apart unless they are placed side by Iside.
 It is also said that pearl divers about Ceylon have a habit of inducing pearl growth in this same manner, although lit is a dangerous industry.
 Only a diver of the most expert kind dare attempt it. These men have cer- tain outward signs by which they can make a good guess as to the pearl producing quality of oysters. Ihey claim that oysters with very rough shells, having a certain kind or "whorl" to the grain of the shell are capable of producing the best pearls and the largest.
 Of course a perfectly appearing oy- ster may not contain any pearls, and if it is once removed from its clinging place on the rock all hope for the fu- ture is destroyed. In order to be sure of a pearl the pearl diver inserts a grain of sand between the shell and the mantle and then waits for it to grow.
 But the act of inserting the grain of sand is not quite as simple as might appear. There are several reasons for this, the principal one being that the oyster is likely to keep closed as long as there is anything unusual going on.
 To overcome this 1t Is necessary for the diver to watch his chance. This means that he must stay near the oy- ster as long as his breath will permit him and wait for it to open its shell. This may not happen in hundred trips to the bottom, and it may hap pen the first time the diver sees the oyster.
 When the diver does find the shell open he quickly inserts the plug and then goes to the top for a breath of air. His next work is to insert the grain of sand, which Is done with a pair of tweezers. The plug is then withdrawn and the oyster left to de- yelop the pearl.
 After this is done the diver devotes his efforts to watching that particular nearl oyster He makes 1t a business

to see that nobody else finds it. This
 is done by covering 1t with sea weed
 and keeping 1t from sight as much as possible. His next work is to keep 1t ] supplied with food. He hangs what
 he thinks the oyster will like just in l front of it, so that when it opens its
 shell the food will almost fall into ir. | Scientists declare the oyster does not eat this stuff, but the pearl diver holds
 different opinion.
 And when the period for the pearls | development is up the pearl diver
 breaks the oyster from the rock, takes | 1t to the surface and breaks it open.
 Perhaps he may be disappointed, per- | haps he has a fortune. There are 1 innumerable instances to prove both
 cases.
 1 It is authenticated that pearl | diver at Ceylon, after fixing" an oy- | ster, found on breaking it open that
 1t contained two other pearls, larger
 than the one he had given so much | time to developing. All were magnt- | ficent gems and the diver spent the rest
 of his days in luxury. A diver who
 has failed in this feat seldom tries it | a second time.
 There Is no reason why pearls should
 not be artificially induced in the oy-
 sters that are found along the Pacific 1 Coast Some of those from Mexico
 have yielded splendid pearls and Occa-
 sionally one is found in the vicinity
 of San Diego.
 1 While the oysters from San Francisco Bay occasionally yield small pearls it l is next to impossible to induce them ! by artificial means. It has been tried l frequently and has always resulted in disappointment The cause for this is l the water, which is neither salt nor fresh. Wind and tide cause the water
 of the bay to constantly change, so that one day it may be nearly all salt and the next day nearly all fresh Or dinarily it is a mixture of both This | of course prevents an even deposit of lime so that it cracks and peals and eventually becomes only a ridge on the | shell
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-07

It Is needless to say that he threw away his clans and filled his bucket with oysters. This was an easy mat ter at the time, as the tide being so very low he had only to pick them up from the puddles.
 When he got to Alameda with his oysters he found on counting them that and another boy went out together and brought back about 400. The boys sold these and told people where they got them. Then the rush" to the free oyster beds began.
 At first a number of people were in- clined to look upon the oyster beds as entirely natural, forgetting that the biyalves were much too large to be of the native California variety.
 Investigation, however, showed that many years ago the same company that now has oyster beds at Alvarado attempted to grow them off the shore of Bay Farm Island. For some req son the venture was not success and after loss of several thousand dollars spent for Eastern oyster seed the beds were abandoned. It was said at the time that the larger portion of the young oysters died in a few days. and that the others absolutely refused to grow any bigger than a 10-cent piece. It was impossible to find any reason for this, as the beds only a few miles farther away did splendidly. One Eastern expert gave 1t as his reason that the proper nourishment was lack ing in the water. Which may or may not have been the reason.
 At any rate, there are plenty of good oysters over there now that are not much trouble to get.
 A number of the oyster fishers who have gone there recently have been fully prepared for the work, even to a genuine oyster grapple. Thus equipped they have only to sit in their sail boat
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-07

thus fastened remains above the shell; though it Is presumed that In time the natural growth of the shell would en- tirely efface this.
 A clay marble, one-half inch in diam eter, was found after six months to be entirely covered; the top half showing some color, while the bottom portion had been "hilled up" to meet the di- ameter, thereby solidly embedding the whole.
 Another method is to drill hole where the object is to be placed, and ing. But the drill point ruptures the mantle, and the pellet drops into the body of the animal. where it becomes lost, or is forced out while the mollusk is feeding.
 To produce a good marketable pearl takes about three years. When this is desired the shell is opened in the way described and a tiny grain of ground" sand inserted. Sand of this kind has q rough surface and causes a rapid de-
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-07

posit of nacre immediately after being put in. It also, moves around consid- erably through having a large quan- tity of this fluid to move in. This causes it to become almost absolutely spherical and very light in color. It also follows that as the nacre is de- posted all over the grain of sand in- stead of on one side only it takes longer to get on coating of a certain thickness.
 After a year there will be a pearl about the size of birdshot and at the end of three years 1t will be large enough to have a marketable value.
 Pearls from fresh water, however, do not bring the high prices that salt water pearls do. They are never as bright nor as strong in color, but have more of leaden appearance. This is caused by the different action of salt water and fresh water on the lime of which the pearl is principally com posed. But it is difficult for any but an expert to tell the two kinds of pearl

taught a lesson, not only by a reminder of the fighting qualities of the Ameri- can character, but that with the Amer ican patriotism comes first and poli- tics afterward, with the country united against all corners. We have also our selves been taught a lesson which the country ought not soon to forget-the
