GET PEARLS FROM HERRINGS

Humble Denizen of the North Sea Sald to Have a Value Not Hitherto Suspected.

A new kind of imitation pearl will shortly be Ilaunched, for which we have to thdnk the humble herring. The process is secret, and has lately been investigated by a commercial mission from America ‘which has been visiting the Scottish ports. Fish-scales are used, and the substance produced from ‘them is called “chitin.” “The artificial pearls are treated wl«'th this preparation, and the result is said to give not only the exact phosphofiescent glow found in real pearls, but the same velvety feeling. The North sea herrings have proved themselves the best for this purpose. : If this discovery proves to be a really exact imitation—so exact, that is, that even experts will not be able to tell the difference—what will happen to the genuine pearl? ° - Will people still pay huge prices for merely knowing that the pearls are real, without gaining .any additional advantage of glow and appearance? -Meanwhile, the imitations are getting so good that one lady is reported to possess three necklaces—the genuine one; the valuable imitation, and a third less valuable imitation which she wears perp)etually,{ lest the .better imitation should be .stolen!——Detroit Free Press. L o ‘ A e | HAVE MANY CURIOUS HABITS Negritos of the Philippines Mutilate Themselves in Belief That It Makes “Them Beautiful. i Many of the Negritos of the Phﬂ}ﬁ& pines point their front teeth, but nof by filing them, as is commonly suf)j’posed, says the Detroit News. A chip of wood is:held behind the tooth #o be operated upon, and the point of a bolo is placed in such a position ‘as to slant across the corner of the tooth to be removed, and a sharp bl)\v on ‘the bolo chips a plece from the tooth. The opposite corner is similarly operated upon. | . F The Negritos are generally considered to be theitrue aborigines of the Philippines, "and are racially sharply distinct from most othen numerous ‘tribes of the Islands, and their intelligence is of an exceptionally low order. They ornament their bodies with scar patterns, produced by -cutting through the skin with sharp pieces of bamtgoo, and rubbing dirt into the wourids thus formediin' order to infect them and make good big scars. Men frequently shave the crowns -of their heads .“in order to let the heat out.”

Hunt Egypt's Secrets.

. Mightier than-the pyramids in its power to guard the secrets of ancient Egypt is the Nile; but when the excavators ‘of the Metropolitan museum return to their work at the pyramid fields of Lisht next season they will go prepared :to match the strength of scientific clriosity against that of the great river. This was learned from Albert M. Lythgoe, curator of the Egyptian department at the museum. ; These flelds at Lisht include the pyramids of Amenemhat I, and Sesostris I, the founders of the powertful twelfth dynasty, under which the middle kingdom rose to its maximum glory. These Pharaohs mark the pinnacle of Egypt's second great historical period, as those of the eighteenth dynasty, to which Tut-Ankh-Amen belonged, ' marked the height of the third. : ‘ United States Public Lands. ' United States government during the last year has turned over to private citizens of this country 12,904,821 acres of public lands through issuance of patents. giving them complete ownership, according to figures compiled by the general land office of the Interior department. o : The total equals the acreage em‘braced in the states of Comnecticut, Delaware and Maryland. ‘Titles were given to 9,632,635 acres under the homestead law, which means that constructive home-building will result. Since 1920 over 10,443,647 acres of public land have been thrown open, in which . ex-service men of the World war have had preference in filing entries. : Ak :

When Is It a Fish?

It happened at a Sunday evening lunch, in the home of a six-year-old Indianapolis boy. The center of attraction at this particular lunch was a plate of sardines, and the father of the youth offered to serve him, saying: “Miner ‘Evans, will you have a ‘sardine?” - Miner Evans looked at the offering. “What's a sardine?” L ; “Why, a sardine, is just a fish, and you like fish.” e : ¢ Miner Evans had spent his last summer at.a Lake Michigan resort and felt competent to pass on questions concerning fish and fishing, so he drew back in lofty disdain and emphatically declared: “You can’t fool me, that's not fish, that's bait.” ! : - Japan Importing Less Cotton. v ‘ Japan's imports from the United States during March amounted to 37, 'OOO,OOO yen, a decline of 2,000,000: yen from February and 8,000,000 yen from January, the dropping off during March owed entirely to a decrease in the ‘amount of American cotton imported. All the other principal itemg imported from the United States showed an increase. Imports of American cotton %’ ing March declined 121,000 piculs, While imports of Indfan cotton increased 360,000 piculs, as compared | with theﬁvﬁgeﬁhrmﬂi.“ s s D e . geaeral agenis made = two recent inspections of the cows on the O, V, e e g w .é w o L T S e

APPEALED TO THEIR HUMOR

Theatergoers. Unable to Appreciate Shakespeare’s Characters Arrayed e : in Modern Gal:; In Birmingham, England, the other day an‘expériment in dramatic: art, intended to prove that Shakespeare's’ plays were greater than' any representation of ‘them, ended in a ludicrous fiasco. What the experiment proved was that, unless the characters are garbed according to the ac cepted traditions, the lines and situations created even by the master mind of the world’s greatest dramatist have no power to impress a modern audience, : . The play chosen for the purpose was “Cymbeline,” staged in a country that never existed. Therefore, argued the promoters, they were free to garb the characters In any way they ] pleased, and so the characters ap-| peared in the modern dress of the present day. A company of scholarly actors had been assembled to play the parts and all other stage traditions carefully attended - to. Butl Shakespeare in a tuxedo failed to get across. The audience saw only the funny side of the unexpected costumes and laughed at the most dramatic incidents and tittered at the actors’ most poetic and Inspirational utterances, ; ~ Which seems to confirm the attitude . of the motion-picture producer —that dramatic art appeals more to the eyeé than to the intellect.—Los Angeles Times, TO HAVE SUCCESS IN LIFE

Charles M. Schwab Names Qualities Which It Is Imperative One ? Must Possess. “If I were asked to name the most Important things that lead to a suc.cessful lifd,” Charles M. Schwab is quoted in The Business Woman as saying, “I should say, first of all was Integrity—unimpeachable integrity. No one can ever do anything of .great value in life, and have the confidence and approval of his fellow men; or be successful in his undertakings with other business people, if he does: not have the reputation of being a person of honor and integrity. This: is the very foundation of a successful life, - : “Another important thing is loyalty. Be loyal to the people with whom you assoclate at the start. Make your employer feel that you are sincere with him; that you are going to promote his interests; that you are going to stand for the things he represents, and that will reap you a richer reward. . Loyalty above all! “Be friends, with ‘everybody. When you have friénds, you know there is somebody who will stand by you. Lead a life that will make you kindly dnd friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised at what a happy life you will lead. : “These things secure opportunity. That secured, there comes the need' of good judgment, which is one of the' prime requisites for enduring success.”

Tobacco Will Rout Pest.

The melon and cucumber beetle, the: striped little pest now causing pangs of disappointment and rage in the hearts of gardeners, amateur and otherwise,_ls an anti-tobacco leaguer. He hates the weed, so fight him with nicotine or tobacco dust, says the Department of Agriculture. If the dust be sprinkled over the young plants the beetles will seek pasture ' elsewhere. Also they will depart if the plants be given tight veils of mosquito netting until they: grow big and strong enough to fight their own battles. If these measures are adopted by an entire community, and accompanied by the use of trap plants, suitably poisoned with arsenate of lead or bordeaux mixture, both, the nunmbers of the enmemy will be greatly reduced and homegrown “cukes” and cantaloupes enjoyed by and by, says the department.—Science Service. i ; 1 1 _—— : ~ Within Bounds. - A young man set out for the first time to. get orders in the west of England. : : - y At Plymouth he met an old commerclal traveler, who asked him how he had got on. , : “Badly,” he replied. “I was insulted at every place T visited.” = “That’s strange,” said the other. “I have been on the road 40 years; I have had my samples flung into the street; T have been taken by the scruff of the neck and pitched downstairs; I don’t deny that I have been rolled in ‘the gutter, but insultéd, never!” -

Quebec Gold Fields. Informdtion coming out by mail from prospectors in the new gold fields of northwestern Quebec is to the effect that the cush has shown no abatement, and that the movement is gen-: eral toward the east. Some staking is taking place in the township of Clericy, around Clericy lake, but the greater staking is along the KenoJevis river, and extending away off toward the east. : ! e —————— Flaw in, Alcoholic Fuel, Althong; .experiments have shown that alcohol as fuel for trucks is successful in: the Philippines, this is not the case with passenger cars. Besides the fact of the fuel's offensive odor, the carburetors do not supply enough air, and the economy is not sufficient to warrant passenger-car users in changing their carburetors, even if suitable ones were avallable. : ' Has New Overland. . - Karl Bourie rural mail carrier hag purchased an Overland four to use on his mail route and has discarded e e f@* et e
