When a boy Of 10, DIR. W. H. Per
kins, FRS, was assistant to Professor
A. Hoffman, who had charge Of the
Royal College Of Chemistry. He spent
all his evenings in research work, and
one day the, professor suggested that
he should try to produce quinine by ar
tifcial means. The experiment failed,
and the lad was preparing to make an
other attempt when at the side of the
glass vessel he saw a new color-a
shade Of purple never fixed before. It
was mauve. DIR. Perkins patented the
process and, with his father, got up
works near Harrow for the manufacture
of aniline dyes. x
At a gathering of DR.. Perkins
friends, who had met to discuss what
form memorial to his discoveries
should take, it was suggested that a
Perkins research fund should be found,
ed and that his portrait in oils and a
marble bust of DR.. Perkins should be
presented to him. :

Berlin, Feb. 17.-Emperor William,
leading a dashing charge aboard a
snorting, lunging motor car, is the up
to-date spectacle .Germany's next war
will afford. The first armored and
armed automobile in the world, fully
equipped for field service, was exhibit
ed at the annual German automobile
show in Berlin this month. Streaked
in the rakish drab Of the German navy,
with quick firing Mausers pointing
menacingly from front and rear, this
modern war chariot of the kaiser looks
for all the world like an armored cruis-
er on wheels and strikes the eye as an
exceedingly formidable, practical and
workmanlike mechanism. It represents
an investment Of $4,000. The "war
automobile will see. active service and
undergo its baptism Of fire. at this
year s maneuvers Of the German army,
unless Morocco calls the kaiser's legions
to battle meantime. Eventually the
entire German army will be supplied
with types similar to that portrayed
herewith. .:.

OF MODERN
JEWELS FOR A TURK
Potentate Has $4,000 Piece of
Jewelry Made, Heavy
y u.
with Gems.

New York Herald Special Cable Service. Copy
right, 1908, by the New York Herald.
London, March 3.-Londsn has the
distinction Of having produced perhaps
the most magnificent piece Of jewelry
made in modern times. A Turkish po-
tentate commissioned Messrs. Dobson,
Jewellers, Of Piccadilly, to produce a
plastron Of surprising beauty, rivallng
the Jewels of the "Arabian Nights" in
splen9or. From his own treasures he
supplied number of beautiful pearls
the size of small nuts, and single dla-
mond Of wonderful brilliance, leaving
Messrs. Dobson to furnish the rest OF
the Jewels. There are no fewer than
eight thousand brilliants, besides emer-
aids and rubies. Arthur Dobson said, IN
showing it:
GIVE submitted several sketches, and,
after the approval Of one, we com
menced the work two years ago, and it
is just completed"
Drawing aside silk curtain, he re-
vealed, lying on a velvet background,
a jewel of almost indescribable beauty.
1t measures 2 feet 4 inches in length,
and is made to button around the neck
by a wonderful circle Of diamonds,
spreading out on the breast and show
ing butterflies Of jewels daintily poised
on glittering flowers, surrounding a
centerpiece Of the Turkish crescent in
pearls in three rows, each as large as a
Barcelona nut. The crescent itself is
the size Of teaplate, and at the top
is the sign manual Of the Sultan of
Turkey, in emeralds, and verse of the
Koran in rubies fills the center. From
the crescent, on ropes of glittering
gems, hangs a square medallion the size
Of an ordinary cigaret case, on which,
standing on an emerald mound, is the
Turkish flag in rubies, the whole being
backed by diamonds. Below is sus-
pended in a diamond frame a miniature,
carte de visite size, of the purchaser,
and completing the whole scheme, at
the extreme bottom, is pearl as large
as an acorn.
Every piece can be detached from
the others and worn separately, or, with
truly Oriental magnifcence, the whole
can be suspended from the neck like a
trembling, quivering blaze of fire. The
value of the treasure is estimated at
$50, 900.
King Edward had the jewel taken to
Buckingham palace and expressed
pleasure that English workmen had pro-
duced such fine jewelry. On picking it
up, his majesty laughingly remarked
that he was glad he was not forced to
wear anything so gorgeous or heavy.

EDWARD CALLS Halt
IN INDIAN DISPUTE
Growing Influence Is Exerted by
the British Throne -Curzon
Is Furious.

Special Gable to The journal.
London, March 3.-The most inter
esting feature of home or foreign poll
tics is the growing influence exerted
by the throne. A radical government
might be expected rather to resist royal
provocative, but the king has used per-
suasion stronger than when the con-
servatives were in power. It was ex-
,erted in the controversy over the In
dian army. I have the best reason to
know that Secretary John Morley was
fully resolved to reverse Broderick g
policy, which esta blished the Kitchener
autoeracy in India. If his intention
had been carried out, Lord Kitchener
would certainly have resigned, as would
Lord Mimic, who was easily captured
by Kitchener within three weeks Of his
arrival in Calcutta. Morley said he
did not care and was determined to
have no military rule in India. Then the
king interviewed and refused absolutely
to sanction his policy.
Increasing bitterness leading to more
designations is the result of the COM
promise, which, in Lord Curzon's view,
gives the whole case away to Kitchener.
Curzon is exceedingly angry, and feels
himself the victim of a prolonged in
trigue, but, having no adequate means
of raising the question, he having no
seat either in the house Of lords or the
commons, is compelled to write to the
Times. Altogether it is curious posi-
ton for man who was recently auto
crat over three hundred million people.
His letter to the Times is a brilliant
plea. but it is useless because the Brit
ish public is tired Of the controversy
and willingly accepts Morley's compro-
mise.

REVOLT IN
PROGRESS IN IRELAND.
William O'Brien Issues a State
ment on Situation in the
Emerald Isle.

London, March 3.-The following
statement has been issued by William
O'Brien, NJ. P, one of the Irish leaders

Britain:
''Tnere has been revolution going
on peacefully in Ireland. The policy
Of Cancellation is now almost univer-
sally accepted by the nationalists and
by a rapidly increasing number of
unionists, both of the landlord class
and Orange democracy of Belfast. The
change has attracted attention in Eng
mad owing to the fact that for the
first time differences among leading
Irishmen have been decided by the
progress Of intelligent opinion, witho$
any public conflict. But everybody in
Ireland knows wheat change has
taken place. 49,.
"The victory in West Belfast was
the most notable event of the general
election for the nationalists, and at the
banquet the other night to celebrate
the victory, it was freely admitted that

"The advantages Of the growing al
lance between the Irish unionists and
the nationalists were cordially acknowl-
edged, not merely by Mr.. Redmond, but
by those who only few months ago
were conscientiously opposed to the
policy of Cancellation. The new atti-
tude Of the nationalist leaders will do
much to remove any remaining friction
in the nationalist party, and will facili-
tate the new government enormously in
dealing with the Irish situation

BOGUS Interviews
ANNOY Pope Plus
Three Alleged Statements from
the Pontiff Denounced as
a. Spurious.

BY Publishers Press. st<~
Rome, March g. spurious interviews
with the pope are causing his holiness
the greatest annoyance. Three Of these
have appeared in the course of the
week.
The longest and most astonishing was
in the London Daily Express. It occu-
pied two columns on the first page and
was adorned with double column
!" Scare head. It purported to give
the pope's views on the delicate ques-
ton Of Frances papal relations.
The two other interviews were less
extraordinary, but they ostensibly un-
folded quite fully the holy father s
views respecting many important mat
tiers. It is alleged that none Of these
conversations took place.
The vatican authorities will issue q
warning to the Catholics Of the world
that utterances attributed to the pope
in alleged interviews must be regarded
with the deepest suspicion.

NAVY'S FLOUR rs TO
BE PUT UP IN CANS
Tests Show the Millers' Product Keeps
Better in Tin Packages, Especially
in the Tropics.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, March 3.-The navy has
decided, as a result of series of care
full experiments, that hereafter it will
put up -four intended for the service,
especially at far-away stations, in tin
packages, fifty pounds each, hermeti
cally sealed. Difficulty has been ex-
perienced in handling and preserving
flour contained in commercial pack
ages. 1t deteriorated rapidly, espe-
cially in the tropics. The experiments
with square tin packages extended
over several months, and the reports
are unanimous in favor of the change.
This new method will increase the cost
slightly, but the department" will save
ultimately on account of the quantity
of flour that will escape condemnation
in survey, and further because of the
low price that will be given for the
much larger quantities that will be
bought at one time.

TO TEMPT AQUATIC FOWL
GAINESVILLE Clubs VIII Plant Wild Rice in
Lake koshkonong. l.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, March 3.-Members of
the Carcajou and Black Hawk clubs are
planning to purchase large quantities Of
wild rice with which to plant Lake Kosh-
konong in the spring, in the hope Of
tempting aquatic fowl to stop there in
greater numbers. For many years this
lake was one of the best hunting places
in southern Wisconsin, but carp which
had been placed in the lake, destroyed the
wild rice and the game birds left that VIZ
entity.
In the last two years thousands Of tons
of carp have been seined out of the lake,
and it is now thought that by planting the
wild rice the lake may again become the
breeding place for ducks and geese.
