Pearl F ound in Oyster
By Omaha Man Set at
High Value by Experts

A pearl, said by Omaha gem ex-
perts to be worth large sum, was
found in an oyster by Sam Wick
line, 1915 Maple street, while open
ing oysters and clans at his Key
stone Oyster bar, 322 South Fiji
teenth street, yesterday.
Wickline has been opening oy-
sters and clans there for the last
three years and estimates his labors
at more than 100000 of the bivalves.
This pearl is at "cat's-eye," &C
cording to Ivar G. Larson, of the
firm of Anderson & Berguist. 1t
is shaped like cone, without flaw
and of purplish tint. 1t is about
the size of a small "crockie" marble.
George Ryan of the Ryan Jewelry
Co., and a representative of the Lof-
tbs Brothers firm, pronounced the
gem a choice find, declaring it will
bring a fancy price. Wickline says
he is undecided as to whether or
rot he will sell it.

History Enriched by Recent
Excavations. Cloister of
Herod's Court Revealed

A dispatch from Palestine relates
the discovery at Askalon Of the fam
Gus cloister around the Court of
Herod the Great. The cloister, which
was built by Herod is described in the
writings Of Josephus as being Of
grandeur in it's conception and dis
playing great beauty of workman
ship. A gigantic statue Of Herod was
uncovered in excavations near the
cloister and also statues of Apollo,
Venus, and supposed Victory.
About the same time that the fore
going news was received, word reach
ed London that an Italian scholar
had unearthed at the ancient Greek
colony of Cyrene in Africa, block Of
black marble eight feet long bearing
a fawless Greek inscription of over
one hundred lines. The subject mat
ter is translation of letter issued
by the Roman Emperor, Agustus, on
the government Of Cyrene. The state
ments of the Emperor throw much
light upon the administration Of JUS
tice and the financial conditions of
the country in that day.

the existence of numerous hot springs
is referred to water that comes up
boiling from the depths through fis-
sures in the rocky strata. Many wells
in Owyhee County yield warm water,
plainly owing to lava flows, the re-
gion being one of comparatively re-
cent volcanic activity.
AS everybody knows, in the Yellow
stone National Park the flames of a
literal hell are not far below the sur
face of the ground. In the Fire Hole
district the whole country seems to be
on fire. The high-temperature phe-
nomena are merely exhibitions Of a
volcanic activity formerly much more
tremendous.

Hottest Spots in the u. S.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has newly completed study Of
earth-crust temperatures al lover this
country, and has found quite num-
Der of hot spots where volcanic heat is
manifestly accountable for records OBJ
tanned in deep mines and by lowering
thermometers into artesian wells.
Nor is this at all surprising when it
is considered that not so very long
ago much of our far western country
was fairly afame with eruptive fires
"a fact evidenced by numerous
"cinder cones" and volcanoes rather
recently extinguished, and by sheets
of lava thousands Of feet thick which
are spread over thousands of square
miles. These evidences Of dead vol
canoes are frequent.
For instance, in the mines of the
Comstock Lode, in Nevada, the tenn
perature at depth of only $500 feet
is 145 degrees-undoubtedly due to
hot volcanic material down below. At
depth of five miles there must be
a veritable furnace of molten rocks.
No wonder that toilers in the deeper
levels of the Comstock have to be con-
tinually sprayed with cold water to
enable them to do their digging!
Taking an average all over, the
temperature Of the earth's crust rises
one degree, in going down, for every
sixty feet of depth. But in places it
rises much faster. At Leadville the
rise is one degree for every seventeen
feet, and at Swede Corners (Col.) it
is one degree for every eight feet
owing, as is supposed, to volcanic
cause.

Our Dead in France

The report of the Commission of
Fine Arts on American Cemeteries in
Europe must give comfort to those
whose dead still lie in France, Bel
gium and England. 1t certifies that
the "existing cemeteries are excellent
ly cared for" and that even in the
case of small cemeteries and of iso-
lated graves there was evidence of re-
spectful and reverent care. So far as
the commission observed-and it's in
quiry covered the entire area of bat
tle-there was mot one instance of
neglect" This comprehensive report
is confirmed by every American who
has visited the graves of our soldiers.
A representatives of The Times found
the graves of the American soldiers
furthest to the east, on the edge of
Alsace, in the Vosges Mountains, as
neatly, gratefully and tenderly
"kept" by the people Of the hamlet a
mile away as the graves of their own
French soldiers. Further south, at
the foot Of the same range, in Lor-
raine, larger number of American
graves was found, not only well cared
for, but decorated with flowers by the
school children of the neighoring city.
These instances are typical of the
attention that is universally given
the graves of our soldiers who lie in
France.
The commission, however, looks to
such permanent and adequate care of
the American soldiers buried in
Europe as shall justify the action of
the relatives who elected to allow the
bodies of their dead 'to remain in the
soil for which they fought and died."
And the plan which the commission
proposes, if adopted, will mean that
those who are left yonder will be as
sured a care lasting beyond the lives
and special ministries of those who
now mourn their loss, but who can
pay their dead no higher honor than
that which their country and the wit
Messing world can give them where
they fell. The proposed plans are of
the simplest, but are appropriate and
impressive: (D Grounds, ample to
give an appropriate space for each
grave; (2) uniform headstones of
marble of such size as to allow (3)
the "green grass to count" and (4)
trees to cover the entire area. The
chief dependence will be not on archi-
lecture, but on the planting of trees
and almost every tree will grow in
France that will grow in America.
ct is interesting to note that for the
Canadians in their cemeteries the
maple is used, and for the Australians
the eucalptus.) Trees are also to
border the roads leading to the ceme-
teries from the nearest town or high
way. Finally, the plans contemplate
an acreage of such size as to allow
areas for monuments marking Amer
ica's valorous participation in the de-
cisive battles.
Our Government has been at an ex-
pense of ten millions of dollars, it is
stated, in bringing back the bodies of
the more than fifty thousand whose
next of kin wished them placed in
home cemeteries. 1t should not hesi-
tate for one moment TO give as gener-
Gus support to the proposals of this
commission, involving less than one
third this sum, for the lasting care of
the more than $4,000 who have found
immortal sepulture among the mil
lions from other countries who gave
York Times.

Laugh, If You Will, at the "Baby" Elopers
Elusive Thing Called
Happiness

TT is easy to feel amused If you're watching the
dentist pull the other fellows teeth.
And no doubt it is easy to smile at the other fell
lows matrimonial trials and tribuatons. Indeed
it becomes a rip-roaring joke when the parties at
interest are in what is frequently termed the puppy
age.
Ross of Portland and her 16-year-old husband,
Homer, and chuckled. 1t wasn't mere and fitting
smile of amusement You chucked You know
you did.
Kids playing at the marriage game" you prob
ably said And you weren't bit surprised that it
was about to end in the divorce court. 1t didn't APP
pear in the least bit tragic.
Now comes another chapter in the youthful ro-
nance. This baby" husband and ''wife" are re-
united Unbeknown to their parents, they sought
each other out; and eloped a second time
Life stretched out before Lucille Ross full of love
and happiness when she became the bride of young
Homer. She may not have been conscious of 1t, but
she was nstinctvely searching for that elusive thing
we call happiness. Homer, no doubt, felt he had
found it and would forever retain it.
Then, just as her fingers were about to clasp It,,
the lovely crystal shattered, the bit of thisedown
was carried away by the wind, the roses died and
turned hideous brown.
And now, almost suddenly as they were swept
into the divorce court they out of it again on the
uncharted matrimonial sea- again convinced that
happiness is theirs.
What are their chances?
There is no tragedy quite relentless that Of
too youthful marriage we told by authority.
Yet the pages of history are repete with great
loves that began in youth and remained constant
unto death 1t is not that youth is incapable of true
love- but that it too frequently misses the essential
ingredient of love and of happiness.
For what is happiness?
One of the best essays Happiness" was con-
tributed in Star contest few years ago by a ID
year old boy. We quote from 1912 files
"Happiness-that whc cannot be bought or sold
for moments attainable by ALL tho possessed
by few. While apparently negligible quality,
measured by earthly standard it is more
teefned and envied than the greatest honors con-
ferred by any earthly prince potentate. Fame
and ambition lay claim to it, and certain it
is that money alone does not bring it. Every mo-
tive has its ultimate end in happiness. and every
prayer has mention Of IL. mothers first
thought for her is. viii he be happy and the
whole wish of the bride is for happiness. The
way TO obtain happiness is set forth in the
following words True happiness comes only from
the JOY of serving others
"Happiness-that for which plot and
scheme all their lifetime It's formula is complete
it is yours to take-take it."
If the Ross couple, no younger than the boy who
wrote the above can understand the soul Of this essay
and can follow its precept they have their chance for
happiness. For neither "fame ambition can lay
claim to it, and certain it is that money alone does
not bring it."
Nor is it the possession merely of mature years.
