. Eggs: facts and fancies about them . MYTHOLOGY. EW articles of common life have fig- ured as largely in history and fable as the Qgg. The proverb " 07nne Vivum ex Ovo^ is the basis of the religious belief of many Eastern nations. The formation of the world from chaos Avas well compared to the development of the chicken from the Qgg. The mundane or universal egg may be traced in all mythology. Under various forms the same legend appears, namely: that on the waste of waters a mighty bird deposited an Qgg from which the earth was evolved. In his "Histoire Religieuse du Calendrier" [Paris, 1776], the learned M. Court de Gebelin gives man}^ of these legends. Here it is only possible to give a condensed translation from this quaint old French book.
