California Pearls.

The pearl fisheries of the Gulf Of
California have been enormously val
liable. In 1890 a large number of
pearls were collected for a collar. This
eventually came into the possession
of the Queen Of Spain, and is one of
the most valuable of the crown jew
els. A brown pearl worth eight thou
sand dollars, a black one valued at ten
thousand and an exquisitely lustrous
one which was sold in Paris for nearly
six thousand dollars have been taken
from these beds. Black pearls are
exceeding popular in Europe, and
nearly all Of this sort that are found
in California are sent over to the Eu-
ropean market. The Mexican govern
ment controls the fisheries, and the
business is put into the hands Of a
San Francisco company. About four
hundred men are employed, and the
oysters, after being lifted from the
rocks, are put into schooners and
taken to place where there are in
spectors, under whose charge they are
all opened. Pearl fishing is rather I'M
certain business, as one may open
thousands Of oysters without finding
anything worth while; again, in few
moments, thousands of dollars may be
realized.

At the foot of Cow Mountain, in Col
orado, the most remarkable caverns
have been found. There is a series of
chambers of various sizes, the roofs
hung with enormous icicles. The water
from which these were frozen must
have been very pure, as in some of
the cases the reflection and refraction
of light is truly wonderful, the glitter
suggesting the finest diamonds. The
chambers are connected by narrow al
leyways, and at point distant from
the entrance there is passage ex-
tremely narrow and inclined. This
leads to a cavern some three hundred
feet in extent, containing enormous
quantities of ice, which has frozen in
all sorts of quaint and grotesque fig
ures. In the middle of this cavern
there is lake sixty-five feet long. It
is quite deep, and the water is as clear
as crystal and cold almost beyond be-
lief. The lake appears to have no out
let, but there must be one, as the
water never rises above certain level.
An effort is to be made to make a
show place Of this cavern and turn
the vicinity to account as a pleasure
resort. Certainly as natural curios-
ity the place is well worth visit.

matter of curiosity. Carriere, who was
practical man and indefatigable in
vestigator, tried the most diverse
kinds Of grating and among other re-
suits obtained a crop of tomatoes up
on stems of the bitter-sweet. Mr.. G.
Ballet, an experimenter of the first
rank, has attempted to graft the d.
verse plants and has brought together
in a work entitled "L'Art de Greffer,' -
very useful directions and advice as
to grating and information as to the
species that can be multiplied with
certainty by this process.
In grating branches of the tomato
upon stalks of the potato M. Baltet's
son has made an interesting expert
ment, which shows the aff1nities of
two plants belonging to the same or
der (Solaonaceae) and the possibility
Of grating plants which have an
ephemeral existence in some regions
and which, at first sight, would not
seem to be capable Of giving so Curl
Gus results.

Eneot Of Shocks Upon Cast Iron.

Eject Of Shocks Upon Cast Iron.
1t has long been an accepted theory
that cast iron is injured by success
sion Of shocks. It has been supposed
that the iron becomes brittle and al
most worthless. Tests, have been
made to establish the facts in the
case. Pieces Of iron were struck three
thousand times with a hand hammer.
The gain in strength was from ten to
fifteen per cent. A number of iron
rods were placed in a box and shaken
In order to free them from the sand
OF the molds, and to give them q
slight smoothness and polish. They
were shaken for a long time and then
tested, when they were found to be
about fifteen per cent stronger than
the same bars that had not been
through this process. The theory is
that continual beating or tapping SOL
idifies the molecules and has an effect
not unlike welding. This is an i'm
portant discovery, as it gives the
benefits derived from annealing by
heat without any Of the objections to
this process. Heat sometimes changes
the chemical composition of the iron
and may affect the carbon. Still fur
ther tests are to be made, those al
ready reported having shown such
favorable results.
