Governor by a tremendous plurality. Therew would probably be no serous ques-
ton of the election of deegates-at-large by the Republican State convention

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Just what kind of a substance is
mother-of-pearl, and where does it
come from? READER.
1.-THE shells of many m~olluscous n
mails display a brilliant pearly and iri-
descent lustre, resulting from the
peculiar ann in which the layers
of calcareous matter of which they are
composed have been successfully
formed. Such shells, even when small
in size, form bright and, especially to
the untutored eye, attractive orna-
ments, and Is sue are used for neck
laces n similar purposes. When the
shells are of sufficient size to Ct and
shape for purposes of utility. they be-
come articles of some commercial i'm
portance under the name of mother-of-
pearl. This term, though applicable to
all pearly shells, is in commerce prin-
cipally applied to the shells of the
bivalve pearl mussel, which is the
principal source of the commercial
product. The largest and steadiest
consumption of mother-of-pearl is in
the button trade, and much Is also con-
sumed by cutters for handles of knives
and forks and pocket-knives.-Ed.]
