HAS A PEARL FARM.
Takes Seven Years for Oyster to Pro.
duce Pearl of Commerce.

Mr. Mikinoto's oyster farm in the
Bay of Ago, off the coast of Japan, is
one of the few successful attempts at
the deliberate production of pearls.
Mlkinoto spent several years in costly
experiments before he perfected his
scheme.
Then he secured government patents
and has succeeded in getting his farm
on paying basis. He first makes a
bed for his crop in the shadows of the
bay where the larvae of the pearl oys-
ter abound during the months of July
and August.
He merely deposits a large number
OF small stones. to which the oyster
spat naturally attach themselves.
Then his diving women transplant the
young oysters to deeper waters to
protect them from the cold.
Here they lie on carefully prepared
beds until in their third year they be-
come full grown and have firmly at
taehed themselves to the stones by
means of "necks'' which they secrete.
At this time the diving women bring
the mollusks to the surface and they
Undergo an operation. A small seed
pearl is introduced into the center OF
the shell. Then the oysters are re-
planted in the bed and left alone for
four years.
When they are again brought to the
surface it is found that the seed pearl
nucleus has been covered with many
layers or nacre, secretion of the mol
iusk, and the large brilliant translu-
cent pearl of commerce has been
formed
but the process is not as simple as
IL appears. During the seven years
thdt the farmer must wait for his crop
10 mature large percentage of the
oysters die. The oyster beds are raid
ed by such enemies as the octopus and
the starfish.
Occasionally the "red current"
sweeps over them and in day
destroys the entire crop. At all times
.he farmer must keep his oyster bed
free of "miruno.'' a seaweed which

The smallest carnivorous animal in
the world is an American weasel,
which is numerous in northwest Cam
ada and Alaska and is occasionally
seen about the Great Lakes. Although
the animal turns white in the north In
winter, it does not show the black tip
ped tail which characterizes an ermine
pelt, and so it is not sought by trap
pers and fur traders. This fact. with
its small size and secretive life. has
made its habits very little known. 1t
feeds on insects, which it finds alive
in summer and in winter digs out of
rotten logs, upon small birds, etc, but
lives mainly on mice. These it can
follow into their narrowest holes and
runways. for it is scarcely larger than
field mouse itself; or. striking the
trail of one, it will trace all its wan
derings and as soon as it catches sight
of its prey it will spring after it with
amazing and fatal apidty.-Harper's
Weekly.

FOR GOOD ROADS
Daylight Run From Hutchin-
son to Kansas City.
Gov. Hodges Will Accompany
AutOists on Trip.

Flag field day for the good roads
movement in Kansas will be celebrated
next Monday by a daylight run over
the new Santa Fe trail from Hutch
inson to Kansas City. The run calls
for a 300 mile trip, leaving Hutchinson
at daylight and arriving in Kansas
City at o'clock in the evening.
Governor George H Hodges will ac-
company the party over the trail and
will probably make several short
speeches at towns along the route. A
fast schedule has been provided. Un-
der the plans announced from EN-
poria today by Mitt White, the cars
in the run will maintain a schedule
of % miles an hour including stops.
To prevent delays caused by acci-
dents, extra cars will be stationed at
Newton, Enporia and Ottawa. The
cars for the trip will be furnished by
the Buick company. q.
Requests have been made that
friends of the good roads movement
decorate their homes and business
houses with flags next Monday. AS
result of this request, Mr.. Wilhite be-
lieves that the entire route will be dec
GRATED with national colors. While the
number of cars to be used by the Off
cial good roads party is limited, it is
believed that a number of independent
cars will join in the trip and will
cover a part if not all of the distance
from Hutchinson to Kansas City. Speed
ordinances will be decorated with crepe
along the line of travel and the good
roads party expects to do some fast
running on the trip.
AT noon the party will stop for lunch
at Emporia. If schedule is maintain
ed, the party will arrive in Emporia at
noon and will leave at 1 o'clock. The
official schedule will be published some
time this week.
We expect the trip to aid greatly
in the movement for better roads in
Kansas" said Wilhite. kansas al
ready has some mighty good roads,
but we want better roads and the flag
day trip will do much to develop the
spirit for better road building in this
state"
Wilhite will go to Kansas City to-
night and cars for the run will be
sent to Hutchinson this week
