ORIGIN OF THE PEARL.
The Priced Gem Only the Brilliant
Sarcophagus of a Worm.

Science has discovered the real ori
gin Of the pearl to be 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 OF
shell, a piece Of seaweed or a small
animal-may by its irritation cause the
mollusk to cover 1t with nacre and
make it the nucleus Of 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 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-
atty only the brilliant sarcophagus of
a worm"

SIGHT is RESTORED

Prank Of GrandChiId Proves a
Blessing TO Blind Minister

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. a.
A bit of tinfoil tipped from a rubber
band by a child Is declared RESPONSE
BILE for the restoration Of the eyesight
OF Rev. J. J. Rupert, pastor Of a To-
cal church, who had been blind for
twenty eight years.
The missile, fred at random by a
grandehild Of the minister, hit him In
enc OF the eyes, and 10 alleviate the
pain hot cloths were applied. This
occurred several days ago, and when
it was apparent his sight was being
restored the applications were con-
tinued. Practically normal vision re-
turned yesterday.

Ventilation,

Have we ever stopped to think how
our ancestors two or three generations
back lived and flourished with little OF
no ventilation in their sleeping apart
ments? The night air used to be con-
sidered a very dreadful menace to
health and a sure inducer of colds.
Bedrooms were kept closely shut, and
yet our ancestors, many of them, were
harder than we and lived to good old
ages. Animals burrow in their holes
at night, breathing the same air over
and over again. while birds and fowls
tuck their heads under their wings.
OF course ventilation is absolutely nee
essary for proper comfort, cleanliness
and health, but people have lived on
little or none of 1t for hundreds and
thousands Of years.-Exchange.
