ORIGIN OF PEARLS.
A New Theory Advanced Accounting
for Their Presence in
shelInsh.

For many years the world has be-
lived that pearls are the result Of a
mechanical injury to the shellfish in
whose shell they are found. The the
ory has been that grain of sand, or
something irritating like it, gets into
the shell, and that the mollusk throws
of a secretion 10 cover it, which final
ly becomes the pearl.
The world has accepted this explana-
tion and practically all the textbooks
describe the formation of the pearl in
that way. Yet everybody who handles
pearls know that there is no grain Of
sand or any similar body in them.
Now, Prof. II. 4. Jameson Of the
Geological society Of London, asserts
that the theory Is tl'wrong. says
scientific exchange, re says that both
his studies and bis experiments prove
that the pearl i formed. non because
Of an injury from inorganic substances,
but because Of Irritation cauzed BY

Address by VIM. P.

masterful mind, and the Arrow

and the soldiers came SO near assto
be seen by the Indians, all at once
they gave up the pursuit and began
retracing their footsteps, as 0 Q as
they disappeared the Indians broke
camp and made forced marches only
stopping to take a little sleep till
they arrived to where Pipestone is
now situated, here they halted for a
day to obtain a quantity of the pipe
stone which from time immemorial
they have made into ornaments and
charms. | believe | am correct in
stating this is the only sport in our
country where this peculiar stone is
found, yet it is a singular fact, that
when our country was first settled
by the whites all the tribes of
Indians even as far south as Florida
possessed abundance of ornaments
made from itN
When passing through Pipestone
i'll July last in order to satisfy my
curiosity | questioned two or three
old residents in regard to the quarry
they informed me the stratum is not
over fourteen inches in thickness
oyerlaid by nearly four feet Of finty
rock very hard to drill or break and
this beneath two feet of earth.
Thus my readers can see the
supply is very limited and hard to
obtain and in what manner the
Indians all over ii country obtained
it is to me a mystery. A few years
ago by treaty a mile square contain
ing the famous quarry was coded to
the Sioux and upon the east boarder
of this tract are now the Indian
school buildings built of red sand
stone which is in abundance.
Again they took up their journey
in a northwest direction and reached

where Flandreau is now situated,

about six weeks. Mrs. Thatcher
although suffering the most e%xcruti

pack with the rest through lush and
snow keeping up with the hope hat
some day she might be rescued and
restored to her husband.
The freshet had dislodged many
trees which had foated down stream
and in several places had lodged in
such a manner as to atford danger
ous crossing places, some of the
Indians had crossed on one OF these
and Mrs. Thatcher was about to
follow, an Indian boy not more than
sixteen years of age took the pack
from her and when she was about
half way across pushed her into the
stream, let Abbie tell the rest.
