Birds, Euas.

Ostriches lay the largest eggs of all birds now extant, according to a writ CT in the Scientific American, but the ostrich's egg would have appeared small beside that extinct Madagascar bird, the epyornis, which measured more than thirty inches in it's small est circumference. The smallest birds eggs are those of the minute species of humming birds, which are smaller than the eggs of certain kinds of trop- ical beetles But the cuckoo lays the relatively smallest egg-that is to say, while the jackdaw and the cuckoo are about equal in size, the formers egg is five or six times larger than the lat ter's. The fact that the cuckoo is wont to deposit its eggs in the nests of birds which are usually much small CT than itself doubtless accounts for this. The relatively largest egg is laid by the kiwi. a strange, wingless New Zealand bird. The egg is no less than five inches long, although the extreme length of the bird itself is only twen- ty-seven inches.

HOW THE RESCUE MISSION RECLAIMS
 DOWN AND OUTS
Man Who Planned to Break
 Into House Gives up Jimmy
Converted Violin Player Won't
 Fiddle For Saloons Anymore

Rev. John Callahan, superintendent of the well known Hadley Rescue Mis- sion in New York city. will be the speaker at the annual meeting of the Bridgeport Christian Union which is to be held in the First Methodist church on Tuesday evening, June 2S at 7:45, and which will be open to the public.
 Of fully as much, or more interest, to the people of this city who believe in extending a helping hand to the men who are down and almost out, will be the annual report of Rev. Chas. w. Simpson, the superintendent of the union who has been doing some re- markable work among the men of the red light district during the past few months.
 MT. Simpson will tell about the man who had planned to break into a house in this city, but who changed his mind after attending a meeting at the mis- sion and voluntarily gave up the jimmy" with which he expected to make his entrance. Also about the converted violin player who refused attractive offers from saloon keepers and preferred to play in the mission, and about large number of other cases which warm ones heart to hear about. There will be special music and the program as a whole promises to be interesting and helpful
 The Bridgeport Christian Union was organized by a committee appointed by the Bridgeport Pastors Association to establish an interdenominational or sanization to do rescue ard relief work On behalf of the churches as a whole. An important part of the work was to be the establishing of a we'll organ ized rescue mission, the finances and direction of which are to be in the hands of responsible men. The Christ ian Union which was organized as a result of this effort is in the hands of board of 25 directors who are re- sponsible business and professional men of the city.
 They have rented the old Belmont Hotel building in Bank street at $900 year, repaired and furnished 1t at an expense of about $1. 1.60O, engaged a capable superintendent and are now and individuals to cover the expenses of the first year.
 They take the man who is up against 1t hard and wants to brace up, into their building. give him bath, a clean night shirt to wear while his clean bed in their First Aid Dormi- tory'', for which he is expected to pay 15 cents in money or work. In the morning he is given meal ticket and encouraged to work out his obligation in the wood yard. If he makes good there, they help him to get a better job and eventually permanent posi- ton. In the interval he is promoted to one of the rooms on the "Convales- sent Ward on the second floor of the building, where he stays until they feel he will be all right outside. There is a helpful religious meeting every night and twice on Sunday. and other lines of service are to be added as rapidly as possible.
 The people of this city who believe in this kind of work are urged to show their interest by attending this meet ing and giving the directors and the superintendent the assurance of their cordial approval

BAND CONCERT ATTRACTS
 THOUSANDS TO SEASIDE

Greatly pleased was the large crowd at Seaside park last night with the excellent music furnished by the Coast Artillery Corps band at their second public band concert of the season. The instrumental selections were just the same as those given last week at Washington park, bur as the police maintained better order last night keeping the noisy element in control the music was much more enjoyed. A new feature last night made a decided hit, it being the sing ing of a number of popular songs by a quartet composed of MeSsrS. T. J. Penfold, Gustave Wicklie, Ira Rauth and S. MacCollom. The selections they sang were Gall Me Up Some Rainy Afternoon" "Oh, What I'd Do For a Girl Like You" and "Ogalalla." Leader Paul Goulding is receiving many warm words of praise for the high standing to which he has brought this band. The band wore their new uniforms last night for the first time in public

SENATOR BURTON MAY CRATE INTO
 NIGHT SESSION
OhiOan Has in Mind Long Speech to Kill the Bill Thct Would Create Mountain Forest
 Reserves
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, June 23.-When Sem ator Burton of Ohio arose in the Senate today to make a few "re- marks on the Dill to create noun tain forest reserves he had in mind a speech of the last few days. The cnly question is whether his prowess would be equal to the strain or whether the Senate might decide up- on a night session. In the latter contingency it would be one very long speech instead of two speeches cover ing as many sessions.
 The Senator's oratorical operations gave full notice that he did not like the bill; also that ne hoped the threatened consumption of so much time in this heated spell, when ah Ccn@ressmen are panttng to go homo, would induce them to lay the bill over until next winter.
 On the other hand, Representative Weeks of Massachusetts has issued an ultinnatum that Congress shall not adjourn until it has passed the bill. So with Weeks filibustering to force Congress to pass his bill and Burton flibustering to prevent it, the states men faced a peculiar problem.
 The bill proposes that the govern ment shall cooperate with states and private land owners in maintaining TSS0IFcS dL lIl0 IlSdQWdt0TS Ol the rivers in the southern Appalachian end the White Mountains. Its ap- plication to other parts of the couIi- try Is possible but the two projects are the only ones now in view. They have been pressed by powerful in fuences for years. Bills to carry out the plan have been passed by the Senate three times and once by the House but the two branches never acted in the same Congress. McKin- ley, Roosevelt and Taft recommended the passage of the bills.
 The argument in favor of the en- terprise is that it will conserve the timber, protect the water sheds of individual streams and prevent the destruction of agricultural lands by floods resulting from denuded water sheds. The bill appropriates s200, 900 to enable the department of agricul- ture to cooperate with states or pri- vate owners of forested watersheds and protect the forests from fire. He also may enter into agreements to administer private forest lands.
 It is further provided that there shall be appropriated $1,000,000 next 1916 for the purchase by the govern ment of lands situated at the head waters Of navigable streams or those which may be made navigab1e. These are to be subjected to the approval of a committee of two Senators and two Representatives. The secretary of agriculture is given authority to divide the lands into national forests
 An appropriation of $25,G0O Il year is made to pay the expenses of the commission.
