has been discovered in South Africa
and is now held under guard in a
London clearinghouse. 1t is about
twice the size of the largest egg the
biggest hen ever laid, and is esti-
mated to be worth 100000. To

THE IDEAL BRoILER.-A new kind
of frying-pan, or probably it had
better be called Buckingham, has
been announced. 1t is similar to the
ordinary frying-pan, only the center
is raised in form of cone, sloping
to the rim, which forms a trough for
the juices Of the meat, and this con-
meets with a hollow handle, where it
may be tilted and retained until the
cooking is completed and it is emp
tied with the meat or into q gravy

broiling process and improves the

IT is reported in some Of the State
papers that the Olympia oyster
growth was entirely destroyed by
a few hours of cold weather, at low
tide, this winter. There is no truth
in the statement of total destruction,

are still enough beds to supply the
trade, and others coming into per-
lection by steady growth. There is
no fear that the Olympia Oyster"
will either lose its name or high favor
in the market.

THERE are four eclipses this year,
two of the Sun and two of the Moon.
One of these, total eclipse of the
Sun happened on Jan. 1914, but as
it was invisible in America, it is
hardly worthy of mention. Its line
of totality passed over Asia. 1t was
partially visible in eastern Europe
and the eastern extremity of Africa,
Japan and north of the Philippines.
A partial eclipse of the Moon took
place on Jan. 20, partially visible in
this country. East of the Rocky
Mountains that luminary sat with
the eclipse on it, and on this coast
the entire eclipse would have been
visible had weather conditions per-
mitted. An annular eclipse of the
Sun will take place July 10th, in
visible in North America, but will
be seen over the whole of South
America and a portion of the south
western coast of Africa weather
permitting.) A partial eclipse of
the Moon, July 24-25th, will be WIS.,

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Unusual interest attached to the
cred 10 Congress yesterday afternoon.
After cOngratulating the country upon
its immense resources and the vast
volume of its current business, the
president moralizes at some length on
the necessity for upright conduct and
fair dealing on the part of those i'm
mense corporations which have come
to control so much Of the business. He
justifies the recent legislation in re-
straint of abuses and promises a con-
tinuance Of that policy. He asks for
additional legislation along this line
made more effective.
While not pressing any special plan
he advises additional legislation upon
the currency system Of the country
with a view to making the volume of
money more elastic and to prevent any
sudden stOppage of the wheels Of bus
mess. He admits that no legislation
can successfully counteract the effects
Of private folly and bad judgment but
asks that Congress undertake TO devise
some cautionary law.
He adheres to the protective tariff
principle. but suggests moderate
amount of revision and reduction
where the pinch is worst He insists
that income and inheritance taxes
should be made a part of the federal
system. He suggests an employers
liability law for the benefit of work.
men.
In labor matters the president COM
mends the eigtt-hOur day 10 favora-
bic attention and urges the enactment
Of law for the compulsory investiga-
ton and adjustment of labor disputes
between employers and their en-
employees. He favors the improvement
of inland waterways and the reclama-
ton Of lands by irrigation and DRAIN
age. Work on the Panama canal is
proceeding satisfactorily. The presi-
dent recommends the establishment of
postal savings banks, and suggests a
consideration Of the parcels post but
without recommendation. He urges
the passage Of ship subsidy.
Altogether the message is a very able
document. presented in simple English

has characterized earlier documents

and recommendations surprisingly in
accord with public sentiment-Tampa
