hero, Paul Jonea, from France to America
In a warship, the Interment of the same In
this country and revival of the picturesque
career of this patriot so long deeping and
neglected In an unknown grave In a foreign
land without monumental stone to mark
the spot where his remains reposed, vividly
recall to my mind the Ingratitude and neg
lect of the services by this country of an
other equally deserving naval hero and
patriot, a contemporary of Commodore
Jones, Samuel Tucker, a native of Marble
head, on Cape Cod, In the state of Massa
chusetts. Tucker received a naval cap
tain's commission from Washington In' 1776,
and was In actus', servloe during the revo
lutionary war as commodore during much
of the time. He captured sixty-two British
vessels, 600 pieces of cannon and 3,000
prisoners, besides out maneuvering the
enemy's vessels and carrying John Adams
safely to France as envoy. For all of this
he received the empty honor of a vote of
thanks from congress, and this was all he
ever got for his Invaluable services to this
country and nation. After the close of the
revolutionary war he removed to the town
of Breeman, In my native state of Maine,
where for a livelihood he followed his
chosen vocation of captain of merchant
vessels.
Services ta second War.
During the war of 1812 with Great Britain,
when English privateers and war vessels
were devastating our commerce along the
Maine coast, after the pencil of time had
furrowed his noble face and sketched his
brow and the frost of years had whitened
his hair. In a schooner with a crew of
undaunted and heroic Maine sailors, armed
with two brass cannon from the fort at
Wlscassett, he chased, and, after a hard
fight, captured the privateer Crown and
drove from the coast of Maine the war
vessels of the enemy which had been so
successfully devastating the American com
merce. Bamuel Tucker was universally honored
and respected by the people of Maine who
elected him one Of the selectmen of the
town of Breeman, where he lived. He was
a member of the constitutional convention
of 1820 and a presidential elector when
Maine was admitted to the union, and
after the state's admission was a member
of the state legislature.
Defrauded of the fortune that belonged
to him from his share of the prlxes he
captured, Commodore Samuel Tucker ap
plied for the compensation he had Justly
earned as captain of the navy. This he
was denied because barred by the statute
of limitations. In old age he eked out a
precarious existence In his accepted voca
tion and died In poverty In 1S33. He was
burled on a bleak rocky neck of land
which runs out Into the tempestuous At
lantic In the town of Breeman and his
grave Is unmarked and without a monu
ment or stone to show where his remains
11a.
Grave I'nmnrVed and Ignored.
A few years ago the selectmen of the
town of Breeman through Mr. Dingley,
on of the noblest representatives In con
gress, chosen from the district In which
the town la located, presented to congress
a petition stating that "the grave of Com
modore Samuel Tucker would soon be un
known unless measures were taken to
provide a permanent memorial monument
and In view of the commodore's services
It would seem that the least congress could
do would be .to grant the prayer of the
petition." This petition was pigeon-holed
and on It no action, as I understand, has
ever been taken.
Many a time have I sailed past this
rocky, bleak, barren cape and neck of land
where the remains of this hero lie, ex
tending Into the ocean against whose
nuies the wcves of the tempestuous At
lantic beat high and rebounded and receded
wl'.h a dismal roar. How vividly at this
time and In this connection am I reminded
of the Ingratitude of the human race.
Socrates and the Greek philosophers
taught that the first and greatest crime
that could be committed was Ingratitude
and the second was neglect of parents.
Another Greek sage said: "To pass now
to the matter of gratitude and ingratitude;
there never was any so abandoned and
base as not to admire tne lormer ana as-
test the latter."
6nneca, I think, said: "Of all the guilty
train of human vices, base Ingratitude Is
the most to be abhorred and detested."

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 22.-The pearl and
shell fisheries in the Sulu group of the Phil
ippine archipelago promise to be an Import
ant Industry In the near future. In fact,
it has already assumed very large propor
tions, but the manner In which It Is con
ducted has prevented very much In the way
of actual knowledge of the Industry fro.-n
coming to publio notioe. More than two
years ago the secretary of state wrote to
the secretary of war suggesting the advisa
bility of taking some action looking to the
preservation of the pearl fisheries of the
hlllpplne Islands for the benefit of the
United' States. The secretary of war Im
mediately directed the governor general of
the Philippines to make a thorough Investi
gation of the pearl fisheries of the Sulu
group with a view to protecting the inter
ests of the United States government. Un
der this authority the governor general of
tha Philippines has made a complete Inquiry
and gathered all Information possible con
cerning the pearl and shell fisheries, an!
the various reports whleh he has submitted
are an important part of the bureau of In
formation In the Insular division, relating
to the Philippine Islands.

Although all peart and shell flaharina
are covered with water, they are always
technically referred to as "grounds," a
designation that baa been used for a
great many years. The Sulu "grounds"
known up to the present time have been
practically unknown to the world at larva
and vei-y little to commerce, but experts
wlit have made an Investigation say that
so far as the quality of the product and
the possibility of development are con
cerned, these "grounds" rank with the
famous ancient 'grounds" of Csylon and
the Persian gulf and the more modern
areas developed In Australia and Torres
strait. Borne authorities say that the Sulu
archipelago now contributes the greatest
number of the finest pearls known to
commerce, while others say that while the
pearls are very valuable and can be ob
tained In large quantities, the principal
feature of the commerce will be the mother
of pearl and other stalls.

The conditions existing in the southern
waters of the Philippine possessions of the
United States and particularly about the
numerous Islands of the Sulu archipelago,
are almost perfect for the development of
mother-of-pearl and the pearl-bearing mol
Iusk, which requires a reefy bottom near
mud, and especially one where there Is a
luxuriant supply of submarine weeds, coral
cups and a growth of coral resembling
coach whips from four ' to five feet In
length. The sweeping tides and abun
dance of living reefs are particularly favor
able to the growth of the mother-of-pearl
oyster. The so-called "pearl grounds" of
the United States In the Philippines oon
tatn an area of about 15,225 square miles,
and lie between latitude 40 degrees 45 min
utes north, the southern boundary of the
United States' islands, and 60 degrees 30
minutes north, and between longitude . 119
degrees "35 minutes east and 123 degrees
east. s This area Is about 106 maritime miles
from east to west and about 145 miles from
north to south. There are about 136
islands In the group, nearly all Inhabited,
some large and others small, dotting the
sea surface 173 miles la length 'from the
Basilan Strait, northeast to the Slbutu
Pasjage southwest, to the breadth vary
ing from thirty-four to seventy-five miles
northwest and southeast. At present the
most productive pearl grounds can be found
In the extreme western waters of the Lap
aran cluster of the Tawt-Tawl group. The
depths range from thirty to eighty feet,
the most favorable for naked or unhel-
meted diving. The Tapul group Is also
particularly famous for the excellence of
Its pearl grounds, and the superiority, and
quantity of the output. Throughout these
Island waters the depth seldom attains
more than sixty feet, and the average Is
about half that figure. Experts declare
that there are very few pearl shells In the
Sulu waters under nine fathoms (fifty-four
feet).
Methods of Pearl Fishing.
Modern pearl fishers are equipped with
diving apparatus and all paraphernalia
to carry on the work In a businesslike
manner. These operators do not waste
time in sending down a diver to find
whether or not pearls exist in the bot
tom of the sea, but ascertain the condi
tion of the ground by sounding with a
leaden weight, coated with soap, which
brings to the surface samples of the bot
tom. If sand and gravel are found, the
search in that particular locality Is
abandoned, but If there are any Indications
of coral or grass seed, the boat Is anchored
and operations are Immediately com
menced. The diver equips himself practic
ally in the same manner as other divers,
and takes with him the necessary tools
for dislodging the shells and a basket In
which to send them to the boat The great
est depth at which a diver can work la
twenty-five fathoms, but the pressure Is
so great that labor cannot be sustained
more than five minutes at a time. Be
cause of the danger and limited results at
this great depth, the shallow beds In from
fifteen to twenty fathoms, where the diver
can work almost an hour without rest, are
most sought after. About eight hours are
easily employed in diving, after which the
shells are opened, cleaned and the pearls
extracted. The slxe of the shell la usually
about nine Inches In diameter. The divers
find the fishing a good deal of a lottery,
as only about 1 per cent of ths shells con
tain pearls, and these are found within
the shell or imbedded In It, and often tn
the oyster meat Itself, the slxe varying
from a pin head to a large bead. They are
either leaden gray, golden hued or water
colored, the last being of the highest
value. Sometimes as many as a dozen
pearls have been found In one shell, and It
ts related that one shell was found some
years ago containing sixty-five pearls.
The pearl fishery carried on In a modern
way is exclusively In the hands of the
Chinese, head ' man, Tiana, at Jolo, who
owns a fully equipped fleet of six boats
of ten tons each. A crew of seven men
besides the captain mans each boat. , The
Chinese market both the shells and pearls
at Singapore.
Pearl Flahlng by tho Katlves.
Ths pearl fishing of the natives is on
such a very small scale that the output Is
not very great. They dive without any
equipment of any kind, but manage to
reach the depth of ten fathoms, and at
times they will remain under the water
for two minutes and return to the surface
with a shell tn each band. On the best
grounds a diver seldom makes more than
fifteen dives in the course of a morning
and often obtains shells enough, without
counting the chances of securing pearls.
In five or six dives to support himself and
family for a month. Slaves are compelled
to go out more frequently and dive ofiener.
The pearllag season in the 6ulu group Is
from April to December, during which
months It ts conducted with the greatest
activity. The natives use boats or smalt
canoes, which are well built and capable
of resisting rather fierce weather. They
are equipped with the Malay triangular
mast and the sail Is of grass matting and
reeds. Ropes of Manila hemp are used.

In these boats the "sea gypsies," as they
are known, have their wives and children
and sail about, living entirely upon the
products of the sea. The Sulua, owing to
practice from childhood, and having a fine
physique, are the best divers In the world.
They go in head first and without artificial
assistance whatever, and they can remain
In the water from sixty to eighty seconds,
they can descend twenty fathoms (130 feet),
and some of the more expert even more,
but this Is regarded as the extreme limit
In naked, unhelmeted diving. The divers,
naked and unarmed, must possess un
daunted courage and excellent health. They
have to attend as carefully to their modes
of living and diet as do professional ath
letes. Their powers of staying In water
must also be remarkably great. They have
to brave dangers from the shark, sword
fish and octopus, or devil fish, which In
fest those waters. With the combatlve
ness and resolution of the Moro, under
proper direction, they become tho most
daring and enduring divers In the world,
and there exists among them a keen de
sire to excel one another in the length
of time they can remain under water.
Divers Compared.
The Malay divers ' are quick to learn
from white men, and easier to. teach, but
their powers al endurance are Inferior to
those of the Sulus. Tho Polynesian divers
are very superior, aid the women are bet
ter than the men. These people anoint
their bodies with cocoanut oil before going
Into the water. In western Australia the
native divers, after proper training, go in
feet first and turn In the water, this form
being considered leas exhausting than
head first. But the Sulu divers disdain to
Imitate the Australian methods and plungo
in head first. In training for diving, at
tempts are first made In about three
fathoms (eighteen feet) and even this depth
generally causes bleeding at the nose. It
usually requires nearly six months' prac
tice to reach ten and a half fathoms (sixty
three feet). A man who has been accus
tomed to the water and ceases to dive for
a few months, experiences great suffer
ing In the ears when again he takes to
the Water. There Is a record of one dlvor
remaining below 180 beats of the pulse, or
two and a' half minutes, while tho great
est depth attained by divers noted by wit
nesses la seventeen and a half fathoms,
or 105 feet. This same man made fifteen
and a half fathoms In the presence of an
officer of the English ship Champion. The
temperature of the air must range about
76 degree, Fahrenheit, and the water about
70 degrees for successful pearl diving.
Tho Commerce in Shells and Pearls.
Until about lSSti Manila was the great
center of the pearl and shell trade in the
orient, and the products of these seas be
came known as the Manila shells, and
reached the highest point of excellence
and price. The post lion of Singapore, how
ever, and the enterprise of the Chinese
steamship owners completely transferred
the wholo traffic from tho port of Manila
to the '. port of Singapore, The United
States purchases a large portion of the
mother-of-pearla that are produced in tho
Bulu ground, but they pusa through for
eign hands, through Singapore, and thtu
direct to London, Vienna and other Euro
pean ports before being entered for con
sumption in tho .United States. The valuo
of pearls for the fiscal year 1100 and
the nine months of litul endtd March 31,
are given as follows: Pcirls entered at
New York, not split, and paying 10 per
cut duty, $l,412,9i! for lSJi, $l,lo3,3bi for
19o0, and $:3,2tv3 for 1901. Pearls split, etc.,
not especially provided for, paing 20 per
cent duty, $3!),W9 for 1SK9, $i32,5:!) for 10u0,
and $To3,197 for I'M. Shells not sawed or
cut, polished or otherwise, entering free,
$1,069,319 for 1S99, and $1,01,728 for 1SU0. Re
cent statistics of foreign shell exports show
that the value of mother-of-pearl shell from
the leading pearl grounds shipped In 1899
from the Bahrein; Islands In the Persian
gulf, was $2,211,115, while from Ceylon there
has been none since 1891. From the Torres
Strait district, $ikS.8C2, and from western
Australia, $440,514. Statistics are also pro
duced showing what a great loss of trade
then has been to Manila because of the
Sulu pearls and sheila going to Singapore
But these are largely of an estimated
character.
Complications I.lkely to Ensue.
The United States government Is likely to
find considerable difficulty In securing con
trol of the pearl fishing groundu In the
Sulu group, as, apart from the fact that
the sult:tn of Sulu claims absolute sov
ereignty over all the Islands and the sea In
that particular section of the Philippines,
and that the natives give Mm the pearls
that are obtained with the sheila, he has
made various agreements with companies
who are now operating arid intend to
operate on the pearl grounds, English and
Chinese companies paying him for the
privilege. There are also contracts known
to have been made bv tha sultan with cer
tain Germans for the privilege of pearl
fishing. An article of the protocol signed
at Madrid by representatives ef Great
Ises In the past and will
ket-p them In the future.
In a year from now you

Immense amount of capl

Britain, Germany and Spain tn 1885 con
tains a provision allowing commerce and
direct traffic of vessels and subjects of
Great Britain and Germany and the other
powers with the Archipelago of Sulu, and
In all Its parts, which are declared abso
lutely free, and also grants the rights of
fishing. This, of course, would include the
pearl fishing. It Is a question whether the
agreement with the sultan of Sulu, taken
In connection with this article of the proto
col, would be considered as having force
under the treaty of Paris, concluded be
tween the United States and Bpaln, at the
close of the Spanish war. This will be a
subject of negotiation whenever the United
States attempts to prevent various com
panies from operating in the pearl grounds
of the Sulu group. Another question has
already been brought up by the claim of a
certain Englishman presented to the War
department. In which he asserts 1 fishing
rights over a large portion Of the Sulu
group, and speclally the larger Islands of
Palawan and other sections of the Philip
pines occupied by the Moros. This English
man has already presented his claim to the
War department, but his rights have been
questioned for several reason, principally
on the ground that the sultan of Sulu can
not control that large and extensive group
of Islands. His authority must be confined
to what Is known as the Sulu archipelago.
Even then It Is questioned whether be has
the right to grant away valuable fran
chises which ought to be owned and con
trolled by the United States, the revenue
from which should be a part compensation
for the expenses that the government has
incurred in the Philippine Islands. Officers
of the army and other experts who have
visited the pearl fisheries have pointed out
that owing to the possibilities of the pearl
ing grounds they can be made of great
value as a revenue producing feature of
the Philippine group. It Is evident from
the steps already taken by the War de
partment and the United States govern
ment in the Philippines that the United
States proposes to exercise authority over
the pearl fisheries. There' Is no doubt,
however, that parties who have made pre
vious contracts with the sultan of Sulu
under former treaty stipulation with Spain
will Insist that their rights are protected
by that clause In the Paris treaty confirm
ing all concessions made by Spain previous
to American occupation. At the same ttme,
the theory upon which the American gov
ernment Is now proceeding Is that conces
sions of contracts 'made by the sultan of
Sulu cannot be construed as contracts
made and confirmed by the Spanish gov
ernment. Until the legal status of the
pearling grounds Is definitely determined
their development by American capital will
be delayed.

MARTYRDOM OF JOHN MISS
Life and Labor of tbe Great Bohemian
Reformer Recalled.
CITY OF CONSTANCE AND ITS HISTORY
Moaamrnts of the Past That Speak
Across the Abyss of Years to
the People of the Pres
ent Day.
In view of the fact that my visit to the
city of Constance Is so imminent to the
anniversary of the day that the great Bo
hemian reformer and martyr was con
demned to death by the Universal council
of 1414 and burned at the stake the follow
ing year on July 6, I feel constrained to
write a few lines about the city.
Tho historic landmarks that have left
their imprint upon this storm center of the
reformation are very weil preserved today
and only go to exemplify and commemorate
the horrors and absolutism of a papal de
cree. The papal schism was inaeea a
scheme of universal enslavement by estab
lishing a universal sect. The council was
convoked for the purpose of amalgamating
very diversified priesthood and exter
minating originality of thought, called
"heresy." John Hubs was a man of orig
inal thought and his teachings comprised
of Immortal words, which condemned him
to death, "Hold the truth, hear the truth.
learn the truth, keep the truth, defend the
truth even unto death."
About as High as Omaha.
Constance Is one of the most beautiful
towns In all of Europe, situated about 400
meters above the level of the sea, at the
point where the Rhine Issues from the Lake
of Constance to enter the lower lake. The
old city of Conetanoe, chief town of the
Lake district of the grand duchy of Baden.
with 22,000 population, Is by Us active trade
and industry, Its curiosities and historical
remembrances, the most Important on the
take.
The climate Is very agreeable In summer,
as the vast surface of the lake has a neu
trallilng effect on heat and oold; the heat
of the summer Is especially tempered by
the breexes blowing from the mountains.
Constance, Itself, owns a sight of most
picturesque charms, with a commanding
view of the vast sheet of water, which, by
continually changing Its colors, produces
an incessant magle sensation and beyond
It of the mountain colossi encircling the
attractive scenery.
The Chrnnists Sehulthals mention Con-
stantlus Chloren as the founder of the
town, adding - that already before him
Drusus Oermanlcus had built a castle on
the Rhine. In 611 St. Frldolln is said to
have established here a Christian com
munion. Between K0 and 570 Constance be
came a see; since 1527 the bishops resided
t Meersburg, having been forced to Ioave
Constance by the storm of reforms. In
11R3 the Peace of Constance between Fred
eric Barbarossa and the Lombards was
concluded here.
Freedom F.nrly Established
During the middle ages the town was a
free city of tho empire until 1548. Already
In 990 Its money, wolghts and markets were
honorably mentioned. In 1213 Constance
decided the destiny of the German empire
by opening Its doors to Frederick II and
by shutting out Otto IV. In 1414 and 1415
It was the stormy center of the Reforma
tion and the focal point of the events dur
ing the struggle for religious reform. Here
Is where the famous councU of Constance
(1414-1418) sat and there were present, be
sides Emperor Slglsmund and Pope John
XXIII, twenty-six princes, 140 counts, more
than twenty cardinals, seven patriarchs,
twenty archbishops, ninety bishops, 800 pre
lates and doctors, and about 4.00 priests.
The mandates and decrees of this council
are well known to the reader of history
and the scars that mark the wounds en
acted by that body of unreasonable men
are still unhealed and never to be for
gotten. Huss and Jerome were burned
alive, and the papal schism was brought to
an end. The landmarks of the martyrdom
of those who dared to think for themselves
and who stood by their convictions in the
face of the most painful torture and death
are here. They are here for generations,
but In the hearts of men forever.
Where Hass Wns Tortured.
The dungeon tower In which Huss was
tortured, his home, the council hall wherein
sat that august assembly of unchristian
prelates, led by the whims of an ungodly
pope to deeds at which the world doth
shudder, where Hums was adjudged a
heretic. Ths cathedral ts a magnificent
structure of the eleventh century, but Is
tainted by a blue spot where stood the
great Huss when he was condemned to
death by being burned alive at the stake.
This spot Is often pointed out to a vUltor
with reluctance. Shame should indeed
creep Into the hearts of those who love
their Cod and revere tblr church, (or
will be located at the leading county seat

tions at Hutchinson, Pallna. Wichita, To

wHhln this divine temple which was eonso
crated to the teaching of a universal
brotherhood tho brethren were not only
denied brotherhood but denied the right t
life which Ood had given them and had
only the right to take away.
On July t, 1415, as the sun rose over the
land John Huss was taken to the out
skirts of the city, where he was chained
to a stake, and as the flames rose to lash
the life from his body there was heard not
a murmur, not a quiver of relentment cama
from those lips or shone from those up
lifted eyes. Thus died the hero to religious
reform, died the defender of truth. Aa I
stood by the stone which marks this spot
whore John Huss was burned I thought of
the moment that I stood by the tomb Of
Napoleon; looking down a beautiful sarco
phagus I thought of the extreme difference
tn the alms of the twt. One strove to
conquer the world by arms, the other to
free the peoples of the world by teaching
freedom of thought one with tho aim of
enslaving, the other .with the aim of liberat
ing humanity,
Leaaon of a Great Life,
I thought that I could Indeed see tha
great Huss as he stood tn his funeral pyre
with uplifted eye and silenced lip, still
knowing that he was right and unfaltering 1
in his convictions as the flames bora him
beyond. Is there in all history an example
of such fidelity to a conviction and has any
other principle liberated the people mora
than the teaching of Huss? He was indeed
Inspired, as are all Immortalised heroes.

MACHINE TO WAKE PIE
Confections Such as "Mother Used ta
' Make" Ontclassed by Machine-Made
Article.
Lovers of the great American dainty
pie will rejoice to learn that a new era
has set in for Its unlimited production.
It is a far cry from the "pies mother
used to make" to a superior product made
by machinery, but this has been aoeora
pllshed by a machine invented by a Fhlla
delphlan. For years there has been progress in al
most every line of baking, with the excep
tion of the succulent pie. . Bakers and prac
tical Inventors along those lines, who ex
perimented, have declared that, maehine
made pies were as Impossible as perpetual
motion There are so many step in tha
operation that it would seem their con
tention was well founded. Undaunted by
precedent, however, the Philadelphia!! In
ventor has continued his experiments for
two years, and at last has reached hia
goal.
The plemaklng machine has beenf In
stalled in a baking oompany'a plant In this)
city, and Is now grinding out a steady
stream of pies of all kinds and varieties.
With the machine an operator can now
produce thousands of pies where he form
erly turned out hundreds. Not only wQl
this serve to cheapen produotlon, benefit
Ing the consumer by making it possible
to use better materials, but, as most of
the work Is mechanical, absolute eleanU
news and uniformity Is assured.
The pie machine Is long and narrow,
being about ten feet by twenty Inches.
One man and three boys constitute tha
operating force, turning out sixteen to
eighteen finished pies a minute.' An eleo
tiic motor furnishes power, while a gag
jet keeps the forming dies warm. Bus-.
pended over the machine is 4 tank which,
holds a sufficient amount of filling for 408
pies. An agitator revolves within and
keeps the fruit from packing at the outlet.
After the "paste" for crusts haa been
propurly mixed It Is weighed and out into
proper sized pieces by a dough dlvldsr. A
tray full of lumps of dough for bottom
crusts Is placed at one end of the msohlno
and another tray containing lump for ton
crusts at the other end. At the rear Is a
stack of plates, automatically fed by a
ratchet. A magnetised arm swings around,
picks up a plate and places It on a die
made to receive It. A piece of dough ia
placed on the plate and the next move
ment brings it under a die which forms
the lower crust. Then the fruit la de
posited from the tank and the plate moves
forward. By this time another lump of
dough has been flattened out and stamped
with an Initial such as "L" for lemon
while an automatic bellows blows a puff
of flour over the dough to keep It from
sticking.
The next movement brings the filled pie
and this upper crust together, one operator
being statlom-d here to adjust the top
cover if necessary. Then the covered pie
comes under the edging die, which cote off
all scraps, and the pie passes forward oa
an apron which leads to the oven. One
motion succeeds another with sMch regis
lartty that the finished pie is passing to
the oven almost before one can grasp tha
Idea and purpose of the machine. With,
no fuss and little noise the empty plate
starts at one end and passes off tho Other
end of the machine, a finished pie la leea
than four seconds. Philadelphia Heoerd,
