So 900 worth His largest gem. the
most valuable that has been taken from
this section, weighed sixty-eight grains
and sold for $500.
In the Grasse river district the pearls
are found under different conditions
rom those of either Arkansas or Wis
consin, as the clans are found in the
swift shadows OF the Adirondack
stream. The pearl fisher has special
outfit consisting OF rubber suit and
a sort of abbreviated divers mask.
which is strapped TO his head. This
mask Is simply light wooden box
with a glass In front of the eyes. When
this is immersed in water the hunter
can clearly scan the rocky bottom, and
can find the mussels which he could
not get by feeling for them, as they
do in the Arkansas mud The novices
open all the clans they find, but the
more experienced hunters can tell by
the appearance of a shell whether 1t
is likely to contain a stone, and throw
back all but the most promising ones.
Some pearls have recently been found
in northern Georgia, and the whole
subject appeals to the government as
so important that Prof. Ellsworth Call.
of the Smithsonian institution, has
been directed to Investigate the differ
ent fields and report upon them.

badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped IL possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble
Upon examination, he found there

gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia

after the flow became more natural and

ache was gone.--MRs. b. A. LOMBARD,

MUIR GLACIER.
Man At:er whom II Is Named Tells an
AIaskaa story.

Man af.er Whom IL Is Named Tells an
Alaskan story.
Mr.. John Muir, the discoverer OF the
great Muir glacier. writes OF THE
Alaska Trip" in the Century. Mr..
Muir says OF the glacier that bears
his name: The number Of bergs given
on varies somewhat with the weather
and the tides. For twelve consecutive
hours counted the number discharged
that were large enough to make them
selves heard like thunder at distance
OF a mile or two, and found the average
rate to be one In five or six minutes.
The thunder OF the largest may be
heard. under favorable circumstances,
ten miles or more. when a large mass
sinks from the upper flssured portion
of the wall. there is first keen. pierre
ing crash then 4 deep. deliberate. long
drawn-out. laundering roar, which
slowly subsidies into a comparatively
low. far-reaching, muttering growl;
then come a crowd OF grating, clashing
sounds from the agitated bergs that
dance in the waves of the newcomer,
as K in welcome. and these again are
followed by the swash and roar of the
berg-waves as they reach the shore and
break among the boulders. But the
largest and most beautiful Of the bergs.
instead OF falling from the exposed
weathered portion OF the wall, rise
from the submerged portion with still
grander eommotion, heaving aloft
nearly to the top Of the wall with aw-
full roaring. tons of water streaming
like hair down their sides, while they
heave and plunge again and again be-
fore they settle in poise and sail away
as blue crystal islands, free at last aft
er being held fast as part of slow
crawling glacier for centuries. And
how wonderful 1t seems that the ice
formed from pressed snow on the
mountains two or three hundred years
ago should. after all It's toll and travel
in grinding down and fashioning the
face of the landscape. still remain pure
and fresh and lovely in color! When
the sunshine is pouring and sitting In
iris colors through the midst of all this
wilderness of angular crystal ice, and
through the grand. flame-shaped Jets
and sheets of radiant spray ever rising
from the blows OF the falling bergs, the
effect is indescribably glorious.

The Arkansas pearl fisheries are
recommended as good substitute for
Alaska for these who are In search Of
