Now that the pearl market | of the world is seriously menaced by the threatened exhaustion of the fisheries, it is high time for human ingenuity to step in and sapply the demand. The process adopted by the French- man aforesaid, M. Pouchon-Brandely, is simply to bore holes in the shells of the pearl oyster with a gimlet, introlucing through these perforations little balls ot glass and stopping them hermetically with corks. After four weeks’ time the balls of glass are found te be covered with a thin luyer of pearl. In six months the layer has of a sufficient thickness to be permanent, and the big- ness of the jewel thus manufactured is in proportion to the period allowed to elapse. Of course this has its limitations, inasmuch as the mollusk will not deposit nacre indefinitely. its only object being to protect itself from irritation by the intruder. The expert quoted believes that pearls can be made of various colors to order by selection. This signifies selection of the mollusks employed for the purpose, Each naturally deposits its own sort of nacre. Even pear! oysters differ in that respect, producing black pears, grav pearls or pearls of pure white, sometimes accord- ing to the par: of the animal where the nucleus makes its lodgment. Conches ofa well-known variety form pink pearls, as do also certain fresh-water mussels, Supposing that there is anything in M.

Ever so many experiments have been made with a view to procuring the manu. facture of natural pearls through artifice, For thousands of years the Chinese have practiced a method of introducing for. sign objects into oysters and other pearl bearing mollusks the of coating them with the beautiful nacre which adorns the inside of some shells. Since their first trials in this line were imtiated numerous efforts have been es. sayed to improve upon them. Quite for purpose When the tidings of the splendid sue- cess ut Yorktown were brought direct from the General to his mother, she was moved to an exclamation of fervent thanksgiving: “Thank God! the war is ended, sud we shall be blessed with peace, happiness, and independence, for ut lust our country is free.” Shortly after the surrender of Cornwallis, Washington left Yorktown with a brilliant suite of Fren h and American officers, and started upon his journey to Philadelphia, stopping on the way at Fredericksburg to visit his mother. It wus nearly seven years since he had last seen her face: he left Mount Vernon in May, 1775, and did not return till the autumn of 1781. Now that the i time of meeting drew near, his mother was serene but very quiet, only smiling to herself oftener tnan usual. But it was not the hero crowned that filled her thoughts, but the son who, after vears 1 become of absence and danger, was coming back to her.
