HIGH PRICE OF EGGS
One Specimen bought for one Dollar
sixty Years Ago Recently Sold
at Auction for 81 800.

In the eyes of0 boy who collects birds
eggs there Is no object SO precious and
so beautiful perhaps, as a modest look
ing white shell touched with brown
spots and proven to be that of great
aux or garefowl. Two hundred years
ago 10 people who lived along the rocky
coast of Maine, or up in the Scotch
islands, these eggs, and the ungainiy
mother aux who laid them, were not un-
usual sights, for at that time great auks
were plentifA enough in those regions,
and collectors of birds eggs were few
and far between.
Nowadays, however, the person who
says he or she has seen great aux alive
is likely to have their yeracity doubted,
while anyone who possesses an egg laid
by this big sea fowl is considered very
lucky individual indeed Fifty years
ago a few seararing men shot great
auks In the cold seas Of northern Eu-

Ice BIazes In kansas.

When Doniphan lake, in Kansas, is
covered with ice the boys and girls can
make u blaze at any time by making q
hole in the ice and holding a lighted
match to the opening. Instantly jet
of flame will leap up several feet in the
air and will burn brightly for some
minutes. This is because large quanti-
ties Of natural gas bubble up from the
bed Of the lake and are held Uuder the
surface Of the ice. In some parts of the
lake the gas supply is SO great that IL
prevents ice from forming except in the
coolest weather. II Is not an uueom-

derstand either the look, tons or words
OF their mistress and Immediately

day.
Either the harsh command or the loss
of their mistress affected them so Sc
riously that Dick died three days later;
a week later another died, and a few
days later the last one dropped from
his perch and WAS dead the next morn
ing when found. They had hardly
touched food since the command to stop
singing. They were laid to rest in little
graves made on top Of the mound.

CHAPTER XVIII.

"Be at my office at five o'clock sharp and
wait till l come.
As soon as he received this message,
DR. Lampllin turned a patient over to
his assistant, and went down to Hen
bricks office in Park Row, arriving a
few minutes before five. The office boy
said Hendricks had not come. The doc
tor went in and took a seat.
An hour passed, and still there was no
sign of the detective. Another hour
dragged by. 1t was growing dark. The
office boy came in, lighted the gas, and
laid down an evening paper.
ANY message from Mr.. Hendricks

"You have no idea where he is?"
"No, sir"

"Just round the corner, sir"
"I have had nothing to eat since
lunch," said the doctor. IF Nlr Hen
bricks comes in, tell him he can find
me there, or will meet me on the way
back"
DIR. Lampldn went 10 the restaurant,
remained there 20 minutes, and re-
turned to the Office. Hendricks had not
arrived, nor sent any word of explana-
tion. The time passed very slowly to
the doctor. He smoked a cigar, stretched
himself on a lounge near an open win
dow, and, concentrating his mind upon
the idea that he would wake at the
slightest sound, allowed himself TO
sleep.
At half past II he was aroused. II

lie Rode into a nath.

An amusing accident befell a young
cyclist at Vienna recently. He was
cycling on the border of the blue Dan
ube, when, in order to avoid the traffic,
he rode too near the edge, lost his pres
ence of mind and equilibrium at the
same time and took a header. Fortu-
nately he could swim like a fish, and
quickly regained the land. But his cy-
cle-that was another matter. How
ever, some boatmen came to his assist
ance, and the erring wheel was fshed
mp from the bed Of the river, neither
rider nor the machine, judging from the
pace at which he made of, being one
penny the worse.

ALL IN ONE GRAVE.
Pathetic Little Tragedy In which a
Dying Girl and Three Devoted
Cunarlcs Took Parts.

The last scenes of a pathetic little
drama and tragedy in which canary
birds were conspicuous actors has just
been enacted, and little girl and three
canaries are under the sod in one grave.
Some time ago Minnie Fay, a charming
little girl, died. She had been sick for
some time, and death came as a relief.
During her long sickness her most in
innate friends lad been three canary
birds, which occupied cage just over
her bed where she could see them.
There they sang to her their best
songs, and there she watched them with
the kindliest devotion. AS she became
weaker and weaker the birds seemed
to notice that something momentous
was at hand. AS she neared death she
became very nervous, and the little
songs OF her canaries, instead of pleas
ing her. annoyed her At last one day
she became very nervous, and when the
birds began to sing she interrupted
them by exclaiming, nervously: "Oh,

 FISHER

Waterbury, Jan. 29.-To-day a repre- sentative of the Waterbury Athletic club gained the consent of Dan Murphy for match with Harry Fisher. to be given in Waterbury on February +. Although the articles are not signed, the match is practically made, for the club gives out that they have secured Fishers consent. This Is of the great est interest to followers of boxing, for 1t means that the Waterbury Athletic club have accomplished what others have tried and failed, viz, getting Fisher to consent to meet Murphy again. It is the match that Dan Mur- phy is most anxious for, as Fisher holds a decision over him gained at Hartford Dan thinks that he can best this man. and before he goes any further with West, Smith, O'Brien or the others, he wants to settle accounts with Fisher.
 To give additional interest to this bout Harry Peppers has induced George Byers to consider match with him, and these two men will meet for fifteen rounds as preliminary, with a splendid side bet
