Let Other States Follow.

Let Massachusetts and other states
follow Maine. 1t is proper that they

think the advisory" era has passed,
and its mother state is rapidly coming

The Transcript says: Political unity
between the executive and the legisIa-

smoothing the way for an innovation.
The Governor of Maine and the Legis-

course Maine politicians will poster the

new departure by consolidating and
concentrating authority, and other

JAPANESE PEARL FARM"
Famous Experiment of a Zoologis st
and Marine Scholar.

The pearl oyster farm" was founded
by DR. Mikimoto, famous japanese
zoologist and Murine scholar. Its head
quarters are on Totokujuma Island in
Ago bay Here on a little peninsula iut-
ting out into the bay are the many build
ngs which comprise the institution. con-
sisting of a laboratory for experimental
work, sorting. sheds, packing rooms
offices and managers residence. In sum-
partieularips it is a charming little
place. The farm proper has total area
of some % nautical square miles The
pearl oyster found on these grounds be-
longs to the species NJ martensi. which
is very abundant in the bay, and found
more or less inlall parts of Japan. The
oysters resemble the specimens found in
Ceylon. famous for producing the finest
pearls i'm the world.
DIR. Mikimoto began his experiments
some 20 years ago. At first it seemed al
and his friends laughed at him for
throwing his morley into the sea- He
persisted i'm his work, however. testing
all sorts of theories and changing mis-
methods from time to time. until results
were obtained which seemed TO promise
success. In 1896 things had so far pro
crossed that the experimental stage was
thing of the past and the enterprise
was put on a commercial basis. pa
tent for the new method was obtained
from the government. AMI the cultivation
of the pearl oyster on an extensive scale
was undertaken. At the end of 1898 tho
first small crop of pearls was harvested
and placed upon the market
The manner in which the pearls arc
cultivated is simplicity itself Every
year, during the months of July and Au-
gust, small pieces of rock and stone are
placed at those spots where the larvae
of the pearl oysters have been found to
be most abundant. Soon small oyster
spat is found attached to them. IS the
rocks are placed in shallow water, not
more than than n few fathoms in depth,
the oysters would die from cold If left
there during the winter. 50 the rocks,
with their adherent colonies are removed
to deeper waters and carefully laid out IN
beds prepared for them. Here the oysters
lie until their third year. when they are
taken out of the sea and undergo an
operation which leads TO pearl formation
This consists chiefly in introducing into
them the small pearls or round pieces OF
nacre. which serve as the nuclei of the
pearls-to-be. The shells are then put
back into the sea and left undisturbed for
at least four years more. At the ind of
that time they are taken out. and it is
then found that the muluse has covered
the inserted nucleus with many layers of
nacre, or, in other words, has produced
a pearl.-Wide World Magazine.

Smoking in Winter.

smokers who find their health and menta
faculties impaired In winter for no ap-
parent reason to accept tobacco as tho
explanation and to cut down their smok-
ing during the colder months.
Tobacco. he says. is a very powerful
drug and cannot he consumed in large
quantities without producing certain
effect on the heart. 1t must be remem-
hered that during the winter the heart
has great deal more work to do than
in summer. for the cold causes the blood

How Much to Eat.

Every pound of useless fat which
the human being carried is an lmpedl-

feet tall should weigh approximately
two hundred pounds. If by strict at

reduce this weigh To 1870 or 1S5 pounds,
it would probably prove beneficial. but
If his weight is allowed to rise to 2lo,
220, go, or even 240 pounds. he uniltS
himself to that extent for his duties.
Let anyone who is accustomed 10
physical exercise, and suited thereto,

MERCHANTS PLAN
FOR A GALA DAY
CELEBRHTfcN ON COMPLETION
OF THE G. c. G. P. ROAD
PLANNED.

! The Retail Merchants and Business
Mems association is planning to make
q gala day on the completion OF the
g. c. & p. line into Brunswick.
At a meeting Of the association yes
terday morning tentative plans were
laid for the celebration. According to
,h.se plans extension trains Will be
run from all points on the line of the
road, and other special trains and
boats will probably be run from neigh
boring cities to bring people INTO
Brunswick for the celebration.
While the scheme for the aviation
meet was turned down at the meet
ing yesterday morning, it is entirely
possible that this and other features
viii be brought for the occasion.
The completion of the G. c. & p.
railway will add another line to the
ihree systems which now enter the
city, and will inevitably mean much to
its development
Brunswick already has the best
transportation facilities of any city
in the state of its size, and ranks high
among the cities along the South At
lantic coast in the matter of exports.
The members Of the association reel
that some celebration in honor or the
addition of still another link in the
chain calls for official and popular no
tice.
In addition to the celebration per Sc
it is hoped that the event will serve
to attract people to Brunswick who
will themselves help in the further de-
velOpment of the city.
The work on the new railroad is
going on steadily, and although it is
impossible to tell at this time just
how soon it will be completed, unless
some unexpected delay is met with it
Is hoped that the first train will be
run into Brunswick over it some time
during the month of February, 1913,
and with good luck, possibly by Jan
uary.

60 To CHURCH" DAY
TO Be STATEWIDE
PLANNED TO MAKE THE OBSERV-
ANCE OF THE DAY AN
NUAL CUSTOM.

The plan for Go TO Church" day,
which was set this year for Dec. "A
by the originatOrs in Atlanta, bids fair
to become general throughout the stae
by next year.
The plan is, in brief, that every
church shall hold rally meetings on
the same day, and that every minis
ter shall do his utmost to have mis-
church packed, and for one day in
the year at least, to have the full
membership of his church present. The
inspiration of the though that through
cut the state simultaneously large
Congregations will raise their voices
in prayer and song, it is hoped will
brig lasting good.
Throughout the state the ministers
Of the smaller towns are taking hold
Of the idea, and the 60 to Church"
day promises to become one of the
mcst striking demonstrations ever
made by any band or crsan;zat' i Of
churches in America.
Jackson is the latest Gown in the
state to join in the movement Dis
atches from there say that III day
Ill be observed Dec IA as it is in
Atlanta The ministers of the place
have taken hold Ct the work and have
aroused the whole town to an active
interest. The movement also mas the
Endorsement of large number of bus
mess men and other members of the
laity
Each Of the Atlanta churches will
rave committees to see that the eff
fects Of Go to Church" day shall be
lasting and that the persons who at
tend Dec. IA are p rsonally invited
TO attend on all Of the succeeding
Sundays.
In other cities where movement of
lhis sort has been undertaken the re-
suits have been Of permantne nature
It is the determination of the Allan
ia pastors that the same shall be true
in that city
The negro churches are cO-operat-
ing and will add thousands to the to-
tai attendance for the day.
