THE ORIGIN OF PEARLS.
ThSt They Are Created by the Actions of n Worm.

For many years the world has be- lieyed that pearls are the result of a mechanical injury to the shellfish in whose shells they are found. The the ory has been that grain of sand, or something irritating like it, gets into the shell and that the mollusc throws off a secretion to cover it, which finally becomes the pearl.
 The world has accepted this explana- tion, and practically all the text books describe the formation of the pearl in that way. Yet everybody who handles pearls knows that there is no grain of sand or any similar body in them.
 Now Prof. H. l.. Jameson, of the Geological society, of London, asserts that the theory is all wrong. He says that both his studies and his experi- ments prove that the pearl is formed, not because of an injury from inor~ ganic substances, but because of irri- tation caused by worm.
 This worm, according to Prof. Jame- son, is not 8 sea worm. but para site of the cider duck. When the ducks swim in the sea, the eggs of the para site are deposited in the ocean and sink to the bottom. There many of them drift with other food into the currents that flow over the pearl mussel and pearl oyster beds and so they get into the shells.
 Here they are matched out. The young of the parasites then surround themselves with curious, transpar- ent, almost invisible sac, and other parasites are born in turn. They crawl around the sea bottom till they finally enter the pearl Shells and bore them selves into the mantle, which is the skin between the shell and the body of the shellfish.
 In this place the parasites discharge small lime kernels, which irritate the mantle of the shellfish until it, too, be- gins to discharge a similar lime forma- tion.
 Sometimes the parasite escapes be- fore the lime wall has been built com pletely around it. Then the pearl forms itself around the little kernels discharged by it. Sometimes the worm is imprisoned and dies, and Jameson says that he has been able to find the remains of such worms in pearls.

CAT STOLE DOUGHNUTS.
And Then Divided Her PIunder with Dog Friend Who Was AL
 ways Near Her.

This is true story that my grand mother told me about her eat and dog. She used to find the cover off her doughnut jar, and also noticed that her doughnuts disappeared.
 One day she heard noise, and found that her cat was on the shelf where the doughnuts were kept.
 Then it put it's paw in the jar and drew out a doughnut and pushed it off the shelf; and the dog, who was looking up at the cat, caught the doughnut in it's mouth and ate it.
 When they found they were caught, they acted very guilty.
 Then there was cat who did not allow any cat or dog in her yard, and had a special dislike to the eat who thought it owned the next yard.
 One day the latter cats mistress went away to have good time for several weeks, and left her eat with no food, as people too often do.
 Then the eat, who before this would not allow any eat in her yard, actual ly coaxed the abandoned cat into the outer shed where Ter meals were served, and fed the cat in that way till the people came back. After that it would not allow the eat there any more than before-Our Fourfooted Friends

WAS HIS OWN VICTIM.
Through Wrong End and Was Easily Captured.

The pet monkey of a German profess sor, having made his escape, climbed into tree and defied all attempts to catch him.
 We'll knowing the initiative habits of the animal, his master hit on a curious plan to regain his pet.
 He looked at the monkey through an opera glass, pointing the small end at him for some time, and then he retired to a short distance, leaving the opera glass on the ground.
 The initiative monkey descended from the tree, and taking the opera glass, gazed after similar manner, at his master, who seemed to the de- luded ape to be half a mile distant.
 The monkey, still looking through the same end of the opera glass, sup posed his master was several hundred yards distant, when the latter, reach ing out, secured the chain and led the victim of an optical illusion back to his cage.

AERIAL AUTOMOb!
It VIII Remain suspended Tn the at Height of Two or Three
 Meters.

There is now being constructed In Brussels new aerial machine the plan of which is considerably more ambi- tious than any of those that have been evolved in the empire of the air" up to the present The inventor, M. Vil- lard, a Frenchman, B years old, who makes his home in Belgium, is aiming to solve the problem of aerial auto mobilism is, to create type of automobile that will remain sus- pended in the air at height of two or three meters, in such way as to be able to benefit in speed by the diminu- ton in the resistance to the movement. The reasoning is that resistance is less on steel surface than on the ground, less on water than on steel, and still less in the air than on water.
 It is said that this "aerial automo- bile" can be raised over obstacles, such as hedges, houses or trees. M Willard

INSTINCT OF BIRDS.
1t Enables Them to Hide Their Nests So SkillfuIIy That En emies
 Cannot Find Them.

The brilliantly plumed birds of the tropical forests are exposed to many dangers, and if they were not gifted with queer yet useful instincts they would fall ready victims to their en- emies. Chattering monkeys and big snakes steal and eat their eggs, while their fedglings are preyed upon by foes on every side.
 But it takes a sly monkey or snake to get ahead of the mother tailor bird. She hides her nest so skillfully that her enemies cannot find it, no matter how hard they try. This she does by using her long, slender bill as needle.
 With the tough fiber of a parasite plant abundant in the tropics as thread she sews q dead leaf taken from the ground to a living one near the end of a slender and hanging branch, and between these leaves she builds her nest, where neither mon- key nor snake can approach, because the branch will not bear their weight.
 The Indian sparrow is equally inge- nious. She makes her nest of grass, which she weaves like cloth and in the shape of bottle. Then she covers the outside with firefies to scare away the bats that prey upon her young ones.
 The oriole of North America makes its nest of hemp, woven like a cloth. The pincpine of Africa is called the felt bird, because it makes it's nest in the style usually adopted by felt makers,

THE HOT-wATER CURE.
Throat or Serious Congestion of the Lungs.

Hot water is not only a relief for many ills, but from it's quick applica tion many cures are effected. 1t is so easy to obtain hot water in these days of gas ranges that many q severe il- ness may be averted if the application is only given in time.
 There is nothing so promptly cuts short congestion of the lungs or sore throat as hot water. The great thing is to apply it in time, and then to be thorough in the application.
 For a toothache or neuralgia hot waterwill usually afford prompt relief. towel folded several times and dipped into scalding hot water, and then wrung out, should be laid upon the painful part. The same treatment acts like magic in applying the heated towel to the stomach for collie.
 Headaches most always yield to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck.
 A soft pack is the most effective method known for alleviating infiam- nation and getting rid or irritation in rheumatic gout. To afford relief every night piece of flannel should be ap- piled. This flannel should be saturat- ed in brine and then wrapped around the affected joint or joints. The fan nel should then be covered with rub Der or oil-silk bandage. Both should be kept on all night.-Cincinnat En- ouirer

much as that of prince to the Ameri- can woman, and that of attache is equal to a German baron." Moreover, he finds that American women, while they nrarry foreign diplomats, never cease working for the interests of the land of their first affections.
 He takes the American woman seri- ously and as power, and goes on to note the position she holds to-day. In England Mrs. Chamberland and Lady Curzon wield immense influence. In France the wives of Ribot and d'Es- tournelles de Constant are called femmes de government of the future, for Ribot is probable premier and Constant coming minister of for eign affairs.
 While the writer admits the Ameri- can women have acquired influential social positions abroad through bril- liant marriages, he does not consider all such unions dangerous. But the new aspirations toward diplomatic al- dances fill him with alarm, as Ameri- can women now know the secrets of in- ternational relations and are working for the benefit of their own country. A friend of the president of the United States, he says, recently said: Do not worry over the Venezuelan situa- tion-our women are working for us." This mysterious speech, the writer says, is explained when one remem- bers that the wives of the English, French and German ambassadors, the three diplomats concerned in the Ven- szuelan affair at Washington, are all American women.
 If, the writer continues, one were to make list of all the American women married to attaches and minor govern ment officials with a future before them in foreign countries, one would be astonished. He is more alarmed at the entry of American women into in ternational affairs than at the doings of the American trusts abroad. He evi- dently considers Mime.

LIVELY JUMPING JACK.
If You Follow Directions Here Given You Can Duplicate the One

Look at this picture and see if you think you could make a dancing jack like it. Of course you can; all you need to do it is piece of very thin cardboard, as thin as visiting card; four large round matches, not parlor matches, but the old-fashioned kind; four pins, and little sealing wax.
 First draw and color separately on the card the body and head of the fig ure, and then the two arms and the two legs, and cut them out neatly. Then place the body on the table, and

arrange under it, in their proper places, the two arms and the two legs, giving them position of rest, the arms down along the body, the legs drawn together.
 Now to put the limbs and the body together you stick pin through both at the joints. Then fold in two one of the matches, so that its two parts may be as close together as possible. The match will be only partly broken, for some of the fibers of wood will bend, but not break.
 Place the match thus bent in such a way that, the two branches being united by drop of sealing wax, the one to the arm, the other to the body, the part that makes joining shall be in close contact with the pin. Do this with the other arm, and the two legs and the dancing jack will be fin ished.
 Now let us give "Jack" some life. Pour very thin layer of water into a plate, and lay your jack in it, the match side down. In moment or two, the fibers of wood that are bent but not broken will absorb enough water to make them swell, and that will cause them to make an effort to straighten out. As they do this, they will give our little jack series of jerky movements that are very anus ing. He will throw out his arms and his legs just like the little fellows that are put together with strings Brooklyn Eagle.

Dog That Husks Corn.

One of the latest novelties that has come from the banks of the Wabash is a real live dog that can husk corn. This intelligent and industrious beast is the property of Joseph Ditfenbaugh, who lives on the Stevens farm, near Andrews. Ill. This corn husker is nine months old pup, who watched MT. Diffenbaugh husk corn for a few days and then started out on his own hook, tearing the corn from the ears with more ease and speed than the ordinary farm hand. He wasn't very careful in piling the corn and the husks, but he stripped the husks clean. This unique corn husk- CT then followed the men to the field and did work right along with them, and seemed to enjoy his novel situation as much as the water spaniel does hunting.

The Power of Egg Shells.

Most people are aware of the pow CT of egg shells to resist external pressure on the ends, but not many would credit the results of tests re- gently made, which appear to be gem uine. Eight ordinary hens eggs were submitted to pressure applied exter- nally all over the surface of the shell, and the breaking pressures varies be- tween 400 pounds and 675 pounds per square inch. With the stresses ap- piled internally to f2 eggs, these gave way at pressures varying between 32 pounds and 65 pounds per square inch. The pressure required to crush the eggs varied between 40 pounds and 75 pounds. The average thick ness of the shells was 13-1,00 inch.

Next bore hole in the middle of sheet of cardboard and, after you have drawn a piece of twine through the hole, knot it at one end, and then carefully close with wax that portion of the hole which the knot does not fill.
 Finally, lay the cardboard on the glass and press it down around the edge. The glass can now be raised in the air by the piece of twine, and, if suspended from hook, can be made to swing to and fro like pendulum De troit Free Press.

To get the eggs of new species of mosquitoes inhabiting South Carolina swamp, Dr. w. c. Coker, of the University of North Carolina, had to borrow the aid of horse. The horse was driven into the low ground haunted by the mosquitoes, and when he came out the insects were drill ing through his skin. They were carefully removed, put in a tin buck ct, fed daily with blood from the hand, and after about five days, to the doctors great delight, they laid their eggs in the water. It was to procure and study these eggs that he had taken all his trouble.

HOW to Take Castor oil.

A simple method of taking castoR oil, according to Medical News, with out producing any nauseating effects, is to instruct the patient to wash out the mouth with water as hot as can be borne, and then swallow the oil, and follow this by rinsing out the mouth we'll with hot water. The first swallow of the water cleanses the mouth, makes the membranes hot, so that the oil does not stick, and con- seouently slips down easily.
