LARGEST or ALL EGGS

An egg or the gigantic extinct bird
aepyornis. OF South Madagascar. is on
exhibition at the Museum OF Natural
History in New York.
The aepyornis egg, has a capacity
OF two gallons, or 100 times that OF a
hens egg The shell is one-eighth
inch thick. Lengthwise II is 32 inches
In circumference and 1t measures 20
inches around the middle. Though

have turned into fine dust which
comes out. wnen handled through a
Emall natural perforation on one side.
The aepyornis. like the moa OF New
Zealand, was exterminated by the
hand of man. A few centuries ago II
was quite abundant Several incom-
plete fossil remains have been discov-
cred. but no complete skeleton has
ever yet been found. These show the
bird was three-toed, OF massive pro-
portions and short winged. The
Madagascar natives have for many
years used the great egg shell for
various household purposes. In fact.
the first knowledge OF these eggs be-
came known when some Madagascar
natives came TO the Mauritius to buy
rum. bringing the aepyornis eggs with
them to hold the liquor.
Only three or four of these huge
eggs have been brought into civiliza-
tion. The present one is the most per-
feet as well as the largest known.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-05-31

When the tubes were taken to the
cooler upper air and the temperature
of the gas was lowered to that Of the
air, a surprising amount Of water was
condensed in the tubes, this being on
of the scientifically startling things
about the experiments.
Professor Day, as an odtcome of the
experiments, advances a theory that
the composition of the gas is such
that it generates its own heat, which
heat boils the same lava over and
over. This leads to the further theory
that Kilauea is isolated, the lava
column being in no wise connected
with or dependent upon any otheI
volcano.
