A Slippery Plac * for Casloslat * .
Iloretofore the average geologist liae
'wen a man who drinks jjp timo like a
• iver and liastoneth not , out now there
ire some indications of a reform
n respect to this lavish 'uso of
time. Prof. Pretwick , in the second
volume of his geology just issued from
the Oxford university press , says that
tho calculations on which the Glacial
epoch was put back 240,000 3'ears are
-cry defective , as they are based on tho
uto at which the puny glaciers of tho
ilpa J move. But , basing his calculation
on tho rate at which the Greenland
glaciers move , he thinks that the time
occupied by the great American iceslido j
need not havo been more than from 15 , -
J00 to 25,000 years. And , by means of
similar ' observations and calculations , he I
'hints tho time for the formation of the
valleys , which followed , to 8,000 or 10 , -
W0 vents. 1 'ence the beginning of the
31acial period may not have been more
1 ' J.000 years ago instead of 240,000 ,
ud i no close of the period not more
than 10,000 years. This makes an imI I
inenso shrinkage in the antiquity which
some of tho geolists have claimed for i
he human race. The defect in all these
calculations is that it is not known how
fast tho ice moved in glacial times. It
is a slippery place for the geologists.

A Tooth Worth a million Itupnea.
A charming road of seventy-four
miles carries the traveler to Kaudy , the
ancient Singaleso capital of tho country.
This is a picturesque place , with some
beautiful views , a residence of the govtj
crnor and a Buddhist temple , where , in
a wouderfnl rich shrine , one of Gautl
tama's teeth is kept. This is one of the
treasures of tho "Light of Asia , " for
uhich , it is said , tho king of Siam of-
fared 1,000,000 not long since , but in
' - ain. The priests having it in their
are are said to l.e among the most in-
* Uigent and learned of tho Eastern
craft , and possess much Buddhistic lore
of great antiquity and value. One of
the attendants informed mo with much
pride that Edwin Arnold worshiped at
the shrine when last in Ceylon. I canal
not say that Edwin is a Bddhist , but his
writings : show him quite as deeply imtl
! 'I ued with reverence for Gantama as for
lini we of the "West call tho Lord. One
cannot . talk with tho intelligent people
at { this temple without being impressed
with tho fact that their creed rests with
them upon enlightened faith and not
upon 1 blind suj > erstition. The priests ,
too , wear an expression of calm dignity ,
utterly at varience with bigotry and
fanaticism.
Irrigation.
Nothing is more certain than that ultifr
niately the waters of the Bocky mounw
tains will be utilized t6 the extent of
their capacity in irrigating and enricha
Isnt tho arid country tributary to them.
It is a work of great magnitude and of
national importance. If the late move-
inent in this direction is allowed to
droop and _ die for the want of sustained
pressure , it will be revived and carried
to a success in a future of greater enterSj
prise and energy , when the east and
south shall be better able to compretl
hend the extent and resources of the
llfs When a system of irrigation is
devised that shall be comprehensive
enough to embrace all rights in the
streams , its control and direction will of
necessity absorb or blot out existing
claims to property of this nature. There
will be no more squabbles with individp
uals or corporations as to the price of
water or the right to use it. This
change will be wrought in the public
interest and by a proper indemnification
of parties now holding claims on the use
of water , which claims rest on a tempo-
rary and precarious basis an outgrowth
of pioneer days and primitive times pe-
culiar to the settlement of new coun1
tries. Bock } ' Mountain News.
Anotlior UiuIUcovered Germ.
The reports which came , not many
months ago , from Mexico and Brazil ,
stating that the yellow fever germ had
been discovered' cultivated and that
inoculation with it prevented the dis-
ease , have been investigated for the
United : States government by Dr.
George M. Sternberg , a physician and
biologist of great experience. He has
become convinced that the yellow fever
microbe nas not yet been found , and
that the inoculations made have realty .
increased the effects of tho disease in-
stead of lessening them. His researchwi
es have been made under somewhat unpi
fovorable conditions , however , and furto
ther experiments will be made.
An Impractlcuble Project.
An engineering writer illustrates by a
rough calculation the of
expense re- -
moving snow from streets by melting
with artificial heat. Steam at212de-
grees is the most effective agent for ap- *
plying the heat , and ono pound of this
would convert into ice cold water a lit- *
tie over eight pounds of snow. OrdiP
narily this pound of steam would be prom
duced by about one-seventh of a pound
fuel , and at least thirty-five pounds
coal would be required for melting
one ton of snow. Allowing 1G0 cubic
feet of snow to the ton , 233 pounds of
coal would have to be burned to melt a
draft twent3'-five feet long by ten feet
wide and four feet in average depth. e
When to this is added the waste of steam , _
the difficulty of bringing the steam to j
the snow , and the fact that the water
produced is liable to freeze at once into
sUppery mass if the weather be cold , y
must be admitted that artificial meltot
ing is not a very promising means of m
dealing with snow drifts. w

$ f,200 FOR AN ECC.
st Was an EgK of tho Croat Auk ,
Whloh has Comoto boa Very
Raro Dird.
Tho highest price over paid for ftn
eg z , so far as known , since the world
began , was that received at an aucm
tion sale of the effects oi a Mrs. Wise
lield in London tho other day. A sin-
pie j I eug was there offered , and , after an
exciting struggle between a number
of ornithologists , it was struck off at
$1,200. ] It was an ea ? of tho great
r.u' . * , a bird new supposed to be ex >
tinct , but quite plentiful within the
memory of the older whalers who fre"
.
qiunted tho north Atlantic in their
b'jyhood dnyj. It is five years since
ai egg of this bird changed hands , and
then , it was sold by the British ColW
lege , of Surgeons for $700 , while in
1S00 Lord Garvagh at an auction
ste ) ! in London paid $300 for a single
eii . Previous to that the prices oby
taincd for this sort of egns dwindled
down by easy gradations to 4s. 6d. ,
at _ which price one was sold in 1830
in Paris , although the bird itself was
then , to be found about the islands o *
.
the ] North Atlantic.
There is a mounted skin of the auk
jn the American Museum of Natural
History , in this city that waspurchas-
? ' .l ' in London in 18G9 for $625. It
is one of eighty skins known to be in
existence in the world. There are also
ten complete skeletons , besides nu
merous parts of skeletons and several
mummies.
The form of the auk is familiar to
al who have read illustrated accounts
of early voyaces to Greenland. It was
the : penguin of the north Atlantic. It
had \ a squatty , goose-shaped body ,
and was from 28 to 30 inches long on
the . average. It had wings , however ,
that were only between five and six
inches long , and it was therefore in-
capable of flight. It is pictured in the
old sea stories as sitting up solemn
and dignified in ranks , along the sand
and on the bleakest and most barren
coasts : as the sailors approached the
land ] in boats. It was not ea3ily
frightened by tho approach of man ,
who was apparently its sole enemy.
When disturbed it waddled away
about | as fast as a man could walk ,
taking very short steps but taking
them j rapidly. On account of its gait.
it . was called the wobble in some of
the . early books , such as the work
of , John Josselyn , Gent. , on "New En-
glaud Rarities , " printed in 1672. Not
that the bird was a rarity then ; on
the contrary , it was seen in great
numbers as far south on the New
England coast as the yachting centre
oi the United States Boston.
At that time and for a hundred
years hiter it was the custom of marry
of ( the fishermen frequenting the Banks
0j Newfoundland , particularly the
French to victual their vessels with
the flesh of the auk , killing and salting
down as many as would last lor the
entire ; . cruise. Their method ot taking
, the ; birds wan the simplest possible ,
The ship's boats were rowed intoa
some quiet cove frequented by the
nuks , and moored a few feet from the
land. 1 Then planks were laid from the
beach or the rocks to the gunwales of
the : boats , and the auks were driven
on board in single file until the boats
were . loaded. A. man with a club
knocked them on the head as they
reached the boat , and dumped them
under the thwarts. The auk seldom
offered resistance , but occasionally it
would ( snap at a man with its stout
bill , and would inflict very painful
wounds. In such cases , the old ac
counts say , the sailors skinned the
bird alive out of revenge.
When driving the birds on the boats
it was necessary to station a man
with a club on each side of the gang8r
plank to keep them from dropping inal
to the water. Once afloat the awkCc
ward waddle became the swiftest and
most graceful of motions. No other .
water fowl could approach the wonia
derful speed of the auk on the water ;
indeed , it could swim as rapidly as
some of the more lumbering birds can "
fly.
Although on account of its fishy
food it was somewhat oily when in
good condition , it was nevertheless so
much esteemed by the sailors that its
numbers diminished continuosly from
the time the Banks of Newfoundland
began to be much frequented , so that
bj the beginning of the nineteenth
century itwas no longer hunted for
food. So few were to be had that n
they were not worth the time requirpi
ed to take them. However , in the
year 1807 a British privateer varied fe
its , occupations of pursuing French
merchant vessels and impressing
Yankee ' sailors by going to the islands
off Iceland for a supply of fresh auk (
meat. Great numbers of the birds
were < killed , many being left dead that
could not be removed because the
ship had all she could use. Three
years later the people of the Faroe dc
Islands , being threatened by starva
tion < on account of a failure in the
fisheriesvisited Iceland , and about
completed the destruction begun by
the privateer.
That > the auk never recovered from
gr
these blows even on the coasts best
fitted for its maintenance was due to or
the fact that the auk laid but one egg wl
year. It made no nest , but deposPE
ited the egg on the bare rock. It was °
astonishingly large egg averaging "
nearly five by three inches in length ed
and diameter. It was shaped much
like a big California pear , being -
very small at one end , a peculiar'J
of all birds' eggs that are "
laid in exposed places as this
was. , Being small at one end , it would , of
when _ the wind moved it , simply roll nt
around in the arc of a very small m
circle. It was of a creamy white color , en
irregularly marked with brown and se
black , patches. The egg that brought nt
such a fabulous price at the recent e
sale in London was transferred by a P'
dealer in such things in 1851 for $90 ing
the father of the lady who justsold wl
- 8 °
Although the auk is supposed to be ne
extinct , there is a possibility that ana
other , perhaps several , may yet be ne
discovered. Fishermen visit every
year about every foot of the territory ac
once inhabited , and yet those
coasts are so bleak and hospitable
that one can easily suppose that the
fishermen might overlook a bird for
which they were not searching. When m'
fisherman ceased to persecute t > e ors
that is , when it became rare in
naturalists stepped in to completeoc
exterminate it. The
last auks seen mi
about which there is no dispute were is
, killed on the coast of Iceland in and
1S44 , but a young one has been relik
ported to have been picked up dead dc
the coast of Labrador
. in 1870. w *

! would make a very handsome addf *
tion to the faro of any fisherman ,
particularly if accompanied by au
egg.
There is ono other sea bird suppoa-
ed to be extinct that may possibly be
found along tho northern coast of
America by some lucky fisherman al *
most any day in cold weather. Jc Is
tho pied or Labrador duck , a descripit
tion ; . of which was x > ublished by R. W.
Shufeldt last August. A pair ot skins
of | these ducks brought $200 at the
last transfer made in London , and it
is altogether likely that a single , well-
preserved specimen would bring as
much as that now at auction. It is
reasonably certain that specimens of
this duck have been killed within ten
years < , but the last recorded specimen
was shot in Halifax harbor in 1852.
The specimens from which Audubon
says , "killed them himself on the
Vineyard Islands , on the coast of
Massachusetts. "
The duck was an unusually large
one. It was twenty inches long to
the end of its tail , and weighed nearly
two pounds. The duck could be easi-
\y \ recognized by its head , which , with
the upper half of its neck was white ,
except a long dash of black diretly on
top of the head. Below the white
part of the neck wa3 a black collar
running clear round the neck , and be
low 1 that a white ring again which
reached almost around the neck , and
below that a broad white ling again
which reached almost around the
neck < , but not quite , the black feathtl
ers extending down the duck's back
from the black ring around the neck.
The primaries were black , bub the up-
per ' wing coverts were white.

Wills That are Not Wills.
Chicago Times.
The litigation over Mr. Tilden's will
ought to be a lesson to wsalthy men
to be their own executors. If he could
not ' control the disposition of his own
property after death , who can ? He
was noted for his ability and shrewd
ness as a lawyer. Ho had ample time ,
and the best legal talent of the counm
try at his command. His will was
drawn . with care , for it was an elabor
ate document , which was intended to
control the disposal of millions. He
sired to found a great public charity.
But it seems that there is a great
probability that his intention will
fail because of some obscure technical
ity , of the law. The court of appeals
has < decided that a "valid trust clause
of j a will must be so specific in its
beneficiary can come into court and
demand . its enforcement. " Mr. Til-
den devised about $5,000,000 for a li
brary and educational institution ,
but also directed that the trustees
might if they deem it expedient , apply
this money to such charitable , educa
tional and scientific purposes as in
their judgment would most widely
benefit . . mankind. This clause opens
the door of doubt. The wide discre
tion given to the trustees makes it
! questionable ? ' whether their trust can
be enforced. No man can by law be
compelled to do that which is discre
tionary with him. If the trust clause
fails the property will go to the htirs
and the city of New York lose the
benefit of this great bequest. The
-
Herald says that there is reason to
fear . that subsequent rulings will con
firm the fears that are entertained.
It seems to be difficult for a man of
wealth to realize that there is no
scheme possibla by which he can re
tain alter death a hold upon his
property. Efforts to do so usually
result ; in litigation. He who desires
to establish a great charity should
commence the work during his life-
time , as hundreds of cases like that
of Mr. Tilden have shown.

An Egg of the Great Auk
Pnll . Mall Gazette.
Recently another egg of the extinct
great auk ( alca impennis ) turned up
al a sale at Stevens's rooms in the
collection of a Mrs. Wise , whose hus
band bought it in 1851 of Mr. Will
iams , a dealer in Oxford street , for
18 1 , it having been imported from
Paris. . This specimen , which was a
very fine and perfect one , was put up
al 100 guineas , and after a brisk com
petition was knocked down to Mr.
J. Gardner , the well known natural
ist , for 22 , the highest price ever
paid. It is said to be bought for
America. : This shows a gradual in
crease in the price of these rare eggs
of which there are sixty-six known
specimens , forty-three of them being
in England and Ireland as will be
noticed by the following dates and
prices at these rooms : In 1865 four
fetched about 30 each ; in 1876 one
fetched : about 64 ; in 1880 two fetch-
ed about 105 and 107 each ; in De-
cember,1887one fetched 168 Tempus
edax rerum ! If any ofthesespeeimens
or why not the dodos ? ) having
escaped the perils of fire and water
should again be sold in 1988 , what
will they bring ? Will it be thousands ,
oi , like the tulips a century ago , be
down to " "
again "pence ?
Hints to Employes.
From the Scientific American. ;
There is only one spirit that achieves j
great success. The man who seeks
only how to make himself useful ,
whose aim is to render himself indis-
pensible to his employer whose whole
being is animated with the purpose to
' the largest place in the walk assign
to him , has in the exhibition of
that ? spirit the guaranty of success.
He commands the situation , and shall
walk in the light of prosperity all the
days. On the other hand , the man
who accepts the unwholesome advice
* the demagogue , and seeks only how
little he may do , and how easy he
may render his place and not lose his
employment altogether , is unfit for
service. As soon as there is a super
numerary on the list , he becomes dis
engaged at least valuable to his em *
ployer. The man who is afraid of do
too much is near of kin to him
who seeks to do nothing , and was be
got in the same family. They are
neither of them in the remotest degree
relation to the man whose willing
ness to do everything possible to his
touch places him at the head of the
active list.
