Teaching Oysters to Make Pearls.

From London Tit-Bits.
The growing scarcity OF perfect pearls
has induced the Japanese at many OF
their pearl fisheries to adopt a somewhat
novel plan, which. If It succeeds. should
tend to increase enormously the worlds
pearl output.
Pearls are formed by little grains OF
sand and other substances which get into
the oysters shell and are source OF.
Irritation to the little animal inside He
cannot turn out the intruding substance.
and proceeds to cover it up with layers OF
lining material. until at length the object
is encased and round or pear-shaped
pearl is formed.
The Japanese are trying the forcible in
PRODUCTION of foreign substances into the
oyster shells. They place live oysters be-
fore fire, the heat OF which induces them
to slightly open their jaws: then a very
tiny piece OF wood is inserted with little
carbonate of lime. They are then placed
once more in the oyster beds, and ii Is
calculated that in about twelve months
the oyster will make a pearl out of the
substance introduced.
The result of the experiment is awaited
with keen interest, as, owing to their
comparative. scarcity, pearls are now
among the most valuable of precious
stones, very large sums being paid for the
fine pear-shaped stones.

Chatterer Is Sure That This Is
His Last Day.

There was no hope, not the teeniest,.
weeniest ray OF hope, in the heart OF
Chatterer the Red Squirrel, as Farmer
Browns boy picked up the wire rat trap
in which Chatterer was a prisoner and
started for the house, Black Pussy, the
cat, following at his heels and looking
up at Chatterer with cruel, hungry eyes.
Chatterer took a farewell look at the
Old Orchard. and way beyond 1t the
Green Forest, from which he had been
driven by fear of Shadow the Weasel.
Then the door of the farmhouse closed
and Tut it all out If there had been
any hope in Chatterer's heart the closing

WHAT EUGENISTS SEEK
BY HERBERT COREY.
No. 5.

Eugenics statisticians agree that man
is pretty poor stick today.
THE death rate over forty-five is
greater than ever before" they say,
because ~ infinite pains he has been
coddled into living longer than he used
to. By the time he is forty-five his weary
constitution begins to get the bends. In
the good old days he died OF typhoid and
smallpox and other preventable diseases
before he reached this age. Nowadays

Brightss disease and cirrhosis of the

II you're an optirnist You'll say that
after all. more people are reaching mid
die life than ever before. Dean Hast
fngs of Battle Creek says that the aver
age length of life has been increased by
ten years in the past generation Fred
erick Hoffman says the expectation of
life is three to i've years greater than 1t
was few years ago. T.. f.. Rittenhouse
agrees. II you are pessimistic YOU will
say that the diseases of old age are

Fisher appeals to us through our most
vulnerable spot-our pocketbooks.
The conservation of man is profitable
he says. 1T is estimated that the value
of the nations lives ia from three to five
times as great as the value of it's physical
assets-its lands, mines, woods and waters
which would make the lives worth from
three to FIVE billion dollars .
Rittenhouse says that p per cent OF
our annual deaths are of babies under
age five. and of these 2O0C60 deaths are
from preventable causes. Pneumonia
takes $4,000. cancer 5000. typhoid $4,000,

Too Many Lazy and Careless.

Perhaps the one lesson Of immediate
value to he learned from the Battle
Creek conference for race beterment is
that too many people are dying each
year because they are lazy or careless.
Modern physicians urge their patients to
come in and be looked over periodically.
We are fairly we'll protected nowadays
against communicable disease scarlet
fe:e or and diphtheria and the like--but
We crumple up when We are attacked
from within.
Each year says T.. L. Rittenhouse.
"i0o.O0 die from chronic disease More
than 90 per cent of these deaths might
have been prevented or postponed IL the
sufferers had known their condition in
time and then adopted proper methods of
living"
II that was the most important lesson
taught by the Battle Creek gathering.
some appalling statistics of the ravages
of other diseases We're offered. Dr. s.
Adolphus Knopf. for example. reported
the annual death tax of tuberculosis in
the United States to be aOo,0G3 lives. OF
these 5000 were children. He estimated
that 1.2G0,0lN persons are now suffering
from this disease, and that the annual
cost of deaths and idleness caused by ,tu-
berculosis was not less than SDa,OO0Ooo.

Millions Allowed to Die.

Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale was in no
complimentary mood when he compiled
his recent memorial on the conservation
OF human life. He declares that 1.-THE
nation allows 100000 lives to be lost an
nually and 100000 lives to be constantly
incapacitated. The annual financial loss
which this represents Is estimated at
$S,00OoOO.Oo1" He quotes DIR. Charles
Wardeil Stiles of the marine hospital
service as declaring that ''the United
States is seven times dirtier than Ger
many and ten times as unclean as ,Switzer-
land Stiles declares that with all this
pother about race suicide Americans are
sppinely permitting 100000 lives to be
sacrificed each year to preventable causes.
