CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By H. IRVING KING
PEARLS
Observation-Disclosures

THERE is an ancient and deeply
L rooted superstition that pearls
have such sympathetic connection
with their owner that they lose
their luster when the owner sickens
and change to a dull and lifeless hue
when the owner dies. Madame Theirs
had famous necklace of pearls pre-
sented to her by her husband, the
president Of France, which she left In
her will to the French nation. The
story at once began to go abroad that
these pearls had "sickened and died"
owing to the death Of their owner.
This story appeared at intervals for
several years and came to be accepted
by the majority of people as a
strange fact" Then DR.. George
Frederic Kunz, an authority on the
history Of precious stones, went to the
Louvre where the necklace was de-
posted and made an examination.
The pearls were In perfect condition.
He had the director of the Louvre
museum write him letter on the SUBJ
ject and the director In the letter
stated that the pearls were then and
had always been in perfectly
healthy" state. The story had no
foundation whatever and yet there are
thousands today who will quote you
Madame Theirs pearls as a proof Of
the truth of the superstition.
Doctor Kunz suggests that this idea
of the "sickening and death" Of pearls
was invented by INSCRIPTIONS persons
to account for the deteriorated ap-
pearance Of gems which were no good
in the first place. But the antiquity
and ubiquity of the superstition would
hardly bear out that superstition. The
origin of the superstition must be
looked for among those mystic and
NEUROLOGICAL conceptions with which
the ancients surrounded the pearl,
principally it would seem because Of
the Ito them) mystery of its origin.
The dews Of heaven according to
Pliny, the tears Of the Naiads accord
ing to the Greeks, the blood of a
princess according to the Tonquinese,
are among the many origins anciently
assigned for the pearl. And always
the pearl has been accredited with
possessing particular affinity with
its owner or wearer. Some primitive
people today wear them as amulets
to bring them health and luck; while
others reject them as bringing bad
luck and sapping their vitality. As
late as 1892 a German scientist seri-
ously discussed the question as to
whether the mysterious deaths Of
Popes Leo ~ and Paul II might not
have been largely caused by the great
number Of pearls those pontiffs were
in the habit of wearing.

For Meditation

THE MELTING POT

a VERY interesting experiment Is
\ the fusion of two metals with
steel until the molten mass becomes
almost as hard as the diamond. The
heat Of an ordinary laboratory fur
mace Is not sufficient to fuse the
metals, so a chemist stands by the
crucible and at the proper time
throws in pieces Of phosphorus. The
intense heat thus produced causes the
fusion Of the three metals to take
place instantly. The balance of pow
er Is never In the hands Of him who
with spectacular methods or cunning
devices seeks to advance the prog
ress of any cause or institution. Re
serve strength, conservative and suf-
ficient for its task, is content to wait
until the proper moment arrives for
the throwing in of the phosphorus.
Reserve strength, when it is sure that
1t possesses the balance of power
can well afford to wait for the &C.
complishment Of life's purpose. The
inherent quality of the steel in the
experiment did not demand. 1t gave
fits all. The fusion was made possible
through the steel losing its Identity In
the struggle Of civilization to "carry
on" no personal possession should be
selfishly held so dear that by holding
II we are In danger Of retarding prog
reSs. The two metals were fused
with the steel, not because 1t was
steel. but because It possessed the
proper and stronger qualities and In
the right proportion. II American
democracy with its ultimatum for uni
versal peace and prosperity is funda-
mentally right, then we need enter
tain no fear of its final victory. The
result will contain the fusion Of all
metals essential to the demands of a
new world. All nonessentials, nom
affinities will pass of, as did the use
less gases when the crucible shall
have yielded its costly but glorious
result-a universal peace. The steel
came out of the crucible harder than
before. It really was no longer steel.
A new metal had been formed through
the process Of the fusion. Out of the
melting pot Of our cosmopolitan civil
lization, to which every nationality on
the earth has contributed, will Ill
timately come the true democracy In
which love. justice and service shall
become the ruling principles.

How 1t Started
"PIGMY"
By JEAN NEWTON

THIS is word that comes to US
i out of the page Of Greek mythol-
ogy, where we find the ''pygmies,"
nation of dwarfs, who lived near the
sources of the Nile, or, as some au-
thorities have placed them, In India.
The "Pygmies" took their name
from the Greek word which means
a cubit, the old measurement for
about Ii inches, which described their
height.
In Homer we learn of the cranes
who used to migrate every winter to
the Pygmies' country and whose ap-
pearance was always the signal Of
warfare to the little dwarfs, who had
to arm themselves against their foe.
Later writer's tell of an army Of
Pygmies who found the great Her

This acid is very poisonous and should
