Famous French Castle
Built by English King

The Chateau Gaillard, built by
Richard Occur de Lion, is one of
the most picturesque ruins In
France today. 1t is between Rouen
and Paris and was built by the
English king, who is said to have
been his own architect. 1t was
erected in one year, with walls II
feet thick. Richard called it his
"Saucy Castle" as it was built in
defiance of Philip Augustus, king
of France.
When the French king saw it
he vowed, Il will take it, were it
made of iron" to which Richard re-
piled, And / will hold it, were it
made Of butter"
Richard died in 1199 and Philip
took the castle by siege, but the
garrison surrendered only at the
point Of starvation. Henry V Of
England retook the castle after a
siege of 16 months, when the ropes
We're worn out with which the be-
sieged drew water from the well.
The castle was considered the best
specimen of military architecture
in Europe.
"Saucy Castle remained intact
until 1904, when King Henry " of
France dismantled it, lest a strong
er than he make it a stronghold.

Many Fanciful Theories
Concerning the Pearl

The history of the pearl industry
is a colorful and romantic story.
The ancients obtained their pearls
chiefly from India and the Persian
gulf, but for a long time nothing
was known scientifically of the
pearls formation. Early peoples
thought it was formed from a
dewdrop or rain, but inquisitiye
scientists of the Sixteenth century
set themselves to discover how the
rain Or dewdrop got into the shell
in the first place There followed
a period when it was believed pearls
were formed from the eggs of the
oyster. Then it was noticed that
pearls We're made Of the same sub
stance as the inner lining of the
shell. With keener observation the
truth was finally discovered. 1t be-
came known that a foreign body, at
lacking the inner shell. caused the
oyster to deposit matter at. the point
Of invasion. and this hardened sub
stance made up the pearl known
TO the jewel industry.
Imperfectly formed pearls, at
tached to the inner shell. are known
as blister" pearls. Hollow. warty
pearls are known to the trade as
''coq de perle." while irregularly
shaped pearls are ''perles baroques."
Pearls Of the first water are of deli
cate texture. free from specks or
flaws, and a clear. almost translu
cent white in color. with a subdued
sheen. They are perfectly round or
pear-shaped.-E

According to the Encyclopedia

including ideographs or pictures and
phonetic symbols or letters. These
include the Sumerians and Baby
lonians, the Egyptians. the Utilities.
the Chinese, and the Mayas and
Aztecs in America. Our present
letters of the alphabet are derived
from the Phoenlcians, who probably
improved on the ideas of the Egyp-

SCHOOL CONTRACT AWARDED
Philadelphia Firm Given Contract
Base Bid Was SI34,879

The State Board of Education
announced last week that the con
tract for the construction Of the
new Selbyville public school has
been awarded to the F. ". Warren
Company, Philadelphia. It was ex-
planned that although the Selby-
vile Manufacturing Company was
low when bids we're opened, the
Philadelphia firm was given the
contract after alternate bids
which each firm was required to
submit, had been tabulated. The
Warren company's base bid was
S134, 1879 while that of the Selbv-
vile concern was S132, 1872. The
Yalmer-Thackery Company, Reho-
both, has been awarded the plumb
ing and heating contract while the
electrical work contract went to d..
w Gunby Company, Salisbury Md.
1t was said that the alternate bids
in plumbing, heating and electrical
work were not large enough t.
change the amount of the base
bids No date has been set for the
beginning of operations on the new
school. It is expected that a stIuc-
ture containing IS or 20 rooms viii
be erected.

POOR SEASON FOR sHAD
Only 1926 Caught This Year;
Pollution of River Blamed

The catch of shad from the Del
aware River and Bay this year has
been the smallest since fishermen
began to net these fish from that
source, according to Protector
James M. Stratton in a report to
the New Jersey Fish and Game
Commission. Mr.. Stratton says,
THE depression Of the industry 40
ticeable for several years reached
a new low record last Spring when
the value of the entire catch of
shad in the Delaware River and
Bay was less than that of the
boats and equipment used" River
pollution is held to be the boats
cause Of disappearance Of the shad
from the Delaware. This theory is
strengthened by that portion Of
the Stratton survey which shows
increased shad catches in the
Maurice River, a stream that is
practically free from sewage con
termination. The total number of
O4lGlQ IdhCl III 4S4clW al z 4AlNEI anu
Bay this year was 1926, which in
the beyday of the industry would
have been a normal seasons haul
for any one of the big commercial
fisheries. The catch for 1880 was
62.074 In Maurice River, with its
unpolluted waters, the catch of
shad was ascertained at $500,
this being one of the most prosper
Gus seasons Of fishing in this
stream. In the entire Delaware
Bay opposite Salem and Cumber-
land Counties larger and more
numerous nets took only 1864
shad, it was said. ''The total value
of the Delaware River and Bay
catch this year" Protector STRAIT
ton says, was S32 ,445." Nets and
boats were appraised at 1860
and there were 252 men employed
in the industry"

Hostile Spirit Fooled
by Use of clog Latin"

Perhaps the strangest language in
the world is that adopted by natives
of JOhore, on the Malay peninsula.
and used by them only when they
are in search of camphor..
The camphOr tree grows album
dainty in certain parts of the pen
insula, but not all Of them contain
camphor crystals and the product
of these trees is of much better
quality than that obtained from the
camphor laurel Of Formosa and ia
pan. The latter produces the more
common commercial camphOr.
There is a belief among the NAL
ayans that each species of the tree
has spirit Of divinity which pre-
sides over it, known as Bisan. which
means literally, "a woman" and
this spirit is supposed to jealousy
guard the tree from those in search
of 1t. They also believe that Bisan
understands the language of both
Malay and Jakun. so in order to
deceive her they have formulated a
sort of "hog Latin" a mixture OF
reversed native words, and with this
jargon, so they think, they are able
TO completely confuse the spirit.
Incidentally. the Jakuns who hunt
camphor are one of the widest peo-
pies, but are entirely inoffensive
They live together with monkeys,
dogs, cats, and innumerable fowl.
In perfect harmony. Their only un-
usual accomplishment is the estab-
lishment Of the camphor language.

STATE HOUSE CONTRACTS
AWARDED DELAWARE FIRMS

MINGTON, GETS CONTRACT
Heating, Ventilating and Plumbing
Divided Between Two; E.L.Jones

Delaware firms were given pref
erence over nonresident contract
ors by the State House Commission
IN awarding contracts for the con-
struction of the General Assembly
Hall, first of a series of State
buildings to be erected on a large
plaza at Dover. While the prices
of the Delaware firms to whom the
awards were made were the lowest
of the Delaware bids submitted,
they were not the lowest of all the
bids opened on Tuesday by the
Commission Allen L. Lauritsen
and Co., of Wilmington, received
the contract for the general con
struction. Their bid was $23S, $50,
while the lowest base bid for gen
eral construction had been submit
ted by Ralph S. Herzog, of Phila-
delphia, S207, 665. Both Of these
bids carried a pledge to employ 100
per cent Delaware labor. The con-
tracts for heating, ventilating and
plumbing were split in two. 7. T.
Weldin and Sons Co, of Whining
ton, received the contract for
plumbing; William D. Shelladay,
Inc, Of Wilmington, the contract
for heating and ventilating, and E.
L. Jones and Co., of Dover, the
electrical contract. John Borden
and Bros, of Philadelphia, had sub
mitted the lowest bid for plumbing,
heating and ventilating, and the
Arrow Electric Co., of Philadelphia
had submitted the lowest bid for
the electrical work. The plumbing
electric and ventilating work will
cost about $4,000 to $4,000, max
ing the entire building about $780,
600 to 308,000. The aggregate bid
of Philadelphia contractors for the
building, plumbing, ventilating and
electrical work was about S271 900.
Work on the Assembly Hall will
start within 10 days. The bids
were opened Tuesday Of last week
by the Commission in the presence
of Governor Buck. The commits

The proposed building is to be the

which has been worked out, but the
erection Of all these buildings will
be spread over many years before
the project is completed While
this first building is generally re-
