The chief point of interest, from a scientific point of view, is the fact that the contents of the egg have been converted into a bituminous substance re- sembling asphalt, thus supporting the hypothesis that bitumen is derived from
animal remaing.
The ogg is quite large-as large as that of a duck or goose-and resembles most closely, the egg of a cormorant.
It is so
perfectly preserved as to show that it must have been completely imbedded very shortly after it was laid

A hundreds of thousands of years ago. bird of the size of a cormorant or goose laid this precious egg, which by some mis- chance tumbled into the water, or at all events into the soft oczo of which limo- stone is formed, with suflicient force to become completely embedded in the ooze and thus protected. For countless years this naze continued to be formed on top, and at last the whole became consolidated iato limestone.
Then the limestone was lifted from its watery bed by volcanic or other action and became a portion of a mountain range. Then erosion began. Through the agencies of frust and rain, sunshine and cold, fragments of limestone were broken off, until at last the egg was
reached, and the fragment containing it fell into one of the gullies that feed the Gila River. There, in flood-time, it was rolled over and over, amid a multitude of other stones, small and large until all its angles were rubbed off and it became a water worn pebble in a mountain stream, moving downward when the floods came in sufficient volume to stir it from its resting- place, and then.a prospector, searching for gold or other mineral, found it and cracked it with his geologic pick, exposing one end of the egg
What a wonderful history! adds the scientific journal, But still more wonder- ful is the thought of the thousands and thousands of years that must have elapsed between the day when the egg fell into the water and became imbedded and the day when it nest met the light, as a fossil, in the hands of a man.

As they went up the hill Hallifax improved his position, while Invincible Rose fell to the rear, Gresson using the whip. Hallifax, at the black rock, was a couple of lengths behind Umbrian King and was racing level with Nomination. The leader retained his position at the village, but Hallifax came along fast and as they entered the straight the distance between the two ponies had decreased considerably. Moller shook his mount up and drow level with Umbrian King. The race up the straight was exciting.
