OYSTERS FORCED TO WORK
Japanese Scientist Conceives Idea o.
Teaching" Bivalves to Pro-
duce Pearls.

The Japanese conduct great oyster
farms where the bivalves are taught"
to make pearls. 1t was Doctor Mkt
motto, a well-known scientist. who
conceived the idea that oysters might
be educated and made to work for man.
After many years of costly expert
ntsntation he discovered the method In
use today.
The farm has an area Of about 80
square miles and the water varies in
depth from to 10 fathoms. The firm
er selects the spots where the larvae
OF oysters are most numerous and then
he plants small rocks and stones.
These are soon covered with oyster
spat. They are then removed and
placed in special beds, where they lie
undisturbed UNTIL the third year.
1t is said that an oyster VIII not pro-
duce pearl unless 1t be irritated by
some foreign substance. AS soon as 1t
feels this 1t proceeds to cover 1t with
nacre, layer on layer, until after few
years it has made pearl. When large
enough the oysters ar& taken from
their beds and carefully opaaed; tiny
speck of some foreign substance Is in
troduced into their bodies, and they
are replaced in the sea. BY the end OF
from three to five years the oyster has
coated the foreign substance with
nacre and this has become a pearl.

FortymiIe Gold District, Alaska.

The earliest placer mining In the
Alaskan part of the Yukon basin was
done on the bars of Fortymile river in
1886, and during the next two years
hundreds Of miners came to the scene
of the discovery. This event opened
up inland Alaska and led to the dis
covery of the famous Klondike placers,
on the Canadian side Of the boundary,
some ten years later. Over 5000, 0OO,-
600 worth Of gold has been taken out
of the Klondike and the Alaska
Yukon placer camps in the 80 years
since Fortymile was discovered. OF
this about $6.5OO,OOO worth of gold
has come from the Fortymile district
This district is described In report

Vaccinations of peace parties Madison, who was Pres-
dent during the war of 1872 was driven nearly to dis

undermine the administrations efforts while Lincons great
burden made UNNECESSARILY heavier and he was per-
sonay saddened by what he had contend with from the
opponents Of the war in the north Both men saw clearly
that the efforts of these agtaors gave great encouragement
to the foe and prolonged the whole dreadful business Of
war; yet neither could do much to stop them. Lincoln did
send Vaandingham through the lines into the Confed-
eyaey, which he had served so well from seat in the
House of Representatives but that only after the
Ohio Representative had done immense amount of harm
to the Union cause.
At the first sign of frmness in handling these people they
set up cry of coercion of suppression of the right of free
