BIooer and Heavier Hen Fruit.

1t is thought by naturalists that the
eggs Of domestic hens Of the present
day are larger and heavier by nearly a
third than those of the hens of the
ancients. Eggs differ good deal In
weight. the average weight being about
two ounces. A good egg Is made up
Of ten parts shell, 60 parts white
and 80 parts yolk. The white of an
egg contains Sc per cent water. The
shell contains about per cent animal
matter and per cent Of the phos-
pilates Of lime and magnesia. the rest
consisting of carbonate of lime. Half
the various specimens of snakes lay
eggs. Instead Of shell the covering OF
the egg is tough. white, leathern sub
stance. The largest egg of any bird TO-
day is the ostrich egg.

cabin port holes barely above reach Of

WHERE GREAT WRITER SLEEPS
Grave of Robert Louis Stevenson in
Samoa Located Amid Scenes OF
Rare Beauty.

The Samoan islands have two
shrines-the home and grave of Rob
ert Louis Stevenson. In his search
for health, Stevenson built home on
one of the islands and called 1t Vailima
olive Waters). Here he spent the
last four years of his life.
Vailima lies far up steep noun
tain road. 1t is rambling. green
wooden house, half native style, half
an English country home. Stevenson
is said to have enjoyed contrasts OF
native and English life. 1t pleased
him to have his household appear In
evening dress at dinner and to be
waited upon by Samoan natives.
His many kindnesses toward the
natives so touched them that they were
aroused to enough energy to build a
road up the mountain to his home.
The crude but important piece of work
they called 1.-The Road Of the Loving
Heart" ut shall never be muddy. 1t
shall endure, this road that we have
dug" prophesied the natives on pre-
sentfng their gift.
The grave of Tusitala, the story
teller, lies far up the mountain beyond
Stevensons home. The trail is so diff
ficult that the services of over fifty
natives were needed to carry the cas-
ket up to it's destination. The noun
tain path leads through tropical for
est of the gorgeous flowers of Samoa.
Hibiscus. cape jasmine. orange bios
SONS fill the air with their perfume.
Many birds sing and flash through the
underbrush, for native chiefs forbid
use of any firearms on the mountain
where Tusitala lies.
On a tiny plateau at the top of the
mountain Is the tomb with the me
mortal verse that Stevenson himself
wrote carved on the stone. Far away
from even the quiet life Of the native
settlements Stevenson's grave is the
most peaceful place In an Island Of
peace.-"Niksah" In Chicago News.

The seaman, who was standing with
followed hands shading his eyes. star
ing forth into the swirling drapery Of
fog, turned at my call and pointed ex-
citedly.
There's bark aground yonder. sir !;
and it looks like the Namur!"
Even as I crossed the deck to his
side the wreaths of obscuring mist
seemed to divide, as though swept
apart by some mighty hand, and there
in the full glow of the sun, a picture
in a frame, lay the wrecked vessel.
Others saw it as did, and gave vent
to recognition.

encircled her throat, and there were
numerous rings upon her fingers. The

mot love, Geoffry. Love would
never do this thing. 1t Is hate, the
gloatlng Of revenge; there can be no
other answer-this Is the end Of a
tragedy"
There was nothing, not a scrap of
paper, not even the semblance OF a
wound exposed. The smile on those
parted lips had become one of mock
cry; could bear the sight no longer,
and rose to my feet clasping Dorothy
close to me, as she still gazed down in
fascination at the CHASTITY sight.
