A Life Saved,

Frank B. Trout Tells a Reporter Of How His Daughters

From the Eycnino Me,us, Detroit, Mich.

Using as q nucleus for his investigation
the rumor that the life of the daughter of
Frank b. Trout, we'll known in Detroit,

reporter called on Mr.. Trout at his office,
lob Griswold Avenue. Mr.. Trout slowed

profession had exhausted their skill. At
the age of fourteen WI had to take our
daughter from school owing to her health.
Before this she had been in the best of

BIRDS EGGS.

The Reasons Why They Are Not All OF
One Shape.
Why is there not a fixed form for all
eggs? We can see no reason in the anat-
omy Of the bird, but we may often find
reasons for the shape Of any particular
egg in its later history.
It is noticeable, for instance. that the
more spherical eggs, as those Of owls,
trogons and the like, are usually laid
in holes in the earth, rocks or trees,
where they cannot fall out of the nest,
and that the eggs Of the ordinary song
bird, which makes a we'll constructed
nest, are oval, while the slim, straight
sided, conoidal eggs, tapering sharply
to o point, belong to birds that construct
little or no nest-to the shore birds,
terms, guillemots and the like. Whys
Because these last drop them in small
clutches and with little or no prepara-
ton upon sand or rock, where. were
they spherical. they could only with
difficulty be kept closer beneath the sit
ting bird, but conical objects will tend
always to roll toward q center. An ad-
ditional advantage is that eggs of the
latter shape will take up less space
form a snugger package to be warmed.
In the case Of guillemots the single egg
laid is especially fiat sided and tapering.
and the species owes its perpetuation
largely to this circumstance, since.
were it not for the eggs toplike tenden-
cy to revolvc about it's OWL apex, the
chances are that it would be pushed of
the ledge of naked sea cliff where the
careless or stupid bird leaves it.
This suggests a word in reference to
the popular fable that sitting birds care
fully turn their eggs every day or often
er in order to warm them equally. No
such thing Is done, because unnecessary
since. as we have seen. the germinal
part always rises to the top and places
itself nearest the influential warmth cf

A WONDER.
The Tramp Red Sandstone Bowlder Of
the New jersey Mountains.

The Tramp Red Sandstone Bowlder Of
the New jersey Mountains.
Countless thousands of years ago vast
stretches Of glacial deposits came slid
ing across the state of New Jersey,
mounted the Palisades. pushed their
way across the Hudson river, secured
over Manhattan Island and slid out into
the Atlantic ocean, whittier they disin.
tegrated aSd sank into the deep or per-
haps glided Oh to the other shore.
But in their onward march these
glaciers left i~ndestructible evidence of
their grinding stride, and today all
along the palisades the trap rocks and
powders are Worn smooth where the
mountains of ice and sand passed over
them. In some rocks are deep scratches,
all pointing eastward and showing
which way the glacial deposits drifted.
There is the evidence, mute, but iudis.
putable.
10 the careful observer there are
numberless other evidences of the pres
ence of glacial influences i'll the past,
but none is more convincing than the
tramp bowlder that has finally settled
down i'll the woods in the heart of En-.
glewood borough. There it sits, u tow.
ering mass of rock weighing perhaps
200 tons and resting upon three points
which in themselves find u purchase on
a fiat rock that is part of and common
to the character of rock which composes
the palisades. But, strangely enough
and to the wonderment of biologists,
the tramp bowlder is red sandstone from
the Jersey hills 20 miles inland, and
the pedestal is metamorphite or soft
granite.
Around this marvellous monument
have grown trees that may perhaps be
a century old, and they have completely
hedged it in, while the rock itself has
stood where it stands today for thou
sands of years. On the pedestal or that
part of it which is protected from the
action Of the elements can be seen the
deep ridges and scars made across its
fiat surface by the great grinding pres.
sure of the body Of ice and sand that
passed over it countless years ago when
New York was ice and snow clad and
the world was q desolate waste in a
state of chaos.
This tramp bowlder has caused geol-
ogists much wonderment and is regard
ed today as m Of the finest specimens
ever left in the wake of a glacier. It is
equally astounding as though an explor-
er should find the hull Of a steamboat in
the Sahara desert. The only way it could
get there would be through some great
convulsion that had landed it from the
sea in the heart Of the inland sands

TILE TRAFFIC DECISION.

| The bond and stock markets snow h'
| foo,,rg ~ alarm at the decision OF the
| United States Supreme Court In the mat
| ter OF the traffic associations. it would
| therefore. seem that the decision Is not
| Of such far-rcaching Importance as fas
been reported. or that the railroad com
panies interested see a way out OF the
| difiiculty.
On the one hand we have the New
! York papers saying that rate-cutting mas
| been going on for months. and that the
situation is not altered by the decision,
| and on the other II is understood that
Congress will be again appealed TO to
modify the existing law. under when the
court has smashed the trafhc associa-
lions. The New Workers, however. have
long been complaining about the differ
entails" and have contended that their
effect was TO divert the grain trade from
their city to Baltimore, Newport News
and Norfolk. So. If the decision should
result in breaking up the diferential sys-
TEN we can well understand that rhey
would MOI complain.
Whether Congress can be persuaded to
pass an act modifying the present law,
so as 10 allow pooling under certain con-
ditions. is a question. At it's last session,
we believe. the House agreed TO such
measure but it failed in the Senate. But
Il may be that the Senate would be more
favorably disposed now that the court
has acted finally, and in view of the
generally received opinion that war OF
rates could not prove of permanent BEN
eff to any class in the community.
The railroad people appear TO be calrl
and confident but upon what basis that
feeling rests is not obvious TO the aver
age observer. However they have the
matter in their own hands largely, and,
OF course no rate-war can be inauguratei
unless some of them begin il. 1t is known
that the monetary world, and the Dusi-
ness public generally, would frown upon
any such movement, and this may ensure
conservatism in quarters where 1t might
not be found under other circumstances.
At present, the markets refuse TO be
agitated by the decision in question, or
by the rumors of trouble between France
and England, or by the pending political
canvass. Indeed, their solidity at this
time is quite wonderful, and is much TO
be admired.
