This is particularly true OF the
very ancient Ceylon beds, which are
the worlds chief producers OF pure
pearls. The disease mentioned ls
caused by a tiny parasite, little
worm, which attaches itself to the
substance Of the oyster, and be-
comes the nucleus OF pearl The
irritation 1t sets up causes the oyster
to secrete an extra large amount OF
the same pearly fluid substance

iridescent lining called Mother or

Some Very New and Curious Fashion in Paris

1t has been suggested that the i'm
portation Of dances like TIE Tango
and the Grizzly Bear are more or
less responsible for this inspiration
Of the designers.
And the colors! The woman who
wears a dark yellow skirt and light
yellow jacket does not hesitate TO
put on a tan leather belt and SOM
brero, SO that she looks as il she
had just come from the Argentine
plains-only no woman out there
ever dressed like that. They -can
hardly be called either beautiful or
graceful, for the colors are too glar-
ing and the skirts are too straight
and short to have any trace Of grace
but a very beautiful woman who
dares to wear a costume like this
and carries 1t off Is the envy Of all
her friends-as we'll as Of her enc
mics.

$1,000,OOO Worth Of Pearls
of Good Size and Quality
Would Make Such a
Handful as This

TOR three thousand years-and
nobody knows how much
u 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 minute and
half dives to the bottom, thirty or
forty feet down-fifty 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
the ground in the pearl fishery sea-
son, and in spite OF the fact that all
the important pearl oyster banks are
under government protection and
form government monopoly, iuren-
live 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
ing 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-probabl 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.. Tbomas-so the dispatch says
is about to sail from Marseilles,
France, TO dredge for pearls in the
Persian Gulf
Mr.. Thomas Is a son of the late
Major-General Henry 6. Thomas, He
is celebrated traveller and collec-
tor OF curiosities in all parts OF the
world. In the last thirteen years
he is said TO have dissipated a for
tune in this way--w!th some assist,
ance of the gambling games OF
Monte Carlo. where he has 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 2uyder
Zee when the British frigate Lutine
was wrecked there In October. 1893.
Besides dredges and graphing hooks
the main feature Of this apparatus
Is a long tube, which is lowered over

ly to contain pearls OF value. Thus
all the young oysters, amounting
TO quite quarter Of the stock, are
left undisturbed.
These old.established and pro
tected banks-for example, those OF
Ceylon. which have been flshed for
three thousand years-are especially
rich in the best quality OF pearls
for a reason discovered by biologists.
True pearls, contrary to the general
idea, are not caused by the irritation
set up by grain of sand or any
other foreign substance which finds
its way into a tender part of the
oysters organism from which il
cannot be elected. They are the re-
suit OF a disease, and the disease
being contagious the less outside

is said, to be able to explore depths

It's operations probably are too dras-

have been fostered and protected for

Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph Says Three Years of Fratricidal War Have Been Forgotten in Single Day

LONDON. April 24.-Telegrapllne from Mexico City on Thursday the cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 The three years of fratrlcidal war are forgotten in a day. The Mexican revolution has ceased and the nation is blended into q unity which seems formidable. The utmost enthusiasm and devotion for President Huerta is displayed by all classes. President Wilson's name is greeted with howls and cries of death to Americans.
 Patriotic demonstrations are un- ceasing. The Indian masses whom the revolution was driving into anarchy are now offering themselves as volun- teers and thousands of women have offered their services for active de- fense
 The concentration of troops toward Vera Cruz is beginning. All the rail- way services have been suspended and trains are being employed for the transportation of troops. The stations along the line are tumultuous encamp- ments
 The Japanese residents here are making great demonstrations with flags and lanterns. They cheered before the foreign office today when the foreign minister appeared on the balcony and addressed them upon the close union between Mexico and Japan "A painful impression was caused by the daring appearance of Mrs. Nelson 'Shaughnessy, wife of the American Charge d' Affaires at the wedding of President Huerta's son. During the ceremony Mrs. O'Shaughnessy sat inn mediately beside Senor Huerta and in the procession had the arm of the com mander of the rural guards. This morning when Mexico City awoke it was surprised to find a statue of George Washington not on it's pe- 1 destal but at the foot of the statue ot | Benito Juarez. the national hero
