An Innenious Machine.

OF the many ingenious and interest
ing machines employed by our gov
eminent In its daily work perhaps
none Is more striking than those used
for counting and tying postal cards
into small bundles. These machines
are capable of counting 100000 cards
in ten hours and of wrapping and ty-
ing them in packages of twenty five
each. The paper is pulled of Il drum
by two long fingers which emerge
from below, and another finger dips
itself into IA vat of mucilage and ap-
plies itself to the wrapping paper IL,
precisely the right spot Other parts
OF the machine Irvine the paper round
the pack of cards. and then "a thumb
presses over the spot where the mu-
cilage has been applied, whereupon
the package is thrown on carrying
belt ready for delivery. - Harper

ostrich's egg would have appeared
small beside that extinct Madagascar
bird, the epyornis, which measured
more than thirty inches in its small

eggs are those Of the minute species Of
humming birds. which are smaller
than the eggs OF certain kinds of trop-
zeal 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
err than itself doubtless accounts for
this. The relatively largest egg is laid
by the kiwi a strange, wingless New

five inches long, although the extreme
length of the bird itself is only TWEEN

was most common for writers to use
the nom de plume, as it has come to
be called. "Artemus Ward" 'Philan-
