How Do Pearls Grow?

Professor Qurkett seems to believe that
all pearls are produced by the boring of
small animals through the shell and the
pushing forward the inner plate of nacrs
SO as to irritate the animal That pearls
can be produced in this way there is no
doubt; that all pearls are produced in this
way l doubt very much, says writer in
Notes and Queries. Another writer on the
subject of breeding pearls tells the follow
ing: Nearly five years ago, while staying
with some kind friends in Pulo, Penang
Straits of Malacca), l was shown by lady
resident, wife of merchant of high posi-
ton in this island, some five ordinary look
ing small pearls, which had increased and
multiplied while in her possession. She
had set them aside for about twelve
month in small wooden (screw) box
about two and half inches broad and one
and half inches high, they were packed
in soft cotton and accompanied by half a
dozen grains of common rice. On opening
the receptacle at the expiration of the
above time she found four additional
pearls. These myself saw and examined
not long after the lady had made the dis
covery, beautiful little things they were,
and about the size of pins head.

A WASTED LIFE.

BY HARRY EDWARDS.
An old man sat with his head bowed low.
And he seemed to be crushed with weight O!
woe:
His form was bent and his locks were gray
His look and his attitude seemed to saw
Il am almost done with this earthly life
Soon will be ended its cares and strife"
AS he sat all alone by the wayside there,
The breezes tossing his thin gray hair,
He seemed to be dreaming OF years gone by,
For he heaveda sad and bitter sigh;
And feeling of sympathy touched my heart
That caused the tears in my eyes to start.
'You ask for my story at last he said,
As from his hands he raised his head.
g 'Tis sorrowful story of trouble and pain,
And could but live my life again,
What different story I'd have to tell
When came to the end of LIES iourney-ah
well!
81 will soon be beyond all this bitter regret
For the years Ichave wasted, but cannot forget.
1t is too late to alter the course that chose,
For 1 feel that my life is fast nearing its
close
What sorrowful sight, after long years of
strife
Is the wreck of a wasted and misspent life,

Increase in Aluminium Products.

There has been a remarkable develop
ment in aluminium products. due in large
part to the use Of electricity in obtaining
the metal According to a census report
one company produced about two tons of
aluminium brouzes in 1885. and over 500
short tons in 1883; another produced 19, 200
pounds OF aluminium in 1889, and the total
product in this country, including the
aluminium in hronzes, for that year is esti-
mated at Al, 46S pounds, and valued at S97,-
3S5. The business is now being developed
SO rapidly that it is expected the worlds
product annually will be in short time
equal to the product of all the years be-
tween 1860 and 1882 The price, too, has
been greatly reduced.

A Now idea for Preventing Hot Boxes.

A new method of lubricating passenger
car journals is under the experiment of
members of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company. The idea is as simple as can be,
consisting Of strip of goods resembling a
lamp wick, one end of which is immersed
in oil; the wick outside of the oil is wrap
ped around the journal, and at every revo-
luton of the wheel the oil is drawn to the
journal, keeping it continually cool One
pint of oil, it is claimed, will run a train
5000 miles without the slightest danger Of
an overheated bearing. The Manufacture
ers' Gazette, authority for the foregoing,
says if this method is developed it will I'M
doubtedly meet with success, as hot boxes
resulting from friction are the source of
much trouble.

Acuteness of Senses in the Moose.

In an interesting paper on the habits Of
the moose in The Zoologist one of the
points noted is that moose generally lie
with the tail to windward, trusting to their
senses of hearing and smelling, which are
remarkably acute, to warn them of ap
preaching danger from that quarter. They
can use their eyes to warn them from dan
ger to leeward, where hearing and especial
~ smelling would be of little use. While
they are sleeping or chewing the cud their
ears are in perpetual motion, one back
ward, the other forward, alternately. They
also have the remarkable insight to make
a short turn and sleep below the wind of
their fresh track, SO that any one falling
thereon and following it up is sure to be
heard or smelled before he can get within
shooting distance.

THE Enterprise attempts to defend
Sheriff Lockhart for his continued and
lengthy absences from his office and
duties by saying that he regularly pays
into the territorial treasury the public
monies collected in this county. The
defense is no defense at all. Nobody
accused Sheriff Lockhart of being dis
honest and Withholding public money.
Grant county a afford to c%ongratul-
ate herself that she elected an honest
man to be the Collector of the county:
and If he spends most of his time
away from his Office attending to his
private affairs the county is bound to
be neglected and the peoples affairs
to suffer. And every body knows that
Sheriff Lockhart does spend most of
his time away from his office and the
county seat attending to his private
affairs, and some people have been
forced to know in consequence that
their business with the shefiff's office
has suffered. The talk about this is
quite pubic, and the Enterprise
knows it; and it will continue to grow
and become more general the more
people, suffer from Mr.. Lockhart's
absence and lnattention to his duties.
Mr.. Lockhart was elected not only
because he vas an honest man fnan,
cially but because he was believed to
De a good business man who would
properly attend to the public business.
He most certainly would not have
been elected If the people had thought
that the only use he had for the office
was to draw the salary and let the Of
flee run itself. If Sheriff Lockhart is
the honest man we believe him to be
he will either cease drawing his big
salary while %neglecting his Office or he
will come back here and attend to his
duties. If Mr.. Lockhart's private af-
fairs are so important as to keep him
away from here attending to them let
him resign and have some mar APP

selected as the place for the next meet
ing of the National Farmers Alliance.
John B. Powers, OF Nebraska, was elect
ed president; August Post, OF Iowa, sec-
retary and treasurer.
The afternoon session was devoted al
most exclusively to debate on the fol-
lowing resolution, which was finally
passed THAT we, as landowners, pledge
ourselves to demand equal rights with
bankers and others who borrow money
from the United States; we demand
government loans to individuals,
upon real estate security equa-
BILE with the sum of money, at
rate of interest not exceeding 2 per
cent. per annum, in sums not exceed
ing $1,000 to any one individual, and
that the amount loaned be apportioned
among states, counties and townships
according to population"
This resolution, which was introduced
by President Powers, was defeated yes
terday afternoon, and was reconsidered
at today's session, after nearly all its
opponents had lett, under the impress
sion that the business of the convention

A SPLENDID CRUISER.
The San FranciscO's Final Trial Trip
Was Very Satisfactory.

The San Francisco's Final Trial Trip
Was Very Satisfactory.
VALLEJO, CAL, Jan. 29.-The cruiser
San Francisco returned to the navy yard
Wednesday evening from her trial trip.
The members of the board of officers
that went out to report the result of her
trip, and all the officers of the ship,
speak in the highest terms of praise
regarding the sea-going qualities of the
ship. The weather outside was rough,
and served we'll to try her. She passed
right along at speed of eleven or twelve
knots without shipping seas. Some spray
flew up on the bridge, but not enough
to wet the spar deck. A run was made
as far down the coast as Point Sur, few
miles below Monterey. In slowing down
and turning about the ship behaved
splendidly, even when the sea was run
ming very high. No attempt was made
at speeding her. In running twelve
knot speed, the engine appeared to make
no extra effort. The gums were tested
singly and broadside on, and whether
fred single or broadside, the ship did
not appear to feel any effect from the
concussion, and no strain was manifested
in her. In firing broadside guns.
it is reported four of the vertical
shields we're slightly cracked, and
couple OF lugs ON two of the gun car
riages were broken off. This will neces-
state their repair. The guns and shields
that were placed on board from the
Charleston worked we'll and suffered no
accident. The shields that are cracked
are the ones recently sent out from the
east for the San Francisco, and appear
not to have been made heavy enough to
withstand the shock of the recoil. One
of the men. rated as an oiler, got his
ankle between the machinery, stripping
the flesh of the ankle bone clean off.
This trip settles her final acceptance by
the government.
