HOme-NAda Pearls

Recent experiments by the experts of
the fish commission in Washington have
demonstrated that genuine pearls of high
quality may be grown in an aquarium,
fountains, fish ponds and in any other
pools of water which can sustain musselS,
oysters and other mollusks that emit
nacre, the beautiful iridescent secretion
of which pearls are made. Therefore
there is no reason why every family cam
not have its own pearl fishery.

Earth shiverings and Earthouake Ecb

Earth Shiverings and Earthquake Echoes
In the report of the seismoIogicaI
committee presented to the meteoro-
logical section of the British associa-
ton, Prof. Milne says minute shiver-
ings of the earth recur on the
average every half hour, but the
heavy breathings or true ground
swell does not occur oftener
than about once a week. The
minute shiverings and the larger dis
turbances are properly both earth
quakes, but they differ in their char
acter, in their duration, and, as they
radiate, their life becomes less. An
earthquake disturbance is often fol-
lowed by repetitions at definite inter-
walls, but with decreasing intensity
These rythmical ecre1sing impulses
are Professionally termed echoes.

BEET ROOT SUGAR.
IL Comprises Two-Thirds of the World'l
Product.

It Comprises TWo-Tnlrus OF tine WorloA
Product.
Two-thirds of the worlds sugar crop
is now produced in beets. None Of the
other foodstuffs has seen such rapid de-
velopment. In 1854 the total product
was less than $4,000 tons. Ten years
later 1T was about $4,000 tons. In
1871 it reached and passed the 1,000,-
600 mark. From that time on there
was gradual increase annually, as the
cultivation of sugar beets developed in
the different countries Of Europe, until
in 1898 the product reached the total Of
5,O00,0 900 tons year, more than twice
as much as was produced from cane.
The estimated crop for the present year
will reach 5,51O,00O tons.
Since 1892 the product of sugar cane
has fallen off. The average product
of cane sugar for the last twenty years
has been about 2,500,OO0 tons.
