BLACK PEARL OF BRISBANE
Giant Jewel Sc. ms to Exude an Air
Of UnfathomabIe Mystery, Writes
, Correspondent.

A certain air Of mystery seems to
attach to a black pearl, as much from
; it's rarity as from any other reason.
"There is at present In Brisbane"
writes a correspondent from that
Queensland city, "a very fine specimen
/ of black pearl, which has been brought
from the northern pearling grounds OF
the state by the owner, who is also
the owner Of large pearling feet. 1t
Is spherical in shape and jet black in
color. and it seems to exude an air OF
unfathomable mystery. One felt when
looking at it that it should form the
pivotal point of some great tragedy,
thing which should be the basis Of
cycle of weird events, involving the
lives and happiness of men and wom-
en-. The notorious Hope diamond must
have inspired somewhat similar feel
ings.
$50 far this black gem has had a
very uneventful career since its dis
covery in the shell Of the. oyster re-
sponsible for it's production. How
ever, it has long time ahead Of 1t II
it is anxious to live in history. The
probability is that it will ultimately
find It's way to the collection Of some
enthusiast on the lookout for curios OF
great value"

WORTH OF A SIMPLE RULE
Value Demonstrated by Novels He
roine Who Believed No Situation
Justified a Wrong Deed.

The heroine of novel Of more than
usual interest, by adhering persistent
ly to q maxim, saves several persons
from the consequences Of their weak
nesses and brings them to her own
point Of view in a truly astonishing
way. The nub Of her philosophy is
that if you do right, only good will
come of it and she proceeds from
the first chapter to work practical
proof of it among circle of people
bent on indulging their own wills ana
whims rather than doing right.
Some simple rule of conduct is q
convenience for everybody, says the
Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. 1t may
easily become a personal motto and
living up to it a fetish. That was the
case with the heroine of fiction; do
ing right was almost an obsession with
her, but for all that she was by no
means dull and the opposite OF In
sipid. She believed no situation justi-
fed a wrong deed and none was so
bad that a good one couldn't improve
it, so she persisted in doing right when
everybody else in the book-save one'
OF course-seemed determined to do
wrong. But she proved the worth OF
a simple rule In governing daily con-
tact with people.

When Water EoiIs.

The temperature of boiling water
may be varied by circumstances. What
we call boiling is the passage to the
surface Of the vapor which forms a.:
the bottom of a vessel Of water when
it is heated. The upward passage OF
the vapor through the water causes
commotion of bubbling which we call
boiling. But this condition does not
always indicate the same degree OF
heat. Water with common salt in it
requires more heat to make it boil
than pure water because the salt re-
tards the rising Of the vapor. The pres
sure Of the atmosphere affects the
boiling point. At sea level the boiling
point is 212 degrees, but at a consid-
erable distance above sea level 1t Is
less and at distance below sea level 1t
is more than PIP degrees. At the City OF
Mexico, 7,471 feet above sea level, wa
ter boils at 1913 degrees Of heat; at
Quito, 9,541 feet high, it boils at 1874
degrees, and In the Himalayas, at q
height Of $4,000 feet, it boils at 1SO de-
grees, or 80 degrees less thar at sea
level. 1t would be difficult to make
water boil at the bottom Of shaft
several miles deep. In elevated places
many substances cannot be cooked by
boiling; water will bubble and boil at
degree Of heat sufficient for
eeoking.

One Days Picture.

Each day frames its picture; work,
play, laughter, ennui, hoping, forget
ting, wasting and conserving. Each
day has its shifting point Of sight, it's
interesting study in the angles Of per-
spective, it's high lights and low tones.
And then tomorrow comes and yester-
day Is painted out, but the experience
and study of yesterday count in the
work of today. The artist Is more Of
an artist. The result is always mental
and spiritual and never material.
