Americans are said to be responsible
for it. and will, with the rest of civil
ization, have to suffer its dire conse
quences. Already has its presence
been felt, in New York. This famine
does not mean starvation, though it
does mean denial, not in the matter
of daily bread, but in the important
matter of pearls. Pearls have of late
been growing more and more popular,
more and more rare, and, therefore,
more and more expensive.
Pearl necklaces that our grand
mothers wore are being resurrected,
and the jewellers of Paris and New
York aro being called on to supply a
most unusual demand for these chaste
ornaments. Americans are said to
be the great pearl hunters, and so
keen is their pursuit that prices are
mounting daily. A pearl necklace
which sold for $2,<i00 twelve years ago
will today cost from $G,000 to $8,000.

"Ol' all tho brcadstuffs necessary
for man thc tropics furnish only corn
and vice, and those only to a limited
extent. They have no wheat, rye, or
po:aloes. The banana may bo. as
Humboldt says, 133 times more pro
ductive than wheat, and 44 times more
.?o than potatoes, yet it cannot re
place either as food. Xor can white
men live for any length of time on
'icc and corn alone, nor on bananas
j and palm-nuts. Native tropical foods
ran only hold body and soul together,
as they furnish but little vigor, energy,
and power. No machine can do good
work with poor fuel. A man who has
neither bread nor meat cannot get
lifo and strength and push from tea,
coffee, sugar, vanilla, and all thc pre
cious spices. Tropical products aro
merely commercial luxuries and ii the
inhabitants of cold climes did not buy
thom the people.nt' the tropics would
lack Yrrr> necesr aries and comforts of
life and would yet "dioke with their
own riches.
"If we wish to know the effects of
tho poor diet of the tropics combined
with the^fffcts of tho heat, wo have
cn}y-tok)ok jt thc inhabitants of thesa
<"o'.intrios. A's-*1 general rule they are
thin, poorly br'iL and unfit for intel
lectual or phydeal labor. Occasional
exceptions wiv^'O1 -.confirm the rule.

"It is by no means a new discovery

ably to the eminent humanist that he
took counsel with a certain Great
Lady, a lady really great enough to
imagine his motive and aim. for the

Infusion of the ?est company, [f the
memory of the witness servos him
rightly, the humanist provided tho
Great Lady with a list of delightful

as one of thc most delightful and dis

A single horn is ordinarily used in

tion. It has been proposed, says the
Scientific American, lo uso two horns
communicating with opposite sides of
the reproducer diaphragm, with tho
j discharge ends arranged side by side.
I Th purpose of this construction is to
j improve the tone, quality and power.
Furthermore, il ha:; been proposed for
j a similar purpose to employ a number
j of independent horns mounted upon a
part to which a rotary movement is
given. The horn in this case consists
of a large bell or hood embracing a
number of small horns communicating
at their smaller ends with a trans
mitter having a mouth. A throat leads
from the mouth to the diaphragm
frame pf the reproducer. It is claimed
that -music, vocal ?or instrumental, is
reproduced By this new horn with
j great doa;noss, ami that ibo power of
every sound is materially improved.
