Why Birds Eggs Are Colored.

Ernest IngersolI in Harpers Magazine.
The why and wherefore of the colors of
birds eggs has been favorite theme for
speculation, from the quaint surmisings Of
Sir Thomas Browne to the solemn guess
work of Shufeldt, in his ten biological
laws explanatory of the variation in color
Of tho shells of the eggs in class Aves."
Hewitson piously concludes that the beauty
Of these elegant and often exquisitely at
tractive objects is intended for the delight
Of human eyes; hence, as he says, eggs
simply white are put out of sight in holes!
He also sees in the larger number of eggs
laid by game birds a provision by be-
nevolent Providence for the joy Of the
sportsman and the delectation of the epi-
cure. Next comes a man who assures us
that the colors of eggs are due to the influ-
ence of their respective surroundings on the
Imagination Of the hen birds-the old story
Of Jacobs little trick on Laban in the mat
ter Of young cattle. This school instances
as an example the red blotches prevalent
on the eggs Of falcons regarded by it as a
record of the bloody experiences of the par
ents; but 1t does not explain why the equal
ly rapacious owls produce pure white eggs,
or the bloodthirsty skuas and shrikes lay
greenish ones.

CoiOradO Farmers Lose Trade

DENVER, Col, December 3-The farm
ers OF Colorado are disappointed at the
failure of an attempt to corner the potato

The Roman barber besides cutting tho

In the nineteenth century, affected boards

as the badge of their profession Lucian
mocks them for considering these as a

Shaving actually became sacerdotal at
Rome. One Of the most important periods
in the life of a Roman was when he cele-
brated his entrance into manhood and as
sumed the toga virilis, marking the full
rights of citizenship. In the religious rites
that accompanied this observance the
puerile face felt the razor for the first time.

BLOW AT ALL STOCK BOARDS
Answer of Omaha Exchange to Suit of United
States.
Claim Set Up That the Anti-Trust
Law Does Not Cover the
Cnse.

OMAHA, Neb., December 3.-On behalf
of the members Of the South Omaha live
stock exchange the attorneys have filed an
answer in the United States court to the
suit of the government, in which the gov
ernment seeks to dissolve the live stock
exchange, lLder what is known as the
antitrust law of the United States. The
case IS considered Of the utmost import
ance Throughout. the country, as it involves
the validity of every exchange, whether
its business be that of live stock or specu-
Il tive stocks, and a great variety of other
business esta blshme nts all over the United
States.
the answer sets out that it is the custo-
mary practice of all cities and commercial
points 10 form exchanges of both boards
of trade to facilitate the making OF such
places a trade center. Such exchanges are
formed by dealers in stocks. bonds, grain,
cotton and other agricultural products,
live stock, oils, minerals and in almost
every trade in commodities.
Purpose of the Exchange.
The answer alleges that such associa-
tons do not engage in business, but simply
prescribe rules and provide facilities for
the transaction of business, and each mem-
ber is left free to compete with the other
members fer his fair and just conduct of
his busi1 ess. The answer then sets uo
the formation of the South Omaha ex-
change and embCdies the printed copy of
the rules.
Referring to the Union Stock Yards
company and the Omaha stock yards, the
answer denies that it is public market
nut alleges that it is private concern;
that the cattle shipped in are placed in
pens owned by the company and remain
there until sold, and the commission mer-
chant selling stock has no further control
over the disposition of the stock. The an
sWer denies that the stock yards afford the
only available place in the territory for
the sale of stock, and alleges that the
greater portion are sold by negotiations
conducted away from the yards and the
exchange.
1t is also denied that the business of COM
mission merchants in commerce partakes
of an interstate nature within the con-
that persons not members who ship stock
to South Omaha are compelled to reship
TO other markets, but is ale ged that they
ere offered every facility for making sales
Inc defendants deny unlawful combina-
ticn.
Right to Maintain Organfxa tiOn
The exchange asserts its right to MAIN
tain organization, and that it is not COM
PEELED to deal with any member who has
been expelled for misconduct or who is
threatening to destroy the exchange from
personal motives. The answer concludes
W1tf the statement that, instead of hinder
ing or 5etardtng the owners of live stock
IN the sale of their stock. the purpose of
the exchange is to facilitate each sale
and TO promote and increase the volume of
business dCne at the stock yards.
