fisheries produced pearl worth 49,

baroque pearl was found. composed OF
seven distinct pearls forming a cross
It's value was immense. In 1882 tho
pearl beds OF California yielded a pearl
worth 10000 francs. Sets OF pearls may
be very costly. Pearl necklaces worth
1 900. 900 francs are not uncommon In
Paris or New York. but the caskets Of
princes and OF millionaires cannot
rival those of ancient Rome. They

T ming w,id Ducks.

In watching n flock OF Wild ducks
flying over our heads we seldom stop
to consider ut what remarkable speed
they are travelling. Saturday morning.
while returning from business trip
To Chicago. Elmer Shank called the
writer's attention TO n nock OF these
migratory birds flying not far overhead
and in n direction parallel with that
or our train. They Tapped steadily
along, apparently not losing or gaining
u foot OF space for considerable
length of time. and when last noted
were stili keeping up to the exact
speed Of the train. An examination OF
our watches showed the speed OF the
train 10 be foriy-four miles per hour,
which speaks very well for the
strength OF the ducks wings.-Mount

AS memory recalls In succession on

these gifted generals, without the rank
