governor, and
undoubtedly will be, as he has no rival
for the Republican nomination; but it
was thought when the Legislature me
he might be elected to the Senate
The Committee on Executive and
Pardoning Power reported this
morning, however, among other
things, proviso that the Governor
shall be ineligible for the office of Sena-
tor. This, if it passes, greatly strength
ems the chances of Ex-Governor Watson
of success, and his election to the Senate
s now almost certain from Western
Washington.
BISMARCK, Dak., July 23.-Prohibition
petitions are beginning to pour in, and it
is evident that they have not given up
the hope of having Prohibition clause
embodied in the constitution. President
Fancher, of the convention, today re-
ceived telegram from Elliott
f. Shepard, President of the
American Sabbath Union, urging pro-
vision in the constitution, protecting and
encouraging Sabbath observance. The
complete constitution introduced by Will
liams came up for reference today, but
was postponed until tomorrow.
Sioux FALLS, OAK, July 23.-The not
able feature of today's proceedings was
the presentation of communication
from the American Sabbath Union signed
| by Elliott f. Shepard Major General How
ard, j. II. Knowles and WILDER L. Crafts,
asking the convention to insert in the
Constitution provision protecting and
encouraging Sabbath observance. The
communication was referred to a special
committee of five, including three cleri-
cal delegates.
HELENA, Mont, July 23-In the con-.
vention today. the Chairman of the
Committee on Miscellaneous Subjects re-
ported back the proposition relating to
gambling, stating it was for the
Legislative power to act in
the matter. The resolution relating
to free passes was also reported back,
and substitute will be introduced later.
The labor question came up again, and Il g
section relating to convict labor was dis
cussed at length and finally rejected. The
afternoon session was devoted to further
discussion of the preamble. Several
members opposed the bringing Of God or
religion into the constitution, and the
preamble was finally adopted as pre-
viously reported.
BOISE Cry, Idaho, July 23.-Citizens
OF Washington county presented petit
ton to the Constitutional Convention to-
day against the monopoly of irrigation
canals. A proposition to admit the Bible
in public schools provoked hot discus
sion, but was disposed of by an amend
ment forbidding any religious or sectarian
books or papers in schools. School lands
are to be sold at auction for not less than
ten dollars per acre.

THERE are quite number of features
concerning proposed route for an out
fall sewer to the sea which ought to be
considered. AS We stated in yesterdays g
HERALD, the Southside Irrigation Com

Angelef1o day before yesterday had a
talk with Mr.. Tweedy. He asked him
how much the city would hay to pay for

Tweedy ranch. That honest Granger
Immediately answered $75 an acre. or
SIS, 900 for the farm. If the city were to
buy this thousand acres its salable value
would arise Immediately to $500 900 by
the enhancement which would result to
the property by this fertilizing adjunct.
The arguments as to route are by no
means confined to the southern
locality even on the ground of util-
ity. If the city of Los Angeles
could convert SIS 900 into $500 600, and
still maintain its sewage in merchant
able shape, and keep the eff1uvium aris.
ing from it out of our prevailing winds,
which flow eastward from the ocean, it
would be wise, expedient and profitable.
In addition, it might be worth while to
pay some attention to the proposition
made by the then City Attornev DAILY,
who now stands by the same offer, and
who is backed by the same capitalists
who backed him then.
