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

Dull. Says an Expert.
In his book. THE Magic of Jewels
and Charms" George F. Kunz. the
Jewel expert. explodes the sick pearl
tallacy. He says:
"For years a statement has been 60
tng 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, us
well as opals and turquoises. lose some
of their ulster when the owner or
wenrer becomes III and change to a
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 d.
-reeter Of the Louvre museum write
him a letter In this official communi-
cation the director not only states that
the pearls had not sickened and died.
but that they were In ms healthy a
condition as they had ever been.
1.-THE Invnriable 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
was started on its travels as 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.
auired."

"Freedom Of the Seas"

Nophrase has beeu used more loose
ly than that which heads this para
graph. What does it mean to you?
To Germany, as to Napoleon, Free
dom Of the Seas has meant In essence,
II not indeed in words, the crushing
Of Great Britain, whose control OF
ocean traffic kept her immune against
the French conqueror's attacks, as SO
far 1t has preserved her against Will
helms.
To more disintesested reformers
than the Kaiser Napoleon ana the
Kaiser Wilhelm, Freedom of the
Seas" has meant the immunity OF
private property at sea In war time
AZ lin peace time. Just what does
this mean?
Briefly, and generally, 1t means
handicapping any great naval power
to the profit Of any great military
lower. Specifically, it has meant IA
voring imperial France in the early
nineteenth century and imperial Ger
! many in the early twentieth century
IT means the surrender of her best
weapon by the greatest OF naval
powers.
Germany's argument for the Free
dom of the Seas would be more per-
suasive II private property on land
had been respected by that power.
Where has Germany respected pri-
vate property In Russian Poland? In
Serbia and Roumania? In northern
France? In Belgium?
Germany has upset, in fighting. NOM
inally, for Freedom OF the Seas (Which
in peace time, she enjoyed all inter-
national law. all the unwritten laws
OF humanity. She has hidden her sub
marines to strike without mercy at
neutral, no less than at beligerent,
traffic. She has destroyed hundreds
OF thousands Of tons Of Norwegian
and Dutch shipping, though she Is
not Mt war with Norway or with Hol-
land. She has destroyed American
shipping, and has hidden American
shippers to paint their ships like the
zebra and to follow certain prescribed
routes. and under no circumstances
to carry grain to French or English
ports. She .'blockades" those coasts.
And when we sent the German am
bassador to Halifax Zen route for
home). thepower which had set down
umiIiating rules for American ship
ping WAS powerless to fetch him away.
1t was President Wilson who arrang-
ed for his sailing on q Danish steam
er, and for safe conduct. But for the
courtesy of the American government
and the British sea power, Count
Rernstorf would have been made q
prisoner of Britain or of France as
soon as he had sailed three miles
from Sandy Hook Thanks, however,
to President Wilson, Bernstorf was
safe enough when he sailed-safe,
that is, except from drifting German
mines such as have cost hundreds Of
noncOmbative lives.
Freedom of the Seas may mean .
lot of things, but Germany knows
very little of its meaning.-Coliier's

In the early history Of Japan 1t was
decidedly dubious honor to be closely
