Pearls From Herrings

''French pearls" were very popular
before the war. To make these arti-
fetal pearls, the French craftsmen
obtained fish scales from the Russian
bleak fisheries, and used these shee1y
scales 10 give glass beads the luster
of pearls The war stopped the Rus
sian fishermen. and consequently
French pearl makers could no longer
work. Therefore great efforts were
made to find substitute for the Rus
sian fish scales. Now it has teen
found that the scales of certain sea
herring and shad possess a delicate
luster similar to oriental pearls. The
silvery coating is removed and from
it Essence d'Orient" or pearl essence
is made. The essence adheres like
cement and glass bead which has
been coated with it bears a passable
resemblance to a genuine pearl.

Puttinu Shad in the Hudson

Every river flowing into the Attain
, tic from the st. Lawrence down to the
St. Johns is shad river: that Is. the
shad come into the fresh waters to
spawn. The Hudson used to be one
of the famous shad rivers, but OF re-
cent years, perhaps because OF tho
sewage and oil near New York, the
fish have fallen off. This spring the
conservation commission Of New
York state has planted a million fry
in the Hudson. A million is not much
when it comes to young shad. for a
single roe, II 1t Matched 100 per cent,
would produce a tenth Of a million
fishes; but a million fry. II they all
grew up, would mean good deal to
the epieures who look TO the Hud-
son for the toothless and toothsome
shad.

Popularizina Corn

Out in Nebraska where they have
more corn than they know what to do
with, the Lincoln Crib proposes to
store away some of the surplus which
corn growers are finding so burden
some. This crib, started by the Lin
coin Chamber of Commerce, was so
successful that other cornbelt organ
izations are considering similar cribs.
Instead of being a huge storage
housa for corn this is an organization
of about half a thousand men and
women who call themselves the Corn
Eaters of America. The purpose of
the organization, which is making
rapid growth, is to direct attention
to the value and economy of corn and
it's products as food and to help re-
duce the surplus of this grain. The
only failure in connection with the
organization of the Lincoln's Crib,
according to the Chamber of Com
merce, was that there was no ban
quet room in the city large enough to
accommodate the hundreds who
wanted to join as charter members.
With the help of United States De-
partment of Agriculture food bulle-
tins and circulars, an exclusive corn
menu was planned. The first course
consisted Of cream of corn au gratin.
Corn-cake tobacco smoked in corn
cob pipes substituted for Havanas
at the end of the dinner and in be-
tween were courses Of corn-fed Neb-
raska pork loins, corn saute (hominy)
with green pepper. corn on cob, corn
bread, corn salad with pimentos,
cornstarch pudding, corn cookies, and
corn candy.
The critical corn situation was de-
picted by play in which King Corn,
too feeble to support himself, figured
as the chief character. With him
sat Queen Minnie Wheat Charac-
tiers which depicted the plight of the
corn grower were Hard Times. Hi
Taxes, Idle Labor and Speculation,
hut they finally were crowed from
the stage by High Prices and Pros
perity. A proclamation was issued
by the High Chancellor calling upon
all subjects of the King to eat corn
once day.
Members of the Lincoln Club, ap-
preciating the splendid corn prepara-
tons which had been served them at
the banquet. pledged themselves to
eat more corn and corn-fed meat and
to encourage others to do so. The
menu of corn foods combined with
the play got the message across in a
big way with the result that many
other cities have requested the same
show and plans for organizing corn
eaters cribs in other cities of the
State and of adjoining States. Pos
sibly this crib" helps account for
the large number of requests coming
from that section for Government

Time Required for Cooking Meat in
Pressure Cooker

How long and at how many pounds
pressure should various meats be
cooked in the pressure cooker?
According to the Office of Home
Economics Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, this ques-
ton is not easily answered, for many
factors influence the time of cooking.
Among these are the weight, shape,
and size of the piece to be cooked,
the amount of bone it contains, and,
most important of all, whether it IS
old and tough or young and tender.
In general a large, thick piece of
meat which is rather tough should
be cooked about Is minutes to the
pound at 5 to 20 pounds pressure.
One of the more tender cuts, how
ever, such as a leg of lamb, would
require only 10 minutes to the pound
at a pressure of Is to 20 pounds.
When meat is cut into small pieces,
as for a stew, it does not make any
difference in the time of cooking
whether the amount Of meat is
pounds or pounds. At Is to 20
pounds pressure, 80 to so minutes,
depending upon the toughness OF the
meat will be long enough to cook it.
This applies also to a chicken cut in
to pieces before it is cooked.
Overlooking is never desirable and
should be avoided when meat is
cooked in the pressure cooker Other
wise flavor and juiciness are sure to
be lost even if the meat does not
actually become hard and dry and
altogether undesirable

Wireless Wonders

Until now wireless messages have
fallen like the rain from heaven, and
anyone who had proper instrument
could reach out his cup and receive
his fill. A message intended for the
addressee is poured into the ears Of
thousands of waiting listeners, and
except for what protection a private
code provides, it is known to all the
world. And now Marconi. the ORR
ginal wireless wizard, announces
through the American Institute of
Radio Engineers his newly dis
covered method of so directing radio
waves as to concentrate them on a
desired spot: instead of the rain driv-
ing where it will. troa beast, Marconi
now forces it through an invisible
hose, as it were, and delivers his
waves on a selected object. Not
finitely to distance of 100 miles, but
the reflector used in sending serves
to catch the echo of the wave thus
hurled toward the unseen mark, and
this enables the sending operator to
determine both distance and direc-
ton. In the case of navigators seek
ing out the location of the lighthouse
which they can neither see nor hear,
this sounding" of distance through
the air will be quite as dependable
as the time honored custom of locat-
ing position in fog or darkness by
sounding bottom. With the two
methods to check against each other,
the mariner should be able to navi-
gate in fog through difficult courses
