PEARLS GROWING SCARCE
Business Is Gradually on Decline and
Few Good Pearls are Found.

rev 6ooo FeafiS are ouno.
Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 7.-B. j.
Best pearl buyer of Newport was in
the city yesterday and was seen at the
Capital hotel, asserting about gallon
of slugs, which he said he had just
bought for $40. Il will probably get
enough good and passable pearls out
of this pile of stuff to make 200 or 300
per cent on the investment said he.
Probably fifty tons of shells were
opened to get these. Sometimes two or
three pearls are found in shell. and
again thousand are opened and none
are found at all. The per cent of the
shells that must be opened to find
really valuable pearl is much greater.
| would not advise anyone to go into
the pearl business. although many
have made fortunes in it. Then. again,
thousands have lost fortunes. The
pearl business is playing out. No
more than twenty-five tons of shells
a week are received now at the New
port button factory, and last spring
they used to come in as high as 100
tons day. No pearls are being found
in the St. Francis and they are about
gone on the Black and upper White
rivers. There is still some profitable
pearling at DeValls Bluff, but it is not
nearly what it used to be, there. and
what are found there. are not of as
good quality. The market for Arkan-
sas pearls have kept up remarkably
well. and the prices have ruled
strong.

ALL=YEAR SUMMERS
Earth's Atmosphere Gradually and
Continually Becoming Warmer

| scientists in Germany and France
are now discussing it with much in
terest.
Some agree with the learned Swede
others do not. Among those whom the
theory has especially interested is
Professor Berthelot probably the
greatest authority on light and heat in
France.
professor Arrhenius. he says. ''is
distinguished scientist and his theory
is certainly original, since he is the
first to introduce the human factor in
this great problem.
This he does when he says that the
temperature can be affected by the
combustion of coal. Now, it is Ger
tain that carbonic acid has the faculty
of retaining the solar heat
When the rays of the sun enter
room through a closed window the
heat which they bring stays there. be-
cause the glass has the property OF
letting the heat pass through it. In
the atmosphere carbonic acid does the
duty of glass.
1T retains solar heat and therefore
the more carbonic acid is spread
through it the more elevated the at
mosphere will become.
'On the other hand. Prof. Arrheni-
us,s statement that the atmosphere
is constantly becoming warmer cannot
at present be verified.
DO we know the mean temperature
of the globe? We must wait 100 or
200 years before we can speak authori-
tatiyely on this point.
Moreover. there is law of ma

equilibrium of the earth to be ever

acid in the atmosphere were to be
increased, it is only reason.

If Professor Svante Arrhenius speaks
truly a coal strike will cause very lit
tie uneasiness to our descendants
We shudder to think of winter
without coal. he says, but they will
have little difficulty in keeping them.
selves warm.
Whatever Professor Arrhenius says
on the subject is worthy of attention.
since he is one of the best scientists
in Europe and has for years been a
professor of physics at the University
Of Stockholm.
The other day while addressing his
class, he pointed out how difficult it
was to obtain coal in some regions at
present and startled his hearers by
maintaining that the atmosphere of
the earth is gradually and continuous
~ becoming warmer; that in conse
quence the time is bound to come
when there will be no really cold
weather.
He admits that the change is taking
place slowly; indeed, he says that the
elevation of temperature does not eX-
ceed one-thousandth of degree each
year.
That therefore 10000 years must
elapse before a reduction of ten de-
grees of cold
All this time. he optimistically asserts
the temperature will be rising. and
though the gain may not be appreciate
ed for centuries the gradual change
will. nevertheless, prove a distinct
benefit to the human race.
According to him the industrial de
velopment during the last century has
been so great that an enormous quanti-
ty of coal has been burned, and as a
result large quantity Of carbonic gas
is being released.
At the close Of a thousand wears.
he says. the quantity will be equal to
that which the atmosphere contains
A portion he admits, will be alb
sorbed by vegetation. but. nevertheless
he is positive that about sixth will
remain in suspension in the atmos-
phere cad that to this fraction will
be due the elevation of the tempera-
ture.
This elevation, he SAYS. must con-
tinue while coal is burned as extern !
sively as it is at present
1t follows from his argument that |
coal strike, even if universal. cannot ,
cause much suffering q few thousand
years from now.
Professor Arrhenius's reputation is
so high that this remarkable statement I
attracted immediate attention and

and 1870 Mr.. Aldrich was chief clerk of the
Iowa house of representatives He was
one of the commissioners appointed by
President Grant to settle the Dcs Moincs
river land troubles. He was a member OF
the United States geologic survey In 1879.
Eighteen years ago the state legislature
accepted the gift of MIR. and Mrs. Aldrich
of their splendid collection of autographs
and manuscripts and 1t was agreed that
the collection should be kept intact and
in proper cases. The collection remained
in the state library for several years, but
in 1892 the historical department of Iowa
was established and MIR. Aldrich was made
curator. In 1899 a building was erected
by the state, which is but a part of the
building planned and which will ultimately
be one of the finest historical buildings
of the country.
Mr.. Aldrich, as curator of the historical
department., is d~evoting his life to his.
torical research and collection. In his
painstaking, persistent, enthusiastic way
he has made wonderful progress. His
original collection is being added to year
by year and new features are being intro
duced. Here are autographs of hundreds
of the men known to fame the world over
CT this generation and of the past, in all
walks of life and of all kin's. The col
lection of manuscripts relating directly to
Iowa affairs is increasing. Mr.. Aldrich has
ransaeked the records at Washington for
manuscripts and valuable letters. Then he
has a great collection of natural history
specimens, of geologic specimens. of
ancient pottery, OF Indian curios, of guns
and weapons Of all kinds, of curious artil-
lery from all parts of the world, of char
acteristic western vehicles and implements
and utensils illustrating early western life.
The collection of historical portraits is
very fine and is increasing rapidly. The
file of newspapers of early Iowa is the
most complete eXtant and the collection of
historical books is large. Everything re
lating to Iowa history is being gathered
in the Hall of History to form the
nucleus of a great historical collection
worthy of the state of Iowa.
1t is to the genius and devotion of
Charles Aldrich that the state Of Iowa
owes the establishment of a work which
is destined to continue increasing in i'm
portance through the years. He is living

he had bought in London and a roll Of

Thirty-third street. AS soon as the
colonel took the stand the lawyer for the
nurse asked:
you were suffering from too high living
at this time, were you not?"
"'Well, l didn't live in the cellar, l can
tell YOU was the answer.
"'But you had been drinking too much?'
"'No, sir, l had not been drinking, al
though l am not a bigoted teetotaller,'
was the prompt reply.
But this watch-you got that for a
poker debt persisted the lawyer, who was
beginning to get red behind the ears.
mo, it was too honest a watch for
that. 1t had an open face chucked the
witness.
"The lawyer blushed up to the roots of
his hair, took a hitch in his suspenders
and then went at the complainant fe-
rociously with this question:
but, look here! Are you perfectly
sure that this man took your watch?
Could not some one else have stolen it?'
If you had ever called on me- quietly
remarked the colonel, 4 might have be-
lived you had stolen it,
THE lawyer thereupon gave up the
cross-examination."

FEW men of the west have had
their life work crowned so APP
propriately as Charles Aldrich
HEEH49RH of Iowa. He is a newspaper
- man. a true journalist of the old
school, educated at the case and developed
by years of arduous labor in his chosen
field. He is one of the pioneer newspaper
editors of Iowa, his career dating from
1857. Years ago he began to take a deep
interest in the history of his state, in
those things which are so easily forgotten,
but which go to make up the story of the
states grandeur. About the same time he
became a collector. He gathered auto
graphs and historical document and pho
tographs of great men. His career had
given him a wide acquaintance. He pre-
pared a collection which was Of rare merit.
AS the years went on his collection Of au-
tographs and manuscripts became so val
liable that he desired the state to take
care of the same for the benefit of future
generations. Out of this has grown the
Iowa historical department and the beau
tiful Hall of History" which is being
rapidly filled with the choicest treasures
of the state and over which Mr.. Aldrich
presides. 1t is a natural outcome of his
life work, his hopes and ambitions; and
Mr.. Aldrich is devOting the closing years
of an active life to this work which means
so much to the future of Iowa and for
which he will be remembered through
many generations.
Charles Aldrich was born in Chautauqua
county, New York, in 1928, and in 1916 he
entered the office of the Western Literary
Messenger in Buffalo to learn the printers
trade. He followed his vocation in various
towns of New York and Pennsylvania and
established the Cattaraugus Sachem at
Randolph, n. Y, in 1850. In 1857 he came
to Iowa and established the Hamilton
Freeman at Webster CITY. then a village.
He at Cnce took a high position in politics
and gave his support to James w. Grimes
for senator. Subsequently Mr.. Aldrich was
editor of the Dubuque Times and later
bought and edited the Marshall Times, now
the Marshalltown Times-Republican. At
other times he has been connected editori-
ally with the Waterloo Courier, Council
Bluffs Nonpareil and the Chicago Inter
Ocean. He locked up his office in Webster
City and went to war as an adjutant in the
Thirty-seCond Iowa. In 1860, 1862, 1866
