press Eugenie, who possessed q string OF
magnificent black pearls which at enc time
was valued at 500, 600 francs. Black pearls
are obtained from the Gulf Of California,
Tahiti, Fill and in very small numbers
from Panama and Western Australia. tn
very rare greenish-b black pearls are more
coveted than the true black, and when
possessed OF the right orient exceed In
value those Of any other color.
Choice pearls OF other colors command
high prices, yellow, pink and red ones each
having their admirers. In China and india
those Of a bright yellow shade rank Arst In

Of the Orientals better than the pure white

II is dinicuit to state the value Of the
choicest pearls. this depending entirely o n
the special demand. There are very many
In existence which are worth upward Of
$40, 900, and doubtless there are a number
worth S25, 900 each, and possibly one or
two could not be purchased for ten times

OF the interest In the possibility OF aiding
or starting the growth Of pearls in mol
lusRs. This was nrst suggested In Europe
by the Swedish naturalist Linnaens In 1871.
It Is stated that al unsuccessful attempt
was made to sell the secret of the process
to the Swedish government, and finally U
was purchased by a merchant OF Gothen-
burg for 500 ducats. In 1870 the executors
OF this merchant offered the secret to the
highest bidder, with what result does not
appear. Linnaeus' method consisted in the
artificial introduction Of grains Of sand or
other foreign matter within the shell of the
living mollusk, the resulting irritation
causing the formation Of pearly layers
about the foreign body, resulting In a pearl.
Many years later it became known that this
method Of producing pearls had been prac'
ticed by the Chinese for many centuries.
These artificial pearls are usually crude in
shape and Of comparatively little CONNER
eial value.
ArsiaeiaI Pearls.
Experiments In growing pearls artihcially
In abalones or balliotis were made in 1881
by M. M. Ia Benton. an account Of which
was given at the meeting Of the Paris
Academy Of Sciences in 1898. The t~enacity
Of life in this mollusk makes 1t especially
desirable for experiments OF this nature
Round masses Of pearl she'll were inserted
through a small hole bored into the shell
and placed within the mantle. the small
hole being afterward closed. Others were
introduced directly into the bronchial cav
ity. The objects we're soon covered with
thin pearly layers, resulting IN . few
months in globules Of much beauty closely
resembling the genuine pearls produced
by these moIlusks. Til result OF these
experiments seemed TO encourage further
efforts. and possibly In the course Of time
there MAJ be a profitable business In
growing pearls in abalones on the Pacinc
coast Of the United States. Indeed, the
experiments Of NJ. savilIe-Kent. a Queens
