Shasta's Dancing Egg.

Shasta county, California, is the land
or wonders. They have a volcano out
there that the natives brag about from
infancy to the grave They have copDer
MINES that beat all creation. and the in
nabItants have even been known to boast
OF the size and ferocity Of their fieas.
The latest is the dancing egg. 1t is
laId by some as yet undetermined in
sect on the leaves OF oak trees Masses
OF these eggs cling to the under side of
the leaf: and as they advance toward
maturity they. drop to the ground and
dance about like electrical automatic. By
hcldlng an oak tWig containing any num-
Der OF eggs to ones ear cracking sonnd
may be heard, like the splitting of elec-
lric sparks: The shell contains d tiny
grub, working for release.
he curiosity is attracting great deal
OF local attention. In many towns col
lectIons OF the eggs are on exhibition.
W hen laid on a table these eggs bound
about and spring into the air. sometimes
to height of sixteen inches They are
particularly active in the early morning
\ theory is advanced that this embry-
onlc parasites presence in such ahun-
dance is probably due to the absence of
