something of the country round about;
they were good fighters, doubtless, but
in spite of their shiny new weapons
they resembled soldiers even less than

pointed patent-leather shoes. Never

The Kremlin was the second capital
OF the empire after the removal of the

walls is the great palace completed in
1S49, and here. too, are the most won

Barrier 70 Sight Of Stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept

Xarietiea Of Rearla

Among the varieties Of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blacklist pearls, which are
more or less flattened and lack the
jet black luster and perfect shape Of
the so-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls Of a
golden luster are secured from q small
avicula that has beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
Is usually less than six centimeters in
diameter, and have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than a No. 8 shot. The big, perfe city

BORN OF DESIRE FOR SPEED
From Earliest Ages Man Has Sought
Methods Of Transportation Other
Than His Feet.

Doubtless the first form Of construc-
tive transportation was by the boat in
the form Of float and our earliest end
simplest conception is a man astride
q log, prOpelling 1t by hand and foot.
The idea Of propulsion stimulated to
activity the inventive genius Of mans
mind, and we find him developing vari-
GUS modes Of land conveyances. The
camel was drafted into service with
the elephant, the horse and other ami
mails. Then came the sledge, the first
OF natures own construction, simply
a fOrked tree limb.
This gradually developed into a more
perfect mode Of conveyance, being
mounted on rollers or logs, and here
began the development of the axle and
the wheel. The most primitive form
OF wheel was the simple roller made
from a tree trunk, afterward differen-
tated into pair Of fixed wheels by
trimming down the middle portion Of
the cylinder in such a manner as to
leave the center Of the trunk as a
rotating axle.
The next step was the substitution
OF two shorter sections Of tree trunks
attached to a rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders Of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later q considerable adj
vancement was marked by the substi-
tuition Of the fixed axle on which the
cylinders rotated.
The cart wheel similar to that which
may today be seen in the remote dis.
tricts Of Mexico, Is doubtless the next
noteworthy advance, and from these
primitive steps We find Aristotle and
other Greek philosophers interesting
Themselves in these important advance
ments and earnestly agitating the
minds Of the mechanics of that period,

nerve him up. After he has fought
for twenty minutes he will find the
sweat starting from his brow. The Off
Ger in command will call a halt and
every soldier will pull out his hand

sailors with million handkerchiefs,
such as l have described. They are
thankful to me. Many of them write
me letters expressing their thanks. I
don't see the use of figuring"
"Well, dear, how many yards of
cambria have you got to buy to make
million handkerchiefs? At four
handkerchiefs yard, you have got
to buy two hundred and fifty thousand
yards. That's what mean by figuring"

about one cent for every ten."
