[From The Tribune Correspondent.

Paris, Nov. THE latest Partisan

ton among the owners of precious pearls.
The true Oriental pearl, more than even
the diamond. has become the criterion.

woman's social or professional triumph.
Fancy the excitement when the Syndical
Chamber Of Jewellers and Dealers in Dia-
monds, Pearls and Precious Stones was
assembled by the urgent summons of its
president, NJ Rheims, who made the fol-
lowing communication:
"A leading pearl dealer, VI. Altschueler,
has made an attempt to sell falsifed
pearls and as president of your chamber
| have lodged a complaint with the au-
tforities. The courts have ordered the
seizure Of a large pearl, and judicial In
vestigations are being made BY the
magistrate, NJ. Chesnay."
The dealer in question is one of the
most prominent pearl experts i'm Europe,
and his fortune is estimated at some two
millions Of dollars. The pearl in question
weighs S. grains 0he largest pearl in the
famous necklace which Mr. Mayer re-

The Syndical Chamber accused NJ. Alt

collodion. This. together with other
chemical treatments. 1t is alleged trans

water pearl to all appearances into
true Oriental pearl, thereby increasing
its market value from $4,000 to $4,000. NJ.
Altschueler, when questioned. stated:
Il bought the pearl from well known
dealer for $4,000. / considered that its
value might be enhanced by subjecting 1t
to treatment by a specialist. often EN-
ployed in our trade, and the treatment is
lot reprehensible, because it changes
nothing in the composition of the pearl.
The pearls are scraped and subjected to
ultraviolet rays, or simply to strong sun
light. Pearls thus gain brillancy and &C

Diminishes Weight of Pearl.

THE operation on the pearl just con-
flscated diminished it's weight by five
grains. but the orient and brillancy be-
came so extraordinary that its value is
estimated at $4,000 A travelling broker
asked me to let him have it to offer TO
some American customers. / did so with
out misgivings, but the broker took it to
the Syndical Chamber, and il was con-
fiscated. / was told that after treatment
the pearl had been covered with film OF
special varnish, but this was intended
merely as temporary measure. This
treatment is absolutely legitimate, and no
one In our trade has ever before ques-
toned it,
The specialist who treated and embel-
lished the pearl in question is a Hindu

and the process, which IS my own inven-
tion enables me TO correct the faults OF
pearls, without in the slightest degree
altering their elements or composition.
The pearls may afterward leave my
hands lighter in weight, lesser in volume
and, possibly, in another shape, but con-
tain nothing but their own inherent eie-
ments. When a pure pearl is contided

zone of the common methods employed
is called 'decraquelage' The outside skins
OF many pearls are perfectly smooth and
without flaws, while their interior skins
have slight cracks and defects. To over
come these faults, the inside of the pearl
is filled with a substance, in which fish
scale paste is one of the elements, and
which give the interior skins the perfect
appearance of the outside skin. This
enormously increases their value, but only
for a certain time. varying from six
months to three years. Eventually pearls
so treated will begin to crack and dis

tent as to reduce their value by more

CURIOUS STREET NAMES.
They Have Some Queer Ones Abroad.
 Especially In London.

HCV TIdN6 SOIUC lQcGT OHCS FAoTOdG1
 Especially In London.
 Europe is the land of queer street names. In London especial ly is there a bewildering variety. Bermondsey boasts a Pickle Her ring street. Near Gray's Inn there is to be found Cold Bath square. Most of the Nightingale lanes and Love lanes are hidden, ironically enough, in the slums of the east end of the British metropolis.
 Houndsditch, according to Stow, derives its unsavory title from the city ditch ''full of dead dogs" Formerly London possessed plenty of equally cacophonous thorough fares. Crackbrain court was in Whitechapel and Dead Mans lane adjoined Dirty lane in Southwark. King Edward street, the site of the general postoffice, was called for centuries Sinking lane. Appropri- ately enough, Cutthroat lane led out of the notorious Ratcliff high way, now civilized into St. Georges street. Hangman's lane stood near the Tower, and there was Bandy- leg alley in Fleet street; Break neck court, opposite the Old Bailey, where Goldsmith lived when he first settled in London. This has disappeared. But there is Gutter lane in Cheapside and Bleeding heart yard, familiar to readers of "Little Dorrit,'' will still be found at Hatton Garden.
 In Brussels some of the street names are downright bizarre. The Short Street of the Long Chariot, the Street of the Red Haired Wo- men and the Street of Sorrows are remarkable enough to catch the least observant eye. The Street of the One Person is, as one might guess, an extremely narrow one. But the most curious of all Brus- sels names of streets surely belongs to the Street of the Uncracked Silver Cocoanut. This, in the original, appears as one ponderous word of thirty-six letters.
 : Among the odd street names of Paris may be mentioned the Street of the Little Windows. the Street of the Mules Foot. the Street of the Holy Fathers, the Street of the Daughters of Calvary, the Street of the Dry Tree. the Street of the Empty Pocket and the Boulevard of the Good News. = New York Press.
