ARTIFICIAL PEARLS.
silvery Luster on Pond That Set a
Readmaker Thinking.

The string Of artificial pearls was
very beautiful. But for the regularity
Of the beads anyone would have
thought it a rope Of real pearls worth
a kings ransom.
"Ill tell you" said the jeweler, as
he wrapped up the deceptive necklet,
how the wonderfully perfect artificial
pearl came to be invented.
"A rich French beadmaker Noise
Joaquin he lived in the seventeenth
century found pond in his garden
covered one morning with lovely sill
very luster. Amazed, he called his
gardener, who said it was nothing
some albettes had got crushed, that
was all.
"Albettes were little fish-bleaks--'
the Leuciscus alournus. The gardener
explained that if You crushed them
they always gave the water a pearly
sheen like that Joaquin put on his
thinking cap.
For six years he worked with beads
and bleaks, wasting millions of both.
But finally he achieved success. He
learned how to extract the pearly lus-
ter from the bleaks' scales and to
cover glass bead with it.
What he did-and his method is
still used--was to scrape the scales
from the fish, wash and rub them
and save the water The water, de-
canted, gave off a lustrous fluid Of
the thickness Of oil, a veritable pearl
paint, a magic fluid that imparts
lovely pearly sheen to everything it IS
applied to.
1T takes 1000 bleaks to yield an
ounce of this pearl paint. O.

PLANT IS GOING TO
Be BUILT AT ONCE
When Action of Council Is
Ratified.
NEW BUILDING AND MACHINERY
Old Equipment Here VIII Be Shipped
Away-Nsw Plant VIII Be Erected
and Enterprise Then Put Upon En-
tirely Bases


The action of the city council in ac~
cepting the proposition of Messrs bod
son and Leroy Davidson & Co. for cleo
trio franchise was very generally dis
cussed Yesterday, and the action of
that body will be fully ratified by
vote of the taxpayers at the polls.
For, while many citizens favored the
other proposition, thinking it probably
the best, they will readily acquiesce in
the action of council, and unite in max
ing Americas greater.
1t will be a strong pull all together
for Americas.
Personal opinion and preference will
be laid aside when the interests of
Americas are at stake, as at present
and when the election for ratification is
called six weeks hence the good citi-
zens of Americas will present solid
front at the polls.
1t will be the greatest victory fought
and won for Americas in all her his
tory as city.
At the next meeting OF council, doubt
less, an election for or against ratifica-
ton will be called, to be held at an
early date in March. A two-thirds vote
is required for ratification.
When this is done, the new company
will get actively to work,
The statements positively made that
every pound of the machinery now
employed in the electric plant here will
be loaded upon cars and shipped away.
Nothing of the old plant will remain,
as an entirely new equipment will be
p 1rchased.
The plant here now would be wholly
inadequate, and one several times larger
will be supplied.
Not even will the present buildings
be used by the new company, but new
and modern brick buildings viii be
erected in an entirely different portion
of the city for power plant.
The power plant will first be erected
and fully equipped with new and
modern machinery for pumping water
and lighting the city and supplying
power for the electric railway. 1t is
expected all these will be completed
within fifteen months.
The company will give bond to do
this within the time prescribed.
This proposition by Messrs. Dodson
and associates is the strongest, cheapest
and best ever offered Americas, and
citizens having at heart the material
interests and advancement of their city
will work enthusiastically and unitedly
to the end of adopting it.
1t means Greater Americas and great
er prosperity for her people.
