Valuable Eggs.

A moa's egg has been found in a
mining district in central OtaSo,
New Zealand. There was fall of
earth in a dredging claim and pres
emily the huge egg was seen floating
uninjurcd in the water. The dis
covery is the more interesting from
the fact that it is the second perfect
moa's egg that has ever been found.
The only other perfect specimen
was unearthed by man while dig
ging in the alluvial soil of the kai-
koura mountains in the early sixties.
This egg, which was nine inches
in length and seven inches in
breadth, was taken to England and
sold for $500. Some idea of the
size of these eggs may be CLEANED
from the fact that a mans hat makes
an excellent cgg cup for them.

THE RURAL ROUTES.

The growth of the rural routes
throughout the country has been
wonderful and to this is due the
great, big deficit the postal depart
ment showed the first of July. Be-
fore the establishment of the rural
routes the postal department was
very near to paying basis, but each
year, with the added expense Incl
dent TO the establishment and opera
tion of the routes the deficit has
grown more and more. Last year
ii was near the s25, 100000 mark.
The government is running away be-
hind on receipts and there has been
much discussion of the ACCESSIBILITY
of curtailng the rural routes, but
the farmers will protest against such
a step, and the tax payers would
welcome a stamp tax form of tax in
preference to any such curtailment.
The rural routes are recognized
as one of the greatest factors in the
growth of the rural districts and the
education of the people, and as
conyenience,-one might say a lux
ury,--they rank high. The newspa-
pers and merchants appreciate the
routes at their true value, and would
also deplore anything that tends to
in any way curtail to any extent their
operation, or the establishment of
more.
The First Congressional district of
Kentucky has been fortunate in Sc
curing a great number of these
routes. as will be seen by an item in
the news columns of today's Sun.
Congressman Ollie James comes in
for big share OF the credit for them.
He is working hard for more and
certainly is deserving of the graft
tude of his constituents.

THE BIG TUNNELS
Playing Havoc IN Some Parts Of
Chicago.

Chicago. H., July t2.--Starting
conditions in the downtown district
are revealed by the sudden settling
of the ground under Chicago streets
aud buildings. The trouble is at
tributed by engineers of the traction
companies to the construction OF the
Illinois Tunnel company condults
under the streets. The prophecy of
a catastrophe was made at the Office
Of Chief Engineer II. II. Fleming, OF
the Chicago City Railway company,
with the announcement that the
highway at Jackson boulevard and
High street had sunken ten inches
In two nights.
Engineers for the Union Loop
company have known for year
that the earth between the tunnel
and the street was giving way in
many spots, and as result II has
been necessary to jack up the
structures In several places.
