NATURAL PEARLS.
Uncle Sam Is About To Engage i
Their Production.

The new station of the government
fisheries bureau, near Fairport. Ia, will
soon be in full operation. An extensive
system of artificial ponds has been
established for Matching and rearing
pearly muSsels and for the incidental
production of natural pearls on lare,
scale. this being the novel purpose t.
which the work of the station is to b,
devoted.
Later on large numbers Of basses
and suniish will be prupagated, but
merely for pear1-cutural purposes
For it should be understood that thu
pearl producing mussels can exist onl,
where there are fish-the bi-valves be
ing actually parasites of the latter

they are free-swimming creatures Qike
oysters and clams), and their prospect
of survival depends entirely upon the
rather remote chance of getting hold
of finny nurse.

resembling ice-tongs in shape. With

WHEN GENIUS NATURES.
Or Hall Shows How Period of Cul
mination Varies.

Many studies have been made TO find
ont when rare genius or talent in special
directions eliminates. These studies
show conclusively that the age of eff
cheney is very different with the different
vocations of life. Mathematical prodigie,
bloom early. not few of them before
puberty, and some of them lose theh
powers as they advance in life. Actors
very often make their first successes at
1r even before, the age of %. and this is
true not only of young women but OF
young men in this walk of life.
1t has often been said that the Ameri
IAN girl will never again be quite sc
beautiful and charming physically as she
: in the very latest teens or the early
,wenties, never again quite so brilliant
md intuitive. SO truly charming.
Musical talents bloom early, as Ian
.aster, Swift and others have shown il
many instances where not only musicians
but poets have done their most brillian
work before the age of %. In general
irtists of all kinds perform their greatest
work in the first four decades of life.
Again, there have been even preeocious
philosophers, like Hartmann. who wrote
his PHILOSOPHY of the Unconscious,
startled the world when he was in the
wenties. Descartes, Berkeley and Schel
'ng belong in this class, says DIR. G
stanley Hall in the Youths Companion

say, in broad pounches in the outer
gills. Eventually it throws out into
the water dozen or more triangular
packets;each of them half an inch
long and containing several thousand
young. These brood packets look like
little pieces OF pearl. After lying on
the bottom for a while. they go to
pieces. liberating the young larvae,
which swim about and seek an op-
portunity to attach themselves to
passing fishes.
Such is the life history of the pearly
mussel. 1t will be understood, there
fore, why the work of the Fairport
station will involve the incidental rear
ing of sunfishes and basses. These
fishes will be placed in ponds contain
ing beds of mussels, at the season when
the latter are spawning, and will thus
become "inoculated" with the mussel
larvae. Trials have already shown
that by such means fishes may be
heavily loaded with the larvae that
they can hardly swim. The water in
the immediate neighborhood of the bed
at such a, time is full of the baby BIZ
valves, great numbers of which attach
themselves to the fins and gillS of a
single fish.
The principal objec. of the work at
Fairport will be to stock streams and
lakes in various parts of the country
with pearly mussels. Evidently the
easiest way to accomplish this will
be t. inoculate fishes in the manner
above described. and to ship them by
rail or otherwise to any desired
point-just as nowadays the fisheries
bureau ships fishes OF many kinds for
hundreds and even thousands of miles.
