 HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
i've stsrs In This PeriIous t.ne sf
 Work.


 Work
 Two fanous pearl divers recently ,isited San Francisco to buy large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernaiia of the sea. Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in iheir periious line of work They were born on one of the islands of the Dan. gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both are thoroughly familiar with the ciyiliza tIoa of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters, says the New York Telegraph. Faipu is the principal native pearl herchant of the many hundreds whc have embarked in tho trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and a ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however, $ a mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shel,s for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would b. to invite i0ss. Valuable pearls are not frequent enough to make 1t pay, but the com. .- ercial lnotber of-pearl is made from he shells that they deal in. When t comes tc hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of scoop t,r 1redger than can take the place oi mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. AS rule, these are some dis lance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes a man will pick up fortuna n few weeks and sometimes he will hardly make expenses in season. Pearling Is stil! profitable, for the crude shells are sole at from $500 to $750 a ton, and the7e !s always a chance that a diver ma, make enough in cle day to quit 10, life. "We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet" said Opu, for the pressure Is too great. Even at these depths men cannot remain down oyer nVe or ten minutes, and the average life Of the deep diver iS Short."
 Openings for America.
 Within the next few years there will be tremendous opportunities for civil, mechanical and electrical engineers in Asia. When the Chinese cast the first railway from Shanghai to Woosung into the river they were only preparing themselves for a network of railways over the whole of China. When the Koreans in Seoul destroyed the new electric line and burned the cars they exhausted the forces of conservatism, and before long concluded that the electric railway was the best scheme for saving extra exertion in walking that had ever been devised -Ainslee's Magazine.

Three Po.so,s tn Tobacco smoke

z. Binz, in the Deutsehe Aerzte-Zel tang, says there are three kinds of poi son in tobacco smoke: nicotine; that which is obtained by the slow ash for nation, pryridin, etc, and carbonic OK. ide. Carbonic oxide is always easIy shown to be present in tobacco smoke. Its percentage depending upon the vol ume of the smoke gas, varies between 06 and 7.6. The variations depend upon the rapidity of the ash formation and the quantity of the atmospheric air drawn ir or the lung air blown out. A never-s1-slight acute poisoning from earbonie acid of tobacco smoke is, un- der ordinary conditions, scarcely to be expected. Whether the daily taking In of the small quantity of carbonic oxide which. throag gin many years of smoking, gets iata tic -@ of smok- ers. cannot set up ii injury, ia question etll! Q be a .a.

Under the above heading Dr. Henry Koplik of New York described recent sy in the Medical Record a phenomenon which he considers a very valuable sign in the very early stages of meas les. It consists of an eruption which appears on the mucous membrane lin- Ing the cheeks and lips. It can be seen only in very strong daylight fall ing from window direct on the muc ous membrane. It is then necessary to avert the mucous membrane covering the lips and cheeks. either with the fin gers or by means of spatula One can then see by close study the infnit. esimally minute bluish-white specks on a reddish punctate area in begin aing measles, and on a more difusely reddened background in advanceo cases, which arc absolutely character tstic of measles.

The Navel Orange.

In reply to an inquiry by cor
respondent, George w. Ladue, of
Swetnarn, To-, has kindly sent To
The Globe Democrat the following
interesting information about the
delicious fruit known as the navel
orange, from a resent issue oil
the Washington Star:
.'As Pomnoa was the goddess
of fruit in NEUROLOGICAL times, an
American woman ought to be the
goddess of our Florida and Cali
tornia orange growers, !" said an

Mr.. Eustace Lane, brother of
our townsmen W1n n. and Victor
Lane, who served as correspon-
dent for 3 time IN South Africa,
has an extended article in late
number OF the Stratford-upon-
Avon Herald, quite severely cen
suring the British army and the
conduct of many of the officers
thereof, who, he says, are not
qualified tor the positions which
they hold, and that with few ex-
ceptions they do not have the re,
spect of the men serving under
them. From the tone of the ar
ticle one would conclude that il
takes money and a social stand
ing to get a commission in the
British army, and that it is upon
the same plan as Admiral Samp-
son would place the United
States navy.

A New Credit System.

I Minneapolis Times: A new
departure has been introduced by
a Blue Earth City firm which
will be watched with no little
interest by Minnesota merchants
who have ndeavored to solve the
credit problem. The firm does a
general merchandise trade, and
in order to place it's business on a
cash basis, has opened banking
department. C stomers who de-
sire credit are given an oppor-
tuntty to obtain money at the
banking department., giving their
notes, which are drawn for short
loans without interest. The
cash thus obtained goes to the
mercantile side Of the establish
rl1ent, which is thus kept on a
strictly cash basis. The proprie-
tors are augulne over the new
plan and others are watching to
see the outcome. So far as is
kno Wn there is no other country
store in the State operating such
a system.

PuoilS SuoJyS IL cdllllS lue IuS-
cious fruit.
In letter FROM this unknown
lady, who WIS travelling through
the province of Bahia, Brazil, in
1868, to Horace Capron, the then
commissioner Of Agriculture. she
mentioned that the oranges of
Bahia were of superior quality to
those raised in the United States.
Her suggestion was called to the
attention Of the late William
Saunders, who was then in charge
of the gardens and grounds of
the department, and in 1870, in
response to an order, the depart
ment received from Brazil twelve
| young trees. These trees throve
and it was from the grating of
their buds that the great orange
orchards of California, which
cover thousands of acres, owe
their existence. They do not
grow as we'll in Florida. The
old tree in the agricultural gar
deus is one of the original trees
and bears we'll. 1t will, no doubt
be carefully cared for during life
aud a portion of its trunk will in
all probability be placed at some
future time in the National Mus
cum, as the historic parents of all
Of the seedless orange trees in
the United States, by that date
probably amounting to many
millions.
"There are, however, two
other trees which will divide the
honors, and they are known as
the Tibbetts trees at Riverside,
being two of the original young
plants sent out by the depart
inent. They came in bearing in
1879, yielding sixteen oranges,
and creating profound cornmo-
ton in California, as up to that
time only the seeding orange
had been grown, In one year
they yielded, from buds alone, to
their fortunate owners, $500.
The other plants seut out by the
department could never be traced,
and the seedless orange culture
III the United States is certainly
an example of the great results
which nay flow from small
things and the elaboration Of a
single idea.
1T was natter of regret, |
understand. with MIR. Saunders
that he did not secure the name
OF the lady who first called the
idea to Mr.. Capron'> attention.
| 1t would have been very fitting
! and appropriate thing to name
the new variety for her, and |
nave no doubt if the suggestion
had been made to him at the time
to thus honor her he would have
done so. as the variety passed for
| several years under the indefinite
title of the Bahia orange, and is
still called by some the Riverside
range, many persons not know
ing that the Riverside buds orig
Enally came from Washing ton.
"The orange season for the
present year in California will be
the heaviest in its history. 1t is
.stimated that the output will
amount to 1S,40) car loads, and
about $500 car loads of lemons. .

PASSED BY DEPUTIES
LAW OF ASSOCIATIONS BILL ADOPT
ED BY VOTE OF 3O3 TO 22O.
One of the Most Important Measures
That Has Come Before the French
Parliament i'm Decade.

PARIS. March 30.-The law-of-associa-
tions bill, one of the most important meas
ures considered by the French Parliament
during the last decade. was passed last
evening by the Chamber of Deputies by a
vote of 3Os TO 220, amid prolonged minis
terial cheers.
II Georges -Troyillot,,. reporter for the
committee having the bill in charge, closed
his appeal for its passage with the follow
ing impressive declaration: ITO our coun-
try, divided by political revolutions. the
republic gives a law which offers TO its
adversaries the greatest liberty, the right
to unite freely. No government, no cham
ber ever raised to so high degree of re-
spect the principles and sentiments of re-
publican duty"
The Rightists protested against these re-
marks, but their voices were drowned in
the loud applause raised by the Leftists.
The vote then taken. The chamber
had previously disposed of the concluding
articles of the bill without change. with
the exception of Article XVIII, which was
modified by the adoption of an amendment
proposed by NJ. Gustave L'Hopteau pro =
viding that the property of illegal congre-
cations should not be confiscated by the
state on their dissolution, but that the
question of the rightfui holders should be
decided by the courts.
The effect of the amendment will not be
to prevent the property going to the state,
hut TO give legal sanction TO the seizure.
NJ. LHopiteau explained that the object
was TO remove any anxiety which might be
aroused among the people that property
rights were endangered.
M Waldeok- Rousseau the premier. OBJ
jected to the amendment, mainly on the
ground that ii would give rise to intermin-
able legal proceedings. but the Chamber
adopted II. The result is not satisfactory
to the government, but 1T is believed that
Nj. Waldeck- Rousseau will try to induce the
Senate to eliminate what he considers the
Objectionable feature OF the amendment
the theory that the Chamber will indorse
the elimination when the bill is returned
for final action. The Chamber adjourned
to May IA.
