ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
tn. Priced Gem only the sriIIi.n

The Priced Gem Only the Brilliant
sarcophagus 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, a bit Of mud or
shell, a piece of seaweed or a small
animal-may by its irritation cause the
mollusk to cover it with nacre and
make it the nucleus of a pearl, but the
largest part of the annual pearl crop
of the world is due to parasites that
normally pass a part of their life cycle
within the shell of the pearl oyster.
Minute spherical larvae of marine
worms known as cestodes become i'm
bedded in the soft tissues, as many as
forty having been found in one Ceylon
oyster. As the result of irritation the
oyster forms a protecting sac about the
intruder. and then. if 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 it 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-
atty only the brilliant sarcophagus OF
a worm.'

In A long item in a Philadelphia paper

In A long item In a Philadelphia paper
the condition of men, women and children
In the pines" of New Jersey are set forth
In startling stories based on the discoveries
Of Miss Elizabeth Kite, who is working
under the direction of the State Depart
ment of Charities and Correction. Miss
Kite has been devoting much time and at
tention to disclose a situation that few will
believe Is as horrid as she paints it. 1t
took a column of the paper referred to to
show how absolutely devoid of decency
and correctness are the ''citizens of the
pines," and after reading the very sensa-
ticnal article one might suppose that the
residents Of darkest Africa had been set
right down In our midst. That there is a
sense Of moral degeneracy in some parts
Of this county may well be believed, but
that it Is all confined to the section called
1.-THE pines" Is not entirely correct. Miss
Kite need not go out of some of the towns
In this county to find conditions that need
correcting. Right here in Mount Holly
she might find a chance for missionary
work, and that condition will probably
prevail in other towns of equal size. But,
perhaps. 1t was easier to make goodin"the
pines" and that more sensational reports
could be framed from that section with
less effort and with less chance of treading
on the toes Of some with more pleasant
environments than the savages of the
pines We would not throw cold water
on the work Of the woman who is en-
deavoring to remedy what is undoubtedly
an evil, but would seek to enlarge her
field OF labor.

Plucky Birds.

Compared with mammals. parental
love is stronger in birds. In protecting
their nests and young. birds often
show courage and strategy, more or
less of which is doubtless inherited
Even the SO called dangerous nam
mails. the bears. mountain lions, wild
cats and other mammals that are best
able to protect themselves, seldom
make a stand against domestic intru-
sion. Rarely do they attempt to en-
tice an enemy from their home by
strategic means. but at the first warn
ing OF danger they either hide or watch
the intruder from a safe distance. But
there are very few species of birds
that do not attempt to defend their
homes in some way. and even the most
timid evince more intelligence than
most mammals.-Collier's.

THE TINY HUMMING BIRD.
In One Species Its Bill Is Nearly as
Long as Its Body.

Long as Its Body.
All humming birds, though varying
much in size and color, exhibit the
same form of wing. legs and feet. the
wings being strong considering the
small size of the bird), while the legs
and feet are remarkably weak and del
icate, a clear indication that these lit
tie creatures are intended to spend al
most all their time in the air.
In accordance with this we find that
humming birds are never seen on the
ground; that even when feeding they
seldom trouble themselves to alight,
but suspend themselves in the air be-
fore the flower on whose juices they
mean to feed, the rapid vibration of
the wings causing them to appear like
two fans Of flmy gauze and producing
at the same time that peculiar hum
ming sound from which these birds
derive their popular name.
The beak of most humming birds is
long, delicate and slightly curved to
enable it to reach the inmost recesses
Of the trumpet shaped flowers which
abound In the tropical regions, but the
shape of the beak is very variable.
probably IN account of the particular
flower on which the bird feeds.
In some instances it is nearly straight.
and in II species. the sword bill hum
ming bird, it is very nearly as long as
the rest of the body.-St. Louis Globe

FOUNCEIN OF YOUCH
I'M a DOLLS HOUSE
How Hrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, the Author. Keeps Close
to Child Life

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's new
novel ct. Tembarom," which begins
serially in the January Century, is the
story of a boy who rose from the position
OF a waif who sold newspapers, to that of
a reporter, and then learned that he was
heir to a magnificent estate in England.
Mrs. Burnett's skill in the portrayal of
boy character has been we'll known ever
since the days of Little Lord Fauntle-
roy"
In this connection it is interesting to
note that one of her methods of keeping
close to child life is the personal care Of
a sumptuous dolls house. In the living
room of her ummer residence at Plan
dome Park, Long Island, she has a large
Jacobean cabinet, nearly four hundred
years old, partitioned off into little rooms
which she has furnished with great care.
The miniature furnishings are all copies
of originals that Mrs. Burnett has admir-.
ed, and the drawing room presents an ap-
pearance that is impressive indeed. The
cabinet is tenanted by so many dolls, col
lected by Mrs. Burnett in the course of
her travels, that she says she has really
forgotten the number.
The children which she invites to ex-
plore this treasure house are critics whose
verdict she heeds far more thar that of
the book reviewer. One of her stories,
1.-THE Racketty-Packetty House, " it will
be remembered, was about a doll's house.

SENATOR ISAAC NICHOLS Is said to be
about to propose the expenditure of $50.
600 In order that New Jersey may make a
c~reditable showing at the Inauguration OF
President-elect Wilson. Mr.. Nichols ar
CUES that the southern statesiwill be out in
force and he thinks It will be a disgrace
on our fair name if this state allows the
Inauguration ceremonies to proceed with
out making q grand display. Governor
Wilson Ia referred to as q J%erseyman,
when he is in reality only a resident of
this state by choice. But that does not
matter. He was elected to the Presidency
from New Jersey and this state is credited
with having furnished the next President
of the United States. The Governor is
said to be adverse to the lavish expendi-
ture Of money for a gorgeous display at
the inauguration, so he may have the
chance to veto the bill of Senator Nichols,
II introduced and carried through. A
Camden paper speaking of the matter,
calls attenti N to the recent disclosure of
affairs st the soldiers home, at Newark,
and suggests that the state might spend
it's money TO more advantage in taking care
OF the veterans. There is much force in
this argument, but why cannot the state
spend money for both objects9 The old
sold iers should be looked after, aud there
Is no reason why New Jersey should not
make q display when Governor Wilson
takes his seat as the chief magistrate of
the United States. If any other gentle
mau of this state had been chosen to the
high Office of ruler of the nation the sup-
gestion would have been timely. That
the President-elect happens to be a Demo
crat ought not to make any difference in
this programme. Politics should not
have any part in this affair.

ONE OF THE most important decisions
rendered In this state is that handed down
by the Public Utility Commission where
by 1t orders the Public Service Gas Com
panY to reduce the price of gas in the
"Passaic Division" to 80 cents per thous-
and feet. The Commission also recon-
mends that this price prevail all over the
state. If the gas company does not take
kindly to the Recommendation" 1t will
probably shape itself into an order. The
Commission cannot see why a corporation
should charge rates that have for their sole
object the accumulation of funds with
which to pay large dividends. The action
Of the Commission will be hailed with
pleasure by the people of all sections. In
It's decision the Commission said it did not
take any notice Of the good will" of any
concern. The fact that there is no COM
petition does not convey the right to
charge exorbitsnt prices. New let the
Commission get after the Bell Telephone
Company and possibly something may
happen ON that end of the line.
