The Happy Corner baseball club
opens its schedule at Island City park
tomorrow afternoon when it meets the
Moline West Ends. The locals ex-
pect to win handily, though Manager
George Huber intends to use all his
men in an effort TO weed out those
who are not fast enough to stick with
the team. The aggregation is to be
made the fastest one in these parts if
possible to requit the city for the
temporary absence of professional
ball. A week from tomorrow the
team PLAYS the famous Boston Bloom
er Girls at Island City park, this
game promising to be the feature at
traction of the year at the local
grounds. A Grandt, a new twirler
from Kewanee, will have his try
out tomorrow afternoon and Spiller,
the southpaw, will be held in reserve.
Hugo Wilson. brother of Christy, the
former Islander star, will do the
backstopping this year for the team.
The aggregation looks very good.

and so pleased and impressed was Director
BalIin that before an hour had passed he
bought the ship. Etntsraad Andersen de-
clared it was not their intention when they
arrived to Sc. the ship, as she was fpll of
cargo and on her way TO the East; but Mr..
Ballin's offer was a most fattering one for
the ships owners and builders and the sale
of it was a sign of the friendship aud good
will between the Danish and German Steam
ship Companies.
Next day Emperor Wilhelm went on board
with his whole suite including the German
Admiral Won Iirpjtz, head of the German
Navy, the Engineer Won Kong and many
others; the Emperor inspected the ship in all
its details and expressed his high apprecia-
ton of the work; His Majesty then presented
Mr.. Andersen and Admiral Richelieu with
his picture, and decorated Mr. Knudaen with
the Order of the Red EAGLE.
MIR. Ballin ordered from the builders Bur-
meister & VAIN 2 Diesel moor ships Of
somewhat larger size. The "Flonia" has

THE SUPPLY OF BAY OIL.

In the Senfi-AnnudL Report OF Messrs.
Schlmmel x Co, dated April 1912, the com
plant regarding the scarcity of bay oil that
has been-made for several years is repeated,
and 1t Is stated that the small arrivals which,
have come to hand from time to time at
Havre, Marseilles and Hamburg have been
readily taken up. 1t is stated further SOC
caslonally the supplies consisted Of oil which,
had been adulterated almost out of recou-
milton, and scarcely deserved the name Of
bay oil.
1t IS considered that the present condition
OF the market is Likely to continue for some
time, because the most recent adyices show
that producers IN the West Indies have
again begun to complain Of the difficulty Of
procuring leayes in sufficient quantity. Ia
any case, Messrs. SchImmel & Co. will be
prevented from resumin3 d~istilling opera
tons; further, according to their report,
none OF the parcels Of West Indian BAY oil
that have come into their possession APP
proach even Instantly in quality their own
distillate.
In consequence of these circumstances
the plan will be to exercise the greatest pos
sIble care IL selection from among the avail
able supplies of oil, and the result of this
will be to continue the upward tendency of
prices.
Il is satisfactory that, in spite Of the large
increases of price that have been made,
Schlmmels terpeneless bay oil continues to
be III strong demand-a fact which indicates
that the prices asked for this product are
justified by its excellence. Ibid.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMBRYO
CHICK.

Twelve hours after incubation has begun,
the li8ameuts Of he head and body are dis
covered. Close observation has found the
heart to beat by the close Of the day. At
the end of forty-eight hours two vesicies of
blood are distinguished, the pulsation of
which are visible. At the tittieth hour, an
auricIe Of the heart appears. AT the end of
seventy hours, the outlines of wings, ana on
the head two bubbles fer the brain, one for
the bill, and two others for the forepart and
the hind part eff the head appear. The liver
appears toward tho fifth day. At the end
Of one hundred and thin ty-six hours, the
first voluntary motion is observed. Seven
hours later the lungs and stomach become
visible, and the intestines, the loins and the
upper jaw are seen at the end of one hun
dred and forty-eight hours The seventh
day, the brain, which is Shiny, begins to
have some cOnsISteuce.
At the one hundred and n~inetieth hour Of
incubation the bill opens and the flesh ap-
pears on the breast. -Four hours alter that
the sternum, that is to say the breast bone,
is seen. At the two hundred and tenth
hour, the ribs come out Of the back, the bill
is visible, as well us the gall-bladder. The
bill becomes green at the end of two INN
bred and thirty six hours. About four
hours later the feathers begin to shoot ont
and the skull becomes gristiy. The ewes an.
pear at the two hundred and sixty-fourth
hour; and at the two hundred and eighty
eighth hour the ribs are perfect. At the three
hundred and thirty-first hour the spleen
draws near to the stomach, and the LUNGS
and the chest. At the end of three hun-
dred and %ffty-fve hours, the bill frequently
opens and shuts, and at the end Of four
hundred and %ffty-one hours, or the eigh-
toenth day, the first cry of the chick is
heard. In the Bulletin of the Bureau of
