The loon or great northern diver al
ways deposits two eggs. They are al
most perfectly elliptical in shape and lie
side by side. The eggs are invariably
found at over three-fifths of the distance
from the front edge of the nest depres-
sion-that is, at about two-fifths of the
long diameter from the rear end of the
elongated hollow or nest proper. From
the position of the eggs n can tell how
the bird sits on the nest, as we may rea-
son that with these long bodied birds
the abdomen, which supplies the direct
heat, is well back from the front Of the
hollow. This theory is verified by watch
ing the incubating bird.
The turtle dove, night hawk, whippoor-
will and common domestic pigeon, each
of which lays two eggs at each setting.
deposit the eggs side by side. although
this arrangement is frequently interfered
with III the case of the tame bird, not
rarely with the result that one Of tbs
eggs does not hatch.-Dr. Morris Glib:

hurry to catch "a train as he was about
starting on al extended journey. and
without topping to carefully count the
bills which were showed through the pay
ing ~tellcr's window he put them Ill his
pocket and hurried away.
Subsequently lie discovered that by
| one of those mistakes sometimes made
in ataaalIuin banking, but since pro-
hi ..ed by lie code ,see banking rules,
the teller la! given him s. too much.
Ii was toe late e. return and rectify the
| mistake. L. h ,.,miseG himself to re-
| turn the money the first time he was in
Philadelphia.
For t~hirty-seven long years the
stranger wandered over the face of the

great war. participated i'll several Indian
urrisings IN the far west. until this week

made. lie again found himself in Phila
