HOW ARABS FISK 1012 PEARLS
A_ Record of Five Minutes' Under
Water lies Been Established.
The pearl -fishery is an industry
that still retains the flavor of am-
. tiquity, Nene of ita methods have
been modernized ;‘, neither inachin-
ery, nor the trust hes yet invaded
it. A pearl -buyer gives to The
Youth',s Companion this des,cription
of the way 'the Arahs fish the wa
tem of the. Indian Oeean and then
Persian; Gulf, and of the bargaining
that follows when they diepobe orf
' the i'eateh."
A pearl -fisher's boat may contein
as many as eighty Arab fishermen.
Every two sr three minutes thirty
of the men dive, made fa.st to ropee
that their companions bold, The
only apparatus theY use is a small
bone clip that- empresses the nos-
trils and leather finger -stalls to
protect them from the cuts to which
the fishernaan is liable in tearing
the ehells off tge rocke. Eaoh man
carries a small ba'sk-et in frontof
hire, and a stone is tied to his waist
t,o help carry hineto the bottom. -

theee minutes, although a reeord

lished. When the divers eome be
the surface, they are grea,tly ex-
' han'stecle -Often they are half -suffo-
cated. However, after a rest of
five minutes they a,re ready to go
'down again. •
Most of them intrepid' toilers car-
ry an amulet supposed to protect
them from fioh, but they are often
bitten. Art night they have a meal
of rice and dried dates. Miring the

In the eveningthey open the oys-
ters, among which it is mere to find
a. pearl of value. But when this
happens, the joy in the boat is
great. Pistol -shots announce the

boat along the whole length of the
fishing -bank, and finally to the
mainland, where nothing is talked
of except the water, shape and col-
• or of the newly -found prize.
On his Datum to his native vil-

IlousekeePers Should Avoid Those
Broken or Cracked.
At first glanceft seems atrocsf,
imposeible that, there could bo mi-
crobes irt strictly fresh eggs,' yet
this is not only qiiite possible, but
it frequently happens,
There is always a condition aft,
teched to this state of affairs, how-
ever, and that is that the fresis
ogge must be cracked and the, tough
skin that, envelopes the egg muot
aleo, he torn.
.A fresh clean egg is sterile.." The
bacteria *Mt are present ip bellen
or cracked eggs, in ememercial.
"dirty" eggs, ie desiccated eggs,
and in frozen eggs, get limo the
du'et from nest dirt 0/' the'onboicle
of the egg or from the air during
breaking of the eggs, in the process
,clesiecation or from the hands of
those who break the eggs. When
an 'egg is what is termed "dirty,"
a,nd when it in cracked 50 that the
'membrane is also broken., then
colon bacilli may. gain access to the
egg. Or, if dirty eggs are broken
carelessly, or if the hands of those
who break them are not clean, then
colonie.s of microbes seon form.
The white of the eggs are fs, great
deal like gelatin, and the germs
thrive and multiply rapidly in it.
For this reason houseleeepers
should &VOW buying cracked or
broken eggs, no matter how fresh
they may be. Housekeepers fre-
quently buy broken fresh eggs and
use them klf cooking. For a, long
time it",hitS been held that these eggs
were quite as good as the whole
ones, except that they cannot he
boiled. Consequently they are
bought and used for Oakes and other
cooking and also for frying, scram-
bling, -nix?, in other forme.
But. thio is a dangerous thing to
do. No one eau tell just how the
eggs became broken or under what
circumstances they were handled
and svhist the clangers are. The
wholo. eggs are, of course,' quite
sale, as,no microbes have had -op-
portunity to reach the inside of the
shells, and when they are boiled tho
danger is done away with.

TIIE SMALLEST ENGINE.
Would Take 100 of 'them to Weigh
Oiie Ounce:
Weighing just four grains cam-

plete-the weight of aal, ordinary
match -made of gold end steel, and
so small that a, house -fly seems
large in ccapparison, such ie "Tiny
Tim," the emallest "engine in the
world. It takes over 100 such en-
gines to weigh one ounce, tamest
2,000 to weigh a pound, and more
than 3,000,000 to weigh a ton, The
ongine-hed and stand are of gold.
The shaft runs in hardened and
ground steel bearings inserted in
the gold bed. These bearings are
counter -bored, from the inside to
form atoll -oiling- bearing. The fly -
Wheel has a steel centre and arms,
with a gold rim, anti the eomplete
wheel weighs one grain. The cylin-
der is of eteei, evith octagonal base
highly polished.
The stroke is 1-32 of an inch,
bore 3-100 of an inch. Seventeen
pieces- are used in the construction
ef tthe engine. The ,speed of the en-
gip,s is 6,000 revolutions per min-
ute. When -running 100 per second
no motion is visible to the eye, 'but
it makes it noise like the noise df a
mosquito. The horse -power is 1-
480,000 of one horse,power, Coin -

SACRED FLAG OF PROPIIETS.
Mow Guarded in Peace and /low
Powerful in "War.
The secret' standard of the pro-
phet is enveloped in forty coverings
of green taffeta, and is enclosed in
a naafi of green cloth, which also
eentains a Iceman (the book of the
law), written lay the Caliph Omar
himself, and the silver keys of the
kaapa, which Selim I. • received
from the sheriff of Mecca.
The standa,rd is twelve feet and
the golden ornaments (a Oozed
hand) which shrmounts it control:as
another oopy of the koran, written
by the Caliph Osman IlL, the suc--
*ewer of Mohammed.
In time of peace this precious
standard is guarded in the hall of
the"Noble Vestment"; thus 'is
styled the dress worn by the pro-
phet. In the same halLin which the
tunic hangs are also preserved the
other teeth, the holy beard, the
sacred itirrep, the sabre and the
bow of 'Mohammed, and the arms
and armor of the first ealiphs.
In -war a magnificent tont is
erected for receiving the sacred
standard, whieh is attached by oil-
-nor' rings Jto it lance of ebony. This
custom brings to I-owned:ion the
little temple in which was 'deposited
the eeigle of the Roman legions, a.s
related, by Dionysius Caesiue. •
the e,nd of every eaan'paign the sa-
cred piece of green silk which forme
the standard is replaced with great
solemnity in a richly ornamented
chest.
Down to the present epoch this
standard has always been a re,a1
talisman to the Turks, and has
seeved to rally the defenders of Is -
holism and to intlame,their courage
in battle against the Christians.
This is,acred banner is, hosvevee, ne-
ver displayed ,exeept 10 time, of wax
as a lest extremity. It, is the sig-
nal for instantly exerting every ef-
fort to save the empire. Every
Christiae is prohibited from stop-
ping before or even casting a pro-
fane look on this sacred pledge a
safety.
