RARE EGG CURIOSITY.
interesting FOss1lized Specimen in
Possession of University of
California.

A fossilized egg, preserved in a hard
nodule, is the rare curiosity which the
University of California geological de-
partment is now carefully examining
with the hope of ultimately acquiring.
The interesting specimen has only one
other rival known on the Pacific coast.
and this is now in the museum of the
California Academy of Sciences. in San
Francisco. The new fossinzed egg Is
said to have come from Arizona. There
can be no mistake about the nature of
the curiosity, as an expert examination
has revealed the fact that the delicate
shell has been perfectly preserved, even
to the fine pitting on the outside. The
specimen is about the size of an ordi-
nary hens egg, but a little longer.

SPEECH WITHOUT WORDS.
Death of William Briggs, NJ. p, Re-
calls Notable Incident In the
House of Commons.

With the death of William Briggs
Billy Briggs" as he was affectionats-
ly called in the British house of COM
mons-has passed away perhaps the
only man who ever made a speech in
the house by dumb show only.
Briggs had the distinction, when
only 20 years old, of capturing the seat
which John Morley lost, and early In
his career took, an energetic stand on
the side of what were called the OBJ
structionists. On one occasion, after a
firing nights debate, he rose at six
o'clock in the morning to keep up the
debate, but he had lost his voice, and
not a word was he able to utter. His
head wagged, and all the characteristic,
graphic picturesqueress of rhetorical
energy were there. His lips moved
with unwonted rapidity, but not a
sound came from them.
At first the house was startled. Then
the humor of the situation manifested
itself. Members of both sides entered
into the fun and boisterous laughter
swept through the building. At every
point made by fingers or by the sweep
of the arm, volleys of cheers were sent
up, as though the enraptured audience
was drinking in eloquence of the rarest
kind. 1t was one of the funniest scenes
ever enacted in the house of commons
Briggs was afterwards congratulated
for the novelty and success of his meth
cd of being obstructive without toe
much of a strain on his physical
strength.
