noXious and poisonous elements which
overload the system; thus creating fresh

THE ORIGIN OF PEARLS.
They Always Form Around a For
eign BOdy-Cause of Iridescence.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Professor Stewards lecture at the ROYAL
institution was about the shell-formine
habits of the lamellibranchs or oyster fam
lily. The shell-bearing mollusks, he said
are, all endowed by nature with the very
valuable capacity of depositing beautiful
films of calcote or carbonate of lime from
the cells of their soft cuticle or outer skin
In this way they build up their shells.
The detailed structure of the Shell is
we'll worth studying. The layers of calcar-
eous matter nearest the cuticle are beauti-
fully smooth and polished, forming the
well-known mother of-pearl known to 20
ologists as nacre. The deposits takes fba
form of exceedingly thin, semi-transnar-
ent films, and it Is from this cause thar
the beautiful iridescence of nacre arises
Brewster, many years ago, thought he
had proved conclusively that this rides
cence was due to extremely fine lines on
the surface. because cast taken Of the
nacre in wax exhibited the same iri-
descence. Prof. Stewart mentioned that
he had repeated Brewster's experiment
and found that the iridescence of the wax
was due to fine films of nacre adherrine
to it. 1t may now be taken for grained
that the nacre films produce what are
known as Interference" effects in diff
fracting light and give rainbow tints on
the same principle as Newton's rings and
soap-bubbles.
The usual source of pearls found within
of some small foreign body, which sets
up an irritation of cuticle The only
means OF QeIenSe open TO the uOllusk ia
to deposit layer Of macre round the
irritating particle, and thus cut it off
from the soft, tender skin A grain ~
sand, small crustacean or a diatom NAV
slip in between the lips, and, setting up
irritation, provoke the cuticle to deT1osit
around it series of thin films Of nacre.
These are added to from time to time
like the skins of an onion, until uIti,
mately the little nucleus is completely en-
cysted, and a pearl is the result
In this way many curious deposits are
to be seen in mother-of-pearl, for the
oyster applies the same remedy to All
sorts Of foreign bodies, of whatever char
acter they may be. Prof. Stewart had
even seen little fish imbedded In the ma
ere. The Chinese, with their Ingenious
habit of turning natural phenomena 10

No American Publisher Able to Pay the
Price for His Memoirs.
Bismarck holds himself at a great
figure in literary way, as some of the
American publishers are finding out. 1t
looked last summer as If at least one of
the American editors in Europe would
bring back contract for the American
rights to the Iron Chancellors memoirs.
In fact, it was said that one of the
New York magazines had secured these
rights. Now it appears, however, that
the whole matter of American rights is
off, at least for the present. As high as
500, 900 was bid for the privilege of the
American publication of the memoirs
offered. But this was not enough, and
as neither publisher nor editor can be
found sufficiently daring to increase the
amount, the matter remains in statu
quo. 1t will require at least $40, 900
more to induce Bismarck's agent to say
yes to an American issuance of his
chiefs work. and even then the publ
cation cannot be made until after death,
and some time after at that. Further
more, only the smaller portion of the
work is finished-not more than enough
for two octave volumes, while the work
will extend to six at least. From all
this it is not very likely that the Ameri-
can people will read whatever Bis
marck has chosen or may choose to
write for some time to come. That
much is certain,

Chicago's Effort for First Class Jury.
MAY it please the court, l have a
prayer meeting to attend, and if I sit
on this jury the prayer-meeting can't
go on, said the Rev R. A. Haddock to
Justice Hall. The Justice paused in the
act of taking his fee for bond. Such
novel excuse had never come to his
knowledge, and it required considera-
ton.
This court has proper respect for
prayer meetings" he finally said, ''and
it shall never be said the blind goddess
who watches over this court was so un-
sympathetic and heartless as to deprive
a flock of its spiritual guide, at least
not while I am on the bench. You
may go to the meeting"
The reverend gentleman lost no time
in departing, and Constable McDonough
went out to seek another juror. The
justice explained that he had been
bothered lately with professional jurors
and curbstone loafers, who were al
ways within easy reach when a jury
trial was demanded. In a case that
came up recently he ordered the con
stable to bring in "a first class jury,

such overwhelming success that IL is
only matter of getting the political
machine" started, whom all tho cantons
of Switzerland will adopt it,
Today only one party can win in any
ono district. Result, bribery and corrup-
tion, in order to be that one party.
Under proportional representation all
parties can gain representation. Any
party can print the names of their can
didates on the regular ballot, provided
that party can show they can command
1 per cent of the total voting power.
Today it is practically impossible for
Prohibitionists or Single Takers to gain
the balance Of power with any one dis
trict. But under this system the Single
Takers could unite all over the state to
send one or moro representatives to con-
gress or to the state Legislature. Then q
man will vote with knowledge that it
will count for the party and principles
in which he is interested.
For any economic or political reform
movement, desiring to work along the
line of least resistance, proportional rep
resentation is the quickest method to
secure real and practical progress All,
Of whatever political shade of opinion,
can unite on this platform. The farmers
should take warning from the great loss
Of voting power and energy of the Pop
ulists, who in 1894 secured only seven
representatives after polling votes
which under proportional representation
would have entitled them to 40 men,
bers in congress, a loss of 33 members.
First secure proportional representa-
ton; then reformers can step into the
political arena with the knowledge that
every vote tells. Once in the field of
action people will consider it worth their
while to study your principles. As it is
now the reformers are practically dis
franchised, having no voice in the law
making Of the land
