TWO STORIES OF THE OPAL One Brought Bad Fortune, and th* Other, an Imitation, Waa Readily Parted With. A husband gave his wife an opal ring. Trouble began. Their two chtldred died. Sickness came to the wife. The husband lost his job. The wife became an invalid. Just before she died she gave the opal ring to her sister. The sister, knowing the history of the ring, pawned it for what it would bring and burned the ticket. A wife presented her husband with an opal ring. For two years Jones, who owed him money, had walked on the other side of the street. Jones paid him on the first day he wore the ring. His mining stock went up five points on the second day. The third day his salary was raised. Dove nor money could not purchase that opal ring. A man dropped into a Malden lane jewelry shop the other day and, taking off an opal ring set with pearls, said! "A pearl has dropped out of my ring. I've worn that opal ten years, and it has brought me nothing but good luck.” The jeweler picked it up, put his lens to his eye and said: “Do you want the truth?” The man hesitated at the question. “Yes,” he drawled slowly. “It Isn’t an opal; it's merely a piece of colored glass. The pearls are imitations.” “Is that the truth?” he said slowly. “It is,” said the jeweler. The man put the ring into his coat pocket. “Much obliged,” he said. “If I did not know the reputation of your house I would not believe you.” As he passed out of the door a sudden inspiration came to him. “Here,” he said to the colored attendant who held the door open for him, "wear this. It will bring you good luck.” And he gave the “opal” ring to the colored attendant and walked out. World’s Largest Lighthouse. The most important lighthouse at the presen.t time, so far as actual operations are concerned, is the light of Helgoland, from the fact that it is centered in the very heart of the naval war zone. Helgoland was ceded by Great Britain to Germany in 1890, in return for concessions made to Britain in East Africa.

The Helgoland light is an electric one, and the most powerful in Germany. and is claimed by the Germans to be the most powerful light in existence. The light consists of a cluster of three revolving lights, having n lighting power of 40,000,000 candles, a magnitude of light which from figures alone is hard and difficult to realize. The lights are on the searchlight principle, and the cluster is surmounted by a single light of the same kind and size, that can be revolved Independently and three times as fast as tho three lights. The single light is put into use in case of accident to the cluster, of three. The electric power Is generated by two steam engines and boilers, running belt-driven electric generators. Queer Belgian Village. Surrounded as it is by Dutch territory, Bar-le-Duc, a little undefended Belgian village in the north of the province of Antwerp, has a unique geographical position, for the Germans cannot reach it without violating the neutrality of Holland. It possesses its post and telegraph office, in direct communication with French and Dutch post offices, and people in Britain can easily correspond with Bar-le-Duc via Flushing and Tilbourg (Holland). For that reason Bar-le-Duc post office has become important, and good use is being made of that fact in obtaining help for the Red Cross society. Special postage stamps of the value of five, ten and twenty centimes, are being sold at ton, twenty and forty centimes, of which sums half is set aside for the Red Cross society. The post office of Belgian Monaco has obtained such celebrity that there is a great demand for these Red Cross stamps as souvenirs. The Zeigler Turtle. The Zeigler turtle, known to be at least fifty-three years old, has been reported seen again on the Zeigler farm near Kirksville. According to the Express, this was captured in 1861 by Harrison Zeigler, who carved his name and the date on its shell. Forty-eight years later it was found again by Perry Zeigler, son of Harrison Zeigler. Perry Zeigler added his own name and the date to the carving on the turtle’s shell and released it. It was again seen three years ago by a member of the family, and now Perry Zeigler saw it a few days ago.— Kansas City Times. School of Forestry in China. It is notorious that afforestation is one of the most urgent of China’s needs, and it is, therefore, of interest to learn that a school of forestry is about to be established in the University of Nanking. The co-operation of the director of forestry at Manila has been secured, and it is proposed to send two experts from Manila to aid in establishing the school. —Scientific American. Gold From the Philippines. The 1914 output of gold In the Philippine islands shows a gain of 39 per cent over the year 1913. The value ot the year's yield was $1,208,433, a little over one-half of which is from lode mining, the remainder being the output of dxedgea. 7

AMERICAN LABOR BEST FACT THAT EMPLOYERS ARE QUICK TO RECOGtJIZE, Foremen Makes Assertion That ths Fastest Workmen Are Found in New York—Plasterers Mentioned as a Case In Point. “I can readily understand. ’ said an employer of labor, "that the Glasgow strike was. as it is reported, caused by American workmen speeding up the machines and so turning out mere work than their British fellows: also that their supeiior garments worn while going to and from the shops caused some dissatisfaction to the same people. Without going into the psychology or sociology of the situation every employer In this country recognizes the fad “I do not mean, however, that every best workman is a native sou. Far from it. Some of the best were born in ether countries, but they learned their trades here or arrived from their heme lands before they had become settled in their habits of labor. Thrown among fast workers, they develop the same speed of operation and become fine examples of American workmen “Ant 1 of al! America the city of New Ycrk turns out the best and fastest of the skilled labor While on my way to Detroit recently I met in the smoking compartment of the Pullman rar a German foreman of plasterers and got into conversation with him He was going to the same city to take charge of a gang of New York plasterers v.ho had been sent there to work on a mansion that was being built by a wealthy man “I asked him why his firm sent men from New York to Detroit, paying their traveling expenses, instead of selecting men In that city, and he told me it was because they could do the work much better and much faster. He himself, he said, had been sent to a number of other cities during his experience ns a foreman and had never been able to secure from local tiNer.t the same efficiency he could front a New Yorker. “ 'lf you want to get the same amount of work from them,' he said, ‘you have to keep driving them ail the time. What is an ordinary nay's stint for a New York plasterer is at least top speed for the outsider. As a rule when he Is forced to keep up such a rapid gait he doesn’t do the work well, and sometimes it has to be done a” over again. There Is no profit in that.' “1 asked him how the American workman compared with his fellow from European countries. “ ‘Well,’ he answered, ‘1 have a good many foreigners under me from one year to another; not all born here. Neither was I. Naturally I would favor Germans, all other things being equal, but the foreigner, no matter what Ilfs nationality, who comes to this country a skilled laborer already can never compare with his brother let us say, who emigrated in his youth H» cannot catch up. He makes several motions where his brother makes □no to accomplish the same thing, and 30 loses time.” New Shoes Saved British, Chiropodists in uniform as a necessary and honored part of the British irms is proposed by a London paper, aspired by the marching record of a Lancashire regiment, which boasts of 1 well-known chiropodist among its ranks. This regiment has made the hardest practice marches without a man dropping out. The reason is the fine shape the regimental feet are in. Detached from the humdrum routine jf duty, the soldier-chiropodist spends Ms day peeling and paring. If every ■egiment had the same advantage such things as retreats from Mons ■night be made without discomfort. Besides, the thing which saved the British cn that occasion v.as the bad itate of the German feet, due to new boots. The National Society of Chiropodists, which has a. clinic in Lonjon for the free treatment of soldiers tnd sailors, is enthusiastic over the idea of a chiropodist corps, wearing khaki and bearing the corn and razor ar some other appropriate Insignia on their caps.

Lived Long Under Water, A resuscitating machine, such as is used by the United States governmenl in mine-rescue work, recently kept a young woman alive under water for ane hour and ten minutes. This remarkable fbat was performed luring the session of the safety and sanitation exposition in New York. Conducted under the direction of a for tner surgeon of the United States bureau of mines, the test was performed for the purpose of illustrating the effi ilency of mechanical respiration. The breathing mask, which has a double rubber tube extending to a hand-operated lung apparatus, was strapped over the girls nose and taMttli, and she was then placed In a large glass-front tank. Though submerged for one hour and ich minutes, she did no breathing of uer own accord. Making Flags of Wool. Flags used in the American navy have hitherto been made ot imported wo?!.'

MIXED RACES UNDER KAISER Numerous People. Gathered Beneath the Banner of the War Lord of Germany. Writers on ethnology during this war have called wide atten 01 • what they insist on as hlstorlea ■ that the valley of the Elbe, which 1 now Prussian territory, was one . Slavic land peopled by a race of • ic blood called Wends. i these people are still exlsten In the German empire, and the L'lsa , the Serbs of Lusatia, in Prussia ami Saxony, and the Slovlnes 01 0 >• • tans-and Kasuby of the Baltic region are remainders of the Slavs that once populated Prussia The name Prussia was once Borussia, which was c rupted from Po-Ruesa, a compound word signifying "near the land of the Russ.” “po" being the Slavic word meaning “near.” Other of the p ace names in Prussia are said to be or Slavic origin; as, for example, Pomerania, Strelitz and Kolberg. While all nationalities are a blend of various races, it is interesting to note that an authority on such matters has said that fighting under the German banner today are representatives of no less than 53 nations and tribes. Commercial Aspect of Revivalism. Hardly any of the great standard hymns of the Christian church are copyrighted; but nearly all of the effective ones of the present-day revivalism are copyrighted and jealously guarded. Not because they are valuable as music or as poetry, but for the simple reason that they are a lucrative side line of profit for the evangelist or his musical director. Sankey’s success, as Moody’s musical coadjutor, pioneered the way for this financial by-product. Rodeheaver. Billy Sunday’s aide, is interested in a publishing company that bears his name and that prints and sells the hymn books used exclusively in the Sunday campaigns. If one may judge from the well-known cost of producing such books side by side with the vast number that must be sold each year, ft should be a very profitable flyer. Indeed, one prominent evangelist has seriously warned his fellow evangelists that the commercial aspects and activities of their campaigns are bringing not only their office but the whole cause of religion into disrepute. And it is not only hymn books. The writer has a very vivid impression of one mission conducted by the Rev Reuben A. Torrey, D. D., in which the sale of his various publications seemed to bulk more largely than the conversion of souls. —Joseph H. Odell, in the Atlantic. “Tipperary” and Respiration. The "theory of natural respiration” accounts for the popularity of "It’s a Long. Long Way to Tipperary,” the marching song of the British army, according to Thomas Henderson, an English music teacher. Recently speaking at University college, Nottingham, Mr. Henderson is reported as follows in The Hospital: fudging from their works, Handel and Beethoven respired more slowly than Mendelssohn. Most people breathe about twenty times a minute, and he saw in that a reason why, quite apart from the melody, the most popular music was that in which the rhythm was even and the accent always came on the beat. The song "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary" was a case in point. It had been asked why it should be'■more popular than Elgar s patriotic song. “Land of Hope and Glory." The reason was that “Tipperary” was in agreement with the theory of natural respiration, while Elgar's song was not. Wireless Lighthouses, Trinity house is following very closely an experiment in the use of Hertzian waves, and it is believed that the system will prove of far more lasting value than coast lights, since it can be successfully employed in foggy weather when the lighthouses cannot be seen. Several steamers are now fitted with what are known as direction finders. When near a wireless station on shore, the navigating officer of a ship can, with the assistance of one of these instruments, take bearings under the worst of weather conditions, and thus lessen risk of collision. Some experts, in fact, look forward to the gradual extinction of coast lights. On the north coast of France the French government has for some time been experimenting with special stations for the purpose, the signals being emitted at regular intervals— London Tit-Bits. Pipe Wood is Used by Pennsylvania Pennsylvania leads all of the states in the consumption of v oo<s for use in the manufacture of pipes. Os the different kinds of material employed, apple wood is in greatest demand, for it is the principal wood used in making ‘he so-called brier pipe. Genuine brierwood is purchased at about $350 a thousand feet. The other woods that are used, aside from this and apple, afe red gum, ebony, birch and olive. The state each year consumes in pipe making the equivalent of approximately 225.000 board feet of timber, the average price of which amounts to about $65 a thousand feet —Popular Mechanics.
