Sanders,. second hand in the slasher room at the Loray Mill, brought to The Gazette office "last night an egg the shape of which was so entirely different from that of the ordinary egg that It was a real cu riosity. This freak product of the poultry yard was laid by a brown leghorn hen belonging to Mr. San ders, who in addition to his work at the mill is something of a fowl fan cier. The egg for such it' was, the shell being perfect so far as its com position was concerned was some what of a crescent in shape. So the poultry editor described it. The scientific editor said it looked very much like the pictures the papers are publishing of Halley's comet since it has developed a curved tall. It was laid Wednesday, the day on which the earth was scheduled to pass through the tail of the comet and it was suggested that perhaps thattevent had something to do with the peculiar formation. Mr. San ders left the egg at the Abernethy Shields Drug Co's. store whereany one may see it Comet Visible To-NIghC. The comet will be visible tonight Just after sunset; so the astrono mers tell us. We are told that when It appears Just after sunset It will (be much more brilliant than It was in the morning sky. Look for it right over the spot where the . sun goes down and after the first night or two look for a shaft of light ris ing up into the heavens Until It seemi like a rainbow cut in two. 'Mrs. D. A.
