What Are Pearls I?

Pearls are carbonate Of lime, The
same substance of which the shell OF
the oyster is composed, and are iden,
titled with the smother Of pearl"
which forms the interior of the pearl
oyster shell. A high temperature
will reduce any pearl to common lime,
and in the heat of an ordinary fire a
pearl will completely lose its identity
and become pinch Of white powder.
All precious stones are injured by a
high temperature: the diamond being
almost pure carbon, is completely
consumed at a temperature somewhat
greater than white heat. When the
Southern Hotel was burned in this
city some years ago, lady guest left
her diamonds in her room. As the
gems were large and valuable, careful
search was made for them after the
ruins had cooled, and they were
found, but the intense heat had GOV.
cred every stone with a white crust,
where partial combustion had taken
place. Rubies, sapphires and emer.
aids lose their color on exposure to
heat, while the semi-precious stones
such as the amethyst, topaz and gar
net, are completely ruined by COM
paratively low heat. - st. Louis

Government Road Work.

During the past year the Bureau Of
Road Inquiry of the Agricultural De-
partment has devoted most of its at
tention to practical work, but has bsen
limited by the fact that no money is
provided by Congress for actual road
building. What has been done has
been by means of contributions from
those interested, the Bureau simply
experimenting and controlling the
work. Under these circumstances the
Government should not be blamed for
the location of the sample pieces Of
road that have been built. So far they
are five in number, and are OF New
Brunswick, N. j.; Geneva, N. Y;
Kingston, R. l.; Warren, Penn, and
Ithaca. N. Y. General Stone thinks
that, il the manufacturers remain will
ing to furnish the machinery free, an
expenditure not exceeding $500 by
the Government for each locality would
call forth enough subscriptions to
build from $4,000 to $40, 900 worth of
road at most of the 116 agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.

Begged without Words,

his substitute that the window be-
hind the pulpit was broken, but re.
quested the latter to say nothing about
it, as he had spoken several times
without effect. He added that the
hymn books were badly torn, and
finished by saying, in ON apologize
tone, that che didn't suppose the peo-
pie could afford new Ones"
The young minister promised to re-
frain from making any remarks upon
these matters. After beginning SER
vice he found the draught from the
window uncomfortable. Hequietly took
his overcoat and stuffed it through the
broken glass. The deacons became
very uneasy, inwardly resolving to
remedy this at the earliest possible
moment.
When he announced the second
HYMN he found the last two stanza:
missing. He read what he had, ther
said to the congregation: 'These ore
all the verses in my book; if there are
any more in yours you may sing them. ;
Needless to say, the window wa

California "aoodroads" League.

Out on the Pacific coast they write
The name of their new association in
,ne word, as they say that they have
plenty of roads, "but few ''goodroads. +"
For ten years they have had educa-
tional talk and unsatisfactory legisla-
ton. Two years ago q Bureau of
Highways was created to visit all the
counties and collect data and statis-
tics on road matters, with view to
preparing suitable road legislation in
1897. AS a result Of their report,
three bills were framed, one creating
Department G. Highways, another
defining its duties, and a third provid-
ing special tax for The work Of the
department. The Governor signed the
first and vetoed the others, thus Great
ing department without duties to
perform and perfectly useless. The
"Goodroads" League was therefore
formed to cultivate good roads senti-
ment, disseminate information and
secure such Legislative and executive
action as will ensure good roads to the
State. 1t is proposed to form associa
lions in every county to affiliate with
the State association.

To carry out his idea Professor SCOTT
has issued circular to those interested
in educational matters in MOST Of the
large cities of the country, and tp
Chicago has arranged with Professor
Nightingale, Superintendent Of High
Schools, to obtain sets of exercises
from all the high schools of the city.
The plan limits the writing of exer-
cises in this country to high-school
pupils, and sets six subjects for COM
position, with stated times for writing
each. The exercises are to be written
in the school room within period OF
one hour, no revision is to be allowed
and other precautions are taken to
make the series fair test Of the power
of expression. Only those who entered
school during September, 1897, are to
write, and the compositions only OF
those who complete the four years.

be preserved. In this way Professor
Scott believes 1t will be possible to
secure material for an exact compar.

The subjects for this year are such
as are easily within the grasp Of the
first year high-sohool pupil, but allow
full play to the pupils power OF ex-
pression-the writing Of letter to
friend giving an account Of some
thing that happened during the sum-
mer; a short story on the lines of a
plot given; q description Of some per-
son known to the writer; an explana-
ton of certain quotation to a person
younger than the writer in such terms
as can be easily understood, and q
composition persuading a boy or girl
of tho pupils own age to read a book
which the pupil has lately read and
liked.
subsequently the circular will be

GOOD ROADS NOTES.

Toll Gates in New York.
y The agitation in favor Of better and
cleaner highways has aroused pub
lie sentiment that is not likely to be
satisfied until the roads are every
where both good and free. A lawyer
in Albany, N. Y, writes as follows to
local paper:
"By common consent the toll gates
and toll bridges which surround Al
bany are voted public nuisance that
should be abolished forthwith. Their
tolerance does not argue well for the
intelligence or morals of the commun-
ity. That they have been tolerated
for an hundred years In the past does
not indicate that they mustnecessarily
be tolerated for another hundred years
to come. Some time or other, and
that in the near future, these relics Of
barbarism will be prohibited forever.
There will never be time more fav-
orable to begin the preliminary pro-
ceedings than the time being. I am
aware that the toll gate nuisance Is
pretty we'll entrenched in law; or the
the forms of law. but I deny that they
have, in justice, any right to legal
existence. I am also well aware that
any bill designed to abolish them will
meet with the desperate, sordid OPP
position of those who claim to be en-
lowed with so-called vested rights,
to wit, a perpetual right to plumber
the public until the end of time. -;
"Take, as an instance in point, the
old wooden bridge at Waterford. That
massive structure was built by cor
poration, chartered in 1903, the cor
porate life Of which was limited
originally by statute to seventy-fve
years, after which the bridge, with all
its appurtenances, was to become q
free public highway, owned by the
people of the State of New York.
Many years prior to- the year 1878,
with the usual disregard to the rights
of the people, that manifestly wise
and just provision Of the charter was
repealed, and, consequently, this use
full and substantial structure, the
builders of which were amply repaid
for their investment, is now owned
by close corporation who render nc
useful and necessary service to the
people of the commonwealth, yet who
admit that they divide, annually, Q
clear net profit in cash of $4,000.
''It is, perhaps, more than probable
that the earnings, or toll collections,
from this bridge are sufficient for ad
ditional profits at least equal to the'
amount, which may be divided each
year in the form of liberal salaries to
the officers, but there is no informa
lion accessible to the public on tina
point. I have been informed, how
ever, that not infrequently the toll col
lected from those who have occasion
to cross the bridge amounts to nearly
Or quite five hundred dollars within
single twenty-four hours"
