LIFE OF A PEARL.
A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nor
Dull, Says an Expert.

A Good Jewel Never Gets Sick Nor
Dull, Says an Expert.
In his book. 1.-THE Magic Of Jewels
and Charms" George F. Kunz, the
Jewel expert. explodes the sick pearl
tallacy. He says:
"For years statement has been 60
ing through the press that pearls are
liable to become diseased and die and
that the famous necklace of pearls pre-
sented by President Theirs Of France
to his wife and bequeathed by Nine.
Theirs to the French government had
lost their luster and died. perhaps ow-
ing to the death Of the owner. For
there is IN old belief that pearls, as
well as Opals and turquoises. lose some
Of their luster when the owner or
wearer becomes Ill and change to q
dull and lifeless hue when the owner
dies.
AN examination of the necklace by
the writer showed that the pearls were
In good condition, and to confirm his
statement to this effect he had the di.
rector of the Louvre museum write
him letter. In this official communi-
cation the director not only states that
the pearls had not sickencd and died.
but that they were In as healthy a
condition as they had ever been.
1.-The invariable experience Of the
writer has been that whenever pearls
have been said to have suffered In this
way the true explanation has been that
they were old and poor at the time of
their purchase and that this romance
wns started on its travels MS an excuse
to cover up the defect of such pearls
and to arouse the belief that they had
been remarkably beautiful and valu.
able when they were originally &c.
CURED

Where there is exhausted. soil'
usually 1t Is the. loss of humns that
causes the condition. Get sufficient
vegetable matter back into the soil.
and usually applying manure Is the
quickest way to accomplish this. Give
n dressing Of lime to ncutralize 1t In
case the soil Is sour, and the fertility
will be restored. Proper cultivation
md handling thereafter. working In
vegetable matter every year, will keep
it in condition.-New York Sun.

Powder Found in Coal
On Liner in Brooklyn
Laborer Discovers Explosive
as Caracas's Bunkers Are
Being Filled

A tin box containing black powder
was found in coal which was being
taken aboard the Red d liner Caracas
at Pier II, foot OF Clark street, Brook-
lyn, yesterday afternoon. The Caracas
was loaded with a cargo hound for
South America. The coal had been
brought from South Amboy, n. j., or
the barge Evelyn, owned by William VI.
Piper.
The box was detected in the coal by
Carlo Mazda, a laborer, who was in
specting the coal as it slid down the
chute into the bunkers. As the powder
can came tumbling along he thought it
was piece of clinker and fshed it out
of the coal.
When the box was opened at the
Brooklyn police headquarters By De
tectiye George Maser OF the bomb
squad. some of its contents were placed
in pan and lighted. 1t went up in a
puff of smoke. Detective Maser de-
clared that had the entire amount
reached the fires under the steamers
boilers while she was at sea serious
damage would have resulted.
II has been the practice for years, il
was said, to coal Red d line ships from
the same barge, and since the war ex-
treme prccaution had been taken to
prevent just such happening as yes
terday's.
