pl oduce pearls.
This is particularly true OF the
very ancient Ceylon beds, which are
the worlds chief producers of pure
pearls. The disease mentioned is
caused by a tiny parasite, a little
worm, which attaches itself to the
substance of the oyster, and be-
comes the nucleus of a pearl. The
irritation it sets up causes the oyster
to secrete an extra large amount OF
the same pearly fluid substance
which coats the inside of its she'll
with the beautiful and valuable
iridescent lining called Mother of
pearl" And thus a pearl is born
with the tiny parasite in its centre,
and continues to grow larger and
more valuable throughout the life of
it's oyster home, which is about
seven years.
The oysters within which the lit
tie parasite referred to starts the
growth of a true pearl are really
not oysters at all, but sort of mus
seI-not much unlike the pearl-pro-
ducing fresh water mussels found in

many American rivers. In fact,
these fresh water mussels yield
pearls that are hardly inferior to
those taken from the Oriental fish
cries. One such sold in New York
City not long ago for $4,000.
Under strict government superyi-
sion the oysters as they are brought
to the surface, after the divers have
received their one-third share, are
placed in guarded Enclosures where
merchants who have purchased them
unopened from the Government in
lots Of 1000 allow them to rot. This
takes about a week. The decaying
mass is then thoroughly sluced with
fresh water, the shell, stones and
other debris are picked out and the
residuum is spread on lengths of
black calico to dry. During this pro
cess it is sifted for the small pearls.
The mass is finally stfted the last
time through meshes which will re-
tain a pearl the size of pin head.

81, 100000 Worth of Pearls
of Good Size and Quality
Would Make Such a
Handful as This.

TOR three thousand years-and
nobody knows how much
= longer-the worlds supply OF
pearls has been CLEANED from the
[. oceans bed by the same primitive
method. A naked Oriental able TO
hold his breath" for a minute and
a half dives TO the bottom, thirty or
forty feet down--ffty feet at most
fills a small net bag with as many
pearl-bearing oysters as he can grab
IN half minute and returns to the
surface with his catch.
In thirty centuries there has been
no real improvement in this ancient
and original method of gaining the
most coveted of all jewels. Although
representatives of the richest jewel
markets of the world are always on
son, and in spite of the fact that all
the important pearl oyster banks are
under government protection and
form a government monopoly, inven-
tive genius has failed to supersede
the naked native diver.
At the Australian pearl fisheries
men equipped with the modern div
ing suits and helmets, into which air
is pumped from the surface, are
employed, but only where depths are
too great to be negotiated by the
naked Oriental, and even then with
indifferent results. Efforts to make
the diving bell useful in pearl fish
Ding have not been profitable.
All of which adds to the interest
of the announcement that American
enterprise has devised a means of
introducing machinery into the pearl
fishing industry.
The statement is cabled from
Paris-probably chief of the worlds
pearl markets - that Harry G.
Thomas, Of Portland, Me-, has per-
fected an engine-driven dredging ap-
paratus which Is capable of raising
large quantities of pearl oysters
from depths which human divers are
unable to reach. With this apparatus
loaded on sea-going steam vessel,
Mr. Thomas-so the dispatch says
is about to sail from Marseilles,
France, to dredge for pearls in the
Persian Gulf.
4 Mr. Thomas is a son of the late
: Major-General Henry G. Thomas. He
is celebrated traveller and collec.
J tor of curiosities in all parts of the
I, world. In the last thirteen years

ance Of the gambling games Of
Monte Carlo. where he has a villa.
From the accounts cabled from
Paris it appears that Mr. Thomas's
dredging apparatus is somewhat on
the lines of the machine built in
England for the purpose of recov-
ering government treasure lost off
one of the entrances to the Zuyder
Zee when the British frigate Lutine
was wrecked there in October, 1893.
Besides dredges and graphing hooks
the main feature of this apparatus
is long tube, which is lowered over

the bottom-thirty feet down-and
through which sand and everything
buried in IL is drawn aboard by
powerful suction pumps
It is understood that Mr. Thomas's
mechanism is capable Of being op-
Grated while being guided about over
a considerable area of the oceans
bed, even while the vessel from
which it is operated is in motion.
Its chief value, however, it comes
up to expectations-is its ability to
reach greater depths than divers can

all the young oysters, amounting
to quite a quarter of the stock, are

These old-established and pro

is said, to be able to explore depths

According to the authorities deal

It's operations probably are too dras-

whole colonies of oysters of all ages

have been fostered and protected for
centuries.

there were several other splendid lawyers
contesting for the position Of Judge,
