what Science Has Discovered ne
Earding the Incubation ana nirth
Of the Little Things.


Il a fertile egg has been ~incubating
for wen "a hours, a small speck is
visible, but it is not d~iscernible in thick
or dark-sheIled eggs; but IL the egg
we're broken open, It would be per-
ceived that the vesIcle had enlarged,
and radiating from It would be a num-
Der Of minute b-lood-Yessels.
On the third day these blood-vessels
will have completely surrounded the
yOlk. and the small dark spot in the
center will have developed into the eye
or brain. The brain is the first part to
take definite form.
On or about the fourth day a respira-
tory membrane is formed, and the egg
gradually increases in opacity until
after the seventh day it is not prac-
ticable to form any Judgment Of the
progress Of the chick BY means Of light.
By the tenth day the bones Of the
skeleton have begun to assume cone
sistency, the internal organs have q de-
cided shape, the heart is formed, and
all vital parts are complete. On certain
parts feathers are growing, and all de-
velopment from hence Is rapidly car
ried on.
On the twelfth day heat is given out
and that is easily demonstrated to those
who use ~incubators, as less heat is re-
quired to keep up the temperature, and
it is generally necessary to bacl
the weight.
The chick reaches its perfect form Of
the fifteenth day, and from thence grow
in size, until, on the nineteenth day
respiration through the. lungs take
place.
Up to within a few hours Of the ext
of the chick from the shell, the eg
bag lies outside the bird. Immediate
ly before Matching it is absorbed int
the intestines, and forms sufficient sus
~tenance for the chick for "a hour!
Therefore, people should avoid attempt

healthy, they will help themselves read

If all has gone well the eggs will b

ATLANTA's NOTED LANDMARK.
The House Where Gen. sherman
Planned His EInFOh tn the e
to BE Torn Down.

The Leyden house, one Of the most
historic landmarks of Atlanta, is go
ing to give way before the general
wave Of prosperity that has been
sweeping over Atlanta.
In the antebeIlum days the Leyden
house was the home OF the family
whose name it bears. 1t was one Of the
handsomest residences IN this section
Of beautiful homes, anil there the
wealth and culture of tie state were
frequently assembled.
During the siege Of Atlanta the
house was several times struck by fed
eral bullets, and the large trees which.
to-day stand in the front yard and
which must be removed for the new
house was struck by a federal cannon
ball and it's top was cut of
When Gen. Sherman marched into
Atlanta at the head Of the northern
army he selected the Leyden house for
federal headquarters, a2d during the
summer of 1864 vas quartered there,
1t was in the old residence that the
famous march to the sea" was
mapped out and the plans laid for its
successful conclusion. Because it had
been headquarters, it was one Of the
few buildings which were spared when
Sherman applied the torch to Atlanta
and left it in ashes
Since then other and perhaps inel
homes have been reared in the immedi

The New York CentraIs Empire State
Express is recognized as the swiftest and
surest train operated by Americas greatest
railroad, and considered the very best means
to cover the ground in the time required. It
is for this reason that The Harvard Uni
versity football team named their best and
surestplay of the season Of l9O2th Empire
State Express,i for they believed it TO be
the most reliable play in their programme.
It was successful throughout the season
until il met Yale's ''2Oth Century Limited"
play, which was just as swift, sale and sure,
butEad longer endurance and was 'limited"
only by the size of the field. The names Of
