New Theory as to Why Birds Eggs

New Theory as to Why Birds Eggs
Vary In Color.
From Harper Magazine.
/ have often wondered why Mr. Wallace
never adduced birds eggs as examples of
recognition cOlors, where, it seems to me-
he might have made better case. 1t is a
well-known fact that birds occasionally lay
in one another's nests, and from what l
know l am inclined to think that this most
often happens between birds whose eggs
are plain or closely similar in markings so
that mistake might be eXcusable "as be-
tween friends The supposition that the
varied colorings are servceable in enabling
the owners to recognize their property
would account for the whiteness of eggs
laid in dark holes, where no markings
could easily be noticed, and would give a
reasonable explanation of the individual
variety, within specific tribal likeness,
which characteriZes all eggs However
near alike they may seem to our ewes
doubtless "a mOther-bird would be capable
OF selecting her own out of hundred jum-
bled together, so that on the whole this
theory seems to me much more tenable
than the other one.
l do not believe, however that the colora-
ton of the eggs of birds is truly explained
by either of these hypothesis, however
much nature may utilize the existing facts
in the apparent direction of either and
even though l am willing to admit freely
that the influences of natural selection may
have been, here and there, instrumental in
bringing out this or that color or pattern
/ believe. on the contrary, that these colors
and patterns are a by result of peculiari-
ties of organization intimate as is the
microscopic structure Of the shell, and that
If natural selection is to get credit for it
at all, it is only so far as protective colors
in eggs may sometimes have followed, as
secondary, or accidentally correlated
by product the tendency to produce pro-
tectively colored pumage. In other words,
there is constant relation between the
pigments that paint the feathers and those
that paint the egg: sometimes they are
suppressed altogether (but white birds
often lay highly colored eggs, g. G.. gulls) ;
sometimes they produce similar effect
giving the eggs the general tone of the
mothers plumage, as in the whippoorwill
shOre-birds, and others; and sometimes
they produce upon eggs a color effect en-
tirely different from that of the parent s
plumage. 1t must not be forgotten that the
tint of a pigment applied to an eggshell
might be widely removed from that of the
same pigment dyeing a feather; and it is
also necessary to remember that many
plumage colors are not Elementary at all,
but purely optical effects of interference Of

Cooking With Sun Rays.

coiled tube surrounded by water, this be-
ing intended merely for dstilling water.
But in India an inventor has contrived
some machines with which more varied re-
suits are accomplished. One of these is
what is termed a cooking box made of
wood and lined with rejecting mirrors, at
the bottom of the box being small COD
per boiler covered with glass to retain
the heat of the rays concentrated by the
mirrors upon the boiler. In this contriy-
ance any sort of food may be quickly cook
ed, the result being stew or boil If the
steam is retained, or If allowed to escape
1t is a bake. The heat with this device
may be augmented indefinitely by increas-
ing the diameter of the box.

WASHINGTON A CHURCHMAN.

The General COmmuned Regularly
Before the War Of the Revolution.
From the New York Times.
DIR. Eliphalet Mott Potter, formerly presi-
dent of Hobart College, and now president
of the Cosmopolitan University, was the
speaker Of the evening at the reception of
the Drawing Room Club, held at the Wal
dorf-Astoria last night. His subject was
washington as a Churchman and Com
municant." DIR. Potter said, in part:
washington as he was, not Washington
painted by gushing favorites or partisan
prejudice, is the portrait which should be
passed on from the twentieth century to
coming ages. While the materials are at
hand, it may be the privilege of any one
of u.s. with care, to add some true trait TO
the needed lifelke likeness. If, according
to the theologian, the baptized man is a
Christian, such is George Washington, the
record of whose baptism is duly substan-
tiated by sponsors and witnesses. If 10
the pastor the ideal Christian is one faith
full as church officer, such is Washington,
as an interchangeable vcStryman a designer
of church building and a liberal sup
porter of the church.
IF to the eVer-watchful congregation
prompt and regular attendance upon divine
worship attestS the Christian, such, then
was Washington, as his rector emphatical-
ly declares in the following words: He
was the most punctual attendant at church
L have ever known. NO company ever pre-
vented his coming, and his behavior was so
reverential as greatly to aid me in my
labors.'
During the wa he not infrequently rode
ten or twelve miles to divine service. His
diary further records that on succeeding
Sundays in Philadelphia he went three
times to the Episcopal service once to the
Roman Catholic. once to the Quaker and
once to the Presbyterian. Free from big
otry and respecting the religious convic-
lions of others, he was careful to retain
that confidence of the religious community
so essential for the success of the patriot
cause
1.-The English church, in which he was
brought up. became in its American
churches also very generally detested by
patriots; on the other hand, tory church.
men looked with suspicion upon Washing
tons patriotic character. Feeling ran high,
and one with delicate sense of propriety
might naturally abstain from communing
when his doing would incense those
communicates who distrusted or despised
him Naturally Bishop White in his age
did not remember to have seen him COM
mune in Philadelphia. but memory is
fallible, and bishops not always with
the same congregation.
DIR. Abercrombies story representinp
him TO have expressed himself to somebody
as though he were not a communicate can
become credible only as interpreted in view
of the many reliable witnesses who testify
that Washington was a communicate.

granddaughter of Major w. II. Ross.
The Register says:
Miss Triplett comes of family
noted for its beautiful and charming
women. sand is herself the embodiment
of every womanly grace. She reminds
one of some sweet dainty flower, wild
rose without the thorns, and under the
influence of her sweet smile and graci-

women as she who have inspired the
noblest praise the poets have ever paid

belle since her entrance into society,
and her sway extends not over men
alone, but over all who know her, and
most of all is IL acknowledged by the
girl friends who know her best.
"Of Mr. Ledyard the highest compli-
ment that could be paid him Is to say
that he in every way deserves his good
fortune He is a prominent young cotton
man, partner in the firm of d. e. Huger

out and taken to the stable. Here much
difficulty was encountered in getting the
animal into his stall.
The testimony was brought out that
Mr.. Ellis used a stick about feet long
and / 10 inches in diameter, and it was
admitted that two blows were struck
Mrs. a. Il. Guigon. standing on her

Mr.. Ellis TO desist. When he did not

that gentleman came up, the stick had
been laid aside and when the counsel
for the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty TO Animals asked who had struck
the horse, Mr.. Ellis. the owner. said he
had, twice. and pointed out the weapon
he had used. Captain Gulgon had war

and, in consequence, that gentleman APP

Mr.. Ellis was represented by Mr.. ~
