This finds its use in warfare. Recently

KINGS OLDES T SUBJECT.
Wonderful Old English Lady who
Lately Entered One Hundred
and Eleventh Year.

Mrs. Neve, of Guernsey, who is per-
laps the oldest of the kings subjects,
aas entered upon her one hundred and
eleventh year. In the sunlit drawing
loom of her residence, around which
lowers bloom richly nearly all the
year, the silver-haired lady gave her
message of good will to her friends,
and then, surrounded by her devoted
.elatives, she read in a clear voice the
;hree verses of Bowly's hymn: "All,
All Is Well" says recent London re-
port.
Mrs. Neve wore glasses while read
ng, but often she dispenses with them.
She walked across the room unaided,
although lately she has been using a
stick while walking about the house
and going up and down. Although it
was deemed desirable that this year
her usual birthday reception of
friends should be foregone, Mrs. Neve
was in good health, and took tea with
the family as she generally does. By
preference she had a crown Derby cup
without handle.

corded in the register of ST. Peter

married in 1923. and lived in Kent when
she and her husband were not travel
ing abroad.
With him she visited Algiers, Moroc-
co, Russia, Poland, Spain, Norway.
| Sweden and Italy, and she studied all
| the languages. At the age of 10 she
| translated Dante from Italian to
French. When she was 90 she went to
see Kosciusko's tomb at Cracow.
In spite of her great age, Mrs. Neve

of her family, and walks up and down
stairs for exercise. Teetotalers will be
interested to hear that Mrs. Neve

SPREAD OF CONTAGION.
Transmission of Diseases Now Is
Checked by Studying the Ways of
Microbes and Serus.

In these days we have most of us
learned the lesson that contagion-
that is to say the catching" quality
of diseases in every case mat
ter of specific microbe or germ. By
specific is meant that each disease
has it's own microbe, and one cannot
catch the disease except by receiving
in one way or another that particular
germ.
These germs have their own manners
and customs, means of travel and pre-
scribed length of life, and it is by the
study of these details that we learn
how to avoid the transmission of con-
tagious illnesses. We know, for in
stance, that to get typhoid fever or
cholera the microbe has to be taken
into the system in the form of i'm
pure food or water, and so every year
more and more precautions are taken
to have the water-supplies of our big
| cities free from contamination, and
stricter attention is given to the purity
| of our food. An outbreak of typh old
fever is no longer considered. in the
| old sense, visitation of Providen )"
| but is recognized as a shame and re-
| Election on local conditions, wherever
! it occurs.
Consumption and whooping-cough,
we know, are passed from one person
to another by means of the expectora-
| lions, and it is to be hoped that in the
near future we shall put this knowl-
| edge to better use than we do at pres
| emit, and protect ourselves by much
more stringent rules. General ex-
| pectoration is public offense and
| menace, and should be made a penal
matter. The danger with expectorated
| matter is that it dries and is then
scattered by the wind so that one and
all must take the risks. This outrage
should be so handled by all in authori-
ty that in the near future the present
condition of our cars and streets will
seem like an evil nightmare.
Scarlet fever and diphtheria are
caught by any emanations from the

SON can cling for months and years
to clothes and toys and books, and
those things should always be de-
stroyed if they have come in contact
with the sick, and sick-rooms should

THE WORLDS PEARLS.
Nest of Them are found in the Wa
tiers of Thursday Island, in the
south Pacific Ocean.

A pearling lugger is lying at an
Choir off Thursday island, Torres
strait, South Pacific ocean. This wide
expanse of dimpled water is the most
important pearl fishing territory in
the world. The floor of the ocean here
is inlaid with shells worth 1000 ton,
and full many a gem of purest ray
serene" lies on that luxurious bed
that is worth $4,000 in the markets.
Thursday island lies between New
Guinea and Australia, in a strait 80
miles wide that is dotted with islands
and coral reefs. There is big island
for every day in the week, but Thurs
day island guards the strait and has
a fort, harbor and town, the lat
ter literally paved with pearl shells.
1t is on the beds and reefs of coral that
pearl oyster thrives best, and there
it grows to an enormous size, some
having been found that measured a
foot and a half across. More than
$1.000,000 worth of these shells are
shipped annually from Thursday is
land, and $50 such luggers are engaged
in pearl fishing and shell fishing.
The japanese are the best divers
for pearls, but there are also many
South Sea islanders, Malays, Danes
and Swedes engaged in the work of
going under water and hunting for
gems. Each boat has an air-pumping
apparatus to supply the diver when
under water. With leaden shoes on
his feet and glass front in his he'll
met, the diver walks about on the
ocean floor, fills his bag with shells
and signals to be drawn up. The bust
ness is dangerous, for there are sharks
and poisonous fish. To the sharks the
men throw chunks of salt beef. Then
there is the squid or devil fish that has
the unpleasant habit of clouding the
water with an inky fluid so he can ap-
proach his victim unseen and crush
him with his tentacles. The shells are
all opened by white men in the pres
ence of the managers, for no one knows
which shell may contain costly gem.
