Dying at the County Infirmary, with his wife destitute and their little home mortgaged, is Nicholas Toussaint, bet- ter known to the club men and the “night owis” as “Frenchy,” the hack- man. A fatal malady is upon the old time hack driver and it is only a ques- tion of a few days, if not hours, when “F * shall be no more. A pitiable sto; of hard earnings lost, of poverty, of sickness and desti- tution, is the situation that confronts Toussaint and his faithfui wife. For many years “Frenchy” had a hack stand in front of the old Athen- ian Club and later at the Macdonough Theater. Among his patrons were many of the Athenians, great confidence in the pioneer cabby. “Frenchy” deserted his hack busi- ness during the early part of the Klon- dike boom. Gathering up the few thou- sand dollars he had saved Toussaint went off to Alaska to win a fortune, but the fickle lady gave the Oaklander the mitten. Toussaint lost every dol- lar he had and retufned to Oakland and his hack stand, broken in health, despondent and without a penny. Mat- ters ran from bad to worse and the home was mortgaged.

After an egg- gets to be 1,000,000 years of age it does not matter much to anybody but the scientists. The scientists at the university are unable to determine whether thé egg was laid in the quarternary period of the earth’s formation or later. Now the quarternary period is anywhere from 11,000,000 to 2,500,000 years old, some sci- entists holding for the one and some for YOU: 3 'ALIFORNIA ON A OF WOMAN WHO HAS MADE A SCIENTIFIC SITY REMARKABLE FOSSIL ABOVE, WHICH WAS FOUND IN SHASTA COUNTY.

The conjectures over the years of the egg are contained in a bulletin just issued at the university by Pro- fessor William Conger Morgan and Miss Marion Clover Tallmon, his as- sistant. There are some interesting the antiquity of the egg. Their value is also important as a determining fac- tor In proving the origin of bituminous substances, which this inquiry proves to be organic. PROSPECTOR FINDS EGG. This egg was found by a prospector secking for gold on the banks of the Gila River in Arizona. The prospector turned it over to G. A. Hel- more, a mining man of San Francisco, and Mr. Helmore has loaned | it to the university for stud and description. Other prehi toric eggs have been found, but none sc valuable as this. Those found in New Zealand are of birds that laid eggs of unusual thickness and strength. The eggs of the tertiary period from Au- vergne, France, are mere shells filled with hardened mud. When found the Tallmon egg was enclosed in a matrix of solid rock, in removing which the specimen was broken. The shell has retained its | original composition and microscopic nature. The chemical analysis shows that it does not differ from the shell of a wild goose egg, and a thin section de- velops that it is of the same structure as that exhibited by a similar section from a hen’s egg. It is the opinion of the investigators that the specimen be- lcnged to an aquatic bird, probably one of the cormorant type. MARKINGS ARE PRESERVED. The minutest markings of the shell are preserved in the matrix. Upon re- moving the capsule it was found that its inner surface was marked with pe- culiar pits and to be covered with a thin layer of tarry material, which usually fills the pits completely. The number of pits in any piece of the mat- rix corresponds with the number of vis- ible pores in that part of the shell from which it was removed. Of the contents of the egg the authors of the bulletin say: With the exception of a small epace near the periphery the Interior is filled solidly with a beautifully crystalline mass of the mineral colemanite. In several places next the shell there is present a dark brown semli-fluld tarry material resembling asphalt. When cold it is brittle, but as the temperature rises it grows softer ‘until at 100 degrees Centigrade it be- comes a fluid. Its soecific gravity is a trifle less than that of boiling water. These facts tell us something of the history of the egg fossil during the period {n which it lay buried, and also show the relation of the tar it contains to other bituminous matter. Eince the tar is completely soluble in petro- leum ether without residue of any kind, while the heated product s largely insoluble in the same menstruum, it {s evident that the fossil has never been subjected to a temperature as high as 150 degrees Centigrade. The tar as it exists in the egg requires simply this slight elevaticn of temperature to make it Indlstins gushable from a natural asphait. The authors find that it is greatly improbable that the tar found in the egg is of external origin. All the re- sults point to its having been derived from the material present in the egg. Though absolute proof cannot be given the evidence amounts to almost a dem- onstration that the bituminous sub- stance now present in the egg repre- data in the bulletin, and they concern PRESS FFFORT ON A_Ff_l[_lAVlTS City’s Attorneys and the Councilmen Work Hard to Complete the Documents R R Oakland Office 8an Francisco Call, 1016 Broadway, June 5.
