A Threefold Egg 
Perhaps your readers might he inter¬ 
ested to learn of an unusual egg laid by 
a hen belonging to Mr. George Van Ars- 
dale, a neighbor of mine. This was really 
a triple egg, or three distinct shells and 
contents. The innermost was apparently 
a normal egg in shape, size and character 
of shell and contents. Outside of this 
was a second shell, hard, but a little thin, 
about the size of a goose egg, and contain¬ 
ing about four tablespoonfuls of clear 
albumin. The outermost shell was a soft 
membrane, and contained about two table¬ 
spoonfuls of thin, clear, albumin. So 
far as he knows this is the only abnormal 
egg the hen has laid, and she seems to be 
in good health. • It seems a pity that sci¬ 
ence has such a perfectly plain and satis¬ 
factory explanation of such a freak, for 
in the old times this would have been 
considered a miraculous occurrence and 
an undoubted omen. w. h. whitten.
