TO SPY ON THE OYSTER.
An x-RaI viii Be Used 10 Searching for
Pearls.

It may not be a momentous
matter to many persons, not half
so much as a poor corn crop, but
it is stated that the crop of pearls
is running a little shy, the Boston
Globe says. As almost every
body knows, the only way to
find out if an oyster has a pearl
is to pry him open. # he has a
pearl you're in luck. Now it is
proposed to beat the oyster at
his own game by turning an
X-ray machine loose upon him.
# he hasn't a pearl it saves
opening him, and then he may
do better next time.
