have for its object the passing of a
law which will govern the interstate
shipment Of reconstructed, synthetic or
scientific gems.
The principal object of the proposed
measure will be TO prohibit the inter-

manufactured pearls, except under con-
ditions analogous to the restrictions of
the pure food law. Such legislation is
required, it is cOntended, for the pro-

Mammoth Oysters.

Pliny mentions that, according to the
historians of Alexanders expedition.
oysters foot in diameter were found
in the Indian seas. And Sir James
Tenant was unexpectedly enabled to
corroborate the correctness of this
statement, for near Trincomali enor-
nous specimens of edible oysters were
brought before him. One of these was
found to measure more than eleven
inches in length by half as many in
width
But this traordinary measurement
is beaten by the oysters of Port Lin
coin, South Australia, which are the
largest edible ones in the world. They
are as large as a dinner plate and of
much the same shape. They are some
times more than foot across the
shell, and the oyster fits its habitation
so well that 1t does not leave much If
any margin. The delicacy Of flavor of
the Port Lincoln mammoth is famous,
even In that land of luxuries, and one
is ample even for a hearty appetite.

The Riuht Road.

Young man, you are locomotive;
you are thing that goes by power
inside of you; you are made to go. In
fact, considered as a machine, you are
very far superior to locomotive. The
maker of locomotive is man; your
maker is mans Maker. You are as
different from horse or an OK or a
camel as locomotive is different from
a wheelbarrow or cart or a coach.
Now, do you suppose Sthat the being
who made you-manufactured your
machine and put into 1t the motive
power-did not make a special road
for you to run upon? My idea of re
llgion is that it is railroad for hu-
man locomotive and that just as sure
as it undertakes to run upon road
adapted only to animal power it will
bury its wheels in the sand, dash itself
among rocks and come to inevitable
wreck.-J. G. Holland.

An echo is a sound reflected from
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses of the air, and when
those waves come in contact with
cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat,
and the returning waves cause a repe-
tition of the sound The word echo is
of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name of noun
tain nymph, daughter of the air anG
the earth. Echo was one of Juno's at
PENDANTS, but her loquacity displeased
Jupiter, so she was deprived of the
power of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
to. Afterward Echo fell in love with
a beautiful youth named Narcissus
and was changed into a stone, which
still retained the power of voice. Mil
ton personifies her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph that liv'st
