HOW THE JELLYFISH
MOVES IN THE WATER

The movements of the jellyfshes are
governed by ringlike disks which pulsate
rnythmically In response to stimuluses
says Professor A. q. Mayer. when the
outer sense organs OF the jeilyfsh cassio-
pea are cut OF, the disk is paralyxed ana
does not puisate in sea water But II the
muttlated disk be subjected to mechan-
ical o. electrical shock--a single touch
with touch with a crystal of potassium
sulphate VIII suffice--tt suddenly springs
into unusually rapid rhythmical pulsa-
tions. This Is regular and sustained like
clockwork and continues indefinitely
without further external stimulation The
waves Of pulsation all arise from the
point which has been stimulated. and any
cut that breaks the circuit stops the
waves Of pulsation. When each wave in a
complete circuit returns to the point
where the stimulus was first applied, II
is re-enforced and again sent out through
the circuit. The center-the point where
the stimulus 10 appled-once established
remains fixed as long as the disk con-
tinues to pusate. And. once II Is started
by stimulus. the pulsation Is self sus-
taining-that Is, IL continues. sustained by
internal stimuli until stopped by an ex-
ternal cause.--New York World.

REAL MOTHER OF PEARL
HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND

The real mother of pearl never has been
|found. for nobody knows how pearls are
born and made. The evidence that they
can be produced by inserting some foreign
body into the mussel is doubtful, says the
Chicago Tribune, though Linnaeus. the
Swedish naturalist. Is said to have owed
much OF his fame to the fact that he
could produce pearls by inserting grains
OF sand between the valves of the fresh
water rnussels which are to be found in
continental rivers.
Artificial pearl crosses are reported from
China as having been obtained by placing
q thin metal cross within the body OF n
pearl oyster and allowing II TO stay there
till il became covered with nacreous mat
ter. Prof. Herdman in his researches on
the pearl mussei OF Ceylon has found
that the peals In these shells are secreted
to cover a parasite, usually q nematoid
worm, whichspasses one of its life stages
within the shell. and no doubt a similar
cause will be found for the presence OF
pearls in fresh water mussels.
The commonly accepted theory that a
single grain OF sand within the mantle Is
sufficient to produce a pearl must be
abandoned. The expert fisherman pro-
fesses TO recognize a pearl bearing shell
from others. From the River Sain, which
is said 10 hold the finest Scottish pearls
was taken recently a shell with three
pearls. which was sold for $40. The shell
had three ridges running from the hinge
to the edge OF the valves. Such ridges
always are supposed to be signs OF pearls.
In the growth of the shell room has to
be left for the pearls.
The pearl is celebrated as treasure OF
the East and the tropical seas, but 1t 10
scarcely known as a product of Great
Britain. PeaN f1shfng is one OF the In
dustries OF the United Kingdom. The
story of British pearls begins with the
earliest records Of the country, with Cae-
sar. who carefully compared the British
pearl with the Oriental.
