THE AUX AND IT'S EGG.

rope. Finally, about 1921, the last one
positively seen was captured, and to-
day its stuffed body is in the British
museum, but for 80 years at least not Il
single great aux has been taken, and in
consequence the few remaining eggs OF
these birds nave, year by year, become
more and more precious.
Seventy-fve years since, great auk's
egg at auction would fetch about 500,
and the heads of museums became very
eager to secure good specimens, but as
only about 70 eggs. remained in all Eu-
rope their price began to go steadily up.
In the year 1880, or thereabouts, an Eng
lishman, a great student of natural his
tory, and the possessor of quite an
elaborate private museum, bought some
birds eggs of tisherman's wife on the
French coast. Among the seamew and
gull eggs he secured was one fine, speck
led shell, easily recognized as that of
great aux. lie paid only dollar for the
perfect specimen, took it to London,
and in course of time it was sold for
$105, -Four years ago the same egg
was put up at auction in London, and a
wealthy gentleman did not hesitate TO
pay 81, 800 for the perfect shell.
A damaged egg at auction brought
S915, while an auk's skin is worth 81, 500.
in all only 70 skins of this bird remain,
nine skeletons aud few loose bones.
The Museum Of Natural History in New
York city possesses a handsome stuffed
skin, but only two Of the valuable eggs
are owned in America.
So great, however, is the interest in
aux eggs that the museums have plaster
casts of them, made with the greatest
care from the finest egg in Europe, ex.
hibited in the museum of Liverpool
This shell is not only spotted, but
prettily streaked in brown on its
creamy surface, and its value is esti'
mated as high as $4,000
In Leipsic, in Geneva, London anc
Paris, great aux eggs are kept in mu
seums, and one of the eggs that has
come TO America is owned in Phiadel
phia. So great, indeed, is the interes
felt by students of natural history il
this big sea bird that has become cx
tinct in our century, that books hav,
been filled with its history. When Nan
sen set out on his polar expedition
sharp lookout was kept for the grea
aux, since there are persons who be
lieve that a few lonely specimens sti.
exist somewhere up in the Arctic circle
and that keen eyes can still find IT
eggs, worth SO many times their weigh

GARNER THE BEAUTIFUL.

Garner the beautiful as you 60;
Walt not for a time OF leisure,
The hours of toll may be long and slow,
And the moments few of pleasure
But beauty strays by the common ways.
And calls to the dullest being;
Then let not thine ear be deaf to hear,
Or thine eye be slow in seeing.
Kind nature calls from her varied halls;
II will give you balm for Sadness"
Let the sunsets CLEAN and the laugh Of the
stream
Awaken thoughts of gladness
If bird should pour his song by the door,
Let thy heart respond with singing
The winds and the trees have harmonies
That may set thy joy-bells ringing.
Pause oft by flower in it's leafy bower.
And feast thine eye on its beauty
A queen hath bliss no rarer than this,
'Tis thy privilege and duty
And oh, when the shout of a child rings
out,
And its face is bright with gladness,
Let it kindle the shine of JOY in thine,
And Danish care and sadness!
Then gather the beautiful by your way,
1t was made for the souls adornng;
'Tis darksome path which no radiance
hath
At noon, at eve, in the morning
Hard is the soil where we delve and toll
In the homely field of duty;
But the hand of our King to us doth Cling
The shining flowers of duty;

Companion.
