Few people know that the cocoanuts
Of the Malay Peninsula sometimes pro-
duce pearls that are highly priced by
the natives. says Consul General James
T. Du Bots of Singapore.
The stones are not unlike the pearls
Of the mollusks and are similar in com
position TO the oyster pearls, having cal
cium carbonate and little organic mat
ter. The mollusk pearl IS said to come
into existence by tie efforts OF the oyster
pearl to dispose Of irritating particles
that have entered the shell; but the
cocoanut could have no cause for produc-
ing these concretions which. while they
have great similarity to the pearl, are
not pearls. These concretions form Just
beneath the stem, and a pure white
pearl brings a high price, as 1t is sup
posed by the natives to possess some kind
Of a charm. Cases have been known
where the cocoanut pearl has been sold
as a mollusk product. but such instances
are rare. It is not probable, as has

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The MayAowcr Sails for America September 16.

It was on September 16. 1920. that the
little band CT Pilgrims set sail from
Plymouth. England. to find a new home
In this far away land. 1t was with diff
hculty that they escaped from their ma
tive land. first going 20 Amsterdam. Hol-
land. Hero they dwelt for eleven years,
exiles for conscience sake, earning their
bread by the labor of their hands. But
these seekers after religious freedom
found that Holland was not their home;
they could not endure the thought OF
giving up their language and customs for
those Of the Dutch. and having heard of
the colony of Virginia, their thoughts
were directed 20 the wilderness of the
New World.
They finally secured SUFFICIENT money
to purchase a vessel, the 'Speedwell,"
and to hire another. the 'Mayiower. "
They first secured a grant OF land in the
Hudson Valley. and a promise from the
King that he would not interfere with
them. The 'Speedwelr' proved unsea-
worthy. and the little band finally en-
barked or the "Mayfiower" alone. VII
liam Brewster was the spiritual leader of
the band.

wives and children. as borne by the
"Mayflower." numbered l02; one died on
the voyage and one was born. Who has
not read of the terrible discomforts and
dangers of the perilous voyage OF sixty
seven Gays? 1t was not until early IN
November that they reached this CONT
nent far from the point at which they
aimed.

Dor. and so to land on a territory where
their patent could confer no rights, the
leaders Of the expedition. after consulting
together in the cabin Of the "Mayfiower. "
there drew up and signed the historic
Compact" which was to convert the
hundred voyagers into the founders
Of a commonwealth. There they solemn
~ and mutually, in the presence Of God
and one another. combined themselves
into civil body polite to frame such
laws as they might need. This compact
was signed on November IL On that day
an exploring party went ashore. and
found the country bleak and uuinviting
