RARE EGG CURIOSITY.
Interesting Fossilized Specimen in
Possession of University of
California.

A fossilized egg, preserved in 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 fossilized 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 ritting on the outside. The
specimen is about the size of an ordi-
nary hens egg, but little longer.

TELEGRAPH IS BEATEN.
London Newspaper Gives Readers
Speech "a Minutes After Delivery
by Means of New Instrument.

England has grown so accustomed to
looking to the United States for marvels
of journalistic enterprise that London
ers find it difficult to realize that what
is practically a revolution in reporting
has been inaugurated by one of their
own papers. A speech delivered by
Joseph Chamberlain in Birmingham re-
Gently was read in the London Daily
Mail exactly II minutes after it was de-
livered
BY means of the electrophone it was
transmitted to the Office of the Daily
Mail, 113 miles distant, where it was re-
peated to staff of reporters, every word
being clearly heard. The speech was
printed verbatim and the paper was
selling on the streets in three minutes
less than half an hour after Mr.. Cham
berlain had ceased speaking
Telegraphic reports of the same
speech arrived in London more than an
hour after the Daily Mail was on the
street.
The electrophone is the invention of
an Englishman. 1t is claimed for it
That 1t marks the beginning of a new era
In certain branches of newspaper work
Though this was remarkable jour-
nalistic feat, pointing to immensely USE
1ul development of the electrophone in
the future, that instrument is not yet
perfected for such purpose. When Mr..
chamberlain was speaking straight be-
lore him his words were clearly audible,
but when he turned to one side they be-
came indistinct, and cheering and other
Interruptions from the audience blurred
them. 1@~
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke so minutes,
and his speech contained about 10000
words. Fifteen minutes after he spoke
his last word of the speech it was in
type in London.

RABIES SERUM BLINDS CATTLE
Misfortune Thought to Have Result
ed from incubation of Squirrels
to Kill Them OF.

Several months ago the University of
California professors inoculated with
rabies serum the squirrels which in
tested the grain fields of Contra Costa
county. 1t was thought at the time
that the serum would prove harmful to
nothing but the squirrels. The expert
ment of trying serum through these lit
tie animals at once proved successful,
and they died off by countless thou
sands. While the test was at first con-
fined to part of Contra Costa county,
the use Of the serum soon became gen.
eral throughout the farming region
northeast of Oakland.
The announcement is now made that
as result of the serum tests cattle are
going blind in Contra Costa county.
On one little ranch IL cows have gone
blind. The owner believes his misfor-
tune is due to the squirrel test. The
farmers are afraid the horses may next
be infected.

THIS YEARS VINTAGE POOR.
Reports from Wine Producing Gen.
tiers Mark Yield of 1908 as Being
Far from Satisfactory.

According to the latest accounts it is
to be feared that the prospects of the
present vintage are somewhat cherries
and unpromising. The yield in general
will be small, and the year 1903 will not
figure in the coming records of WHIT
age as a year of much brilliance.
White wines are a conspicuous fail
ure, although some small success is
promised in regard to the famous spark
ling wines produced IN the neighbor-
hood of Rheims, owing to the spell of
fine weather In September. Long con-
tinued rains have damaged the vines Of
the Bordeaux districts and the crop is
small. From Beaune comes similar
story, while the news from Jarez de la
Frontera, where the heat has been in
tense and the season dry, is in favor Of
a fairly good vintage.
Again, port will not rank high either
in quality or quantity this year, and the
yield of wine along the banks of the
Rhine and the Moselle is small, and the
mine is without any great promise of fine
development The harvest in the Char
ente is also small, owing to which cir
cumstance probably much of the wine
is being bought for direct consumption,
and will not reach the still at all; the
yield of brandy, therefore. is likely to
be small.
Against all this we have the report
that the vintages of South Australia and
california are satisfactory as regards
