The means of ascertaining the genu-

while the holes which in the real pearl

pearls are like hollow spheres of glass
colored internally with a coating lmi-
tating the orient of natural pearl.
The manufacture of these articles
embraces TWO series of Opcrations-the
production of the sphere and the intro

produced by the glassblower, who by
aid of an enameler's lamp soldiers the
extremity of a tube when the sub
stance IS of the right consistency. In
this way are obtained very regular lit

pearls.
In the more beautiful limitations the

China, II Seems, Counts That Among
Her Many Records.
The Chinese had the first zoo. Men
ageries are thought to owe their ori-
gin partly to the cult Of sacred anil
mails and partly to the ambition Of
rulers TO possess specimens Of rare and
valuable creatures from foreign lands
or savage beasts from their own. In
the simplest forms geological gardens
were one of the earliest developments
Of culture and were familiar to the
Chinese, Indians Greeks, Romans and
pre-Spanish Mexicans In ancient times.
The oldest recorded menagerie is Chi
nese, dating from 1150 B. G. The den
of lions kept by Darius, as described
In the book of Daniel, Is an example
of one of those primitive menageries,
while the cult of sacred white horses
by the ancient Greeks and Romans
and that Of so called white elephants
second type. A live giraffe was re-
ceived at the menagerie Of Schonbrunn
as early as 1923.
The Paris establishment Is regarded
as the earliest entitled to the designa-
tion geological gardens in the mod
ern sense of that term, which owes its
origin, however, to the formation Of
the menagerie In the Regents park.
OF German establishments Of this sort
the one at Berlin Is the earliest.
American zoos notable among which
is New York and Chicago, are among
the completest in the world. - Ex-

FRENCH SENTIMENT.
The Way It Classics the Greatest
Men of the Nation.

The Way II Classics the Greatest
Men of the Nation.
The Petit Parisien in 1906 conducted
a very interesting plebiscite. the object
of which was to ascertain who, in the
opinion of its readers, were the ten
greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth
century More than 100000 votes
were given, and the result was that
Pasteur came out at the top Of the poll
with 1.33S425 votes. The next were
Victor Hugo. who received 1927, ,103
votes; Gambetta 1,155,672, Napoleon
1.11S.O34. Theirs 1,O39, ,453, Lazare Car
not 9J0.772, Curie S51, 1,107, A. Dumas
pere S50G02, Dr. Rou$ G03,941 and
Parmenter 49S,S63. Immediately fol-
lowing were Ampere, the electrician;
BraZza, the explorer; Zola, Lamartine
and Arago.
1t will be observed with interest how
large Is the proportion Of scientific
men in the number OF those who, in
the opinion of Frenchmen, occupy the
highest places in the records of the
country Napoleon is only fourth,
though Pasteur heads the list, and
Curie. Roux and Parmentier, the chem
list who introduced the culture of the
potato into France, are also honored,
while Ampere and Brazza are not far
behind. Literary men and statesmen
dispute with the scientists for the
highest distinctions, and the national
sentiment of France is evidently &C.

NO SENSE OF HUM0R.
b Scientists Criticism Of a Comic
Book For Children.

BOOK OF SnIlCTGn.
Charles Monselet, Frenchman of
letters, published Il comic scientific
dictionary" for the benefit Of children,
who found no little amusement In his
odd accounts of things in the animal
world which We're perfectly familiar
to them, but which were described In
rather fantastic way in N. Monselets
book
The editor of a certain scientific jour
nal however. was much surprised and
when he took up the book. and he
wrote an article about 1t in his paper,
which ran as follows:
"A certain NJ MOnselet has publish
ed n dictionary for the use of children
which contains definitions showing the
most extraordinary ignorance, such as
the following:
'Sardine-A little fish without any
head which lives In oil
"As if fish could live without a
head and In oil.
Another definition:
"'Parrot-A bird somewhat resem-
bling the pigeon, generally green. when
It is not red or yellow or blue. Cocka-
toos sometimes live to be hundred
years old, except when they are stuff
ed, and then there Is no limit TO the
length of their life
"Now, 1t happens that the parrot Is
not pigeon at all and never has the
colors that NJ Monselet gives to him,
and, In short, this NJ. MSnselet knows
no more Of natural history than he has
grains of common sense"

THE LlC0RICE PLANT.
Where II Grows and How Its Black
Juice Is Treated.

Juice Is Treated.
Black licorice is made from the juice
of the licorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent 1t from melting in hot
weather The licorice plant grows for
the most part on the banks Of the
Tigrls and Euphrates rivers, which
flow through immense treeless prairies
of uncultivated land. The climate Of
these great plains Is variable. Half the
year 1t is mild and pleasant, but for
three months it is very cold, and for
three months In summer hot winds
sweep across the country, raising the
temperature to 104 degrees for weeks
at time.
The liCorice plant Is shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva-
ton in situations where its roots can
reach the water. The usual time Of
collecting Is the winter, but roots are
dug all the year around. At first the
root is full of water and must be
allowed to dry, process which takes
nearly year. 1t Is then cut into small
pieces from six inches to foot

kept, and the rotten ones are used for
flrewood
AS the valley of the Euphrates con-
tained one of the earliest civilizations
in the world, 1t is probable that licorice
is about the oldest confectlon extant
and that the taste, which pleases near
ly all children today, was familiar to
the little brown boys and girls OF
Babylon and Nineveh 1900 years ago.

He had taken a dislike to me, and
every time | passed his cage he got
up and paced angrily toward me,

Into the cage of this beast, at the
command of the prince, Turkoman
stepped, armed with a short stick as
big round as his wrist. With this
stick he struck the tigers nose as be
made for him, and then, with palms
out and eyes fixed, he walked slowly
up to the shrinking beast and stroked
his face and flank.
"The tiger snarled and took the
mans hand in his open mouth. | held
my breath and looked for the bleed
ing stump TO fall away; but, keeping
that hand perfectly still, with the
other he tickled the tigers jowl and
scratched his ear till with yawn and
a pleased snarl the big cat rolled
over on his back to have his belly
scratched.
"The man then sank to his knees
always keeping his hands in motion
over the glossy fur, and with his foot
drew toward him a collar attached tc
q chain. This he snapped round the
beasts neck and, rising to his feet
laid hold of the chain and dragged the
tiger out.
"This was only the second time thai
the cage had been entered. AS soor
as the tiger was outside he espied thu
watching party and started for them
but came up short on the collar If M

What philosophers What heroes!
Is it strange that the attitude Of an
unperverted child should be the Chris
tian ideal?
The great merit of children as COM
panions lies in the breadth Of their
tolerations. They are easy to please,
agreeable to most propositions and not
very critical
They do not know better" That is
one Of their deligbtfulest traits. Chill
dren will trust you, and that Is one of
the most gratifying compliments pos
sible.
In the company Of children you have
relief in considering what will pay.
The things that they do and prefer to
do, do not pay, as a rule, except in the
doing of them.
Wise elders who are qualified TO
train the mind of a child are pretty
scarce. The next best thing Is the

SCOTCH TERMS.
Tho Word "cIan" and the Relation oS
CIansmen and Chief.


CIansmen and Chief.
Everybody knows that the word
''mac" pronounced in Gaelic machk)
means son, so that, for example, Mac
Donald literally means the son Of Don
aid But 1t is not generally known
that when woman is spoken Of the
highlanders substitute for mac" the
feminine mich" which means daugh-
ter; that the vocative of mac" Is
"vichk" 1--WE spell phonetically), which
always replaces mac when a person
Is addressed, and that the nominative
plural is michk (sons) or claun (chil-
dren). Sir Walter Scott's ignorance Of
Gaelic frequently led him into error
upon these points, both in his poetry
and In his novels.
The meaning Of the Gaelic word clan,
rs just stated, is children. and the obe-
dience which clansmen owed to their
chief was considered by them rather
as the affectionate obedience due by
children to a father than as that due
by subjects to a ruler. They believed
themselves to be all blood relations
descended from a common ancestor, OF
which their chief was the living repre-
sentative. The clansman who hesitat
ed to save his chiefs life at the ex-
pense of his own was regarded as a
coward who fled from his fathers side
IN the hour of peril. On the other
hand, the chief was expected at all
times to acknowledge the meanest OF
his clan as his relation and to shake
hands with him wherever they might
happen to meet Subordinate to the
chief and generally related to him
were the chieftains and tacksmen.-

Roman House Heaters.

The methods used by the Romans for
warming their houses were clever. In
Rome itself artificial warmth may have
been brought rarely into use, though
the Italian winter requires fires at
times, but when the Roman took up
his abode abroad as the conqueror he
certainly lived in chilly climates. In
the country houses he built In England
he had carefully devised heating ar
rangements, which are called hypo-
causts. These are flues running un-
der the tessellated floors. Fires were
lit outside Of the house, and the hot
air passed under the floors. To do
this much required a knowledge Of
the builders art, with the necessary
precautions against fire. Remnants Of
these hypocausts are found today In
England, built during the Roman oc-
eupation.
