Shell Forming.

A remarkable experiment in con-
nection with the shell-forming mech
anism of the hen is described in a
recent issue of Science. A surgi-
cal operation was performed upon a
hen by which the feces or excrement
were made to pass through the canal
where the egg ordinarily receives its
shell coating. In this instance the
fecal matter or manure as soon as IT
reached the proper place was coated
with shell and then passed from
the hen, showing that the shell-mak-
ing operation is independent of the
rest of the egg-producing process

RELATION OF BODY AND MIND.
Assertion Made That No Healthy Pc,
 son is Wholly Sad.

The close relation of body and mind in the matter of physical health. oi which so much is said by various re
 iigfous and semi-religious organiza tions and by a class of professional ''healers." Is considered from a fresh point of view by an English clergy man. His argument is that no pc-
 son who Is healthy can be wholly bad The clergyman further expressed the conviction that there is a close con nection between health and morals. and that the man who has reached middle age in a sound bodily condition thereby proves that he has led a de cent life. In support of his position he advanced the assertion that a large proportion of the convjcts in English prison are physical degener- ates. From this it would seem that he does not confine his designation Of badness" to the vices involved in ib temperance and other forms of sensual dissipation, but. since convicts are guilty of many things apart from these. as theft. burglary. forgery and the like, holds that they are led to the perpetration of even this class oi crimes by a defective bodily state.

The thought embodied in this badge seemed to be one of the most, if not the most deeply touching one of the convention in a personal way.

It's delicate size and coloring made it one of the most sought after badges of the convention, it being par ticularly desirable as decoration for a lady's waist.
 Altogether, there was a quiet thoughtfulness and refinement, as well as effectiveness otherwise, about the work of the Elks in presenting the territory at the convention to the people of the whole United States that made Arizona the most conspicuous feature of the convention, geographf- caIly, and that will do much to cor still fingers in the Eastern states"
