THE CoLoRING OF PEARLS.

The substance of the inner lining OF the
oyster or mussel shells. commonly called
mother pearl, is chemically identical
with the material that constitutes the
makeup of the pearl itself, and both OF
them are evolved from the so-called
mantle OF the mollusk. According to
DR.. Wilhelm Berndt where the mantle
deposits a film of white nacre there grow
the ordinary or white pearls; and In
some mussels. where the lime deposit is
of reudish hue. there the rare rose
pearls are found Pearls of brownish-
black hue have their origin near those
parts of the mantle that are associateo
with the darker upper part OF the shell.
The Orientals are aware Of this. and they

AN ARTIFIcE OF THE CHINESE.

The Pearl Buddhas which just now
are becoming the vogue have their
origin. 50 it is said, i'm Japan. but the
Chinese undoubtedly are the pioneers in
the practice of the clever artificc which
is responsible for these lovely trinkets.
For centuries the Chinese have been
wonderfully close students of Natures
processes and while the rest Of the
world have been puZzling their heads
about the origin Of pearls, the scientists
of the Flowery Kingdom have not only
known enough of natures workings
within the pearl oyster, but they have
been ingenious enough to induce these
bivalves to do their bidding within some
limits. The Pearl Buddha of to-day is
the descendant of other Pearl Buddhas
which the clever Celestials have in
spired" for many decades.
Pearls are not "sOlidifed drops of
dew" as the poets of the Far East have
called them for centuries. They are in
stead. the glittering emblems of dis
tress. In short. they are irritating par
ticles or bodies which the mollusk has
coated with nacre in its endeavor TO
within their common habitation, the en-
veloping shells. About these intruders
the oyster or mussel deposits coating
OF mother-of-pearl TO make them smooth,
and thus. layer by layer, the beautiful
veneer grows and the gem is formed.
The chemist will. perhaps. put the facts
even less picturesquely and say that the
pearl is nothing more than "A tiny
nucleus covered with films of carbonate
of lime Alas for the purchaser. these
prOsaic facts in no way affect the price.
Very lately German scientist has as
sured us that the finest pearls are the
consequence OF an intruding wormlike
parasite which is more or less prevalent
where oysters or sea mussels abound in
some parts of the world There are two
forms OF these minute creatures. one is
the trematode worm and the other is
the cestode worm. and according TO DR..
Wilhelm Berndt, the most precious of
the pearls are those built about the ces-
tode worm by the inhospitable oyster.
In either case the resultant gem is the
bivalve's effort to make less objection
able it's unwelcome neighbor. Now let
us see how the Chinese and later the
Japanese have turned this fact to com
mercial account The Pearl Buddha is
only one expression OF their work.
