certain atmospheric condltlonS even q

is particularly true when the air Is
moist or heavy or dense from any cause
whatever. and l can assure any would
be aviator that he will find 1T extremely
unpleasant to bump into this unseen
obstacle just at a time when ne may %
FLYING easily and be under the impress
sion that aviation is the simplest aud
most pleasant of all the sports In TIE
world.
These dumps are found even on tho
calmest days. On days when the vino
is inclined to be al all gusly OF nt1N
the aviator's danger is increased ten
fold, and then he not only bumps the
bumps. but he rocks and sways from
side to side and is blown UP and down
in a way that threatens destruction at
any minute.
On such days the man who uses a
Bleriot usually keeps his machine in its
hangar, for the Bleriot was not built for
fitful winds. i have. however, seen men
go out on days when it was a toss-up
whether they would come down alive
or not, and 1 nav been far more fright
ened for them than 1 have eve been
for myself; for I know of nothing which
puts a greater strain upon the nerves
than to stand helpless upon the ground
watching the airman battle desperately
with the winds. especially when one has
been in the same ~predicament oneself
and knows exactly the fearful POSSIBLE
tiles which e dip and roll of the ma
chine indicated. When a man goes UP
under such conditions, it means fight
fight-fight all the time constantly, in
cessantly, with the hardest part still to
come, for landing in q high wind is an
extremely dangerous and delicate oper-
alton.
Time after time you will see a gust Of
wind catch underneath the front plane
n threaten to turn the machine a
back somersault in the air. Again,
when the machine is tilted downward.
a sudden puff will catch the upper
surface of the front control and threat
Ell to send man and machine crashing
to earth.
Flying %broadside the wind, you will
see the %aeroplane blow upward first on
II side NJ then on the other, and if
you will watch closely through a strong
glass you will see that not for one min
ute does the aviator cease fighting, but
that the hand on the lever is going con-
stantly forward or backward or to one
side or The other, as the gusts catch
him and throw him off his even Keel.

Maddening shreds seemed to whip into

were being gripped by unseen hands
that were literally lifting me from my

chances l took In humping the bumps
to attain that last thousand feet. 1

Here we always expect to find gusty

enough warning to enable him to pre-

In the air. however, we have no such

FIXING THE. VALUE OF PEARLS.
From the New York Worlt

SE OAh NEOLio.
a lawsuit over a pearl necklace in Paris
brought out a week or two ago the fact
that the value placed upon it by experts
varied all the way from $4,000 to $50, 600.
This variation caused some establishment.
but it, was due to the different methods OF
Valuation. some experts calculating the
value of each pearl and adding them I'D.
others in their estimates taking into con-
sheraton the difficulty and time involved
IN matching and sembling so MANY
pearls.
The system upon which pearls are an
praised does not resemble that used in the
appraisal Of other gems. The unit of
weight is the grain, which, according to
the recently adopted international stand
ard, represents q quarter of a carat. or
zoo m~illigrammes. The density of the pearl
being about 2.6 and that of a diamond 3.6.
a pearl Is sensibly larger than a diamond
Of the sumo weight.
To establish the value of a pearl, not
alone its weight but it's shape. it's color and
especially it's iridescence must be taken
into consideration. Fol- this purpose a
co-effcient is established. The actual
weight lii grains is multiplied by this CO.
efficient. and the result is multiplied by 1t
again, which gives 1t values in francs.
Suppose. for example. q pearl weighing
10 grainr. and appraised at 20 times it's
weight. It's coefflcient is 90, and it's value
would be:
1Ox20-20x2=4,M francs
II a pearl were appraised at 40 times it's
weight the coefdcient would be 40 and the
pearl would be worth:
10x4O-400x40116,O 900 francs.
In the last 20 years pearl. have increased
in value 100 per cent. This is due to their
having become more fashionable and to
the large increase in importations to this
country. The Increase in price is most
notable among the finest pearls.
In the Inventory Of the French crown
jewels, made 1871, there was a round pearl
weigning !@s grains and appraised at 2W'o@'
francs. ISis pearl would today be worth
" times its weight, SO it's price would be:

TUlAN e.

One of the few really successful mu-
steal plays of the past season was
Alma, Where Do You Live?" which
was produced at Weber's Theater, in
New York, and which is to be seen
at the fashionable Tulane Theater the
coming week, beginning Sunday, Oc-
tober 8. Alma" was originally given
in New York in German at the Adolph
Philippe Theater, where it had long
run, although in that language much
fault was found with it on account of
it's suggestiveness. When translated
into English, however, by Mr.. George
w. Hobart, the salacious features were
eliminated and it proved to be dain-
ty, appetizing musical play, and it
made such a pronounced hit with New
York audiences that it filled Weber's
Theater for the entire season. cal
ma" although at first given in this
country in the German language, is
really OF French extraction, and was
played for a long time in Paris. The
libretto is by Paul Herve, while the
music was contributed by Jean Bri-
quet, and in making his English adap-
tation Mr.. Hobart went rather to the
French scores than to the German.
There are fourteen musical numbers in
Alma" each of which is said to be a
gem, and they form no small part of
the strength of the entertainment, al
though the comedy is really the foun-
dation Of the plays success. In send
ing it on the road this season Mr..
Weber will provide a frst-class pro-
duction, both as to the scenery and the
costuming, and has engaged an excel
lent company, headed by Mannette
Flack. Others prominent in the cast
are Charles A. Murray and Maitland
Davies, the former popular comedian
who is we'll known in all parts of the
country, and the latter a high-class
tenor of reputation.

score. Among those in the cast are
Anna Laughlin, Annabelle Whitford,
Frank Bushworth, Hubert Wilke, Flor
ence Martin, Morgan Williams and
Charles Prince. THE Ladies' Lion" is
a nautical piece in two acts, both of
realistic production. The story is a
strong farcical tale, so logical and
closely knit that it would stand alone
as an entertainment without the score.
De Angels is said to be at his best in
this opera and intended to play the
leading part when he wrote the piece.

next week, commencing Sunday, prom
Uses to duplicate its big success of last
season, according to theatrical fore
casters. The principal roles are in the
same capable hands, with Herman
Timborg as Ivy Levi, the young immi-
grant who loses his violin and tries to
find it with his girl sweetheart, the plot
being based on this incident. The set
tings show a school yard, the interior
of a school room and a fashionable
home during a lawn reception and

A RAILROAD MANS PRAYER.

An old railroad engineer experienced
religion and when asked to lead in
prayer, this is the way he worded it,
says "The Texas and Pacific Quar-
terly:
20 Lord, now that l have tagged
Thee, lift my feet off the rough road
of life and plant them safely on the
deck of the train of salvation. Let me
use the safety lamp known as pru-
dence, make all the couplings in the
train with the strong link of Thy love
and let my hand lamp be the Bible,
and Heavenly Father keep all switches
closed that lead off on sidings, es-
pecially those with a blind end.
20 Lord, il it be Thy pleasure, have
every semaphOre block along the line
show the white light OF hope that I
may make the run of life without stop
ping and Lord give us the ten com
mandments as a schedule time, and
when my train shall have pulled into
the great station of death, may Thou,
the superintendent of the universe,
look with a smile and say, well done,
thou good and faithful servant, come
up and sign the pay roll and receive
your check for eternal happiness
