cows FROM HENS EGGS.
Vow This Remarkable Feat In Hstching
May Be Accomplished.


David Starr Jordan, president of
the Leland Stanford, Jr., university,
addressed the dairy convention held
In San Francisco upon "Heredity In
Domestic Animals. He illustrated
bis points with chart diagrams.
Speaking of tuberculosis in cattle, he
said the only way to prevent the
spread of that disease is TO kill the
Infected cattle at once. Then no
spoke Of eggs. The egg of a COW, he
said, Is essentially like the egg Of
hen, as all eggs are merely cells.
The nucleus of the cell contains the
architects plan for the whole ami
NAL. Now, If the nucleus of cows
egg, said the learned gentleman,
could be taken out and substituted
for the nucleus of a hep's egg with
In the latter egg there would be no
iifficulty, with proper means of de-
velopment, in Matching cows from
hens eggs.
This sublime proposition called
forth applause. Visions of untold
wealth at once arose before the eyes
of the astonished dealers in milk
and cream, and several Immediately
began figuring out what increase
they might expect in their herds
from their present stock of chick
ems. An ordinary farm may have
about 200 chickens. Now, if these
chickens average one egg day and
a collection of five days is made, that
would give 1000 hens eggs.
The rancher would then merely
have to transfer the cows eggs to
the hens eggs, select sufficient hens
to cover these eggs, and at the end
of three weeks those faithful hens
would have hatched out 1, 600 calves,
which, at 50 each, would represent
profit of So, 600. The dairymen were
dazed at the greatness of the scheme,
but were called down from their
high flight by President Jordan s
subsequent remarks.
Il do not think that this will lead
at once 10 a revolution of the indus
try" said Mr.. jordan, "but there
Is no theoretical difficulty in tho
way, and fully as wonderful things
have been done"
President Jordan continued to de-
scribe the formation of the eggs of
various sorts. The egg of fish can
be separated and produce two fishes
which will live. But much greater
subdivision has not proved practica-
bic. Other phases of ovarian exist
ence were discussed, and a large
number of charts were employed.
As illustrating the great force of
heredity, he said that he had recent
ly seen horse that had three hoofs,
thus going back to resume the char
acteristics of horses of a period not
nearer than 100, 900 years. The side
bones were fully developed and the
main hoof was crowded almost out.

The swordf,sh Leaves Death and Dcvasts-
tion In HIS Wake.


The swordfsA Leaves Death and Devasts-
tion In His Wake.
The sworcflsh Is the pugilist OF
the sea. a pugiiist who wastes no
time in talking and misses no oppor-
tunity to fight Unlike the shark,
the swordlish would rather fight
than eat. The shark Is ferocious,
favonous and glutton, but the
swordfish fights for the sake of fight
Ing without troubling whether the
object OF bis attack Is worth eating
Cr not. Anything Is game for him
from q mackerel to man-of-war.
Ono of the things In the ascending
scale between these two Is a whale.
Tho passengers on an Atlantic liner
had the good fortune some time ago
10 witness an encounter between
several swordfish and whale. The
huge body of the cetacean was seen
TO rise repeatedly above the water,
Quiveriny with pain and lashing his
tail with fury. His antagonists could
not at first be seen.
When q view of them was obtained,
it was evident that they were enjoy
ing themselves. They prodded the
unhappy whale with wonderful vigor
and rapidity. 1t was hard work kill
ing SO large an animal and one SO
well protected by blubber, but the
swordfish persevered and finally did
tho whale TO death.
1t is asserted that the force with
which "A large swordfish strikes is
equal to that which drives "a pound
shell from q howitzer.
The common swordfish found in
the Atlantic is Xiphias gladius. The
sword is Il sharp, bony continuation
of the upper jaw. 1t attains a length
OF to 10 feet, and when full grown
can pierce the copper sheathed wood
en- hull of ship. There are various
authenticated cases in which this has
happened. One ship sprang a leak
from no apparent cause. When she
arrived in port, it was found that the
sword of one OF these fish had pierced
the copper, thick oak hull and pine
shenthing ana then entered a barrel.
Tho sword had broken off.
There are q few animals which at
tack man and other animals without
provocation The swordfish is among
them.
The fights between swordfish are
the most interesting TO witness, as
IN other cases tho chances ai apt TO
be unequal. Two swordfish fight
like determined and expert fencers.
One of these combats is described by
IN eyewitness. The two fish first
rushed straight at one another,
sword point TO sword point. One
missed, and the others weapon en-
tered his head just below the eye.
Tho wounded fish, however, turned
IA his enemy rushed past and drove
lis sword clear through the others
body.
Tho sinking of the sloop Redhot,
In the service Of the United States
fish commission, off New Bedford,
was caused by swordG5h.
When II swordfish gets into
school of fish, he does not merely kill
what he wants 10 eat. He dashes in
among them, dealing death right and
left. His wake is strewn with dead
and mutilated fish. A large, fat.

DIFFICULTIES OF ENGLISH IOIoM
Some Amusing Linguistic Experiences "f
a French Visitor.

some Amusing Linguistic Experiences Of
n French visitor.
A recent French visitor in this
country was M. X, man too tai
cnted and too we'll known to permit
of the use of his name in this con-
nection, for this is TO set forth some
of the difficulties he experienced in
Che pursuit of the English idiom.
Indefatigable in zeal, when literal
translation failed him he resorted
to logic, and when this led him into
error, as il inevitably did, he de-
pended solely upon his memory and
would often pause to search for a lit
ting phrase.
He witnessed a play that was a
success, and the players were called
before the curtain for applause. One
actress in particular was applauded. "
"She comes in for the lion $ share, |"
said friend to M. X.
M. x. understood, and later at
tempted to use the same descrip-
tiop, but, his memory falling, resort
ed to translation. "And zis actresse
--she come on for re part of ze lion. "
"Was it a trained animal show?"
asked tho listener.
On another occasion he was speak
ing of call he had made on friend
who, he said, lived in "flats
house"
"Flathouse, you mean," he was
corrected.
"Mais non," he persisted, having
thought tho matter out. "Flathouse
--zat ees flat on 20 top. But flats
house-zat has 20 flats cen Get. And
zat ees where he lives"
Politics interested him. "Zey tell
me-" he said, "zat to obtain an ap-
/ pointment in Zis cite one must hat
un drag. Non-zat ees not ze word
non drag-ah! / haf eet! Un pull
Eat ees necessaire.
1t was when he ventured into
American slang, however, that he
found himself at sea without oars,
sail or rudder. Some gamin had been
rude To him on the street, and in
describing the matter he said, "And
i gave heem a good cooking"
"What? a cooking?"
Il do not t'ink zat ees what gave
heem," he admitted, puzzled.
"a basting perhaps, was suggest
ed. "You thrashed him."
"Oh, non. / did not put hands on
heem."
Perhaps you scolded him-gavo
him a roasting?"
His face frightened. "Ah, zat ]
did, parliament. Igave heem good
r-r-roasting.
When he went back to France,
he was panied to leave his American
friends, who had become dear to
him. He declared that he would new
er miss an opportunity to see them.
"Eef ever may see you again,
will do SO, even eef Unjust come from
a very long deestance off. Or, as you
Americans say so char-r-r- -mingly,
even eef / must come from away
back. Eat shall be my pleasure-to

TO GIVE BEST SERVICE,
Professor Scott Explains Points Con
nected with His Paper.


Mr.. EDITOR: In the notice you
give my paper written for the Sociai
Science club, one might infer from
the heading, Government Manage
ment,n and your observations there
on, that / sought to enforce the doc
trine of direct Government operation
OF natural monopolies. Such was not
the exact aim OF that paper, whatever
it's language may be. The aim was To
establish the general principles OF
Government control, either direct or
delegated-was to give the people the
best possible service Mt the lowest pos
sible cost, and TO turn over the sur
pIus. IL any, to the common treasury;
not to make IL possible for the exploit
alton of the community by private
individuals. "Only when the people
are wise and intelligent enough to
control the Government il 1t saie 10
nut the operation of economic affairs
into its hands, This, your dictum,
Mr.. Editor, is queer logic-at least by
inference. The people are neither
wise nor honest; therefore tho GOV
ernment will be neither wise nor hon
est-ergo, let the exploiters skin the
innocent IL the people were all wise
and honest, then no kind OF control
would be necessary-the "Old saturn
ian Days" would have returned, q
yeritable Utopia upon earth. Int
very reason for Government controi u
| the unfortunate fact that some people
are wiser than honest. The morally
sickIy cry, Mr. Editor, that maJorit,
OF men are dishonest, is too con
| temptible for debate. II there b'
only a small minority Of honest men
let them commit hari-kiri, go tc
heaven and give the rascals full swipt
upon things mundane but II a. ma
| iority are honest, and this the write
fully believes, let them make the
Others commit hari-kari, send then

WANT NEW TRIAL.
Lawyer Kinney Argues For John Hapa
Before Supreme Court.

BEFORE NOa'h'
Attorney Kinney argued most siren
uously before the Supreme Court
yesterday for new trial for John
Hapa, who, it will be remembered,
was convicted on the charge OF high
way robbery and sentenced to six years
on the reef. Hapa got seveDty-five
cents from the man he held up.
Mr.. Kinney bases his plea for new
trial on the assertion that one OF the
Jurors that found Hapa guilty was
prejudiced against the prisoner.
There were three dissenting members
and the counsel holds that his client
would have been acquitted had 1t not
been for the biased opinion OF one oil
the remaining nine.
The arguments of this case occupied
nearly all yesterdays session. The
Government was represented by Dep
uty Attorney. General Robertson. Two
minor cases were argued and submitted
the latter part Of the afternoon.
