National Museum Gets opals.

The National museum in Washing
ton has just received from Archie
Rice, an opal expert in New York,
100 specimens Of gem opal In the
rough just as they come from the
only opal mines In the United States.
The opals are red, white, blue, black,
brown, green and purple; two have
replaced fossil wood, and three DOS
sibly fossil bones.
The mine is located in Humboldt
county, Nevada, about a mile above
sea level and some 200 miles inland
from the Pacific; not very accessible,
since the railroad town of Winnie
mucca is about 120 miles away. Be
cause of the high altitude, the or
binary water content of the opals is
often injuriously affected when they
are removed from the ground.
Thus far, excavation for opals has
gone only to depth OF 20 or 80 feet.

"She might make you nervous" she
said dubi0nsly.
Il don't think So" replied the doc
tor, smiling. "Tm so much better. We
won't speak of this to John, and i
won't get nervous" He made the
last promise because the girls face
was troubled and anxious.
Tonnibel nodded and hurried out.
She knew which room Mrs Curtis &C.
cupied and sought the other wing Of
the house. When she knocked at the
door, a woman's voice called a low:
"Come in"
Tony stepped inside and, turning,
shut the door before she took a sur
vey of the room. When she did, she
almost tainted. Reggie Brown, the
awful man she had known in the
canalboat days, the man who had
dropped the poison INTO Paul Pendle-
Ravens medicine, was seated very
near Mrs. Curtis, and Katherine was
by the window, wearing a very bored
expression.
An exclamation came from each
one of the three as the girl faced
them, looking rs if she were ready to
collapse.
you didn't get the money then,
girl" demanded Mrs. Curtis, sharply.
Reggie dear, didn't tell you last
night, but your Cousin John refused
me when l asked him for help ard
had to reach Paul through"
Tony's eyes were on Reginald, who
was crouching lower in his chair. Her
forward, staggering step broke off the
speakers explanation.
You want the money for him?" she
cried, pointing finger toward the
cringing boy.
Mrs. Curtis nodded.
Eyes, he's my son." she answered.
Tony drew long breath, letting it
hiss out through her teeth
IF he's your son, ma'am," she said
falteringly, "then you got a murderer
for son. He tried-he tried to
poison Doctor Paul"
Mrs. Curtis got up slowly, a cold
rage rising in her pale eyes. Kath-
crime came forward to her mothers
side, but Reginald remained silent.
"You lie" snarled Mrs. Curtis
II don't lie," cried Tony, hoarsely.
Il don't lie, either. Look at him, and

DAY or HORSE ALMOST GONE
Increasing Use Of Motor Apparatus
Will Soon Make Him Only a
Loving Memory.

A defective ilue had brought the
fire department to Tenth and Te-
cumseh streets. New, bright red mo-
tor apparatus came rushing up from
half-dOzen firehOuses. Presently a
worn old hook and ladder truck, horse
drawn, appeared on the scene. 1t car
ried just the ladders the fremen need
ed to reach the fire.
The crowd that gathered smiled at
the picture. The old horses seemed
TO know that they were playing an
important part, even In the presence
OF their enemies, the motor apparatus.
1t was picture of a changing time.
One by one the motor machines turned
away, leaving the horse machine to
finish the job.
Somehow, the crowd moved toward
the horses and, one by one men,
women and children, paused to stroke
the names or pat the noses of the
faithful old beasts that now are fast
passing to the Land Of Memory.
And, somehow, the horses seemed to
know and understand. Their heads
were not down, however. Instead,
they looked around and saw that the
enemy had left the fight to them.
"Still on the job" they would have
said had the crowd the power to UNI
derstand them.

TOBACCO USERS NOT IMMUNE
Only Germs OF Cholera and Meningitis
Succumb TO Smoke or Juice Z
Of Nicotine. \

Professor Puntoni of the University
OF Rome has performed series Of ex-
periments by way Of determining
whether tobacco smoked or chewed,
would act as disinfectant against dis
ease germs. For the purpose he used
Tuscany cigars, Macedonian cigar
cites and "very strong chewing to-
bacco." He placed a piece of paper
covered with save which contained
the germs Of cholera, influenza, dlph-
iberia, typhoid and meningitis in
glass jar and then filed the Jar with
smoke or covered the paper with to-
bacco juice, says New York Evening
Post.
He has arrived at the depressing con-
clusion that, except In the case of
cholera and meningitis, tobacco is pow
erless In the presence of germs. As to
typhoid and diphtheria, he exposed the
bacilli to the strongest of smoke from
Tuscany cigars for one hour, ana
they were as robust at the end of the
experiment as at the beginning.
AS to tuberculosis, Professor Pun
toni says that the most inveterate
smoker or chewer can hope for no pro-
lection from his indulgence. The ele-
ments of tobacco that disinfect In the
case of cholera and meningitis are
tar, nicotine and fOrmaldehyde.

who only thinks he knows" The
cOnnoisseur is cognizant of the true
principles Of art, and through his
knowledge is compete y pass a
critical judgment concerning any art,
particularly of painting, sculpture or
music. He is of higher trade than
the amateur, and more nearly ap-
prOaches the artist, whose rules of ac-

arts In desultory way and for amuse-

from inertia of mind, admirable for
observation, incapable of turning it to

SATISFIED WITH DULL LIVES
sIamese Require Little, and Have a
Government Which Sees That
They Get II.

Bangkok, for all its modern water
works and trolley cars, is a fairy-tale
land, with fairy-tale king, writes
Florence Burgess Meehan in Asia
Magazine. In Bangkok the king is O
reality, not a fgurehead. Two or
three times a day whistles announce
his approach along the street, as he
takes the route to or from the golden
rooted palace and the audience hall
two miles distant.
Rama VI, Oxford graduate, play
wright poet and keen administrator
Is perhaps the most absolute of all the
mOnarchs left on earth. He is an
autocrat, but his government is more
like an advanced state socialism
than anything else. The state owns
the main lines of the railroads, the
oil fields, the forests and the mines.
The street cars and waterworks and
the lighting system of the capital are
state property, and the king is the
state.
Slamese are satisfied with autoc-
racy. liam seems to be the happiest
land in the world. It has no exclu-
sion laws. 1t has no class struggle.
They are a happy-go-lucky people.
Their by-word is "Mypenary" ("What

little rice paddles, and work at jewell
ry or ivory carving or weaving, but
they almost invariably remain crafts

PrlekIx Pear Worries Australians.

The kind of cactus which we called
the "prickly pear" has become first
class nuisance in Australia. 1t grows
very fast, spreads with great rapidity
and forms masses Of vegetation so
dense that the clearing of ground once
occupied by the plant is accomplished
with utmost difficulty. Incidentally,
1t renders the land unavailable for
agricultural purposes.
In response to urgent request, our
government is sending to Australia,
certain insects that prey upon the
prickly pear. Hope is entertained that
they may do enough damage to dis
courage the spread of the cactus
plague in that part of the world.-Phil-

CHAPTER xIII-continued.


When he got upstairs he looked at
himself in the glass. How white and
thin he had grown He looked as If
be had died and was trying to come
10 life again. He was frightened al
most out of his wits too. Then Tom
nibel Devon really was in the house. 1t
hadn't been her ghost that had thrown
him bodily from the window sill after
all. Uriah, knowing that, had come
and made q demand for his daughter
and had been arrested Perhaps he
would be arrested also, and for a
crime worse than stealing. Had the
girl mentioned the fact of his trying
to poison Paul Pendlehaven? If she
hadn't, would she? When Mrs. Cur
tbs came in to ask how he felt, he was
crumpled in a big chair, shaking as
If he had been attacked with ague.
'My goodness, Reggie, you look
awful" she said, coming to his side.
''Tell me, child, what's the matter?"
there's matter enough" faltered
the boy. "If you don't want me ar
rested like that man today, then give
me some money to get out with"
He dropped his head, and for mo-
ment she stood staring at him. Then
her mother-heart relaxed, and she
sank beside his chair.
Darling she crooned, darling
boy, go to your Cousin John and tel!
him all about 1t. He will forgive you
and help you"
The boy bounded up, maddened be-
yond endurance.
"Great Cod" he cried, "he'd box
me up for ten years! No. no, you've
got to help me get away from Ithaca.
/ must have money!"
"Wait," said Mrs. Curtis, and she
hurried from the room.
When she appeared before Doctor
John in his office, he arose hastily.
whats the matter, Sarah?" he
asked.
"John," she entreated, forgetting to
raise her handkerchief to wipe away
her tears, II must have some money
tonight. A lot of it,"
"For Reggie?" doomed forth Pend
dlehaven.
"Yes, he's sick, and I want to send
him away, John. Oh! You can't re-
fuse me this, you simply can't"
"Going away doesn't seem to help
your son any, as see," answered the
doctor. "He might better stay home.
Wait till tell you something, Sarah,"
he went on with a wave of his hand |
to stop her plea. "You are running
that boy. Three-quarters of the time
you don't know where he is, and he
drinks like a fish,"
The woman knew what her cousin
said was true; but the money she had
to have. Yet she dared not confess
what made it necessary.
But this time, john" she wept
brokenly, hell go to a place / send
him. He's promised he would. John,

the book he had been reading.

money for that boy" said he. "Let
him stay awhile, Sarah, and see how
that works out. No. no, there's
no use of your begging me, / refuse

is four weeks of five school days (Sec-
ton 1O44 C. S.. take it then, that
if teacher signs contract for q
seven months school term she obli-
gates herself to actually teaching lao
days including one week of institute
which the law provides for and calls
school work and such holidays as are
named in the school law. 1t seems
that in different sections of the state
school boards have been willing some-
times to give to the teachers week
or more at the time of the Christmas
holiday season. do not believe
there is anything in law that will JUS
tify this. Teachers certainly cannot
expect school boards to pay them fol
the time they do not work. Our chill
dren need all the service that oul
teachers can give. Including institut'
week as part of the school year, th'
law contemplates that teachers will
work conscientiously during such ;
week to improve themselves ant
make themselves of more value to tn
district in which they are employed.
