Chicken eggs tire too vaitiu--ble as food; Therefore the Htbritk s islands of Scotland, Lodvf; den of Norway, Labrador, Greenland, fecuth America, and in fact- every conceivable breeding ground of wild birds is robbed of eggs by natives or ’men from extensive sailing expeditions. This is especially hard on the ducks of various kinds, particularly in Labrador; where th?y breed in thousands of nests to the square mile, while the scavenger-birds of the.sea, the various gulls and terns, suffer from these depredations.

Undoubtedly the determination us rhe party's attitude on the financial question, as bad down by conventi'on piatfi'rm. will have much to do with the choice or a candidate lor governor. Hereabouts the feeling is-pretty well established that the convention of June 24 will declare for the free coinage of silver. Gold- standard Democrats agree that that element in the party serins now to have a majority m the state and credit it with favoring a stronger organization than its opjxiirnntts. This feeling is credited with constant growth, ami it is even said . that there may possibly be no contest on this question, the right to make whatever declaration is desirable being conceded to.the silver wing. On the outcome of this matter will of course depend in large degree the choice of a candidate for governor. The silver • folks are said to have a strong leaning toward ex-Congressman Shively, and. some organization has commenced in his behalf. , Then there* is Gilbert Shanklin of-jyymisville. who is decidedly pronounced i r silver. He has said that he wants to work tor the cause as a piivate, but it is not impossible that he might be drafted. Lieutenant Governor Nye, although ha ving declared that he did' not de:-irea nomination, is talked of.’two.

When the act of is-,’, was left as the - citiy one stamiaig by the supit me court, the Democrats proposed to the Republicans that if tliey made no attack on that law no question would bi- raised as to thb validity of the 2o hold-over senators; 1!) of whom are Republicans. But the Republicans did attack and the supreme court sustained the law on another point than its constitutionality. It i's claimed that these incidents relieve th.e Democratic committee of its pledge, and that at its early meeting fin- matter will be considered in its various phases.

The longest distance that a shot has been fired is a few yards over 15 miles, wJiich was the range of Krupp's well known “monster” 130 ton steel gun, firing a shot weighing 2,600 pounds. The 111 ton Armstrong gun has an extreme range ot 14 miles, firing a shot weighing 1,800 pounds . and requiring 960' pounds of powder. These guns, however, proved too expensive, being unable to .stand firing 100 times, and their manufacture has practically been abandoned. The 22 ton Armstrong gun hurls ■ a so! -d shot for a <nstatice of 12 miles, mid the "discharge of the gun cannot be heard at the placi when Ute ball strikes. From 12 to 13 miles is the'computed Ttinge of the most powerful guns -now made, anti to oblttin th: i Tange an elevation of nearly 45 dfi;recs,js foutid to be iu c-s-'.ii-y.
