The Largest Eee.

The egg of the aepiornis, Just pur-
chased for the United States National
museum, is probably the largest egg
In existence. II is ~ inches long and
10 inches wide, and its shell is near
iy a quarter of an inch thick and as
hard as a rock. Some idea OF its size
may perhaps be had when it is stated
that it is capable of holding the con-
tents of six ostrich eggs, or 148 hens
eggs, or 10000 humming birds eggs.

The New Pet Cat.

A prominent figure a. the Crystal
Palace cat show. says the London

really cat at all. but 4 lemu. The
animal is soft and fluffy, and makes an
ideal pet for children owing to the
fact that, being vegetarian. it is not
furnished with claws. and has merely
harmless teeth which II never uses
spitefnlly. The Madagascar cat is its
formal title. and there is every likefi-
hood that this pretty little creature
Will become very popular as pet.
