 One Very important result of my last expedition as bearing upon the success of the coming one" said Commander Peary today "ls the dis tinct improbabillty that conditions in the comparatively short distance of 200 miles between my furthest north point, and the pole itself will be in any way different from the condi- tions encountered by mo for the last 100 miles of my journey If condi- tons are no worse in the next season than they were during the last voyage l shall hope to accomplish the objects of my expedition and return in about fifteen months--in October. 1909. I ought, however to have supplies and equipment for stay of three years.
 The principal change in the Roose- velt has been in connection with her boiler battery, On her last voyage this battery comprised one Scotch boiler of 800 horse power and two Amy water tube boilers of 250 horse power each. l recognized that these boilers were in the nature of an exper- iment for the kind of work expected, but the great saving in weight which meant the ability to carry more coal was a strong temptation to give them a trial. Unfortunately these boilers went out of commission the third day out from sydney and as result the work done by the Roosevelt in her last voyage was done with one-half her designed boiler power. l now have two new 300 horse power Scotch boilers, which are likely to remain in commission throughout the entire voyage. The new boilers are also ar ranged athwart ship instead of fore and aft as in the previous installation with the flreroom foreWard of the boilers. This arrangement makes the entire main hold bunker and per mits feeding coal direct from the hold tO lHt lltB IDDlll, lllt utth nOUSt lOI ward forming quarters for the crew in the previous voyage has been re- moved and the ship has been given a top gallant fo' castle running back to the main hatch This arrangement more than doubles the accommoda- tions forward, and gives ample space for housing my Eskimo contingent comfortably. The Roosevelt has also been given large square sail on the foremast with hoisting yard to en- able her to better utilize a sterr l breeze.

do Newark women dress as chic
as New Workers.? OF course! Why
not? In Newark we have one or
more stores that r as UP to the
stores. The buyers must purchase
fashionable goods and be able to
know what Is, destined to become
fashionable. They have the same
opportunities to judge and to pur-
chase as the New York buyers. We
all know that Newark women are
as bright and as quick to grasp
stylish creations as New Workers..
Then, too, very few New Workers.
In Newark, while all Newark buy
ers and most Newark women make
frequent trips to New York and are
afforded fine opportunities to see
articles and styles which may have
been overlooked before. A demand
Is instantly created here, and pro-
gressive Newark merchants at once
place the desired articles on sale.
A great many New Workers. are
farther from the shopping district
In Manhattan than most Newarkers
and have fewer chances to see the
styles than the Newark women, who
run over to the city to a play or
on business.
Newark. women do dress as well
as New Workers..

dampness 1t is likely to be subjected
to in ordinary dwellings. II the sound
ing-board get too dry It is likely to
crack; then the piano Is a hopeless
wreck. Toe much moisture makes the
keys stick and rusts the strings, but
there Is nothing as bad as too much
dryness.
Some experts recommend keeping a
growing plant On the piano. but this
has objections. as the pot might be
easily upset, with a rather disagreeable,
if not dangerous, result.
The best idea is to keep the piano as
far away from the fire as possible in
winter, and not too near a sun-exposed
wall in summer. Pianos may stand by
an outside wall II they are not allowed
to come In contact with it, and IL the
circulation of air in the room is reason
ably good. When It is said that a piano
must not stand against an outside wall,
1t means hat the instrument should
not come in direct contact with n
conductor to the outer world.

OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
ABOUT PEARLS.
-HE pearl Is considered by many
persons as the most delicate n

nersons as the most delicate and
beautiful of jewels-indeed, as one
Of the most beautiful things In nature,
ana vet what a commonplace origin II
hnsl It il found, as you know, In the
shell OF the pearl oyster, and some
times in that of some other kinds OF
nm. The way In which 1t Is formed
has nsvsr been found out def1niteiy' ou.
at ID believed that a grain OF sand' or o.
stmilar substance, gets into the sheli
and that the secretions OF the oyster
[eerm q coating around 1t.
The shells Of p~earl-oysters are hneo
with what IL called mother-or-pearl'
and. that Is the material that gamers
nrcund the grain of sand. 1t Is SAID
that the Chinese make oysters from
pearls by putting little beads OF mother-
of-psarl into their shells, And then put
ting the shells back intoSthe sea. After
. while the little beads become large
pearls. They have another queer fash
len. that Of putting very small metal
lmaeea Of their gods into the Shells
which. In course Of time, become beau
tdfui pearl images.
Nearly all pearls are obtained by
divers. who 80 down into the sea for
the oysters. The oysters are brought
UP to the surface and put into boats.
They are then taken ashore and spread
out to dry and decay, after which the
sfyeiis are opened and the pearls
searched for. Sometimes a dozen pearls
ara found In one shell. They are of
various sizes, the largest. of course, be-
ing the most valuable. They differ also
in shape and ~color-white. pink, yellow
ana black. sBlack pearls are the most
vAluAbie because they are the rarest.
