AN ARTIFICIAL PEARL.
Produced by Placing Ball of Wax In the Shell of a Fresh Water
 MusseI.

A bali of beeswax introduced into the shell of living fresh-water mus- sel has resulted in producing the most remarkable artificial pearl in existence. It is about an inch and a half in length, oval in form and pink in color, and is now the property of the Smithsonian Institution, reports Washington exchange.
 The ball of wax was placed near the hinge of the bivalve, which being in a tank of fresh water, was care fully watched. The irritation of the wax caused the mollusl1 to protect itself by coating the foreign object with smooth coating of pearl stuff the same material as that which is used in lining the inner surface of it's shell. In the case in question the result was an enormous pearl. Owing to pressure, however, the wax ball lost it's spherical shape and become oval in form.
 At the end of two years the mussel was taken out of the tank and opened and the pearl removed. The wax afterward contracted owing to dry ness, which caused the pearl shell to crack. This accident, while destroy ing the commercial value of the pearl, made it possible to observe the thickness of the nacreous covering, which is somewhat greater than that of an ordinary sheet of letter paper. If the pearl were not fawed it would 'e worth an enormous sum of money, but even as it is it is priceless as Q curiosity.

USING CONVICT LABOR. It Might Be Employed Advantage ousIy in the Construction O3
 Permanent ROada.

The coming of the Southern rail. ways good roads train has, we believe, done more to arouse interest in the subject of better highways than any thing that has ever been attempted along this line. It has not only afford ed valuable object lesson in the prac- tical work of road building, but it has put the people to thinking on the problem of how to secure better roads.
 This thought has naturally turned to that class of labor which the state al- ready owns and controls-its convicts. And the opinion seems to be forming that some rational, practical plan for utilizing this labor to this end is the one to be first considered.
 The Journal frankly admits that 1t has not as yet given the matter suffi- cient thought to be able to advance a definite idea as to what is best along this line, but 1t has been impressed with the suggestion that to use the convicts to build modern system of public highways is to be carefully con- sidered, providing such a system can be made practically self-supporting and at the same time be free from the objectionable features which are, ob- viously, involved in this public display of criminals in stripes.
 The first and foremost benefits to be derived, it seems to us, is in removing the convicts from competition with honest, free labor-a condition which. while clearly objectionable, is no easy one to solve.
 Other states have tried to solve this problem in various ways, but so far with indifferent success. If, as claimed to turn the whole system over to the work of building modern roadways is the solution of it, we take it that every one will welcome such an ar, rangement.
 The proposition to make the system pporting by conducting cloth ing, shoe and tool factory and farm in connection with the system, where all iong term, decrepit men and women convicts may be employed in produc- ing supplies for the entire system. and for this purpose alone, seems, on the face of it, to be one way of removing the convicts, as nearly as would ever be possible, from competition with free labor, and at the same time of making the system practically self supporting.
 At any rate, the matter is one that is going to occupy the attention of our people from now on, and it may even be made an issue in future Legislative elections, so that we may reasonably expect to see the solution reached be- fore very iong.-Atlanta (Ga.) Journal

-----~-- SAVE YOUR OWN SEEDS.
Th1s Advice Applies Not Only to Ama- teurs and Farmers But Also tG
 Market Gardeners.

Why not save your seeds? It is wiser, better, cheaper, and adds ma terially to the pleasure of garden ing. You desire the best. To secure that, select the best of that which suits you the best. There is a great diversity of taste; some prefer one form of color, another quite differ ent one. This is an individual mat ter, and in no way affects the prin- clple. We all have our preferences as to species We all want the best defined of given type. To secure thls result, selection is necessary, and selection means choice. It means the most vigorous plant that produces the flower or vegetable best suited to your taste. Save the seeds from such for future use. Great care is required to make the selection yalu- able. After a choice of plants is made, the first flower should not be allowed to seed, as they are never so perfect as those that come later. if the second flowers are all that can be desired, if they are Improvements over those of previous years, carcful- ly remove all the undeyeloped 5ucs on the plant, so as to give the blooms the full strength of the,plant fer Che ripening of their seed. This is the way all new varieties are produced. and the way that others may be r a flower shows the slightest change in color or marking, it is a sure inai- cation of new variety. From this plant save the most marked, even though the flowers in other respects may not be desirable. Save the flow CT for seed that shows the greatest change, and do not trust another to bloom until that seed is ripened. Follow this mp fer few years and a variety may be produced of more money value than the cost of the whole garden during those years.- Agricultural Epitomist.

FIRST WAR IN HISTORY.
Inscriptions Lately Uncarthed Re- veal the Fact That Egypt Once
 Invaded France.

That Egypt and France held inter- course as early as 4o0o B. c. is proved by the marked resemblance of inscrip- tions found in the two countries, says the Philadelphia North American. The excavations of Prof. Flinders Petrie have brought to light evidence of an extremely ancient movement between the land of the Pharaohs and the coun- tries bordering on the Mediterranean.
 This communication, like all other great invasions of history, had its The great wars of the eighteenth Egyptian dynasty were provoked by surrounding nations jealous of Egypt's growing wealth and power. In retail ation Egypt carried the campaign into Asia and Europe, and, judging from the inscriptions mentioned, must have pushed as far west as France.
 Prof. Petric has in his possession series of figures found in Malta and neolithic remains from Brassenpuoy in France which are beyond chance of doubt the work of Egyptians. They establish intercourse long before the period which is generally recognized as the beginning of the history of the countries of Europe.

The total value of the products from this amount of seed used was $42, ,411,- S35. The quantity crushed was B per cent. of that produced.
