An Invincib1e Egg That Bafaed All

During a piazza game of ping-pong

lance out over the lawn, where a crow
seized it and bore it off in triumph,
evidently thinkingit was an egg. After

sultation with several Of his fellows,
and then deliberately carried the ball
to the top Of a high tree and let it drop.
Again the assembly of black feathered
eXperimenters gathered around in
amaZement. Was there ever such a
remarkable egg? It had fallen from
a height that played havoc with their
eggs and their little ones as well and
yet survived intact! Then one after
another tramped on it, cawing loudly
all the while.
At last, in sheer exhaustion and dis
gust, they all gave it up, few to the

cawing loudly, watched one of the

but that an unusual treat is in store
for them is assured.
Poems by Mr.. Stedman have been
used for musical settings Of several OF
the most distinguished American COM
posers, and he is especially gifted in
lyric composition. The song for the
Worlds Fair is considered his best eff.
fort.
Mr.. Stedman was born in Hartford,
Conn.,, in 1888, and was graduated
from Yale in the class of 1853. He be-
came editor of the Norwich (Conn.)
Tribune and the Winsted Conn Her:
aid, and in 1859 joined the staff of the
New York Tribune. He was war cor
respondent of the New York World
from 1861 to 1868. After the war he
purchased a seat in the New York
Stock Exchange, and while devoting
his life to literary work, has also car
ried on a successful Business. He has
published many volumes of his own
poems and is the editor of several COL

Studying Archaeological Remains to Find

They are digging up Greece to find

The British school will now resume
its excavations at Palaeocastro, East

will be made at Laconia. The first
site will be the Temple of Artemis, at

About Looking Glasses,

It is a curious fact that the larger
the mirror the less true is the reflection
Of the image on it's surface, while the
smaller the glass the better the relec.
ton. And the reason of this is that an
ideal mirror is one that has a perfectly
fat surface, and this result is only pos.
sible to obtain in comparatively small
glasses.
The value Of a looking glass is usu-
ally estimated by the thickness of the
glass, because the thicker it is the
stronger it must be, but, scientifically
speaking, thick glasses are defective,
because the outlines of the image re-
Iaeeted are less clearly defined.

sUPERsTlTloNs OF MECHANICS.

Some Queer Beliefs That Obtain Among
Craftsmen.
Cal McSimms, Of the Bricklayers'
Union, speaking Of superstitions
known among his craftsmen, said:
"Should a bricklayer drop a brick
from a wall while at work and break
It lengthwise it is a sure token Of great
luck. and that the man will get money,
but If 1t falls and alights on its end
and stands in that position for a mo-
ment, he is sure to die in a
month.
The painters have only one real SUI
perstition, and that is that, If While
one Of their number is at work fitting
a pane of glass he let's it fall, and it is
broken into thirteen pieces, he will
meet with i'll luck within the next
twenty-four hours.
Many of the walters in the restau-
rants believe If the first order they
take in the morning is for ham and
eggs they will have good luck all that
day. 1t is a common superstition
among the BARRIERS that If a man
comes into the shop and has a long
beard removed there will be a marriage
among the BARRIERS in the place soon.-

British officers should be cognizant of

They are now taking advantage of
their presence to watch and to gather
ideas from the japanese arrangements
