"One of the odd things that I saw In
a trip up the east coast of Africa was
the permission given each day by one
of the kings for the sun to set," said a
man who made ? trip to South Africa.
"At one of the parts where we stopped
the soldiers w?re drawn up on the pa
rade ground before tho royal palace aB
the sun was setting. With pomp and
teremouy the ruler advanced to the
front of the balcony on the second floor
ami majestically waved his hand to
ward the sun.
"One of his subjects explained to mti
that it was the royal sanction for thu
sun to set. When asked as to whether
fbe ruler gave his permission for the
sun to rise In the morning the man re
plied that the sun must always rise be
fore the ruler, but that It could never
go down unless the royal hand waved
approval. The king who did this was
the sultan of Zanzibar.
"I hardly believe that he himself was
Blncere In thinking his permission nec
essary, for he was educated for four
years at Harrow college In England,
but the performance was to Increase
the belief among the subjects In his di
vine origin."? Milwaukee Sentinel.

The river mussel and some other
fresh water bivalves often contain
beautiful pearls. In Saxony the trade
in these dates from 1610 and a code of
roles to regulate it. The fish are placed
In prepared Iteds and examined every
five years. From two to ten pearls are
yielded by each. A similar and profita
ble pearl cultivation Is carried on In
Sweden and In other parts of Europe.
The fact that grains of sand and other
foreign substances that intrude within
the shells are covered In course of time
with layers of pearl has be?n ti ;en
advantage of by the wily Chin s so.
Opening the shells of suitable bivalves
and holding them open with wooden
wedges, they Insert small objects of
wood, stone or metal and restore the
shellfish uninjured to their beds. Irri
tated by these pieces, the mollusks soon
cover them with coatings of mother-of
pearl of bright purity and luster and
thus convert them Into articles of con
siderable commercial value.? London
