Wonderful Story Told OF Wftsslint
Hens Performance.
W. w. Selby, justice OF the peace at
New Martinsvil1e, W. Va. and a deaeon
Of the baptist church, has In his pos
session one of the mos. remarkable
freaks Of nature ever discovered III this
part of the world. The other day JUS
tice se1hy bought from Marion Nolan a
fine fat hen, the intention being TO-
slaughter the chicken for dinner. When
the bird was cut open, Sc seral eggs were
found in mere orless advanced stages OF
development. One Of them was almost
ready to be laid, and the woman laid ID
aside tenderly, intending to make
tlumplings for the soup, and to use the
egg. AS she washed 1T she was SUR
prised to- see d broken and uneven line
of black clrcling the egg, around the
.hickest part, what appeared to be fine
print.
Squire selhy went tosa jewelry stores
where he knew there was g strong glass,
end OF the way met Rev. DIR. a. NJ,
l.auck, of the Methodist church, and
Editor =. Fl: Moore, Of the Republican,
who Joined him. Under the glass the i'm
scription was very plain, being quite
black, and about the size Of agate type.
It runs around the be]Iy of the egg, and
reads very plainly:
'Mtdway-Eew York - Before - Week
Intelligence CO. - american. Several
others have seen the inscription. and every
effort will be made to preserve the egg.

Tho first European vessel to enter
this port {san Franciscn) OF which
there is aisy record, Wits the Eagle, in
1916, commanded by Cape. William III.
Davis. She sailed from Boston via the
Sandwich islands AID Alaska. She
brought an akssor tn,ent of goods, which
was revelation to the natives, and
their garments OF skin and hides were
substituted by the clothing OF civiliza-
ton. Payments were made in hides.
taI!ow, soap and fish. The Eagle then
became engaged in the sea otter trade.
and was very successful, AZ offers were
plentiful in this bay and all along the
coast. She made, three trips, netting
about $4,000 on each trip. This stirp
,,}ated others, and this discovery, 10
doubt, gave an impetus to commerce,
which made this port known to the
world.
Commerce in these days OF mama
was carried ON in, what might be
termed "free-and easy" manner. On
many articles the duty was 100 per
cent, which practically amounted to
oonAscation, or made smuggling neces-
sary I'M self-dcfense. The Mexican Of
hcials generally opened the door. FREE
quently vessels were permitted to pass
Monterey-.the port Of entry coming
10 Yerba T'.ena, aud, after selling as
much Of the cargo al possible, return
to Monterey for entry and dispose Of
The remainder. ,@
The shippers were not sworn as to
the value Of the cargo; they gave fc-
titious invoices, and by this means
would get of ON the payment OF S., 900
on q $40, 900 cargo.
It became 90 customary to swindle
the government as to scarcely excite
comment except in cases where goods
were concealed in false Innings Of the
vessel and the government officials
were outwitted. Overland Mon th1y.

A dry process for extracting gold has
been devised, the ore being subjected
to the action of q spray of mercury. A
wide iron pipe is bent into a spiral and
holds at the bottom of each bend q
quantity Of mercury, which does not
completely close the passage. The ore,
ground fine, enters this through a hop
per and is blown through by q current
Of air, which forces the mercury into
a spray, so that it comes into contact
with the particles of gold In the powder
ed ore which Is being blown through.
The gold amalgamates with the mer-
curry. The dust is carried ON to the next
bend, where it goes through the same
process, and this is repeated as often
as is necessary. In the trials with coarse
gold dust most Of the gold was recov-
cred at the first bend.

W. ). Bryan, the Democratic presiden.
TIA candidate, was the recipient of many
demonstrations while en- route from his
nome IN Lincoln, Neb., to New York city
to receive the official notification Of his
nomination. The trip was i%nauguratad
under favorable conditions. 1t was a day
OK torrid temperature, but long before
the time for the departure Of the Bryan
party the Rock Island depot platform in
Lincoln was crowded, and when the car
riage containing Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
drove up a round Of cheers went up from
over 1000 Threats. From that time On
until the train pulled out people jostled
each other as they pressed around their
Fellow citizen and grasped his hand and
wished him God speed. AS the train drew
away from the station a thousand ~lutter-
ing handkerchiefs waved a parting adieu.
On the second day of the trip the party
left Des Moines at $50 a. NJ. Colfax was
reached a few minutes before 8 o'clock
and nearly 1000 people were wedged
into the narrow space between the tracks.
Many Of them were miners with their
lamps in caps. At Newton at S:15 there
We're 1000 to 100 enthusiasts on the
platform. They were so bent on cheer
ing that it was with difficulty that Gen.
Weaver succeeded in finally restoring or
der while Mr.. Bryan made a brief speech.
At Iowa City a ten minutes stop was
made and 1000 people voiced their enthu-
siasm through the medium of a brass
band. The crowd at Davenport followed
to the hotel and stood in the parching sun
until Mr.. Bryan had finished his dinner,
when he addressed them from the hotel
porch.
When Chicago was reached at 7:2O
o'clock Saturday night, there were nearly
10000 people massed about the Rock
Island station. anxious to catch a glimpse
OF the presidential candidate. Almost
LOCO OF these were members Of the va
rious silver organizations which went to
make up the procession that escorted Mr..
Bryan to his hotel. The streets were
filed with people anxious to see the nomi-
nee for President. Mr.. Bryan bowed to
the right and left continuously all the
way to the hotel. When the Clifton
House finally was reached Mr.. Bryan
Went Immediately to the balcony, where
the formal exercises were held. William
J. Strong, the Republican chairman OF
the reception committee, delivered the ad-
dress Of welcome. and Bryan spoke to as
many people as could crowd in front OF
the hotel balcony. The party left Chicago
Sunday night, continuing the trip east.

CAUGHT BY A CABLE

The Strange Accident that Befell a
Whale In the Oceans Dcpths.
Submarine cables are usually imbed.
ded in the Shiny bottom Of the ocean,
but at certain points they hang like
wire bridges owe deep submarine val
leys, so that whales and other large in
habdtants Of the deep may become dan
generous to the cable. Once in a while It
is the cable that becomes dangerous to
the whales, as recently shown in an &C
cident to the western Brazilian line.
There was some difficulty with the
wire, and after many futile efforts the
seat Of the trouble WA discovered 76
miles north Of Santa Catharina. The
cable ship viking was sent to repair the
damage, and began to take up the wire.
After the cable proper had been Crap
pied and was wound to the surface on
the large drums provided for the pur-
pose, it was found that 1t floated very
much easier and was more buoyant
than is usually the case
The reason was discovered when In
a loop Of the cable the carcass OF q
whale of more than sixty feet in length
came into view. It appears that the
whale had become caught under the
cable, and, not being able to lift it nor
to go forward nor back, 1t became sufo-
Gated. BY its last spasms or attempts
to free itself the whale had damaged
tie cable 80 that the insulation wa
rubbed OF and the wire became useless.

At st. Louis, for a fortnight each day
has broken it's record. Saturday the Off
cial thermometer recorded a continuous
temperature Of 90 degrees during nearly
five hours. On Friday the record was
nearly as high. Sunday the thermometer
reached 80 degrees at 10 O'Clock and at
tanned it's maximum Of 90 degrees soon
after 3 o'clock, remaining practically sta
~tionary until after 5 O'Clock. At o'clock
in the evening the mercury had fallen to
93 degrees. There were forty-eight cases
of prostitution from heat Saturday. with
eight deaths. Sunday. when no labor or
manufacturing was in progress. there
were eighteen prostrations and two
deaths from the heat. The high tempera-
ture is leaving it's mark upon the city's
mortality record. The normal rate Is
about 200 deaths q week. Last week 273
burial certificates were signed.
Had Sunday been a day Of labor in
Boston there would have been a long list
OF fatalities to record. It was, with one
exception, the hottest day Of the summer
% Tar, and the heat was made o In
tensely uncomfortable by the fact that
