Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blackish pearls, which are
more or less fiattened 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 a small
avicula that has a beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
is usually less than six centimeters In
diameter, and have never seen a pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than No. @ shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

Barrier 70 sIoht Of stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept
ance is that In the void Of interstellar
space there is a substance which wells
from our view the stars beyond q GER
tain limit Of distance. Consisting pre-
sumably Of microscopic and widely
scattered particles, it nevertheless
makes a barrier to vision when dis
tances are sufficiently great.
In other words, IL we were far
enough away from the sun there would
be enough Of these particles between
ourselves and that 1uminary to render
1t invisible to US.
DR.. O. G. Abbott OF the Smithsonian
institution, said that the estimated
density Of this substance is one tril-
lionth of that of the air we breathe.
Pretty thin, one might say. And yet

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 and
simplest conception is a man astride
log, propelling II 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 q 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-
tiated into a 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 q
rotating axle.
OF two shorter sections of tree trunks
attached to rotating axle; fiat, round
cylinders of stone doubtless were used
as well, and later a considerable ad-
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,
in the effort to stimulate even greater
improvements.

Possible to Be Too Abrupt.

It Is said that W. 8. Gilbert, the
English dramatist. when he called on
his friends, always made a quick exit.
His alert temperament was evidently
opposed to dawdling. He knew how
tedious lingering farewells could be.
Now and then one meets some one
Of his kind, alert, definite, considerable
of others and Of himself as well.
But, Of course, In this regard 1t is
possible to oyerdo. There are those
who leave so quickly that they create
a sense of abruptness and possibly Of
concern as well. Their departure may
be followed by such remarks as ''Why
did he leave in that wayP' or "Could
she have been hurt about anything7"

The gypsies passed her little gate
She stopped her wheel to see
A brown-faced pair who walked the

Free as the wind is free,
And suddenly her tidy room
A prison seemed to be.
She watched the foot-free gypsies

She never knew or guessed

Some day to know home like hers
Wherein their hearts might rest.

"The Seven Swans"

DNNCh
The beautiful fantasy presented by
the Paramount Film Co., featuring
Marguerite Clark, will be shown at
the Temple today and Friday.
Miss Clark's performance grows in
merit as the theme of the tale affords
her more emotional opportunity. The
idea is that of girlish devotion and
self-sacrifce She must preserve 81
lence under trying circumstances
while weaving a spell to restore her
seven lost brothers. She weaves in ST
lence when implored to declare hel
love by Prince Charming, when word
would restore her to her father, when
it means death at the stake if she
does not speak, weaves up to the last
moment, when horrible death is immi-
nent, to be saved and restored to those
for whom she has risked so much.
Miss Clark endows the character with
great sweetness, submission and re-
pressed emotion, displaying high
qualities as an artist in subtle revela-
ton of feeling during this trial.
While it is difficult to make a story
of this kind interesting in these days
of stress and storm, especially when
its appeal is to imagination and SYM
pathy of childhood, good construction
results, after the action is well under
way, in a suspense which holds to the
last. The presentation pleased a
large audience at the Strand in New
York, where it was first shown.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Alfred, with
their daughter, Mrs. Laird w. Hen
bricks, and the latter's two interest
ing children, Masters Robert Hen
bricks and Laird Hendricks Jr., have
arrived from Stamford, Conn.,, and
will spend a couple of months in Jack
sonville. They formerly resided in
Ocala and Port Inglis, and have a wide
circle of friends in Jacksonville, who
will be delighted to know that they
will remain for some time.-Times-
Union.
Mae Marsh, one of Grifith's stars,
ard now member of the Goldwyn
Film Co., has even more admirers in
Ocala since her appearance here
Tuesday night in "The Cinderella
Man" Miss Marsh has been seen here
several times; at first she was termed
'cute," and her parts clever and
amusing. Then she came in "Intoler-
ance," where she did some wonderful
acting, but even then many critics
said, eyes, she's splendid actress, but
she surely isn't pretty" Even these
were won over Tuesday night, as in
that picture she took the part of a
society girl, with her hair beautifully
arranged and many beautiful gowns,
all of which made Miss Marsh an
ideal star, and she won all hearts in
the audience.
The price of admission to "The
Seven Swans" will be fifteen cents
for children and twenty-five cents for
adults, and the same prices for the
night shows. This price includes the
war tax. Upon asking friend this
morning if she knew of any news, she
replied Marguerite Clark is coming
to town-and that enough good news
for one day."
