patriotic American airs which were
responded to with vigorous cheer after

as from the bands and drum and pipe

answered with cheers interspersed
with cries of "Wela ka hao" which
the Boys in Blue tried in vain to
catch. The Tiger" of the Pennsly

land this morning. The men aboard
the Zealandia comprise the Tenth Re

SEA BIRDS AND THEIR EGGS.
Hunters Contest with Gul1s for Pos
session of the Spells.

If the murre is disturbed by an egg
hunter and its single egg taken it will
return and replace it's successfully
stolen ovum until eight have been LAID.
It is loath to leave its lest, even when
the despoiler approaches, and when ne
comes up she leans away from him ana
moves over to the far side of the nest.
But presently, yielding to the alarm
within her breast, she emits a sudden
squawk and flies off, flushing the en-
tire rookery as she moves toward the
sea, leaving the plckers to I'LL their
pouched shirts with the booty. They
must hurry the work, for as soon as
the eggs are uncovered the gulls hover
close and become thick upon the scene.
These the men must fight off, for they
braZenly interpose themselves and bat
tie with the humans for the possession
of the eggs.
The opportunity being open, the gull
sweeps down upon the murre egg,
seizes it in it's mouth and goes sailing
aloft, cracks it in it's bill and gobbles
what Of it's contents it can, the residue
falling on the rocks below. Then it
takes another swoop away and bal
ances itself to spy out new egg. The
CULTS egg is palatable.
That these islands were a great re-
pository of edible eggs became known
in the early sos. AT the time OF the
discovery Of this fact provisions were
scarce and gold plentiful in San Fran
cisco, and the rookery eggs offered IN
the markets of that city brought one
dollar dozen. The opening Of this
new and free opportunity to acquire
wealth precipitated numbers of people
upon the inlands and in the business OF
egg gathering. Quarrels ensued be-
tween the competitors as to their re-
spective rights" in the premises, with
the result that a company was formed
among a number of the pickers, which
bought out the claims of the others.
This company managed to hold onto
it's advantages for some years, not,
however, without experiencing contests
and encroachments, until the bicker-
ings ultimately grew SO fierce as to at
tract the attention of the United States
district attorney at San Francisco. He
sent a detachment of government sol
diers there and deported every egg
picker.-Harper's Magazine.

GREATEST OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Larger and Heavier than Any Other
Previously Built.

A leyiathan on wheels has just been
introduced on the system operated IN
connection with the various works OF
the Carnegie Steel Company. The loco
motive is the largest and heaviest IN
the world, powerful enough, if it were
nut to the test, to haul more than the
entire cargo of great freight steamer.
It was built by the Pittsburg Locomo-
tive Works on an order from the
Union Railroad Company of Pittsburg.
It is not only larger and heavier as
whole than any locomotive previously
built. but exceeds all others in many
of it's essential details. The weight on
the drivers is 2OS,000 pounds. The Mex
lean Central double-boiler locomotives
have 100000 pounds on two separate
driving wheel bases, and the tank loco
motives of the st. Clair tunnel have
10000 pounds on ten driving wheels
The twelve-wheel locomotives Of the
Great Northern Railroad have total
of weight of 212,750 opounds, of which
only $4,000 pounds are on the driving
wheels. The cylinders Of the new loco
motive are 23x32 inches, as compared
with 21x34 inches for the Great North
ern, and its total boiler-heating surface
is 1892 square feet, as compared with
1920 on the Great Northern. 1t not only
has greater weight on its drivers, but
exceeds also in cylinder power and in
the producing capacity of the
boiler the most powerful locomotives
ever constructed.
An indication Of the power of the To-
connective is furnished by the character
Of the work demanded of it. About
four miles OF the line upon which it is
operated has Il grade OF seventy feet a
| mile, and on one stretch Of about 1000
feet, up across the main line of the

A Silk Worm OF the Sea,

Silk is obtained from the shellfsh
known as the pima (mytilidae), which
is found in the Mediterranean. This
shellfish has the power of spinning a
viscid silk which in Sicily is made into
regular and very handsome fabric
The silk is spun by the shellfsh, in the
first instance, for the purpose of attach
ing itself to the rocks. 1t is able to
guide the delicate filaments to the
proper place and there glue them fast,
and if they are cut away it can repro
duce them.
The material when gathered (Which
is done at low tide) is washed in soap
and water, dried, Strengthened and
carded, one pound of the coarse fila
ment yielding about three ounces of
fine thread, which when spun is of a
lovely FURNISHED golden brown color

A Slight Difference.

lady who has in her room a piece of
statuary which bears the inscription,
''Kismet." The housemaid was busting
the room one day, when the mistress

you mind tellin' me the MANN of this

"'Kismet' means 'fate'," answered
the lady.
''Sure, an is that it," said the girl.

The language of diplomacy is always
restrained, but while the words are
carefully chosen so as to avoid unneces-
sary offense, every phrase has definite
meaning. When Lord Rosebery was
prime minister in England there were
signs that France had set her eyes upon
the equatorial provinces in Africa from
which the Egyptian garrisons had been
withdrawn during the Soudan rebellion.
He authorized Sir Edward Grey to de-
clare, in 1895, that French advance to
the waters Of the Nile would be regard
cd by the British Government as "an
unfriendly act" In ordinary CONVEX
sation these three words would not be
emphasized by any stress of voice, nor
would they ordinarily be accepted as a
warning. The man who protests in adj
vance against an invasion of his rights
generally uses stronger word than
"unfriendly." He refers to it as wan
ton outrage or as a "high-handed act
of hostility What diplomacy means
by IAN unfriendly act' is an offense
committed by one Government against
another, which involves immediate
risks of war. When Sir Edward Grey's
warning was unheeded, and the French
flag was raised on the Upper Nile at
FashOda three years afterward, there
was grave situation. France had co,n-
mitted an offense against England, and
was confronted by demand that Mar
chand should retire from Fashoda. The
terms of the demand implied forcible
action if it was not complied with Pres
ident Monroe, who was a diplomatist
like his Secretary of State, John Quincy
Adams, used the same word '.unfriend-
ly'' in proclaiming the famous doctrine
which bears his name. He declared that
any attempt on the part of European
powers to interfere with or Cypress the
independent republics of the American
continent, or to control their destiny,
could not be viewed ''in any other light
than as a manifestation of an unfriend-
" disposition toward the United States
The phrase seems mild and lacking in
emphasis. As diplomatists have under
stood the words, it has been strong and
definite The Monroe doctrine, with the
warning implied by the single word
"unfriendly," has sufficed for seventy
five years to protect the Western Henri.

the eel was no bigger than a baby's

at the place OF deformity something
