Diseased Pearls.

EVER since the days of Cleopatra
- scientists have studied the prob
lem Of how to restore the original
luster to pearls which have lost 1t.
But thus far all these endeavors have
been unsuccessful.
Now comes a well known Argentin-
ian writer and inventor to tell us
about the diseases Of pearls and how
to cure them. He has recently given
a series of demonstrations which
amazed all those who had the oppor-
tunity of seeing the pearls prior to
and after the electro chemical treat
ment to which they had been subject
ed by the inventor
After many years Of experimenting
Senior Barsanti has arrived at the
conclusion that oriental pearls are
animated beings. and that those
which have lost their color and luster
and for this reason are called dead"
are nothing but diseased pearls
"Oriental pearls" says Senior Bar
santi, "are easily infected by conta-
gion with any of the human diseases,
and those most dangerous to the
pearls are the diseases of specific
character Mercury is the greatest
enemy of the pearl. A string Of
pearls whose wearers have been sub
jected to a mercury treatment is GER
tain to be infected to a point where
it will turn to the shade of lead.
Even a lack of light and air will
have a saddening effect upon pearls
and cause them to lose their color.
When this is the reason for their
change they can be restored to life
by being worn by perfectly healthy
person of either sex"
This authority asserts that pearls
whose aspect indicates the beginning
of disease may usually be restored by
treating them with a soft cloth soaked
in chemically prepared alcohol. This
destroys the infectious germ, provided
it has not penetrated further than the
surface.
He says that when disease has pene-
trated to the very heart or center Of
the pearl it is really dead.
According to his theory, the pearl
contains a mysterious sap which, like
human blood, fights to the last ditch
against any bacteria finding their
way into it's circulation.

Commissioner oyster, who transmits

pervisor of weights and measures,

In those days the harbor was filled
with craft of various kinds and the
majority of products offered for sale
at the market came up the Potomac
river by this means. Now the ship
ments of fish. oysters, etc. that are
for sale at this place are brought to
There are. however. some vessels that
still come up to the wharf.
Despite the fact that oysters have
not been SO plentiful in the past
year or SO as formerly. there were

at the market last year. Taking the

13.l63,290 pounds of oysters were de-
livered at this point last year. There
are figures also as to the number
of shucked (opened) oysters, which
give separate total Of 420.Sl6
pounds. The amount of fish that
came to the city via the market last
year was 7.766.ss4 pounds, while the
humble clam appears on the register
to the tune Of 1915 bushels.
1t is matter of common knowl-
edge that during the past year the
retail trade in fish and kindred prod
ucts has materially increased. this
fact being due. in part, perhaps tc
the bulletins that have been sent out
by the government showing the food
values in fish.
Some of the connoisseurs of Wash

market and select their fish from

this Is correct is a matter that

INSPECTION Shows Bridge
at Creek
Serious Condition

and ultimately causing the encoun-
tered difficulties. The men have
begun to open the bridge to make
the freholdres moie familiar with
the operation, but were ~unsuccess-
full in getting the bridge open.
Freebooter Quackenbush called the
attention Of the party to the rusted
condition of the bridge. 1t was
plastered here and there and fit for
the junk wagon, he pointed out. "a
new bridge is urgently necessary"
asserted Mr.. Q~uackenbush, when he
listened to some proposals Of further
reconstruction of the bridge. Mr..
Schneider was of the opinion that a
new bridge of the modern lift type
would cost between $125,000 to
$4,000, at least. The repair Of the
broken concrete wall would cost
about $40 a cubic foot, estimated
the engineer, and would bring the
cost of repair t. about $4,000.
Mr.. George, of the Public Service,
seemed to favor the building of a
bridge but would not state as to how
much the Public Service would be
willing to assist in financing its
building.
The freeholders finally agreed that
the matter be left for today when
the regular meeting is to be held this
afternoon. 1t was indicated that the
members of the board were event
ually in favor of erecting a new
bridge should the Public Service
Company be willing to assist plenti-
fully in its finance.

FRANCHISE NOT
PART Of CASE
Not to be Considered in Fixing
Public Service Valuation
in Fare Fight

NEWARK, Feb. 15-In fixing a
valuation of the Public Service
Railway Company's property for the
purpose of determining a trolley
fare rate, the value of franchises
received by the trolley company aad
its underlying companies from Jer-
sey municipalities will not be con-
sidered.
Former Judge Thomas c. Haight.

pany's application for increased
fares ,intimated this conclusion yes
terday when he directed Frank Fl.
Sommer. special counsel for New
ark. and other municipalities. rC re-
frsin from arguing the point. Judge
Haight, in asking Mr.. Scmmer 20
refrain, said he believed that fran
chise value should not be taken into
consideration.
1t appeared that the special mas
ter agreed with Mr., Sommer's co.,
tention that rates depend upon
granting of franchises or privileges
to do business, and that these priv
ileges are granted to the company
by the people and that their value
should not be charged TO the pee
pie in the fixing of a rate
Mr. Sommer held the Federal
Cour- is not sitting in review Of the
taken by the Public Utility
Commission upon evidence before u,
but rather for the purpose of de-
termining, under evidence adduced
before the former tribunal, whether
not the action of the utility body
results in confscation.
Addressing himself to the cues
tior Of contlscation, Mr.. Sorlmer
held that it is the only question
before the court. He declared that
a rate might be both unjust and I'M
reasonable and still not be confs-
catory.
L. Edward Hermann, special
counsel for the Public Utility Com
mission was on for a short time,
when he found 1t necessary to cave.
will continue when Mr.. Sommsr
has closed his argument. Mr.. Herr
mann opposed the practice of in
Guiding going value in the rate
making valuation and cited a num-
Der of cases justifying his conten-
ton.

s, it having been stolen from in
front of the Goldsmith home on

1t is a general custom for the

A thorough inspection Of the
Woodbridge creek bridge was made
yesterday afternoon by members of
the Board of F~reeholders and County
Engineer Frederick c. Schneider. E.
H. Allen, supervisor of bridges, and
Howard George, engineer of mainte-
nance, both representing the Public
Service Railway Company, accompa-
MED the member of the board on
their investigation of the obsolete
bridge.
The men operating the bridge re-
ported to the party of inspectors that
the bridge has not been functioning
for the last three days. They de-
clared that last Sunday and Monday
special efforts were made by a crew
of five and later six men to open the
bridge to allow a boat of the Barber
Asphalt Company pass, but without
avail. The craft had to return to its
dock awaiting the call whe. the
bridge will be opened. The men also
stated that their first trouble with
the bridge was noted on June 5,
1922, and the following day. The
centerpin of the bridge vas out of
commission ever since. Still greater
difficulties were encountered at low
tide. The high tide at times easied
the difficulties in moving the bridge.
Headed by Engineer Schneider,
the party was directed to look at the
conditions of the bridge beneath. 1t
was found that the concrete wall on
the Sewaren side was split in half,
thus jamming against the bridge
