Birds Eggs Too Much For Science.
It is not often that science acknowl-
edges herself at fault in an apparent
" simple matter, but she frankly does
so in regard to the color and marking
Of large proportion Of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; it cannot be an @s-
,thetic one, and all we can say with
any confidence is that the ever per-
vading instinct of distrust is probably
exhibited in eggshells as in more i'm
portant things, and the main idea in
their scheme of coloration has been
the securing; OF safety from many enc
mics by harmonizing them with their
surroundings. But it Is a scheme full
Of perplexing exceptions, which any

which prevailed in several New Eng

Of the deacons to walk up and down
the aisles of the church at the close of

to commune a metal check, which en-
titled him at the next celebration of
the Lords Supper to join in the sacred
