prominent features of the military pa

from the railroad station, was Lieuten-
ant Dan Godfrey's British Guards
band, whose red uniforms were in
striking contrast to the blue clothing
of the balance of the military escort.
The English musicians had been hur-
ried in from Ann Arbor by q special
train to assist in welcoming the Amer
lean generals. They did their share to
the tune Of patriotic yankee marching
airs.
The crowds along the route Of the pa
rade were especially enthusiast in
welcoming General Wheeler, many
rushing out and grasping his hand as
he passed. General Alger was kept
busy bowling to friends Of his home
city.
The escort consisted Of mounted pc.
lice, Company Fl, seventh infantry and
band; Company NJ, Thirty fourth Mich
igan volunteers, Dstroit naval reserve
Godfrey's Guard Band, Detroit Light
Guard, Michigan military academy

/ ception. They will remain through tn,

Although pearls cannot yet be made
in the laboratory. they can be slowly
built up by natural process at the bot
tom of an aquarium. SIgnor Comba,
who has been experimenting for sew
eral years in the artificial production
OF this much -prized stone, is laying
down a large quantity of pearl oysters
on the shores of the Mediterranean,
with view 20 extended operations.
The objection has been raised that the
mo o.her-of-pearl shell will not "live"
in a temperature OF less than IS to 20
degrees Fahrenheit, and that the nor
NAL temperature of the Mediterranean
is too low to give any hope OF the sue
cess of the enterprise. The same ex-
pertinent has been carried on in
Queensland and western Australia
with great success, but those countries
are at prohibitive distance from the
chief markets for mother-of-pearl,
which are London. Hamburg and
Trieste, the expense of conveying the
pearls thither being too great. 1t is,
nevertheless, admitted that there are
great possibilities in the artificial pro-
duction of pearls. which, under skillful
management. could be made profit
