GIRL PEARL DIVERS OF JAPAN
Young Women, Often as Young as
Fourteen Years, Engage in Work.
Clothes and Equipment.

The pearl divers of Japan are the
women. Along the coast Of the Bay of
Ago and the Bay of Gokasho the thir.
teen and fourteen year old girls after
they have finished their primary school
work go to sea and learn to dive. They
most from babyhood and they spend
most of their time in the water except
in the coldest season, from the end Of
December to the beginning of Febru-
airy.
Even during the most inclement Of
seasons they sometimes dive for
pearls. They wear a special dress,
white underwear, and the hair is twist
ed up into hard knot. The eyes are
protected by glasses to prevent the en-
trance of water. Tubs are suspended
from the waist.
A boat in command of a man Is
assigned to every five to ten women
divers, to carry them to and from the
fishing grounds. When the divers ar
rive on the grounds they leap into the
water at once and begin to gather oy-
sters at the bottom. The oysters are
dropped into the tubs suspended from
their waists.
When these vessels are filled the
divers are raised to the surface and
jump into the boats. They dive to a
depth of from to 80 fathoms without
any special apparatus and retain their
breath while remaining under water
from one to three minutes. Their ages
vary from thirteen to forty years, and
between twenty-five to thirty-five they
are at their prime.

PRUNE TREES
AND SHRUBS
Severe Annual "SIashin9", So
Commonly Practiced By Un-
skilled Persons Should
Not Be Tolerated.

The severe annual "slashing" so
commonly practised by unskilled per-
sons on many Of our city street trees
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities.
Evergreens should never be trimmed
in the fall, and the older wood should
not be cut.
Vigorous growing vines, like the
Virginia creeper, may have practically
all the secondary growth cut away
during the dormant season, as this
dies of itself sooner or later thus
forming lodging for dust, insects and
sparrow nests.
When pruning roses, the stems
should be shortened one-third to one
half. The gardeners rule is to cut
back the weak growing varieties
severely, and the stronger ones less.
The ideal street tree like the ash,
locust, poplar, cottonwood or walnut,
has a well-defined trunk with lateral
branches uniformly arranged about,
and is headed high enough so as not
to interfere with those passing by.
Such a tree is not difficult to get If
one starts out right. None but straight,
healthy trees should be planted, and
these headed six or seven feet high
as soon as convenient, though this
matter should not be hurried. A cen
trail leader should be kept and the
lateral branches cut back enough,
where their growth is too open, to Sc
cure symmetrical and also sub.
stantial form. This latter is neces.
sary because street trees are subject

PETRIFiED BODIES FOUND.

Baltimore, Md.--While exhuming
bodies in st. Charles cemetery at
Pikesville, grave diggers encountered
a remarkable case of petrifcation
one body being found that had become
as hard as rock and as heavy, and was
preserved to the veriest detail of fea'
rure.
When the men sought to lift the
coffin in which was the body of Mrs.
Eliza Doyle, they found they were un.
able to raise it from the grave.
Mrs. Doyle died IS years ago. The
petrifcation is attributed to the chem.
ical action of elements in the ground
at the point at which the bodies were
inferred.

REVIEW Of TRADE
Moderate improvement Is Apparent in
Many Lines, Including Iron
and Steel.

New York;. 6. Dun & Co.'s week
ly review of trade says:
Changes in the business situation
are in the line of moderate improve
ment. Crop reports are better, and
this is plainly indicated by the down
ward tendency Of prices. Visible I'M
provement is taking place in the iron
and steel trade, and this is the best
development of the past few days;
there is a larger demand for both pig
iron and for finished products, espe-
Cially in agricultural and structural
lines.
Demand from railroads for equip
ment is somewhat restricted by uncer-
tainty regarding freight rates, yet
some good business in rolling stock is
regarded as certain and rails have
been taken in moderate amounts.
Buying of cotton goods is still lin
tied and mills are still indisposed to
accept long contracts owing to unsat-
isfactory prices. Curtailment is grow
ing as the crop season advances.
"The trend of trade is toward I'M
provement, however. In woolens and
worsted stock goods are being offered
at concessions and mills are conserva
tive in the matter of operation in fall
lines not under order.
"The yarn markets are steadier and
little more business Is being done,
JohDers are making headway in clean
ing of seasonable goods, but retailers
are still very conservative in the vol
ume of their weekly purchases.

Factors in crop Production.

Discussing current advice to farm
ers, during the course of an address
in Chicago recently, Prof. Cyril G.
Hopkins said:
There are six essential factors in
crop production; seed, oil, heat light,
moisture and plant food. The first
five are supplied in abundance, but
the last is ignored, misunderstood, or
neglected. Of the ten elements nec-
essary for plant food, phosphorus is
found in such limited quantities in
normal soil that crops are limited.
yet we permit the annual exporta-
tion of more than twice the quantity
required for the total wheat crop;
and for every five dollars of foreign
money paid for phosphates this mate
rial would be worth at least 81 900 to
our own children"
