They Are Found There, and Ono 10 In
the British Crown.
One is SO much accustomed to asso-
tiate pearls with the Eastern and gold
with the Southwestern countries of the
world that the discovery of pearls in
Scotland and gold in Wales seems some
what opposed to the order of things.
says the Scottish American. That gold
exists in Wales is, of course, quite Il
recent discovery, and the small and
improbable quantities found have now
resulted in the abandonment of tho
mining operations commenced by Rich
ard Morgan.
But the pearls of Scotland have quite
a different history For centuries pearls
have been found in the River Ythan.
In Aberdeenshire, and only last year
an Aberdeen man made some notable
hauls, which he disposed of to jewelers.

Gently stated in London paper that
a pearl taken from the River Ythan Is
believed to form one Of the Queens
crown jewels. 1t Is to be hoped that
the belief is well founded, for In that
case 1t may be reasonably claimed that
the precious stone in question Is the
only one contributed by the British
islands. a thought calculated to gratify
our national pride, for Scotland might
be worse represented that by pear
in the national regalia.
A story is told of an Aberdeenshire
farmer who found a large and perfect
pearl In the shell Of n mussel taken
from the Ythan. Happening to visit
London some time afterward he dis
played his treasure to n West end jew
eler, who. struck with the size and
beauty Of the gem. asked the price. The
farmer demanded what possibly he re-
garded as a big price. viz, f1OO. Now
this was in the days when Scotland had
her own coinage, and a pound (Scots,
was equivalent to Is. 3d., SO that the
f1OO he asked would only have repre-
sented fs 6s. Sd. English money.
His surprise and delight may be i'm

his pearl f100 sterling. 1t is doubtful.
however, whether the English jeweler
would have shared these feelings had
he known the exact meaning Of the
hummer pun" demanded by the owner
of the pearl. However. he had no Oc-
casion to complain, for he is said to
have sold the gem subsequently at
large profit.

rcech-Trees and Lightning.
Very curious facts about the prefer
ence of lightning for certain kinds Of
trees have been collected In Germany.
1t has long ben noticed that oaks
are far more frequently damaged by
lightning than beeches. As a partial
explanation 1t has been suggested that
the smoother leaves and bark Of the
beech, by producing a uniform wetting
OF the surface In q storm, may cause
lightning to reach the ground from
such tree with less damage than In
the case Of an oak. But the German
statistics just referred to indicate that
the beech Is comparatively exempt
from lightning strokes. Between 1879
and 1890, within a certain district,
fifty-six oaks, about twenty frs and
three or four pines were struck by
lightning, but not a single beech was
struck, although the beech was actu-
ally the most abundant tree In the
district, outnumbering the oaks al
most seven to one. A writer in Nature
suggests that this furnishes a practical
hint a. to what kind Of tree to take
shelter under In q thunder-stOrm-that
is, IL there are any beech-trees avail
able for the purpose.
