X-RAYs AND PEARL OYSTERS
New Discovery Used In Seeking Gems
without Injury 70 the
Animal.

At a time when considerable atten-
ton Is being paid to the pearl industry
Of CeylOn, and the government Is TAX
ing extensive measures 10 protect the
oyster fisheries there, II Is Of interest
TO record q discovery recently commn-
nicated to the Paris Academy Of
Sciences by II. Dubois relative TO using
ROentgen rays to examine oysters. II
has been found that these rays enable
an observer to determine At once
whether q living oyster contains a
pearl or not without injury to the ami
NAL, and in case the pearl is small the
oyster may be replaced in the bed un-
til further growth takes place and the
desired size Is reached, says Harper's
Weekly. In the scientific examination
of the pearl oysters Of Ceylon Il has
been ascertained that the popular belief
that the nuclei Of pearls are formed by
minute grains of sand or other parti-
eles holds good in but few instances.
and that in most cases the pearls or
pearly eXcrescences are produced by
the irritation Of boring sponges and
burrOWing worms. The best germs re-
suit from the stipulation Of a parasite
worm which becomes incased and dies.
