JEWELS FROM BLAY SCALES
rhis Much Known of the Secret oF the Creation of Artificial
 PearIs.

As the real pearl comes from the oyster. so to large extent Is the manufacture of artificial pearls de- pendent on certain species of fish The complete processes are of course trade secrets, but 1t is of interest to note that 1t Is from the brilliant scales of the ablet, or play. that es- sence d'Orient is produced and It Is with this essence that imitation pearls are manufactured.
 The play Is described as "a small Ash with a green back and a white belly" and the essence is obtained exclusively from the white scales, which are covered with a pigment of metallic appearance
 They are first treated with am- monia and then with tish glue. a pow der being first obtained and then a paste which can be easily spread on glass.
 about 1858, this essence d'Orient was applied to little balls of plaster, but the temperature and the lamp heat of the human body modified the ad- hesive qualities of the pearly matter and caused changes of color.
 It was in 1880 that Parisian named JacQuin invented method of cover ing small glass balls with the same essence d'Orient, thus producing the first practical artificial pearls.
 h the north and east of France and in Germany play fishing is ac- lively pursued. About 1000 are re- quired to produce pound of scales. which in turn gives quarter of a pound of the essence. The price of the scales varies between SITS and 32.i0 a pound.

HAVE LESS CAUSE TO WORRY
Explain the Superior Longevity of Women.

Though doctors have long realized sanitation and personal hygiene. people are living longer than formerly. the much greater relative longevity of women as shown in the recently pub lished English national debt off1ce's re- port on the mortality of government life annuitants has come as a general surprise.
 In a summary of these figures It was shown that the expectation of life of a woman of fifty is now more than year greater than 1t was in 1875, while that of man of the same age is only three months greater
 \ London physician says that the essential cause Of death Ia a wearing out from overwork of orr brain cells. Women may be juxt as brainy as men. but do not work with their brain cells as vigorously or as continuously as do their male relatives. If they did there would not be so great a disparity in the length of life of the two sexes"
 Another consultant puts down wom ans greater expectation of life to the more sheltered existence she leads, and the lack of the physically depres- sing competition which is part of nearly every mans life A woman may have hard work 10 do.' he explained. but except for the few who work In offices or who follow professions. they work in their own homes and at a pace they set for themselves. The home is also. as a rule. vastly more airy. sunny and generally more wholesome than is her husbands shop or office"

REPORTERS IN BIBLICAL DAYS
Western Editors Praise of Theie Pow srs of Condensation Seems Not
 Really Merited.

h stray newspaper clipping in- tense admiration Is shown for a vest ern editor and the stirring thoughts he had expressed concerning the repor- ters Of Biblical days. It seems that he started with the admonition: Don't imagine those old fellows did not know how to write for newspaper" He cited the ninth chapter of John. the story of the miracle of the blind man, as the finest example of contemporary reporting, He declared that the repor- ter was on the ground and that he told what he saw in clear, short style. With few exceptions. the words are entirely monosyllables."
 The enthusiasm evinced Is catching, but the short words" must give us pause What was the editor thinking about: Apparently he had the much praised Saxon of the King James yer sion in mind. and there Is no evidence that the reporter could have told a Saxon from hairy Ainu, or that the words of either of them would have been intelligible to him. In fact, a learned Grecian informs us that these barbarians were without the vocation al training for reporting. and that the story was written down in his Ian guage. AS an example of the monosyl- fables in one short sentence he pre- sents the following: "Hupage nipsai els ten kolumbethran tou Siloam (ho hermeneutai apestalmenos)
 It would appear that the editor was suffering from such a great moral ava. ksning that he threw his brain depart ment out of gear

1 SPAN OF LIFE LENGTHeNED
Science. Invention and Education Aave All Combined to Reduce tho
 Death Rate

Whatever pessimistic scientists may say about our general claim Of prog ress-a certain leading thinker or the day. for example going 30 far as to deny that humanity has advanced either intellectually or morally In 6.. 900 years or so-one thing Is certain. comments a Chicago newspaper edi- torially Science. invention and oopu- lar education have notably reduced the death rates and added materially 10 the average span Of life.
 A recent New York health report shows that in that state, In 20 years. the general death rate has fallen from 20 to l5.4 per thousand. while child hood mortality has fallen from three eights of the total number of deaths to one-quarter Of it. Despite & 45 per cent increase in population. the an nual number Of child deaths is actual. ly less now than it was even Is years ago.
 Three things account chiefly for these remarkable gains-antitoxin for diphtheria. the purificatlon of water and milk, and the intelligent treatment of incipient tuberculosis
 What Is true of New York Is true of every other state and fairly progress siye nation. And as we all realize, the successful campaign against the ravages of foul air diseases and i'm pure water or milk has but begun. A still greater reduction Of death rates may confidently be looked for in the next 20 years. Let us see 10 It that the longer and healthier lives are also happier lives. Justice. culture and hu- manity are the conditions Of happi- ness.

 Rufe Hawkins was shot and killed Saturday afternoon near Robertsville by his brother in-law, Fen Andrews. There had been bad feelings between Hawkins and the Andrews family for several years and several fights had been indulged in at different times. Saturday Hawkins started to a mill several miles from his home and took his children to Grandpa Hawkins to spend the day while he went after lumber. On returning about o'clock, he stopped near the Andrews home, where a new building was being erect ed, and at once proposed to lick any one on the ground. He soon espied Fen Andrews and started towards him. Andrews grabbed his shotgun and warned Hawkins to keep away, but Hawkins, who was said to be drinking, refused to stop, and when only few feet away was shot in the abdomen. He lived until Sunday aft ernoon. The killing was not unex- pected.

 The oriental Ruby of pigeon-blood color is the most valuable.
