Tapeworms Make Pearls.

Professor Herdman's recent in
vestigations on the subject of pearl
formation have yielded some inter
esting conclusions. In the great ma
jority of cases it appears that the
pearl is due to the presence in the
oyster of marine tapeworm. When
the spherical larva of the worm
dies nacreous matter Is deposited
around it, and the resulting mass is
known as a pearl. TIE life history
of the tapewOrm is cor tinued in the
bodies of certain species of filefsh
which prey on the Oysters. These
fetish, again, are devoured by fish
eating rays or sharks. In these lat
ter the tapeworm becomes mature
and sets free numerous embryOs
into the sea. These finally enter the
oysters and so complete the life cy-
cle.-LondOn Globe.

MYSTERY OF SPACE.
The Sun Would Be Hardly Visible
ALONGSIDE the PIeiades.

AlongSIGc the FleIaoeS.
If our sun were removed to the
Pleiades it would hardly be visible in
an opera glass, with which nearly
100 stars can be seen in the clus-
ter. Sixty or seventy Pleiades sur
pass our sun in briIliancy, Alcyone
being LOCO times more brilliant,
Electra 500 times and Maia nearly
400. Sirius itself takes a subordi-
nate rank when compared with the
five most brilliant members OF u
group the real magnifcence of
which we can thus in some degree
apprehend.
If we seek to know the dimen-
siOns of the cluster itself we are
met with many difficulties, but on
the assumption that it is approx
mately spherical in shape We can
calculate its diameter to be over
1000, 100000 miles. If We think
of the dimensions of our solar sys-
tenn by themselves or in relation to
terrestrial matter they appear stu
pendously enormous. Neptune, the
most distant known member, has
an orbit over 5,0OO,000,0O0 miles
across, but the solar system is to the
Pleiades but a Lilliputian to Brob-
dingnagian, is but as a micrObe to a
mountain, for a sphere the size of
the solar system would, if it were
spherical and its diameter that of
the orbit of Neptune, be relatively
SO minute that it could be contained
more than 100000, 100000 times in
sphere the size of the Pleiades.
In other words, the limits of the
Pleiades could contain $50 solar sys-
tens as many times over as there
are miles between Neptune and the
sun.
1t must not be forgotten that,
though there are $500 stars in the
cluster, vet with such dimensions
for the entire group vast distances
must separate the stars from one an
other. In fact, 1890 spheres, each
with a diameter of 3,O00,000,00O
miles, could be contained in the linn
its assigned to the group, and as
Stunning equal distribution Of the
stars in the group each would be at
the center of a sphere 3,O00,00O,000
miles across ard therefore a light
journey of 185 days from its nearest
neighbor.

BUILD NEW SCHOONER
LIndSfrOm ShipbuiIding Co. Receives
Contract for Another Vessel,

PORTLAND. Aug 11-Oliver J. Olson, of
the San Francisco shipping firm of Olso II
u Mahoney, which operates a Eumt er of
steam schooners and sailing vessels in
the lumber carrying trade along the
coast, was visitor in Portland a few
hours yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Olson
is on his way home from A Der leen, and
during his stay in this city outlined some
OF the plans OF his company.
lie has just completed contract with
the Lindstrom Shipbuilding company of
Aberdeen, Wash, for the construction
OF new steam schooner, which is to ply
in the lumber trade between Portland
and San Francisco. This vessel is TO
have carrying capacity OF 100000 feet
OF lumber, and is to be completed by
January Z. She will be 1SO feet long, SO
feet beam, and will have 13 feet depth
OF hold. The Lindstrom company only
has the contract for the construction of
the hull and the boilers and machinery
OF the vessel are to be installed by the
willamette Steel q Iron works OF this
city.
The new vessel is to have superior
equipment over that OF the other steam
schooners at present plying along the
coast, for the reason that she is to havs
two sets of cargo winches, instead OF one
as the others are supplied. She will
have two cargo derricks at each mast.
These appliances will enable the vessel
to load and unload much quicker than
at present. 1t is estimated that with
her new equipment the new vessel will
save day and half both at loading
and unloading.

Hicks, but the supreme court finds a
specific contract for the delivery of the
property to Peterson, and orders the

injury case in which the respondent en-
p'oyed as millhand in the appellant g

based principally on the ground that the
lower court refused to give certain in.

CAN ROOSEVELT DECLINE?

The question has been asked whether
President Roosevelt may not be COM
PEELED to accept a reelection. Legal
authorities are cited to show that
citizen may be compelled to serve the
state, not only by bearing arms or by
summons of a sheriff, to aid in making
arrests and Quelling riots, but in the
discharge Of the duties Of a civil Of
fee. There are exceptions, as he notes,
where one elected to two offices may
choose the one he will accept, but
election to a state office and a federal
office at the same time would NOT
constitute a condition under which
the choice might be exercised. In
other words, Mr.. Roosevelt couG not
refuse to be president, if he were elect
ed, by at the same time getting him
self elected town supervisor. 1t is, of
course, unlikely that such measures
of last resort would be appealed to to
induce Mr.. Roosevelt to serve another
term at this time, but it suggests how
popular he is with the people, and how
highly his services are valued. Not
since the time of Washington, and not
oven then, has there been so much dis
cussion of the desirability Of continu-
ing in the office of president a man
who has already filled two terms.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Besides the usual staff of stenogra-
pliers, nine secret service officers Will
be on duty at Oyster Bay during the
presidents vacation. They are in
charge Of james Sloan and Stephen
Cornell, the White House men who are
detailed regularly to look after the
president. Chief Wilkie selected the
men, and they know personally nearly
all people likely to call at Sycamore
Hill. Ordinarily nobody is permitted
to approach the presidents home un-
less he may have an engagement with
the president, made through Secretary
Loeb.
Such regulation Is necessary that
the president may not be overrun with
callers whose business is not OF suft1-
cient Importance to demand his per-
sonal attention. 1t occasionally hap
whom he may desire to see, call at
Sycamore Hill without previously hav-
ing made definite engagement. In
such instances Sloan and Council exer-
else their discretion about admitting
them. They make no mistakes. They
are not there to make mistakes.
The President's Guard.
It is practically impossible for WIS.,
itor to reach the president at night
during his sojouru at Sycamore Hill
no hoJ o.
ment No discretionary authority is
lodged with the officers on duty at
night.
The duties performed by the secret
service at Oyster Bay are exacting, but
not onerous on the individual officers.
The men are on duty in tricks and
have ample time for rest and recrea-
ton.
The president always has been just
little restless under the constant
guard by which he is surrounded, but
his friends and advisers will not con-
sent to its removal, and he submits as
gracefully as possible. Many times.
however, in the course Of the summer
he goes away from Sycamore Hill en-
tirely unguarded. He takes long walks
through the woods or goes for boat
rides on the sound or rides on horse
back many miles from his home. On
these excursions he is unaccOmpanied
by secret service officers. The thought
Of personal danger never occurs to
him.
Work of the Fish Commission.
According to the statistics OF the
fish commission, total Of 1, 759, 49, 39
food fishes were Matched and distrib-
uted in 1904. In previous years the
distribution has been as follows: 1885,
liz, $3.50, OS3; 1890, 37O.5 600; 1895, &c.
915,S52; 1899, 1,O56, 81 1893; 1900, 1,164,-

543, 374, and 1903, 1,226,O57 ,475.
In 1890 it cost 1896 per million to
hatch and distribute fishes by the gov
eminent. but the work has been SO
thoroughly studied and systematized
by the officials connected with the fish
commission that they had reduced the
cost per 100000 to 1923 in 1905.
