Pearl Fishery.

There are few positions in life in
which perfect integrity is more requi.
site than in that of pearl diver. II
must be a sore temptation to any man
not working OH his own account, and in
whom good principles have not been
properly instilled, to leave at the bot.
tom of the water any promising oysters
he may find until he has an opportun.
ity of a private dive for his personal
benefit. This temptation seems to have
been too strong for the resistance of
the native divers at the Tinnevelly
Pearl Fishery. Captain Richardson
has, says the Madras Gazette, lately made
an inspection of the pearl banks of
Tuticorin, and found that the oysters
have not improved to any appreciable
extent. 1t appears that in some places
the divers brought up one oyster at q
time, and it is believed there is a com.
bination among them. At the PIMA
coil banks the behavior of the divers
was such as to arouse suspicion, and the
oysters, so plentifully found on the
previous inspection, seemed to have
left the place. On the bearing of the
Trickendur bank not one well-grown
oyster was found, and it is suspected
that secret orders have been given by
some Of the dealers to Illustrate the
work. Captain Richardson also in
speoted the Msnapud banks, but with
no appreciable results. The divers
brought up some oysters attached to
the Rena shell, which were very much
covered over with barnacles. The Ma
dura coast was next surveyed, and it
was found that the oysters were not so
numerous as last year, and though the
divers brought up a good many large.
sized oysters, the fish was gone. From
the Vypar banks few oysters were OBJ.
tanned, but they were not much APP
proved. 1t is proposed to engage the
services of European divers, as the ma
tives have proved so very distrustful
but surely it would not be impossible
to organize a submarine police force ;
few detectives concealed in coral reefs
or disguised as sharks would soon put
an end to this subaqueous dishonesty

Lost Treasures.

In reviewing the principal art losses
resulting from the siege of Strasbourg
it may be mentioned that the cathedral
has only been damaged in certain minor
points, and can be easily restored. The
museum, as building, was nothing re-
markable, but it contained some inter
esting objects, including paintings by
Carnegie, Tintoretto, Guido, Alexander
Veronese, Hemling, Jordeans, Claude
Lorraine, and celebrated Quarrel in
a Flemish Inn," by Van Ostade. There
were also a number of works by Stras-
bourg artists, of all of which not sim
gle canvass was saved, for even after
the bombardment had been announced
no efforts were made to remove the
pictures to a place Of safety, and the
museum was among the buildings first
destroyed.
Among the treasures in the library
were volumes of great rarity and some
manuscripts dating as far back as the
twelfth century; collection of canoni-
cal laws made by bishop of Stras.
bourg in 1888; prayer-book of the
eighth century missal of the six

Louis XII. a collection Of the consti-

medals. After the fire a piece Of the
handle of Klebers sword was found
but everything else had been utterly
destroyed.

Transmission of Sound by Wooden
Rods.

An interesting modification Of Wheat
stones celebrated experiment of the
Telephodic Concert was recently tried
at the Central High School of Phila-
delphia. A rod of English deal, about
20 feet in length and three quarters of
an inch thick, was let down through a
platform into the room below. Insu.
lation from the platform and the cell
ing of the lower room was obtained by
inclosing the rod with small sections of
thick rubber hose. Against the lower
end of the rod the sounding box of a
small tuning fork was placed. On
speaking or singing into the open end
Of this the sounds were transmitted by
the rod to the room above, the volume
of the sound being increased by placing
a guitar on the upper end of the rod.
The experiment is exceedingly inter-
esting and striking. Although the in
terval between the notes is perfectly
preserved, their intensity and quality
are changed very decidedly, the effect
being similar to that produced by ven.
triloquism. AS the position of the rod
is immaterial, striking effects can be
produced as though by ventriloquism.
A small figure placed on the end of the
rod or on the sounding box adds greatly
to the effect. A song is transmitted in
a very amusing manner. AS it is pre-
ferable to have the sounding. box held
so that the pulses should impipge in
the direction of the length of the rod,
the experimepter in the room beneath
rested, for convenience, on q settee.
This mode of transmission of sound
does not, of course, give as good results
as by means of hollow tubes, as the
transmitted sound cannot be heard at
as great distance. 1t is interesting,
however, from its novelty.
A NEW custom treaty has been signed
between France and Germany. The
financial portion of the treaty provides
that the balance of the indemnity
money remaining due by France shall
be paid in specie bills to the amount of
SO, 1000, 600 francs every fortnight until
the entire balance is paid, such pay
ments to commence on the 18th of JAN
uary next.

In THE construction of the under
ground railway in London, a part Of the
route extended under the Church Of st.
Nicholas, and to support the building
while the excavations were going on,
the following plan was adopted: At
intervals in front Of the walls Of the
church, wells of the diameter of three
feet and a half were sunk to the depth
Of forty feet, and these wells were then
filled in with brick work and cement.
The same method was adopted to sup
port tall chimney stack in the neigh
borhood, and in both cases the old and
the new structures remained firm. Cut
tings in another portion of the line
were made through mass of human
bones sixteen feet thick, which were
the remains of an old and disused burial
ground. In the construction of the
station at Cannon street two thousand
workmen were employed, for nearly
four months, within q space of two
hundred and eighty square yards, and
one hundred and fifty thousand tons of
earth and rubbish we're removed, while
fifty thousand tons Of new material were
brought upon the ground.

TOrtures of the Dinner Table.

The discourtesies often visited upon
gentlemen at public dinner parties, de-
serve an earnest protest. Men are call
ed to their feet not only against their
known wishes, but against pledges, and
compelled to speech that is absolute
torture to them. The boobies who thus
distress modest and sensitive men ought
to be kicked out of society. No one
has right to give an innocent man pain
by compelling him to make Of himself
q public spectacle, or summoning him
to task that is unspeakably distasteful
to him. No man ought to be called
upon at such place, except with his
full consent previously obtained, and he
who forces modest man to task like
this in the presence of society, fails in
the courtesy of gentleman. The truth
it that no dinner is pleasant unless it be
entirely informal. The moment it takes
on formal character its life as a social
occasion is departed; and those who
foster the custom of speech-making
drive from their society multitudes of
men who would be glad to meet them
whose presence would give them pless-
ure and do them good. Let us have
done with this foolishness.-Dr. j. q.
Holland, in Scri6ner's for November.
