 RarN Find.

A rare find in the shape of moa'a egg has been made in a mining dis trict in Central Otago. There was fall of earth in dredging claim, and presently the huge egg was seen float ing uninjured in the water. The dis coyery is the more interesting from the fact that this is the second perfect moa's egg that has ever been found. The only other perfect specimen was unearthed by man while digging iii the alluyial soil at the Kaikoura noun tains in the early sixties. This egg, which was nine inches in length and seven inches in breadth, was taken to England and sold for 100 guineas. Some idea of the size of these eggs may be rleaned from the fact that mans hat makes an excellent egg-cup for them.

Halibut in Alaskan Waters.

Washington special Minneapolis Journal: One of the most remarkable things on the North Pacific coast is the large number of halibut in Alaskan waters. Small steamers catch cargoes in few hours time, and it Is no strange thing to see hundred thou sand pounds caught in from two to three days. Last month an Ameri- can steamer on her way to Tacoma had 1000 pounds of halibut caught off the Alaskan coast in three and a half days by eighteen men. At three cents per pound this cargo was worth $3,906. s44~

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Much Sickness Prevented by Its sub-
 stitution for Gas

There are no stronger advocates for electric lighting in houses than medical men, who say that an immense amount of sickness has been saved since the electric light took the place Of gas in modern houses. There can be no doubt that in the matter of maintaining the purity of air during incandescence. electricity stands without q rival. Air is composed of four parts of nitrogen combined with one part of oxygen. The nitrogen. in sense, inodifies the too active powers of oxygen, which if undiluted, would make every one in- haling it so excessively energetic that the human framework would speedily be racked to pieces. When eombus- ton takes place oxygen Is absorbed, aud carbon dioxide ia poisonous gas) Is given off The act of breathing pro- duees a similar effect, and thus resem- bles the burning of lamp or candle. Air containing as little as per cent of carbon dioxide is difficult To breathe in, and when 1t is considered that a medium gas burner produces as much of this gas as eight or nine men fabout six feet per hour) 1t naturally follows that air in room so lighted soon be- comes dangerous. Besides carbon di- oxide, there are other impurities in gas, such as snlphurous acid, ammonia, sulphuretted hydrogen, etc, which vary in quantity according to the purity of the gas. Each has it's own deleterious effect on the air and surroundings. ana most of them cause flame to be less luminous. With an electric incandes- cent lamp there Is no combustion. The filament merely becomes ineandeseent by reason Of it's resistance to the pas sage of the current, which is compelled to exert q certain amount of energy in travelling through it. This energy is given back by the filament in the form of light, but the whole being hermetic- ally sealed in vac'.o there is no ex- halation from Il ocess of incan- deseence, and l.. de air remains unvitiated by ii.

nanaoy Increasing in England.

Lunacy shows an alarming growth In England. Statistics just published give 105,0S6 as the total of certified lunatics, an increase of 3.114 over the preceding year. This is the greatest annual in- crease recorded by over 1000. The rate of recovery also shows a backward movement. from 3S.S1 per cent to 36.S7. Agricultural laborers provide the larg- est proportion Of lunatics. attributable to low standard of life and the use of strong. cheap Indian teas Clerks furnish the next greatest proportion of lunatics. Here also hard, wearing. un- derpaid work and insufficient food is the leading cause. It is contended that the increase in lunacy is more appar- ent than real, and is due chiefly to the law regulating the notification Of lu- natics, but experts agree that the stress Of modern life is the prime factor In promoting lunaey. s..-.

A stradivarius Sold for Dollar.

Apropos of fiddles, here Is good story. While on visit to the exhibi- ton in Paris h 1867 a wealthy San Francisco merchant purchased a Stra- divarius for some s1,500,. and on his death the treasure was left to his son. The latter has just died, and in ac- cordance with the provisions Of his will the precious possession was sent to an auction sale. After examination by ex- perts in the auetioneer's establishment 1t was knocked down for dollarl It was simply a German made fiddle of the poorest quality. The most anus ing thing is that the two possessors of 1t, both father and son, considered 1t much too precious to be played on.

and Chicago as mostly 10 cents lower.
The Wichita market was more than in

the quotations yesterday being such as
indicated this situation. There was
strong demand for hogs all day. and
twice as many Of the fat butcher grade
would have been taken, and at strong
prices. The quality of the hogs offered
on sale was very fair, but there was
nothing which showed UP a standard Of
quality such as those of the day previ-
Gus. The tops of yesterday went at
s.. II12, two cars going at this price Five
cars went at the $4.75 price: two cars
at the next point A.72lz, and one car
at the $40 figure, with two additional
at S4.5r2. There was a noticeable re-
action from the extra heavy run Of the
day previous, but all hogs which came
in yesterday were quickly sold and at
the best market prices. There was moth
Ing left over at the close yesterday. the
pens being empty and all Oiarings on
the day sold, and at the best market
prices On the close yesterday there ex-

More hogs were wanted The Armour
Packing company and the Dold Packtng
company were both in the market for all
hogs that might come in. Tt was a
very good day IN all respects, but more
hogs are wanted, and they viii be taken
care Of as fast as they come in.
