PEARLS-Subscriber Mayf1eld, Cal.
Pearls are found in all waters where mus
sells or oysters abound. The most extern
sive fisheries are in the Red Sea, the Per-
sian Gulf, the Indian Ocean and off the
island of Ceylon. The greatest proportion
of pearls are found in the oysters fshed
off the coast of Ceylon; the average is one
in every ten oysters. A plan of making
pearls grow at will was submitted by one
Lnnaeus to the Swedish Government, and
that was to bore a small hole through the
shell of a river mussel and insert a small
grain Of sand so as to afford a nucleus for
a pearl. He established the practicability
of his plan and was rewarded by the Gov
eminent with a cash prize of $780, As a
commercial venture it was not a success.

WATER RIGHTS-S. T. D. c., Grass
Valley, Cal. The Supreme Court of Cali
fornia in the case of the Vernon Irr1ga-
ton Company VS.. the City Of Los An
geles, 1OS Cal. Reports, says: 1.-THE ri
parian owner is entitled to the continuous
flow of the stream as part and parcel Of
the estate and not as an easement or in
corporeal right issuing out Of the land,
and he does not own the corpus Of the
water, but incident to his riparian right
has right to appropriate certain portion
of it, and an appropriation cannot acquire
a right to any of the waters of stream
to the prejudice Of riparian owner by
any use, except under the statute of linn
itation" There is also the following de-
cision in the case OF Hargrave VS.. Cook,
1OS Cal: 1.-The right of riparian owner
to the waters of a stream, flowing through
or along his land, Is not a right of owner
ship in or to the water, but usufructory
right, including right to make use OF
a reasonable quantity for irrigation, re-
turning the surplus to the natural chan
mel, that it may flow on, in the accus-
toned mode, to the lands below"
IN OR ON-A. S., City. AS to the cor
rectness Of "an accident occurred on Mar
ket street, or an accident occurred in
Market street. there is much diversity of
opinion. Richard Grant White, in words
and Their USES, has the following In re-
gard to the use of in and on: can en-
deavor toward precision has led some folk
to say that man was on Broadway, or
that such and such an event took place
on fremont street, and Mr.. Howells coun-
tenances this folly by writing: There
were few people to be seen on the
streets. Let him and all others who
would not be at once childish and Pc
dantic say in the street, in Broadway,
and not be led into the folly of endeav-
oring to convey the notion that a man
was resting upon or moving over an ex-
| tended surface between two lines of
houses. A house itself is in Broadway
not on it; but 1t may stand on the lire
of the street. An event takes place IN a
! certain street, whether the actors are on
the pavement. or on the steps, or in the
balcony of a house IN that street or in
| the house itself. We are in or within a
| limited surface, but on or upon one that
| is without visible boundaries"

Another viking ship Found.

Another Viking ship, or rather boat.
has been unearthed near Kiel, but this
new discovery cannot compare in di-
mensions with the finest specimen Of
its kind, which may be seen by tour
lists at the museum in Christiania. In
fact, this clinker built Viking vessel,
which is about the size of one o&Dur
modern fishing boats. is perhaps the
most interesting thing to be seen in
all Norway. Those who see it will
realize for the first time why "star-
board" or "steer-board," is applied TO
the right side of vessel, as the helm
protruded from this side, and not from
the stern, which is practically the same
as the bow. There is a popular i'm
preston that "viking" is etymologic-
ally synonymous with "Sea-King"-
but this is erroneous. The word is not
Viking" but Viking" or "bay-
man"-"Vik" meaning sea inlet" or
bay" Its counterpart is found in
such English place names as Warwick,

SMART BOYS IN WALL STREET

ohODa.

Wall street sharpenS the pnts OF
boy, and frequently tempts them to
dishonesty. In one case. says the New
york sun, a boy who carried orders
from the ofice partner of the hrm to
the board member fell under suspicion.
The firm found that q certain bucket
shop seemed TO know of its orders
even before they were placed. Indfvid-
ual orders do not always affect the
market, but this particular hrm repre-
sented interests that did frequently
control the rise and fall of certain
stocks. The messenger was carefully
watched. but at first nothing out OF
the way could be discovered about him.
He went straight to the exchange and
hurried as though his life depended
on il. In his haste he often collided
with other boys. Finally 1t was no.
ticed that, whenever he had an order
of any importance he invariably had .
collision. He ran into boy, whispered
to him the order which he had on a
slip of paper, disentangled himself
from the mix-up, and sped along to
the exchange. The second boy ran
to a bucket shop in the neighborhood,
turned in the tip. and his friends there
acted on the firms order even before
1t had reached the floor.
Another scheme which stirred up
the whole exchange was worked by
four boys. Three of them were mes
sengers. The fourth was an expert
telegrapher. None Of the four was
more than IS years old,
The young telegrapher was in the
telegraph room of the stock exchange,
and, although he wasn't one of the
operators, he could read by ear every
thing that came over the wire. When
anything important turned up he gave
information at once to a boy outside.
1t was never found out exactly how he
did it, but the boy outside had base
ball whose cover was slit. He tucked
the slip of paper under the leather and
threw a hot ball to another boy half
block down the street. This third
boy drove the ball to a fourth boy, at
the door of a well-known bucket shop.
This boy took out the slip, read il,
and made bucket shop deals accord
ingly. The boys had only a few hun
dred dollars to start the game with,
but they always won; and, in times OF
great excitement and fuctuation they
made big sums. for they had their in
formation before news of the big
movement could reach the bucket shop
through the ordinary channels. The
bucket shop brought about the ex-
posure.
A scheme very similar was worked
ON the consolidated stock and petro-
ieum exchange by three boys, only in
THIS case the boys passed the tip along
by sign language and the third boy,
posted at the door of the exchange,
ordered his broker TO act upon the
news.
