LOCAL PEOPLE
ARE INDIGNANT
Sundays Performances AT Chesapeake
City..Arouse Protest Strange Scene
For This Community

AS announced in last weeks WHIG,
several hundred Poles came by special
train from Philadelphia to Elkton last
Sunday morning and were transported in
farm wagons from Eikton to the farm,
near Chesapeake City, recently purchased
by Polish settlement from Mrs. w. A.
Harriott. The wagon transportation was
contracted for by ex-Sheriff Wesley Nc
Allister and teams were hired from many
of the neighborhood farmers. The caval-
cade was very considerable one, as it
wended its way down the Elkton- -Chesa-
peake City road, accompanied by several
bands of music. On reaching the former
Harriott farm, services were held by
Polish priests, many people from Chesa :
peake and vsicinity, witnessing the exer-
cises which were i'm connection with
the laying of the corner stone OF the
National Orphanage to be erected on the
farm.
What came after these church services
is referred to with unqualified censure by
all familiar with the happenings. Beer
is said to have been dispensed in un-
limited quantities the charge lying that
it was sold on the premises openly, in
clear violation of the county law. Dane
ing for prizes, auctioning off of chances
for building lots, improper conduct on
the part of men and women-these are
among the reported dolngs that have
caused the local community to voice its
protest in no uncertain terms. This
community is not prepared to tolerate
the infringement of it's local laws OF the
disregard of its Sabbath observance. An
occurrence like that of last Sunday will
hardly be repeated in this county. 1t is
to be presumed that those at the head OF
the new colony will not care to have it
repeated. 1t is certain that local Off
cials would prevent it's repetition.

Weather Reports By Telephone

One of the features of Bell Telephone
service in addition to many others, which
is especially valuable to rural subscrib-
ers, is the weather report"
By arrangement with the U. S. Weather
Bureau at Washington, ID. c., each eX-
change of the entire Bell System. is
supplied not later than ten o'clock each
morning, with the weather forecast for
the next twenty-four hours, so that 1t is
only necessary for the farmer to step to
his Rural Bell Telephone" to secure
up-to- the minute weather reports, storm
warnings, etc.
AS every farmer, as well as those in
other pursuits that may be influenced by
the weather, realize the advantage ol
these forecasts, this feature of Bel
Telephone Service" is much appreciated

ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Priced Gem Only the Brilliant
Sarcophaaus Of a Worm.

| Science has discovered the real orr
gin Of the pearl to be a worm. DR..
Hugh NJ Smith gives some interesting
information on this subject in the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine.
We know that almost any foreign
body--a grain Of sand, bit of mud or
shell, a piece of seaweed or small
animal-may by Its irritation cause the
mollusk to cover 1t with nacre and
make 1t the nucleus of pearl, but the
largest part of the annual pearl crop
Of the world is due to parasites that
normally pass part of their life cycle
within the shell of the pearl oyster.
Minute spherical larvae of marine
worms known as cestodes become Inn
bedded in the soft tissues, as many as
forty having been found in one Ceylon
oyster. AS the result OF irritation the
oyster forms n protecting sac about the
intruder, and then, IL the larva dies, its
body is gradually converted into car
Donate of lime, and the pearly mass
proceeds to grow with the shell.
If the larva lives it may pass into
the body of the strong jawed trigger
fishes which prey on the pearl oysters,
there undergoing further development
Ultimately 1t reaches the body of the
great rays. which in turn eat the trig- |
ger fishes. In the rays the worms at |
tain full development and produce lar /
vac that are cast into the sea and find /
Judgment In pearl oysters. Thus the
cycle Is begun once more.
We may literally accept the saying
Of a celebrated French investigator
that "the most beautiful pearl is In re.
llity only the brilliant sarcophagus Of
a worm"
