A few days ago an egg of the great auk was offered for sale in London and after a spirited competition was knocked down for $1,222. The price teems enormous, but when it is re membered that there are only, as far as known, sixty-live of these eggs in existence the wonder ceases, as there are many more collectors, whose col lections would not be complete without this coveted possessions. The eggs, of which a single one alone was laid in a season, were deposited on a ledge of rock close to the sea, as the inability of the bird to travel on land would preclude it from seeking a nesting place far from the shore and the baby auk would be enabled as soon as pos sible to slip into the sea. The great auk Is believed to be extinct. The latest account of a living specimen was given by the late Dr. Fleming, who in 1821 w»as cruising in the Hebrides and observed one. which had been caught by some fishermen in the sea near St Kilda. It was brought on board the yacht by the sailors and tied by the leg—a big bird of about three feet in length with a large beak and wings of very small size, with which it made no attempt to fiy. Its waddling gait was most ungainly and difficult on the smooth deck, but when, still tied by the leg with a long rope, it was allowed to seek its food overboard it was as tonishing to see the rapidity with which it swam under wratcr. The wings, used as propellers, with rapid beats, aided by the feet, drove it through the sea with incredible swift ness, and the boats had hard work to keep up with it. The amusement at length met with disaster, as one day when exercising in the usual manner the rope broke or became detached and this last scion of a noble race dis appeared to be seen no more.—Chicago News.
