 In his talk, MT.

 He also said that the Rotary club Is not an organization which was founded for the purpose of reforming the world but it is one of the many associations to help do that sort of work. The speaker added that the members of the club should be taught to look upon their business and professions as serving their fel- low men rather than as money making scheme.
 In closing his address, Mr. Adams said that Rotarians should practice what they preach and in outside life, in private affairs they should do things only as they would do them in Rotary with the real Rotary spirit. He said that the outside world judges the International Rotary organization by the way each member conducts himself.

pearls are nothing but diseased

pearls are nothing but diseased
pearls.
1t is this discovery upon which
Senior Barsanti built up his method
Of restoring dead pearls to life.
Senior Barsanti asserts that a very
salutary effect can be produced upon
a pearl whose aspect indicates the
beginning of disease by separating
the infected pearl from the string and
treating it with a soft cloth soaked
in chemically pure alcohol. The first
part Of the procedure tends to avoid
an infection of the other pearls. and
tho purpose OF the second is to de-
stroy the infectious germ. provided it
has not penetrated further than the
surface.
Innumerable are the diseases which
may attack the pearl. Some of them
penetrate the very heart Of the pearl,
and il such is the case 1t mayy have to
be diagnosed as a very advanced stage.
Others, after having been introduced
through the pores and having pierced
a few layers of the superficial matter,
will be stopped in their devastating
course through the resistance Of the

leaves are six or even eight inches in
length.
When they are long thay are simply
punched together and firmly tied with
some material, then q stick, by way
Of q handle, is pushed down the CEN
ter. In this way serviceable brooms
are rapidly made. The other plan is
to insert clusters of the smaller
needles in holes in q thickish piece OF
wood. Thase holes are filled with hot
pitch, and when this material has set
hard and dry the pine leaves are held
firmly in place. Usually they are all
of the same length, but 1t Is easy to
trim the brush after 1t has been made
Some elaborate tests have shown
that the pine needles wear very well
indeed. They are not more easily
broken than much Of the material
that has been commonly used in
broommaking. and. owing to their
hardness. they can Withstand q great
deal Of friction. 1t goes without say
ing that vast quantities of pine
needles can be collected for nothing
wherever the trees abound.

Another Substitute.

EXPERIMENTS to find a good sub
stituts for leather have been
many and various. Most Of these SUBJ
stitutes have been more or less un-
satisfactory. Not long ago. however,
there was fled in England by an in
ventor of Lucerne. Switzerland, a pat
ent in this relation. 1t appears that
this inventor has devoted himself for
a good mnay years to the effort to
devise a good waterproof leather sub
stitute. After a thorough study of. all
existing methods he came to the con-
clusion that, without the use of ami
NAL tissues. 1t Is impossible to obtain
any good waterproof composition.
He has. it appears. succeeded in pro-
ducing a composition which. on test,
has been found to be fully equal to
leather; it is waterproof. flexible and
durable. and corresponds to all the
requirements made Of it. Use Is made

diseases. to which the pearls are sab.
ject, according to degrees. From the
first to the fifth degree, which in-
cludes those infirmities which have
affected the pearl in a more or less
superficial manner, the cure will be

the case of other degrees, where thu
disease has penetrated to the heart
an improvement will be accomplished
except in those advanced stages
where the putrefaction is complete

Curing Diseased Pearls.

EVER since the remote days Of Cleo
patra scientists in all parts Of
the world have studied the problem
Of how to restore the original luster
to pearls which, through some mys-
terious influence, have lost 1t. FL
,, nally it fell to the luck and genius
Of an ArgentiniAn writer and inven-
tor to evolve a method Of curing dis
eased oriental pearls.
Senior Arnaldo Barsanti, who hix
weeks ago came to this country from
Buenos Aires, gave a series Of demon
strations in the presence Of experts
who had the opportunity Of seeing
tho jewels prior to and after the
electrochemical treatment to which
the patients were subjected by the
inventor.
After many years Of studious appli-
cation and experimenting Senior Bar
santi arrived at the conclusion that
we have to look upon oriental pearls
as animated and perfectly organic be-
ings, and that those which have lost
their color and luster and which for
this reason are classified as dead

colors can be applied. By means of
a special process (fulling and tan
ming with vegetable tanning ma
terials). they are SO prepared that
they become perfectly plant and

smooth pieces of bladder are, by
means of a suitable adhesive sub
