Pearl Making.

The growing scarcity of per.
feet pearls has induced the Jap,
anese at many of their pearl fish
cries to adopt 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 SUBJ
stances which get into the
oysters shell and are a source Of
irritation to the little animal in.
side. He cannot turn out the
intruding substance, so proceeds
to cover it up with layers of lin
ing material, until at length the
object is encased and a round or
pear shaped pearl is formed.
The japanese are trying the
forcible introduction of foreign
substances into the oyster shells.
They place live oysters before a
fire, the heat of which induces
them to slightly open their jaws;
then very tiny piece of wood
is inserted with a little carbon
ate of lime. They are then
placed once more in the oyster
beds, and it is calculated that in
about IL months the oyster will
make a pearl out of the sub
stance introduced.
The result of the experiment is
awaited with keen interest, as.
owing to their comparative
scarcity, pearls are now amongst
the most valuable of precious
stones, very large sums being
paid for especially fine pear
shaped stones.

the Roads of Paraguay.
The roads of Paraguay are about five
yards wide throughout, and the trees
meet overhead at a height of some
eighteen feet thus forming tunnel Of
very uniform dimensions. In the clear
parts of the tunnel-that is, where It.
is not choked up with the giant net
tle-it is full from roof to ground Of
enormous spiders webs stretching
clear across the road, the big trees
usually being chosen as anchorages
and the total clear span being thus
more like eight yards than FIVE.
The main cables or framework Of
the nets are composed of FIVE or six
strands of thick yellow web and are
almost as strong as cotton thread. The
rest of the net is made up Of single and
double strands Of the same stout ma
terial. which is as sticky as it is strong.
Every yard or so one of these nets ex-
tends across ones path, making it nee.
essary to hold a cutlass or a fairly
stout stick at arms length In front as
one walks.

picturesque distractions are large.

with bodies that look as If they were
about to explode. they are so blown
out and glossy.
At intervals in some more open space
where the sky is visible one will no
tice a different kind of web. far more
irregular in shape, but far larger than
the others. Not content with the
space available in the tunnel, these
webs are stretched In complicated
maZes from the ground to the very
tops of the surrounding trees, with
clear spans frequently twenty or thirty
yards from one tree to another.
From these main cables smaller ones
extend to the ground-a drop Of fifteen
or twenty yards-and the spaces in be-
tween are filled up with mass of
webs spun in all directions. - Wide
