SECOND GAME WITH CHARLES CITY

SECOND LAME WITH CHAhLEo SiAh
Excepting the sixth inning, Bradley
pitched creditable game. His under
hand delivery held his smuggling oppon-
ents safe at all times but in the fatal
sixth. On the other hand, the work of
Shook for Charles City was the prime
feature of the game. His continuous
use of the spit-ball kept the Cresco
batters from hitting safe. Allowing
but three safe raps and tanning four
cen tells the defeat of Cresco.
t Until the sixth inning the game look.
ed like another victory for Cresco, the
score in our favor 10. This score
came in the fifth inning when Gar.et
fumbled Dougherty's rap, followed b!
Hills sacrifice and Kerwick's timel.

PEARLS FROM COCOANUTS.
Mysteries That Scientists Have Never
Been Able to Explain.

In the museum at Kew is a pearl
scarfpin, only remarkable at a glance
because that is about the last place
where one would look for such an OBJ
ject. The diameter is not much less
than half an inch, the color pure milk
white, the polish excellent; if it is not
so glossy as it should be, one often sees
family pearls of renown as deficient IN
luster. This has been exposed to the
light for many years, says The Pail Mall
Gazette.
In fact, one would not question that it
was an ornament of considerable value
as it might be, indeed, if carried to GER
tain Oriental markets; but here only SCI
ence feels an interest in it, for this is
one of natures limitations, so like the
real thing that chemical analysis can
recognize no difference to be relied on.
1t is the product of a cocOanut.
AS much was known about these very
extraordinary objects two centuries and
a half ago as at present, saving their
chemical composition. The great Rum-
phius not only drew up a careful account
of them, but even sent specimen III
1853 to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who
had it mounted in a ring. Other notices
have been discovered. If the reports
were believed in a prescientlhc age, they
ran no chance of acceptance when the
limitations of nature were better under
stood. Those few who read the old tale
paid no attention to such absurdity.
1t seems to have been forgotten, in
this country at any rate, when Dr. Hlck-
son told it over again in 1887. While ex-
ploring Celebes he had often been asked
by Dutch painters and others about
"cocoanut pearls" to what purpose we
are not informed, but it would not be
surprising to learn that these gentlemen
shared the faith of the natives, who at
tribute all manner of virtues to these
rare products. Or they may have in
quired with an eye to business, for man
darins and rajahs will pay great price
for them as charms.
In 1888 DR.. Harley read a paper on
the composition of pearls before the
Royal society, and he did not overlook
these eccentric varieties. "ln external
appearance" he says, they resemble
the real thing at every point, having a
smooth, glistening, dull white surface. "
Their material is the same-carbonate
of lime, organic matter and water. so
is their microscopic structure.
In fact, the identity was so close that
DR., Harley suspected the specimens sub
mitted to him were actually shell pearls,
for he found traces of animal substances.
But his report is useful all the same, for
he discovered that there is no carbonate
of lime in the milk of the cocOanut by
which these abnormal objects must be
deposited, so far as we. can see.
1t only remains to say that they have
not been found or not reported except in
the far eastern countries, where it is
said one in two thousand cocoanuts may
WELD a specimen; one would think this
estimate too liberal when they are so
rarely heard of. Examples as large as
cherry are on record, always perfectly
spherical or pear shaped

square, wooden building, known as the

men are veterans. 1t is a novel sight
to see q group of these hardened old war
riors working away with saw and ham
mer for the pure love of making some
thing. Here is a gray haired workman
constructing what he says will be shirt
waist boxes. Another is making a cane
of unusual design. Here is one dab
bling in paints at an artists easel. That
one is designing a yacht. One little

to take the place of one he gave to his
country. He has a leg for every occa-
sion. They are all doing something

He stood, as nearly as l could judge,
about 4 feet 8 inches in his curly Bur

of regal courtesy.
His palace was a matched hut on
stills, close to the Salween river. He
had several wives. who manifested great

conversation with a white man, and his
retinue consisted of some four and TWEEN

THE PRICE OF WHALEBONE.
Shrinkage in Weight and Other Causes
Raise It's Value

The assertion that an attempt is be-
ing made to corner the whalebone sup
ply of the world and boost the price to
S. pound is denied by William ].
Lewis, of the ship chandlery firm Of
Lewis, Anderson, Foard & Co., of Seat
tie, one of the Lewis brothers of New
Bedford, through whose hands all the
whalebone of the world passes.
''There has been no attempt to raise
the price of bone nor will there be such
a move" said Mr.. Lewis this morning.
''The sale of bone last year amounted to
about 100000 pounds and will probably
be the same this year There has been
no market for bone yet, nor will there be
until this fall. There is on hand at the
storehouses in New Bedford more than
100000 pounds of bone, or enough to sup
ply the market of& the world for the next
two years. In order to prevent a con-
gestion of the market, the whaling COM
panies decided not to go to the expense
of sending out whalers this year and
with one exception the boats are laid
up at San Francisco. The karluk went
her owners should be the last to object
to the price of bone being placed at 20,
for the higher the figure the more their
bone can demand.
"A price of S. a pound for bone does
not mean the ordinary whalebone de-
iivered at Nome. 1t means S. pound
in Paris for the prize Gone, which is
twice as much as it is worth here. There
is big shrinkage IN the weight of
whalebone amounting to 5 to Is per cent.

part in winter sports, it is not unnat-

accidents, stretchers mounted on run,

OLD MUsKET IN A TREE.
F1intlock of Revolutionary Times Found
in Hollow of a Log.

Lumbermen employed by the Pennsyl-
vania Lumber company found a Revo-
lutionary musket embedded in tree cut
down near Shohola, Pike county, Pa.
A huge pine tree was cut down, but the
butt was defective and in order to Sc
cure sound end to the log the diseased
part was cut off. In doing so it was
found that this portion of the tree was
hollow and the aperture had grown over
so that it was not observable to the
woodchopper. In the hollow was an old
fashioned f1int-lock musket, such as was
in use by the pioneers of this region.
The spot where the musket was found
is in the neighborhood of the bloody
battle which occurred between the
whites and Indians on July %, 1910, in
which the former were defeated, and it
is possible that the gun may have be-
longed to one of the wounded stragglers
of the defeated patriots.
