THIS HEN LAYS FLAT EGGS.

II in the days of Columbus all
the eggs had been like those laid
by one of six black Mnorcas owned
by Hugh J. Lettimore OF II Clinton
street. Newtown. \. j.. the greatest
discoverer would never have been
able to do that famous egg trick
And the reason is that one of Let
timores six Minorcas lays an egg
that is perfectly flat at one end
and may easily be set upright. Ex-
cept for this the egg IS like any
other bit of hen fruit
But which one of the sextet con
tributes the flat-ended egg is mys-
terry. The first egg was found a
week ago. Lettimore. who says no
one has access to the coop. except
himself, has watched very closely TO
see which of the hens produces the
freak. but his vigil S in vain. Even
using a trap nest has failed. as the
hen makes her nest after the man
ner of the ostrich. The freak is
attracting much attention from the
poultrymen of Newtown.-New York
World.
