AEROPLANE WILL RACE
TRAIN FROM NEW YORK
Expected to Travel From Gov
ernors Island to Fort Myer
Without Stop.

Plans have been completed for a race
between a Moissant monoplane and a
Pennsylvania special from New York to
Washington, announced in The Star last
week. c. Murvin Wood is expected to
drive the fifty-horsepower aeroplane.
The race is planned to be a nonstop
one. starting at Governors Island, n. Y.
and finishing at Fort Myer. Va. Train
and monoplane are to leave New York at
4:3O O'Clock Friday morning, arriving
here at about O'Clock The start on the
return to New York is to be made at ;
O'Clock Friday afternoon.
Message From Gen. Barry.
Aviator Wood. it was announced. is to
bring a message from Gen Thomas H.
Barry, commander OF the Department OF
the East, to Maj. Edgar Russell OF the
Signal Corps.
The Pennsylvania special has been
chartered by the Moissant COMPANY,
to be Alan r. Hawley. president OF the
Aero Club of America; Mortimer M.
Delano secretary of the club. and other
aeronautical experts. Representatives
OF the Moissant company say that ar
rangements have been made so That
the train will make the through trip
from New York without a stop.
The flight is scheduled to be made IN
the new Moissant monoplane Blue
Bird. designed by Harold kantner
who has gone to Europe to compete for
the Gordon Bennett cup. 1t is claimed
that the Blue Bird is capable OF attain
ing speed of ninety miles an hour.
Is Out for Records.
Aviator Wood will attempt to cap
ture the American distance, duration
and speed records. and make the long
est aeroplane flight from sunrise to
sunset.
Arriving at Fort Myer the aviator is
to come to Washington in an automo-
bile for breakfast. and then return to
Fort Myer to make a series of exhibit
ton flights for officers of the army
and navy. He is to attempt to meet
the various government tests before
starting back for New York.
The only other fight of the kind
ever attempted between New York and
Washington was the one made by
Harry Atwood from Boston. He made
number of stops on the way, and at
Atlantic City his biplane was smashed
He obtained another, however, and
finally completed the trip.

which was sold in London for 800. The
best price paid for a fresh water pearl
in this country was $4,000. and this fine
specimen also came from Tennessee. y
Wisconsin pearl was sold in New York
last year for $4,000. The original finder
sold it for Is cents, because he did not
know it's value.
Unlike most other gems. pearls are not
permanent in their value. The French
government is in a dilemma because the
pearls of a celebrated necklace which
once belonged to Nine Theirs are begin
ming to shrivel and lose their luster.
Scientists say that pearls need to come
in contact with human flesh to preserve
their value. If kept in a safe indefinitely
they starve. Consequently. the most beau
tiful pearl necklace in the world is de-
caying, because the French government
cannot place sufficient confidence in some
lady to permit her to nourish the starv-
ing jewels by contact with her fair neck.
Some times the pearl which is cloudy
and off color may be restored by being
peeled. A layer may be peeled off like an
onion and beautiful luster may be found
beneath the discolored skin. The peeling
process renders the pearl smaller. so only
large pearls of faulty coloring are sub
mitted to this process.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Danny Meadow Mouse Warns
Peter Rabbit.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright 1913. by j. g. Lloydl
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Danny Meadow Mouse waited until all
the rest of Peter Rabbits friends had left
the old brier patch after paying their re-
spects to Peter and Mrs. Peter. He wait
ed for two reasons. did Danny Meadow
Mouse In the first place he had seen
old Granny Fox and Reddy Fox hanging
about little way off. and though they
had disappeared after a while Danny had
an idea that they were not far away. but
were hiding so that they might catch him
on his way home. OF course. he hadn't
the slightest intention Of giving them the
chance. He had made up his mind to ask
Peter if he might spend the night in a
corner Of the old brier patch. and he was
very sure that Peter would say he might,
for he and Peter are very good friends
very good friends, indeed.
The second reason Danny had for wait
ing was this very friendship. You see.
Peter had been away from the Green
Meadows so long that Danny felt sure he
couldn't know all about how things were
there now, and so he wanted to warn
Peter that the Green Meadows were not
nearly as safe as before Old Man Coyote
had come there to live. So Danny wait
had left he called Peter to one side,
where little Mrs. Peter couldn't hear
Danny stood up on his hind legs SO as
to whisper in one of Peters ears.
DO you know that Old Man Coyote is
the most dangerous enemy we nave, Peter
Rabbit? Do YOU know that
Peter Rabbit shook his head. u don't
believe that, Danny" said he. His ter
rible voice has frightened you so that you
lust think him as bad as he sounds.
Why. Old Man Coyote is friend OF
mine." Then he told Danny how Old Man
Coyote had done him GOOD turn In the
old Pasture i'm return for a favor
Peter had once done him. and how he
said that he always paid his debts.
Danny Meadow Mouse looked doubtful
What else did he say he demanded.
Nothing. excepting that we were even
now replied Peter.
"IIa." said Danny Meadow Mouse. The
way he said it made Peter turn to look
at him sharply. '.Ha!' said Danny
again. eff you are even why you don't
owe him anything. and he doesn't owe
YOU anything Watch out Peter Rabbit!
Watch out. / would stick pretty close to
the old brier patch with Mrs. Peter II l
were you. I would. indeed. You used to
think old Granny Fox pretty smart. but
Old Man Coyote is smarter. Yes. sir. he
is smarter! And every one of the rest OF
us has got to be smarter than ever be-
fore to keep out of his clutches. Watch
out, Peter Rabbit. if you and Old Man
Coyote are even! Now. il you don't mind.
I'll curl up in my old hiding place for the
night. l really don't dare go back home
tonight.

GOOD night But Peter never carries his
trouble with him for long. and by the
time he had rejoined little Mrs. Peter he
was very much inclined TO laugh at
Danny's fear. -

don't believe we have anything to fear
from Old Man Coyote. You know he is
my friend. :; :.

said it made Peter look at her anNiously.

right she continued. "Oh, Peter. you
will watch out. won't you.
And peter promised her that he would.

interest of the world has centered in the
great pearl necklace robbery occurring be-
tween London and Paris. A Paris 5eweler
sent to London firm, by registered mail.
a necklace consisting of sixty-one gradu-
ated pearls the total value OF which was
S62J. 900. When the case arrived in Lon
don the pearls were missing, and pieces
of sugar were found in their place. The
Scotland Yard detectives have been I'M
able to secure a clue. In all probability
the necklace will be divided and the
pearls placed upon the market separately
To the average person the spending of
more than half million dollars upon
single piece of jewelry seems incredulous.
yet pearls have for centuries played an
important part in the development of the
worlds history. Kingdoms have fallen
and emperors have lost their heritages
on account of pearls
The pearl industries of the world pro-
duce millions of dollars in values each
year and pay rich revenue in dues to
the governments controlling them. Not
withstanding the fact that pearls are De-
ing secured in great quantities, each year
the prices are increasing rather than
diminishing. because Of the greater num-
Der of women who are DESTROYS of pos
sessing them. One pink pearl was found
last year, near Torres strait, which
brought $4,000. Each month during the
pearl fishing season pearls are found
worth from $1,000 to $4,000. The most
famous pearl formation discovered re-
Gently is called the Southern Cross" 1t
consists of nine pearls Joined together in
a perfect cross. 1t was found on a South
Sea Island by beachcombers who were
superstitious and anxious to get rid of it.
They sold 1t for $50. 1t afterward brought
$4,000.
