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 a view to extended operations.
The objection has been raised that the
mother-of-pearl she'll will not Give"
in a temperature of less than 68 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 IL
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 a profit

rently with systematic pearl-shell cul.

HEAD END COLLISION.


 Wreck Five Miles East of Flagstaff.
 About o'clock Monday morning five miles east of here, collision oc- cured between light engine going east and double-header freight train west-bound.
 Light engine, No. "A, in charge of F. NJ. Leavitt, engineer, and w. T. Fisher, fireman, and they were only slightly injured.
 The engineer of No. l36, Ed. D. Sewers, had his ankle broken and back bruised. R. F. Curless, fireman, was badly shaken up.
 H. w. Fuller, of engine No. TIP, had his back burned and legs badly bruised. Geo. D. Giles, the fireman, had his head and left hip badly bruised. Frank H. Pike, brakeman, had his righ, knee and hand badly bruised
 The injured men were taken to Albuquerque hospital on No. and were accompanied by Dr. Brannen, the company physician.
 All the men were hurt by jumping from their engines. Engineer Sewers jumped out of the cab window, and all would have been killed had they re- mained at their posts.
 The collision was terrific one, as both trains were going at high speed. All the engines were badly broken. The tender of l33 was turned upside down on the engine. A ''shoo-Hy" was built around the wreck and trains were delayed but few hours.
 The cause of accident was Engineer Leavitt overlooking his order to meet the double header here. He has rail roaded for thirty years and has never before had an accident.

Irving NJ Scott said he wanted to use
all the influence he possessed In helping
TO bring down San Francscos great park
TO the center of the city. He said:
This great State opened with the gold age.
Then came the agricultural age, the COM
mercial age. the speculative age and all the
time the city was growing great, and now
we come TO point when we must make our
vast municipality attractive, or all the
