Pearls are not only found in oys-
ter shells, but similar pearls may
grow in vegetable matter. It is the
result of a process of crystallizing
which it takes many years to com-
plete but essentially the process is
along the line OF the sea pearl. With
in the bamboo or rattan stalk a little
cell may have been wounded. Around
it gathers silica, the fluid which gives
the glossy, CLASSY hardness to the
stalk itself. 5 this matter aecumul-
ates it forms a hard substance which
looks like an ordinary pebble on the
seashore. This pebble always Is
cloudy and milky, and only in the
hands Of an expert is it made into the
beautiful appearance Of a pearl-Ex-
change.

THE DOG STAR

Five thousand years befoer Chris
tian era, the Egyptian peasant, as he
watched each year for the happening
of the great miracle, the rising of the
Nile, noticed that its gracious waters
began 70 trickle over his parched land
just at the time that a certain glori-
Gus star appeared above the horizon.
And so inevitably did the rising of
the Nile follow upon the rising of the
star that, to the peasant, the stars
fafthfulness could only be compared
to the f~aithfulness of his dog, and
thus Sirius came to be called the Dog
Star.-Christian Science Monitor.
