Valuable Eggs

A moa's egg has been found in a
mining district in Central Otago, New
Zealand. There was fall of earth in
a dredging claim, and presently the
huge egg was seen floating uninjured
in the water The discovery 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 a
man while digging in the alluvial soil
at the Kaikoura mountains, in the
early sixties. The egg. which was nine
inches in length and seven inches in
breadth, was taken to England and
sold for $780, Some idea of the size OF
these eggs may be CLEANED from the
fact that mans hat makes an ex-
cellent egg cup for them.

Coronation Chair

The chair known as st. Edwards
has been in use since 1896. At least it
was brought to England in that year.
but previous to that it was the corona
ton chair for the kings of Scotland
and had been used for that purpose
since very ancient times. Since it was
brought to England it has been kept in
Westminster abbey and every ruler of
England has been crowned in 1t. I'm
der the seat is board supported by
four lions. On this rests the famous
Jacobs stone, or stone of destiny, on
which Jacobs head is said to have rest
ed when he had the vision of seeing
the ladder which ascended to heaven.
This stone was originally the royal
chair of Ireland. There is a tradition
that a descendant of the Scottish kings
sessing this chair. This stone is said
to have been taken to Spain by Cathol.
king of the Scots, but was brought
back to Ireland by Simon Brech about
700 years before Christ. The gods
themselves gave this stone to the Scot
tish people with the promise that a
scion of their race should always reign
over the land which retained possess
sion of this relic of antiquity.
Sir Walter Scott gives the following
history of this stone: Fergus, son of
Eric, probably descendant of Simon
Brech, was driven out of ireland and
landed in sos B. C. on the coast of Ar
gyllshire in Scotland, bringing the
stone with him. Later on it was
brought by King Kenneth of Scot
land to Scone castle and the Scottish
kings We're crowned on it from that
time till Edward destroyed the royal
residence and took the stone to Eng
land, where 1t has remained ever since.
There was belief in former times
that the chair gave forth musical
sounds when the rightful heir was
seated thereon, but was mute when q
usurper was crowned. This stone is
doubtless relic of meteoric origin, as
many have maintained, but is a block
of red sandstone containing an unus-'
ual amount of iron. 1t was once carved,
gilded and painted, but these decora-
tions have entirely disappeared. In
coronation ceremonies it is covered
with cloth of gold.

forage for food. either IN the branches
or among the soft, succulent plants at
the bottom. The row Of short. spoon
shaped. stubby teeth served to bite or
pull Off the tender water plants. but
the animal could not have masticatei
its food and must have swallowed It
without chewing. as it possessed no
grinders or moiars. The brain was ex-
ceedinely small as judged from the
form Of brain cast. and Indicated a low
grade Of intelligence huge, slow
moving automaton, directed solely by
instinct.
According 10 Professor Osborn, il was
principally aquatic, spending most Of
the time wading IN the shallow lagoons
with body partly immersed, but resort
ing occasionally to land for egg laying
Ior other purposes, for. presumably like
most reptiles, II laid eggs. Having no
direct evidence, however, as to the size
Of such an egg, It's probable dimensions
would have been in the neghborhood
of two feet in diameter.
The disappearance from the face Of
the earth of the great race Of dinosaurs.
about the end Of the cretaceous age,
was almost simultaneous the worldiover.
Faleontologists notably Professor Os-
born, have several explanations to pre-
sent I'm regard to this catastrophe. one
being that a large frame, having a
monster organism, with teeth fitted foe
only a certain kind OF food, would be
unable to cope with any changed geo.
logical condition which would cause the
cutting off of particular food supply
and the animal would therefore perish
in consequence.
Another ingenious and consistent the
ory of extinction is one advocated by
Professor Copt, namely, that new en-
emy, more deadly than the fiesh-eat-
ing contemporaries that preyed upon
brontosaurus, was responsible for its
extinction. This was one of the Juras-
sic mammals, about the size of the
hedgehog, which persistently sought out
the nests of the dinosaurs, gnawed
through the shells of their eggs and
destroyed the young.
The present dinosaur marks only the
first of series to be installed in the
new hall. Alongside will shortly be
mounted the complete skeleton of its
chief arch enemy, the carnivorous din
osaur, which preyed upon it's body,
fact proved by the lancelike tooth
marks and burrows found upon the
tail of another brontosaur.

Capital Of Ireland

A few years since, it will be remem-
bered, the lord mayor OF Dublin, DAN
lei Talon, visited America and was
feted and dined ON every hand. When
In Boston he was entertained at an
elaborate dinner given for him by
Mayor Quincy In the small talk
which followed the courses some one
jestingly asked If Dublin was not the
metropolis, as well as the capital, of
ireland. The lord mayor was ready
with reply.
"It used to be-" he said. "but at pres
ent there is no question that New York
has that honor"

What is Needed

Ambassador Choate was the guest at
diplomatic dinner in London when
the conversation turned to Alaska ANA
the Klondike. An English newspaper
is responsible for the following anec-
dote: An official high in state affairs
was arguing for the advantage of a
Canadian port of entry. The discus
sion became rather earnest. "Well."
said the state OFFICIAL II wouldn't be
surprised if. sooner or later the Cana
dians made it very hot for you up
there" II wish they would" was Mr.
Choates rejoinder; that's exactly
what the territory wants"

Looking from the car window the blsh-
op saw a boy. who came to him as he
beckoned. The bishop inquired the
price of the famous Banbury buns, and
learned they We're threepence each.
The bishop gave the boy sixpence, tell
ing him to bring bun to the car and
keep one for himself Just before the
train pulled out the boy returned eating
a Banbury bun~ He handed three
pence to the bishop, remarking with
perfect composure. There was only

associates, supplemented by the me-
chanical skill of Mr.. Herman.
The latter has incorporated new
system in heavy fossil building, name
ly, that of loose and free mounting,
whereby every limb, rib and piece of
vertebra can be separately adjusted on
the skeleton and taken off again.
Heretofore in casts and other speci-
mems all parts were permanently at
tached to an iron rod which extended
through the bored framework of the
form. The posing and fitting of the
massive stone bones required most
careful and exhaustive tests. New posi-
tions and corrections were made after
each inspection. A powerful scaffold-
ing, twenty-five feet high, with tackles
and steel chains, was used to lift the
ponderous limbs into position, the
thigh bone alone weighing $40 pounds.
Mr.. Herman, chief preparator, and
four trained assistants labored con-
stantly for three years, just complet-
ing their handiwork a few days prior
to the recent opening of Dinosaur hall.
The time card alone of these artisans
will figure up nearly $4,000, while these
workmen could have built in the same
interval three or four three story brick
