A Rare Find

A rare find in the shape OF a moa's
egg has been made in a mining dis
trict in Central Otago. There was a
fall of earth in a dredging claim, and
presently the huge egg was seen float
Ing uninjured in the water. The dis
covery 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 in
the alluvial 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 CLEANED from the fact that a
mans hat makes an excellent egg-cIp

Womanless Town.

New York Tribune: Utah claims
town of $50 inhabitants, not one of
whom is a woman. Not only are wom-
er not allowed as residents, but they
are forbidden to enter the town limits
This unique village is named Sunny
side, and is situated in Whitmore Can
yon. near Price. 1t is coal mining
camp and is not, as might be supposed,
the property OF professed woman ha-
tiers, but of sordid business men. The
company which owns the coal mines
has no. yet secured a perfect title to
the lands which form its property.
Until the title is secure any one es-
tablishing a home on the land might
claim property right and force the
company TO buy him out, and 1t vas
to prevent any, such contingency arts
Ing that the company issued the edict
against the miners wives living in or
even visiting the place.
