who have had the widest and best edu-

Real Olivo Oil to ffo Cosily.
It Is estimated that the entire Turk
tab output of olive oil will not exceed
900,000 quintals (Turkish), or, say. 50,-
000 tans. It is. therefore, relatively
Insufficient to meet local requirement*
and foreign demands.
Tbs olive oil crop to Greece, Crete.
Italy, and Morocco has completely
failed. Tho crop of Tunis Is estimated
nt about 10,000 tons, or about one-
fourth of Its average crop.
As far as 8paln is concerned, opin-
ion is divided, but it Is believed that
the country possesses a considerable
stock of last season’s oil aad that the
present crop will reach about on*
third of that of a good year. Spain Is
the largest olive oil prodaclnx coun-
t.-y in Europe. A good Inirrest gives
about 500.000 tons of oil. Its home
consumption Is considerable and It Is
probable that the high market orice
wilt prevent Its exportation.

London.—The biggest barometer in
the world is In the city of Fsenss,
Italy. It Is a monument to Torricelli,
Inventor of the barometer, who was
born In that city Just 300 years ago.
The scale of this barometer is on a
basis of feet where the ordinary ba- .......
rometer is measured In Inches. The ; ’
liquid column Is 37 feet high at nor-

Curious Reason Glvan for Propost/
Sate of Necklace by Franco.
Paris.—1The French government is
; in a distressing predicament. It con-
! fronts a problem less easy to solve
than many diplomatic tangles.
When President Thiers died be
willed to the nation the famous lime.
| Thiers’ pearl necklace, one of the
I choicest bits of Jewelry in tho world,
j It consists of 145 pearls, the three
largest of which weigh U6. 39 and 6t
grants. The necklace is valued at
< 950,000.
Recently tho directors of the Na-
j tional museum, where It was placed,
i announced their wish to sell the neck-
lace. Thereupon the descendants of
j President Thiers filed a strong protest.

could not do. Wv-r, they asked,
should the government wish to sell
the famous necklace? Then the truth
was told. The marvelous gems had
begun to lose their luster.
It is claimed by many that pearla. ii
not worn for a long time, will turw
black. This is what Is taking pla«l
with these marvelous gems.
The belief that pearls lose their lu’
ler if not worn is related to one ot
the world's oldest supestitions.
