try line at the Center market The IN
spector had never heard of such a thing
before and SO he went to make an investi-
cation, and was soon satisfied that the
eggs were as good as any in the market
for table purposes. II was explained to
Kim by the dealer that the holes had been
drilled in the eggs with a fine needle, and
this was done in order to render them unit
for setting purposes. The dealer said he
sold eggs for setting purposes for a dollar
dozen, while the Others sell at regular
market prices. This explanation was per-
fectly satisfactory.

The year 1895 viii have inscribed upon

OF a companion to the star Procyon. 1t

movement makes 1t probable.
No attempt has been made TO determine
the character OF these companions.
Whether they are satellites like the plan
cts OF the sun or original stars drawn to
the superior by some intimate association,
IL only matter OF speculation.
The sun with all his attendants is sup
posed to be moving in the direction OF
Sirius, taking US ail with him. but If the

to be 400 times larger than our central
