MYSTERY OF PEARL GROWTH.
Ridges That Are Signs Of Pearls

hioges That Are Signs Of Pearls
Some Abandoned Theories.
The real mother of pearl never has
been found, for nobody knows how
pearls are born and made The evil
dence that they can be produced by
inserting some foreign body into the
mussel is doubtful, says the Chicago
Tribune, though Linnaeus, the Swed-
'sh naturalist. is said to have owed
much Of his fame to tho fact that he
could produce pearls by inserting
grains of sand between the valves of
the fresh water mussels which are
to be found in continental rivers.
Artificial pearl crosses are reported
from China as having been obtained
by placing a thin metal cross within
the body of pearl oyster and allow
ing II to stay there till IL became
covered with nacreous matter. Prof
Herdman in his researches on the
pearl mussei of Ceyloa has found
that the pearls in these shells are
secreted to cover a parasite, usually
q nematoid worm, which passes one
of its life stages within the shell. and

to account for the presence of pearls
in fresh water mussels.
The commonly accepted theory that
a single grain Of sand within the man

The sixty-second annual statement
of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company has been issued and Is an
other testimonial as to the efficiency,
economy and wisdom Of the manage
ment of the company, and Is calcu-
lated to strengthen its hold upon all
familiar with its long and honorable
career, and liberality toward its policy
holders. / will not undertake to quote
figures, because to many they would
be OF little interest, but will say that
there were gratifying increases In ev-
cry item of real value to policy hold
ers. as compared with the previous
year. l have known for years that
the Mutual Benefit was in a class all
by itself, and guaranteed its policy
holders more than any other company,
and 1t is of course gratifying to me to
know that the more familiar the peo-
pie become with its record and policy
contracts the easier 1t Is for me to get
business. You owe 1t to yourself to

Prohibition Defeat

If prohibition prohibited then it might be largely a moral question, but ns the facts prove beyond dispute that prohibition does not put a stop to the sale of whisky all this agitation in Jefferson county against the licensed saloon that can and will be strictly regulated is political. Prohibition politics can result in nothing that Is good. On the other hand this cam paign has stirred up more rancor than any city, county or state contest with in the past ten years. Owing to our peculiar industrial conditions should the prohibitionists win next Monday business would have serious back set while suffering and crime would be more in evidence than ever.
 It requires no expert in political management to see that the prohibit ton side is losing ground steadily. The prohibition party attained its full strength two weeks ago. It is mak- ing no converts now, but it's losses are apparent to all Every thing, there fore. points to prohibition defeat by a very decisive majority.

The Practical Joker,

The practical joker is the most danger ous man in a community" said a cit- zen yesterday in discussing a case that was on trial in the courts, "and it is always the joker friends who suffer the consequences of his stupid jokes
 Take that case that was on trial as an instance. A man buys a cigar. lights it and is enjoying the smoke when the rotten thing explodes and well-nigh burns his eyes out. That is practical joking with vengeance, and the joker, if he got his deserts, should be confined in a lunatic asylum for five years
 The sense of humor in some people takes very peculiar turn. It may range from dropping a brick on a mans head to shouting Firer in a crowded build ing. These are the fellows who rock boat and drown the occupants or lead blind men into pitfalls. Of course. they don't mean to create panics or drown people, but they do it all the same, and thelr good or bad intentions makes little difference to their victims.

Second Trust Conference

Way hack in 1899 a trust confer ence" was held in Chicago, and this week the second trust conference Is being held in Chicago under the aus pices of the National Civic Fedora tion. The first conference did not solve the trust problem, and it is safe to say the second will not, but still it may aid in clarifying the situ- ation and in leading on to a solu- ton.
 We can let the trusts alone. We can wipe them out. We can regulate them by governmental action. We could apply to them public ownership. These seem to be the four policies that are applicable to the pending problem.
 Regulation seems to be the favorite policy of the country combined with publicity. But regulation Is 8 com plex matter especially if much of 1t ,ds to be left to AZ states. The sub ject embraces the Sherman antitrust act, all rate legislation, either by Con gress or by the states, the Presidents campaign for effective federal regula- ton, and the clashes between state and federal authorities.
 The growth of great corporations is the foremost subject, if not danger, of the times, and the industrial cor porations are outstripping in magni- tude the transportation corporations The second conference at Chicago cer- tainly had an ample field, and it seems to have done its best to throw new light on the problem of trusts which as ever with us.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-25

Here Is where two great forces lock horns.
 There is small need for discussing the rate bill passed at the first ses- sion of the legislature The South ern Railway and it's allied lines and the Frisco railroad have accepted it's. terms pendente lite The Louisville and Nashville has decided to fight it from start to finish, although it has in North Carolina and Georgia adopted the contrary policy. Just why it should desire to make fight in Ala bama is not known.a All know that it has determined to fight Alabamas s railroad policy tooth and toenail, and that the entire matter goes over to the legislature when it meets in extra ses- sion on November '.
 Let us all hope that discretion and statemanship and deep devotion to the state will predominate over rancor, bitterness and all unfairness in the forthcoming session. The problem in hand is complex and difficult, and t calls for the best service that our leg islators can muster.

Skies Are Briuhteninu

Between the quick action of the clearing house committee in New York City, and the equally quick action of Secretary Cortelyou, the situation is clearing up in New York, where, says the Associated Press, spectators have been engaged in an effort Ito carry on Wall street operations at a pace be- yond the capacity of the money mar ket." The weak spots are to be strengthened, and the frightened in New York are to be rendered hopeful.
 Periods of liquidation are chronic, and many of them have been worse than the one that Wall street is ex- periencing. The Jay Cooke panic of 1873 was much severer. The prices of securities fell faster, money was tighter, and the depression lasted five long years. The depression of 1893 brought worse conditions than are now possible because tho silver basis was threatening. Q 1902, too, there was a period of depression, not unlike the present one, but it was short. and history will perhaps repeat itself
 ' Wall street no longer dominates the rest of the country. It did in 1873 and in 1893, but it does not now What is needed is a bringing of Wall street into harmony with the rest of the country, and this is what IS be- ing attemptex through the enforced weeding out of speculators and pro- motors from it's banks and trust com panies. There will be DO check to general prosperity, no material lessen ing of trade. Railroad earnings con. tinue to be high, and exports of cotton and grain will soon drive away all fears of business troubles and bring back confidence and proper appreci- ation of the strength and soundness of general trade. Our industries and our crops are the country's real back bone, and that backbone is trust worthy and equal to all emergencies.
