The Fairfield board of education
VIII hold meeting Tuesday night
to determine definitely upon a school
site for this city, which is a very
pr cssing need at this time. 1t is APP
parent to those informed of the
progress of negotiations between Of
ficials and owners of the sites want
ed that there is little probability Of
an amicable adjustment. 1t is con-
Sidered very likely that the city will
have to invoke its power of eminent
domain and secure the desired sites
through appraisals as fixed by the
laws regulating these problems. 1t
was stated Monday that the tracts
controlled by J. w. Mcqueen of the
Sloss company, j. j. Walker, j. IL.
Perkins of Ensley. and that con-
trolled by the Bursin interests, will
be priced at $4,000 per acre. The
city will most likely decline to pay
over $1,000, which is considered a
fair figure. 1t was also stated that
some of those interested in the acre
age had held out for $500 per acre.
Fairfield is so situated that no other
site is available, and unless it is pos
sible to effect an adjus tment of the
the site viii be secured
through the courts, it is stated.

PREFER THE YELLOW PEARL
Oriental Peoples Consider the colored
Gem Superior to the white In
Many Respects.

Most persons have placed the lus-
trous white pearl above all others. The
Chinese, however, together with other
eastern peoples, prefer the yellow
pearl, believing that It preserves both
luster and color longer than the white.
This pearl is said to owe its yellow
to the fact that the oysters have been
allowed to die and putrefy in their
shells, the shells opening Of them
selves on the death Of the oyster.
This custom has been ascribed to
the fact that the pearl generally lies
close to the edge of the shell, and II
Is feared that many fine pearls would
be spoiled II the process of opening
the shell with knife were practiced.
Black pearls are very much valued.
The famous necklace of black pearls
belonging to the late Empress Eugene
was sold for $4,000.
Pink pearls are much desired among
the Buddhlsts, who employ them pro-
nlseiE In bR. adarptne.af .thei,. tamnlas.
to place pink pearl In the mouth Of
a dead relative or friend before Gre

have decided to comply with the re
quest made in January under the sig.
patures Of Prime Minister Bonar Law,
quith, David Lloyd George and Lord
Grey, to erect tablet In the abbey In

The tablet will be placed near the
monument TO James Russell Lowell, at

which warmly approves the decision of
the church authorities, says II would
be peculiarly fitting to place me-
mortal to the late vlscount Bryce in

that of Mr.. Page as strenuous and
convincing worker In the same cause"
