Mr. Mikinoto’s oyster farm in the Bay of Ago, off the coast of Japan, is one cf the few successful attempts at the deliberate production of pearls. Mikinoto spent several years in costly experiments before lie perfected his scheme. Then he secured government pat nits and, accoruing to Popular Me chanics, i':\s :;ucceeded in getting his “farm” cu a paying basis. He first makes a bed for his crop in the shal lows of the bay, where the larvae of the pearl oyster abound during the months of July aad August. He merely deposits a large number of small stones, to which the oyster spat naturally attach themselves. Then his diving women transplant the young oysters to deeper v>'aters to pro tect them from the cold. Ilere they lie on carefully prepared beds until in their third year they be come full grown, and have firmly at tached themselves to the stones by means of “necks” which they secrete. At this time the diving women bring the molluKks to the surface and they undergo an operation. A small seed pearl is introduced into the center of the shell. Then the oysters are re planted in the bed and left alone for four years. Wh9u they are again brought to the surface it is found that the seed pearl nucleus has been covered with many layers of the nacre, a secretion of the mollusk, and the large, brilliant trans lucent pearl of commerce has been formed. But the process Is not as simple as it appears. During the seven years that the farmer must wait for his crop to mature a large percentage of the oysters die. The oyster beds are raided by such enemies as the octopus and the starfish. Occasionally the “red current” sweeps over them and in a day de stroys the entire crop. At all times the farmer must keep his oyster bed free of “miruno,” a seaweed which will smother the crop. Women divers trained from girl hood to long immersions In the sea are engaged at 20 cents a day to care for the farm. In this w’ork they wear nothing but a head cloth, a white shirt and diving goggles. At each dive they can gather several oysters and return to the surface. A dive occupies about one minute, and a day’s work is from four to six hours. An expert can readily gather 500 oysters a day in a depth of water ranging from two to six fathoms. To keep at the work for a day they must frequently come up. and w^arm them- eelves at a fire.

Race UamblingDies Hard. Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot. The race-track gamblers in New York are movTng on Albany with a bill that is designed as an entering wedge for the restoration of one of the most insidious and vicious forms of gamb ling that was ever popular in this country, and which was ended in New York State during the governoship of Charles E. Hughes under the lead ership of that wise, learned and cour ageous gentleman. The bill, which is about to be pre sented to the legislature at Albany, prososes to relieve directors and offi cers of race-track associations from liability to prosecution for violations of the.law in the recording of bets by third persons. The agreement used in support of this measure is the familiar one that unless race-track gambling is permitted the breeding and development of thoroughbred horses will entirely cease in the United States. ..

The Atlantic ocean, which this yeai has robbed the mercantile marine ol its proudest and largest vessel, has in turn been conquered by a compara tively small boat, and one driven by motor power at that. A few days ago Captain Day arrived at Queenstown in command of the mo tor launch Detroit, in which he jour neyed from New York. This little vessel, only 25 feet in length, crossed tho vast Atlantic in twenty-four days, having covered 2,SOD miles and en countered stormy, cold weather the greater part of the journey. The Detroit, however, is by no means the first small vessel to master the Atlantic. Last summer Captain Day, in command of the Seabird, a 28-foot yawl, crossed from Rhode Island to Gibraltar. In 1907 the Cath erine. also a yawl, voyaged from Liv erpool to New York. In the early part of this year Bis men in a 65-foot motor boat sailed from Wej’mouth, England, to Pernam buco, Brazil, a journey of 4,500 miles. —Answ'ers. Maupassant's Friend.

Among her fervent admirers w'as a prince, the younger son to a great name. He paid assiduous court to her and finally asked her hand in mar riage. But “the unknown” renounced the prince to remain faithful to her great romancer. She was, it Is said, the inspirer of his romance “Notr« CoeuT,” and he found in her the hero ine of this masterpiece. And now, “the unknown” will turn her recollec tions Into coin by her book “Guy de Maupassant Intime,” which will doubt less be Bufflciently highly flavored to meet the Parisian taste.

We are all accustomed to see a pat- anted article marked “iPatented,” with the date of the patent. It is doubtful, however, whether one in a hundred, or In five hundred, who notices the mark realizes its Importance to the patentee. The statute on the subject makes it the duty of all patentees or thoBO holding under or making the patented article for them to apply the j mark “Patented,” together with the j lay and year the patent was granted, 1 and the same statute provides as a penalty for not marking that “in au. lult for Infringement by the party (ailing to so mark no damages shall recovered by the plaintiff, except >n proof that the defendant was duly aotlfled of the Infringement, and con- dnued, after such notice, to make, use )r vend the article so patented.”— Scientific American.

It la calculated that in the depths ol the sea, under 6,000 meters of water, there is a stratum of powder so infin itely fine that, were it broken in the fingers, it would penetrate the porea of the skin, this powder being made up of the remains of shells and the skel etons of little animals and plants. Each eubic centimeter of slime (ox mud) that covers the bottom of the ocean contains the remains of ten thousand millions of organisms, each one of which is structurally as indi vidual as the human body.

' A lady difltingui&hed as a society leader in New York recently made an extensive motor to\ir through France, and on her return to America she was asked how she enjoyed the trip. After recounting other pleasures she said, “But my most delightful experience was hearing the French ‘pheasants' sing the ‘Mayonnaise’!” By a process of ceduction the es^ teemed New York Sun has got it figur ed out that \Tr. Uryan is certain to go into the Cabinet, it says Mr. Bryan has made no speaking engagements which would demand any of his time after March 4. Come to think of it, there could hardly be a better sign. One may be certain that some matter of great moment is impending, when Mr. Bryan concludes not to make any more speaking dates for a spell.— Greensboro News. Controlled by the Stand ard Oil Con.pany. The direct ard specific charge that Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher and other high officials of the government are controlled by the standard Oil company is made in a re markable brief filed with the house committee on Indian affairs by the Uncle Sam Oil company, the independ ent corporation which has appealed to congress for validation ^f oil and gas leases negotiated with a council of the Osage Indians in Oklahoma.
