settled regarding the status OF this
German pearl. 1t is an imitation and
claims to be nothing else. But, if il is
so good that all but experts are de-
ceived, and if it can be sold for one
fifth the price Of other imitation pearls
as the manufacturer announces, may
there not be q demand for this cheap
article 10 the detriment of trade in
other pearls. both real and imitation?
Dealers fear that there may. So the
pearl business is still disturbed.
The German pearl maker, Herr
Heinz, is known as an expert in i'm
itation gems He used to claim that
he could produce a beautiful imitation
of any gem except the pearl. That, he
admitted. was the most difficult to i'm
itate, but still ne experimental with
formulas, until at last he has hit upon
| a satisfactory one. His formula is re-
ported as a mixture of fish lime, wax,
and silver nitrate in molten glass.
Blown glass pearls are far from new.
A preparation made from the scales
of the bleak fish has long been used
to coat the inside surface of glass to
| make pearl beads This fish skin sub
stance contains brilliant Colors and
gives to the glass the creamy, Opales-
cent tint of the pearl.
Wax is generally used to fill the hol-
/ low inside the glass bead to make it
! resemble the solid structure of a pearl.
! But the surface has CLASSY shine,
| and the bead is slightly lighter in
| weight than real pearl. Glass beads
! have, therefore. always been readily
! distinGuishable from real pearls to any
! practiced eye.
Apparently, Herr Heinz has imprOv-
! cd on this product. 1t i announced
! that the blowing of his new glass pearls
! is a difficult art. Heinz says the the

The result of this challenge to the

| Whether the much discussed Jai
! anese pearl will stay where the deal
ers want it, plainly classified as &

| Mr.. Kokichi AIikimoto, the owner o.

sold his goods as cultured pearl. In
one Of his catalogues, he described
the presses by which he induces the
oysters on his farm to make pearls.

Making Pearls Cheap
By FREDERICK J. HASkIN

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. %,
The true pearl, formed by the wild
oyster, is having a hard time com
peting with the les aristocratic pearls. !
First. the Japanese produced a cul-
tured pearl that differs from a true
pearl only in one respect. In the wild
musseI the pearl is the result of an
irritation, generally a bit of sand or
a parasitic worm, which accidentlly
gets inside the shell In the cultured
pearl. the irritating substance is i'm
planted.
After years of experiment a Jap
anese succeeded in so introducing this
irritant that the patient oyster would
build as perfect a pearl round It as
if the irritant had accidentally slipped
in.
This has raised the question: is a
cultured pearl of this sort entitled
to the same distinction as the wild
pearl? Are pearls grown on are farm
like so many berries and harvested
when ripe to be compared with the
pearl for which the diver risks his
life in shark infested waters? Gem
dealers, gathered recently in London,
shouted no.
Because the ingenuity of Jap
anese scientist led him TO produce
pearls by putting oysters to work on
a farm, he was nevertheless a man
ufacturer, they claimed. It was
agreed that the true pearl is the work
of nature unassisted and that pearl
1 ing should remain a business of haz-
ard and not q truck-farm process.
/ The meeting decided that while
cultured pearls might look just like
true pearls-which not all the eX
! perts would admit-still, they were
not to be officially regared as true
pearls. French dealers went home and
issued a warning in French paper
/ that merchants selling cultured pearls
under the title of fine pearls would

Tuataru Lizerd Has No
Relatives in This Age

A small, rocky island off the coast
Of New Zealand is the only home Of
the tuatara lizard, queer little crea-
ture that is regarded by naturahsts
as survival of an earlier age in the
worlds history. The tuatara has a
primitive bodily structure and extra
ordinarily sluggish habits. 1t appears
to have no kindred in the world to-
day. but the remains of similar crea-
lures have been found in the fossil
rocks.
Experts consider that the survival
Of the tuatara on Steven Island is
AZ ali interested unless he can say:
the absence of formidable natural enc
mics. The lizards have lived there
for countless ages.

paper clippings from various cities,
citing accidents resulting from the
operation of one-man cars, chron-
icing accidental death and serious
injury as the result of collisions
and other accidents Mr.. DietZ OBJ
1ected to these, and John Looney,
appearing as attorney for Mr.. Nc
Caskrin, Immediately demanded
that the Tri-City Railway company
be forced to present books from
which the figures were taken on
which the company bases its claim
that economic retrenchment de-
mands the installation of one-man
cars. The demand for inspection
OF the company's books brought
forth considerable discussion OF the
point
Statement was made that the
company's books were subject to
investigation by the commerce COM
mission, and Mr.. Looney demanded
that as the company's figures were
evidence in the case it should be
forced to support this evidence by
the presentation of the books from
which the figures were taken, and
| that the books be made accessible
for public examination as other
evidence introduced. He claimed
that there had been agreement to
this effect at the hearing held in

conflicting statements on this point,
but Assistant Commissioner Clark
announced that IL such an agree
ment had been reached the records
would show 1t, and the matter Of
public examination of the com
pany's books may be taken up
when the hearing is next resumed
Examination of the books was
declared by Representative Nc
Caskrin to be an important one, as
the company laid stress on the
point that economy demanded the
use of one-man cars. and that it
should be made to prove this point
He also declared that effort would
be made to prove from what source
i came the earnings to pay Z per

stock.
