To the Editor of The Evening : At the request of many sufferers I desire to ask you if there is any redress for tired people against the ever prevalent young woman with a piano and a voice. We have discussed lynching, surreptitious poisoning, ete, but can agree upon nothing definite, except that death should be meted out to Elvira cn our block, which is on Capitol Hill. We seek advice, and to this end give you a little synopsis of our woe: Elvira begins the morning at about 6 o'clock with two hours of a “five-finger exercise.” This is apparently to get up steam. We then have a “ten-finger” wres- ue, interspersed with songs, for the rest of the morning. Ten or fifteen minutes’ in- termission for lunch follows,and then there is a repetition of the morning work. After a 6 o'clock dinner the poor suffering neigh- borhood {s tortured with the banging and thrashing of the wretched instrument until 10 or 11 at night. These are the simple unvarnished facts in the case. Sleep is rendered impggssible within a radius of half a block of this fateful house, and often we must close the windows to render conversation intelligi- Lie. Hot weather seems to stimulate our Elvira to unusual exertions, and she will doubtless last all summer. I should like to hear the experiences of scme of your readers regarding the Elviras upon their respective blocks. Do they grin and bear with them, and take their daily dose of the ‘“Maiden’s Prayer” with fortitude, or have there been mysterious disappearances? In the case of a disap- pearance, do the friends, if any, make a troublesome search? Is there any remedy, legal or otherwise, for such a state of af- fairs, except violence? By giving us judicious advice upon this grave subject, you will greatly oblige many tormented readers. MINERVA. ————— Killed While Bathing.

Three-Pound Egan in an Ordinary Incubator. Dr. Joseph Palmer of the National Mu- .seum performed a rare and dangerous scientific operation yesterday four times ver with remarkable and highly gratify Ing succe Some time in March Mr. - ward Schmid sent to the Norwalk ostrich farm at Norwalk, Cal., and bought five ostrich eggs at a cost of $5 each. In due time they came, and four were put in an ture for fourtec to Arthur G pxpert poult rahina hen, week the e; 7. day: iner of Springfield, Mc who the an it under a big end of the second ve not oniy bet on, but have be nan, At 4 anced in it. It takes ay: an ostrich egg to hatch. By the eighth or tenth day the germ should be distincuy visible. Yet none of the egss were thus far advanced. ‘The methed of testing is precisely the same for hens’ eggs. In a darkened room the the egg tester, which imply a tin lamp chimney with a hole in one side to let out a bar of light. When held before this egg tester light it was as easily “possible to see through the huge three-pound ostrich egg as it would have been to look through a sparrow's egg. At the end of the fourteen days the eggs were perfectly clear. There was practically no air cell, and the contents had not begun to dry down as they should in a fertile egg. Mr. A. F. Cooper cf the Prairie State In- cubator Company happened to come to Washington just then, and he also tesied the ostrich eggs. He is recognized ¢: where as an expert incubator manager, and was not likely to make a mistake. He pronounced the egss infertile. Mr. Schmid telegraphed to California, and the Norwalk manager promptly sent on another set of ees and asked that the infertile ones be “blown” and sold. Yesterday Dr. Palmer “blew” the big eggs. They were as big and bald as a baby’s head and weighed none of them less than three pounds. There is a good deal of danger in such big eggs when they have been incubated for any length of time, especially if they are fertile enough to start the germ and yet so weak that it dies in the shell. 'T ecg is ilkely to ex plode very much in the old laboratory experiment the seep bubbles filled with sulphuretted hydrogen break loc Dr. Palmer was loath to tackle Mr. hmid'’s eggs. Only the other cay man up in Connecticut was knocked over by one and covered with a quart of arrested ostrich germ, to the disgust of hims-!f and all who came near him for a fortnight. Yet Dr. Palmer is a brave man, und he went at his task brayel. A big tub of er was set out in the middle of the floor, whcre there was a good ch for instantane« flight. Then, placing the egg under water, he drilled a smai hole on the under side, inserted a small pump within a long slender tube that passed up into the egg above the con- tents, and with a gent sure forced air gradually into the shell, which in turn drove the white and yolk out. In this \ three eggs were safely emptied of contents. By this time Dr. Palmer’ integrity of these eggs w inforced and he ventured to “blow one out of water. The contents Were caught in a two-quart cup. shells were then rinsed within and cleans. on the ouside and are now rea placed in the collector's cabinet. Phey are beautiful in their symmetry, their curves being simply faultless. Little stipple mar or pores are ttered over them to pe mit air to enter, a feature other eggs. Mr. Gardner has not yet reported on the egg sent to him. He mae an st of nice clean sand and half buried the egg, then put a venerable old hen on it and awaited results, In all probability it, like the others, is infertile. Th: cond set of eggs have been in the tor now for over a week, and seem to be fertile. They rest on cotton, and a thermometer is laid by them on a small frame, so that the bulb constantly touches an egg. It is necessary to turn them every twelve hours, and Mr. Cugley, "who has charge of the incubators, has put a big on one side of each e: and a big M on the other. In this way he knows every morning and evening which side of the should be up; The eggs now wan increasing air cell, and the yelks © more cpaqve than in’ infertile exgs. There also seems to be an opaque which appears where the germ is usual! seen. None of the blood-red veins, seen in a good live hen’s egg the seventh or eighth day, have yet developed. They are due to hatch June Mr. Schmid’ says he will be satisfied if he is fortunate enough to hatch even one bird. He thinks he can rear one if hatched. Incubators are com- monly used now in ostrich hatching in this co) . The birds, when successfully reared, are very juable, HUNTED UP Barnest Meeting Last Night of the Bullding Trades Council. The regular weekly meting of the Buitd- ing Trades Council was held last evening, President William Silver presiding. Hight organizations were represented. The committee appointed to investigate @ report that non-union men are employed on the power house being erected in George- town by the Potomac Light and Power Company reported the rumor to be cor- rect. The committee stated further that they had talked the matter over with the superintendent in charge, but that no con. clusion was reached. The committee was continued and will take further action. Complaint was made that a non-union carpenter is at work in the K Street Mar- ket, and it was stated that although the matter was called to the attention of the proper official, he positively refused to in- terfere. The gricvance committee was re- quested to look into the subject further, and it was stated that if the man is not soen removed an effort will be made to have the Building Trades’ Council boycott the market. The council indorsed a request received from the stonemasons that the Central La- bor Union be asked to use its influence to have union mechanics employed in the con- struction of the Columbia and Maryland electric railroad.
