For the very reason that we desire
20 favor the honest railroad manager,
we should seek TO discourage the ac--

Germ with railroads is to manipulate
their stocks. The business of railroad
organization and management should

INVENTOR OF ARTIFICIAL PEARLS
Silvery Lustre on Pond That Set
Bead Maker Thinking.

Bead Maker Thinking.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The string of artificial pearls was
very beautiful. But for the regularity
of the beads anyone would have
thought 1t rope Of real pearls worth
a kings ransom.
"IlI tell you," said the jeweler, as he
wrapped up the deceptive necklet, "how
the wonderfully perfect artificial pearl
came to be invented.
"A rich French beadmaker--Moise
Jauuin-he lived in the seventeenth
century-found a pond In his garden
covered one morning with q lovely sill
very luster. Amazed. he called his
gardener, who said 1t was nothing
some albettes had got crushed, that
was all.
"Albettes were little silver fish
bleaks--the Leuciscus alournus. The
gardener explained that II you crushed
pearly sheen like that. Jaquin put on
his thinking cap.
For six years he worked with beads
and blealks, wasting millions Of both.
But finally he achieved success. He
learned how to extract the pearly lustre
from the bleaks' scales and to cover a
glass bead with It.
What he did-and his method 10 still
used-was to scrape the scales from the
fish, wash and rub them and save the
water. The water, decanted, gave off
a lustrous fluid Of the thickness OF Oil,
a. yeritable pearl paint, a magic fluid
that imparts a lovely pearly sheen to
everything 1t Is applied to.
"It takes 1000 bleaks to yield an
ounce of this pearl paint"

Ample provision should be made by
congress to enable the Interstate Com
merce commission, by the employment
Of a sufficient force of experts, to un-
dertake the physical valuation of each
end any road In the country, whenever
and so soon as in the opinion of the
commission such a valuation Of any
road would be of value TO the COM
mission in its work. There are un-
doubtedly some roads as to which It
would be an advantage, from the stand
point Of the business of the commits
sion, to have such physical valuation
as soon as possible.
How important physical valuation
will prove as one of the factors to assist
in fixing equitable rates I am not able
! to Judge: but that 1t will be of Ger
tain Importance can be safely assumed
because Of the opinions of the Inter
state Commerce commission, and of
the courts, and because Of the recent
action of the Northern Pacific railroad
In advancing such q physical Valua-
ton as decisive on its side in q rate
controversy. Such a valuation would
necessarily help to protect the rail-
roads against the making of inadequate
and unjust rates, and would therefore
be as imDortant from the standpoint
of the protection of the railroads as
from the standpoint Of the protection
of the public; and OF course 1t Is neces-
sary to the enduring prosperity and
development of the country that the
railroads shall yield reasonable profits
! to investors. .#

He was short, fat, good-natured looking
man, and he occupied an end seat in the
first summer car of the season. There was
no one else on the seat beyond him when
the car stopped at a corner and woman
got on. She made right for the fat man.
She had made up her mind In an instant
to shove him out of that end seat and oc-
cupy it herself. She stood before him and
looked Into his eyes. He did not bulge.
KINDLY shove along, SIR she requested.
"Can't do 1t, ma'am," he replied.
"Sir, I do not propose to climb over

crowded past him, giving him as many

she got seated the fat man turned to her
and said:
