terested in the follow .Dg sketch OF thS
career of the man who solved the
problem of providing seal for the
Government of the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma
ghera, Ireland, November 20, 1929, and
came to America with his three elder
brothers in 174l. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor Al

for reading and when yet young

He was afterwards teacher in the
Friends academy, at New Castle, Del
aware. From thence he went 10
Philadelphia, where he became &C.
Quainted with and obtained advice
from BENJAMIN Franklin; he soOE be-
came the intimate friend OF the
learned Philadelphia and their
friendship seemed to increase daily.
In 1872 he served as negotiator with
the Iroquois and Delaware Indians,
and his good, conscientious WORK
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname, "fruthteller,"
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was man Of rare
abilities and had the peculiar requi-
sites to make and keep friends where
ever lie happened to wander. He was
called to the responsible duty OF keep.

, first Continental Congress in 177h, and
from that time until he resigned his
Office In 17S9--thcn ffty-nine years old
he was the secretary OF that digni-
fed and important body.
John Adams called him the Sam
Adams OF Philadelphia, the life Of the
cause of liberty" This certainly was
a compliment, coming as it did from
tried and honest patriot. Thomson, 1t
10 true, made most diIigent secre-
tary, and in that position he had The
rare pleasure Of taking notes OF all
the important congressional actions
For the first years work he received
no pay. He served as permanent sec

years that followed. His seal was as-
cepted officialIy on June 20, 1882.

PEARL FISHING IN SCOTLAND
Gems Of Considerable Value Hav"
Been Found in the Rivers Of
That Country.

II is q common belief that pearl
oysters are found only in ocean beds,
and perhaps it may be a surprise to
some to learn that pearl fishing is eX-
tensively carried on in several Scot
tish rivers and If the pearls there
found are not quite so fine as those
got from the ocean, they are IN CON
siderable demand and can command
good prices. On the River Tay, 40
miles from Its mouth, quite small
trade is done in fresh water pearls,
and there the method Of procedure lS
as follows: The fisher having armed
himself with a long bamboo pole split

inches into the water so that he can

sculls along until he comes TO a clump
OF oysters (which grow with the sharp
edge upwardl, and letting down his

Though Jefferson continued deeply IN.

twenty designs were under discussion,
and four subsequent committees La

Then in 1882 a committee called 10

again incorporated the cmblcms in

practically became the basis O! our
present seal. In the shield the Stars
and Stripes appear and the eagle and

consideration Of the Irish is found IN
the two figures supporting the pro
posed design. The harp and the fleur

dered by ireland and France, and are
blazoned on a green banner. How

That the heraldic device of which
Du Simitier was the author pleased
his critics is proved by the fact that
Franklin at once withdrew his design,
Adams abandoned his and Jefferson
relegated his diagram to oblivion in
favor of the compilation offered by the
French expert. Also there were other
designs placed in evidence by dlstin-
guished cOlonists. Among them was
an emblem of Ireland, Harp" with
thirteen strings, and the motto, Majora
Minorobus Consonant, meaning THE
greater and lesser ones sound togeth-
er." The strings Of the harp were of
different lengths, yet they composed
one instrument in strong frame and
sounded in harmony. This appropri-

pilAdOn Of a Huguenot named Du

August 10, ITS. The design in ques-
ton was quite elaborate and indicated
fundamental knowledge of the laws
Cd heraldry, besides containing primal
symbolic language, and one impor-
tant element which appealed strongly
10 the Irish pride of race. The pro
posed shield carried an emblem to
represent the six great nationalities
taking part In the war for independ-
ence, or those who populated the col
onies and were earnest in the fight
for American freedom. Thus, for Eng
land appeared a rose, for Scotland a
thistle, for Ireland a harp, for France
huer-de-lyB, for Germany a black
eagle, and for the Netherlands a lion.
Du Simitier, who was the heraldic art
lst, placed Ireland third in this i'm
portAnt subdivision Of that proposed
shield for the Union, and 1t is inter
esting to note the reasons set forth
FOR this recognition Of the patriotism
OF the colonial inhabitants who came
here from Ireland:
The third Quartering, green, with a
harp of gold was to be the respected
symbol Of Ireland, and was placed
upon the shield as token to the Irish
patriots who took an active part in the
war for independence; in fact, having
brought over with them q spirit Of dis

gle Six thousand Irish came to this
country In 1923, and dispersed and
settled throughout the colonies, princi'

settlers sprang some Of the most
prominent and influential col0nists.
The musical instrument which sym
bolizes the land of Erin was an at

As early as the fifth century, the harp
was so common in Erin that hardly a
