FORMATION OF THE PEARL.
Parasite Goes Through Much Before
Becoming Valuable.

Curious Is the history of pearl para.
sites. Worthless pearls occur in the
common mussel. They are formed from
the larva of fluke-parasite, which, in
its full development, inhabits the bud
known as the Scooter" When the
Scooter swallows a mussel containing
the young parasite it grows into the
full-fiedged fiuke in the bird. How the
eggs OF the parasite get into the mus
sci is explained by the theory that
they pass from the birds body, swim
freely in the sea in their early stages,
and thus gain admittance to the mus
sells. Possibly an intermediate host,
the cookie, intervenes, and, If so, the
mussel would therefore probably re-
ceive its parasite from it's neighbor
mollusk. The. Ceylon pearloyster's
parasite seems to be the young OF
species Of tapeworm.
The intermediary host has been
traced in the shape Of fish-one of
the skates or rays. This fish feeds
on oysters, and acts as host to the
worms, and the eggs Of the parasites,
csCdpiHS iioin the uSn, enIef the Oy-
sters, and such as are favorably placed
give rise to pearls. The fish is real
friend to the pearl industry, and can
not be grudged its meals if, as is prob
able, 1t sets free the youthful para
sivss which form the nuclei of the
valued pearls.
That the Ceylon pearl industry Is
again tiourishing is due TO the scien-
tific teaching which followed on a
commission sent out to investigate the
causes of former failure. Radio
graphy, the X-ray system, is even now
used to show whether oysters contain
pearls or not, so that oysters destitute
Of the valued concretion can be re-
turned to the sea.

ROSY AND PLUMP
Good Health from Right Food.

"It's not a new food to me-" re.
marked a Va. man, in speaking of
Grape-Nuts.
about twelve months ago my wife
was in very bad health, could not keep
anything on her stomach. The Doctor
recommended milk half water but 1t
was not sufficiently nourishing.
"A friend OF mine told me one day
to try Grape-Nuts and cream. The re.
suit was really marvellous. My wife
soon regained her usual strength and
to-day is as rosy and plump as when
a girl of sixteen.
"These are plain facts and nothing
I could say in praise of Grape-Nuts
would exaggerate in the least the
value Of this great food"

Caspian Sea Puzzles Scientists,

No one can tell what is happening
in the Caspian sea. For years past
it's waters have been falling, and it
has been supposed that the great in.
land sea was gradually drying up.
Recent soundings revealed the aston.
ishing fact that the Caspian is at pres.
ent actually deeper than it was a cen.
tury ago. There is only one possible
hypothesis. The bottom of the ssa
must be dropping out.

7ean, Of Mules Drowned; Backed
 With Wagon Into AL0bama RiUer

into the collars again, but one of them slipped. the wagon started backward and forced by the heavy weight. the mules were sasily dragged down the decline.
 The wagon struck the boat. driving it from the hank. and before . hand could be stretched to catch the harness, the outfit was backing rapidly into the river. The mules fought hard as they felt the ley water and turned the wa ter at the bank into foam with their frantic efforts for a footing. Yellow spray was splashed in every direction. the wet backs of the mules glistening, but back they went, paving. tossing their heads and shaking in fear.
 The river bank at the far side of the ferry drops more abruptly than on the city shore, and the wagon went over the edge of the channel. and fin mo- ment the mules were dragged from their scant footing and submerged. Some of the bricks in the wagon must have been thrown out, for the mules came to the surface paving frantically. but were caught by the current. For a few yards they swan. fighting against the weight of the wagon, then went under.
 A few soapy looking bubbles came to the surface and mingled with the coil ing yellow water of the surface of the stream.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-02-11

Their big. knotted muscles quivering. their red tongues loiling out. and their eyes staring, two big black mules fought gameiy, for life yesterday. as Q heavy wagon dragsed them back down the river bank into the stream, where they eventually drowned.
 The team belonged to W. A. Hem derson and wagon load of brick was being conveyed across the river fin the ferry boat that plys between the city at the foot of Coosa Street and the opposite shore. The team hauled the wagon into the boat on the city side easily and were transported safely. trouble not starting until they had left the boat.
 With . lurch, the two mules jerked the wagon out of the boat and with hips low and heads down. strained at the collars, as they stamped up the ascent of the bank. But the heavy rain Tuesday had made the roadway slippery and time and time again the animals feet slipped from under them. The driver coaxed, cursed, cajoled and fiogged and the mules responded nobly. They were half way up, when the off mule slipped heavily and came to his knees. He regained hls feet quickly and the fight was resumed. but their feet sank in the mud only to slip and then all they could do was to hold the cart still. Then the mules lurched
