JEWELS FROM BLAY SCALES
This Much Known Of the Secret of
the Creation of Artificial
Pearls.

As the real pearl comes from the
oyster, so to a large extent is the
manufacture of artificial pearls de-
pendent on a certain species of fish
The complete processes are of course
trade secrets, but IL is OF interest to
note that 1t is from the brilliant
scales of the ablet, or blay. that es-
sence d'Orient is produced and 1t is
with this essence that imitation pearls
are manufactured
The blay is described as "a small
fish with green back and q white
belly" and the essence is obtained
exclusively from the white scales,
which are covered with a pigment of
metallic appearance.
They are first treated with am
monia and then with fish glue. pow

In the early stages of manufacture,
about 1865. this essence d'Orient was
applied to little balls OF plaster. bas

San Francisco, Sept. 2-Charles
of American sculptors, has been Sc
lected to model a heroic statue, the
Pioneer Mother, which is to be the
central exhibit of the fine arts depart
ment of the Panama-Pacific exposition.
The design will idealize the spirit of
the brave women who first crossed the
plains to the western shores of Ameri-
ca. At the close of the exposition the
monument will be presented by the
Pioneer Mother Monument association
of California to the CITY of San Fran
cisco and will probably be installed per-
manently in the new civic center of
the city.
The sculptor's first conception of
this memorial is that it will consist Of
a heroic group with a central symbolic
figure of a woman, and children, typi-
flying the future. The past with all
its wealth of romance and the present
with its happy fruition from the seeds
planted by the pioneer mother will be
represented by sculpture panels placed
as inserts on the pedestal. It is ex-
pected that when completed the de-
sign will be one of the most important
and artistic pieces of monumental
sculpture in the United States, fulfilling
the ideals of the monument associa-
ton and of the sculptor as a fitting
memorial 10 those brave women who,
in early days, endured both privation
and hardship in reaching California
and IN the American settlement and
civilization Of the state.
