With hardly an exception there are
American pearls among the crown jew
els of every European ruler. In 1889,
at the Worlds Fair in Paris, there was
exhibited set Of seven black pearls
from these Mexican fisheries, valued at
that time at $4,000, today worth more
than 100000. One Of the largest
pearls ever found here was sold in
Paris to the emperor of Austria for
$4,000, and the Spanish government
presented Napoleon III. with a black
Mexican pearl valued at $4,000. In
the early eighties three magnificent
black pearls were found on the La Paz
fisheries, ranging in weight from % to
45 carats and worth from $1,000 to
each.

suez Canal.

One Of the greatest engineering pro-
1ects Of the world, the Suez canal Of
Egypt, was formally opened 49 years
ago. The canal cost $100OOO,OO0. The
festival given by the khedive in COM
memoration of the opening of the
canal cost $23,00O,OOO, or a fourth as
much as the canal. Cairo was gayly
decked for the event, which was at,
tended by the emperor of Austria, the
Empress Of France, and many other
high persOnages. The engineering
work Of the canal was under the di-
rection Of the great French engineer,
De Lesseps. The canal is So miles
long and has been widened to accom-
modate the largest ships of today.

German schooling has proved antag-
onistic to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in
the Century. 1t has failed to foster
real cooperation, for cooperation is a
method by which persons of their own
volition and by no compulsion may
work together harmoniously. Only
when training and schooling are the
common privilege of all is that state
of civic development possible which
permits society to become cooperative
in its action. In other words, a So
cialized society becomes more possible
only as all individual members acquire
each the widest vision, and thus the
power to cooperate harmoniously.

Chilly for kits.

The number of glances ordinarily ac-
corded to Canadian Highlanders in
kits, who are quite numerous in New
York, were augmented recently be-
cause of the chill breezes which
whipped the kilties Of the big soldiers
who walked up Broadway. Many Of
these glances rested on the tattooed
thistle which sprouted from the top
OF the Highlanders' stockings and COW
cred the side of their knees with its
purple blossom. Two newsboys ad-

and their methods and habits did not
change. The younger stepson had be-
come involved in one difficulty after
another and had become an expensive
burden. The older stepson had been
started twice in business by his indul-
gent stepfather to wind up insolvent.
That very morning this indOlent and
insolvent young man had joined his
father in the library with mock Sc
rious face and affected contriteness, to
detail story of money complication
that must be attended to or he was
liable to prosecution.
1t was then that Arthur Wayne had
counted up the cost of his subservient
adherence to this unworthy trio, to
find that what had once been a COM

made a settled resolve. He proceeded
to his lawyer. He had just returned.
He had sent a servant to summon his
stepdaughter.
She entered the apartment at last,
after delaying the interview for full
half hour. She was in careless negli-
gee and her dropping eyes and faded
cheeks told of late hour devotion to a
social function.
"You wished to see me?" she spoke
in tones suggesting a challenge of i'm
patience and Indifference, and the face
of her stepfather hardened.

B0LSHEV|k CHIEFS
 EXPECTED TO QUIT
Resignation Of Lenine and Trot- ky Anticipated in Petrograd

London, March 6.-Regardless of the fact that cessation of hostilities has been announced officially by Der lin, the invaders of Russia continue their advance toward the capital, and a growing feeling of hostility to them and against the treaty of peace is spreading in Russia, which appears likely to find decisive expression at the Congress of All-R Russian Councils at Moscow on March 12.
 Indeed, a Berlin dispatch received in Amsterdam forecasts the early resignation of Premier Lenine, and of Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, owing to their increasing unpopularity.
 It is reported by English corre- spondents in Petrograd that a section of the Bolsheviki is inclined to join the Left Social Revolutionaries the war spirit of which, according to the Daily Mails Petrog~ra,d correspondent, predominates and constitutes a for midable opposition to the peace party. This war party advises that the Petro- grad governm ental institutions be re- moved into the interior of Russia from where they can continue the fight against the Germans. It is sug- gested that the congress of the coun- cils will be made the pretext for evacuating Petrograd, under the ex- cuse that it is necessary for the gov ernm ental departme to attend the congress.
 Opposition to the Germans Is said to be greater in the Moscow and pro- vincial councils than in Petrograd.
 Reuters Petrograd correspondent, telegraphing Monday. says:
 "It seems improbable that the peace treaty will be ratified by the Congress of Soviets at Moscow March F. The delay of a fortnight grant ed by the Germans for ratification constitutes an opportune respite for the Soviets, which probably will be utilized in the organization of a. red army and the development of means of defense.
 By a, decision reached at an extra ordinary meeting of the Council of 1missaries-which was published before the signing of the peace treaty
 the evacuation of Petrograd is con templated together with a systematic destruction of all stores of provisions and war materials which cannot be removed.'
 A Petrograd dispatch to the Elk change Telegraph Company, dated Monday evening, says that a German airplane appeared over Petrograd at 5 o'clock in the afternoon and drop ped bombs. Airplanes also were seen flying over Nevsky Prospect, and the belief prevailed that the enemy was aiming at Nicholas station. Sunday night Zeppelins were observed at Gatchina, thirty-five miles from Pet rograd, flying toward the capital, but they were driven off by the anti air craft batteries.

he said, that the Germans were as- sisted in this matter by negligence on the part of ship owners who dis played lights instead of darkening their vessels.
 In the waters around the British Isles, which had been the chief field for submarine operations, the great est successes against the U-boats had been obtained so far, latterly with the help of American naval forces, he said. On the other hand. condi- tions in the Mediterranean had been more difficult. Losses there account ed for some 30 per cent of merchant ships sunk, he said. The resources for combating the submarines in those waters were less adequate and the successes obtained less satisfac- tory, he declared.
 It was becoming increasingly evil dent, the first lord went on, that as the resources for com batting the sub- marines improved it would be pos slble to turn attention more to the Mediterranean. He continued:
 T recently went to Rome for a meeting of the Allied Naval commit tee and also inspected naval estab- lishments in the Mediterranean, in- cluding those of the Greek navy. British naval officers arc assisting the Greeks in reorganization of their navy, which already is cooperating s in the Mediterranean and rendering valuable service"
 It was perhaps natural he said that cooperation between Great Brit ain and the United States should be extremely close. He said he wished publicly to pay tribute to the whole hearted and generous devotion to prosecution of the war which gov erned the action of every representa- tive of the United States Navy with which they came into contact. The personnel of all ranks, he said, had the respect and esteem of the off, cers of the British Navy.
 Concerning shipbuilding, he said there was no lack of materials at the present time, and that there were more men in the yards, but the out put reached only 5S,000 tons in Jan uary, although it should have been much larger. It was true, he said that the weather was exceptionally bad, and also that January, owing to the holidays, always was a. bad month for the output of ships. He expressed the opinion that February would be shown to have made nearly twice as only about two thirds of what the same yards had done previously with fewer men.
