t`aarcastic misogynist put It. The Japanese culture pearl has, until recently, defled detection, but it has now been put in its' place by an ingenious optical test devised by MM. Chilowski and Perrin. This method is based upon the fact| that light will follow a curved path between two curved surfaces placod close together, as we can see to some extent in the tiled tan- nels of London's underground.
But long before that happens the 600-fathom line will have been renched, where a fairy-like world of self-luminous plants and anim als aways to the gentle currents of the dark-green ocean depths,

The optical apparatus consists of a tiny pistón introduced into the perforation with which most pearls are provided for the pur- pose of stringing. The piston has a tiny mirror at each end. The two mirrors are at right angles to each other, and at 45 degrees to the axis of the piston."

The Growth of a Pearl...
Science, greatest of iconoclasts, has laid bare the true and rather sordid origin of Margan, "the giver of life," ne the Persians cail- ed it. A pearl is a sort of disense of the oyster, or rather, it is a defence against the unwel- come intrusion of larva of Tetrarhynchus unionifica, IL
species of fluke or tapeworm which lives alternately in seamews and Ashes of the ray family. When the larva enters the bivalve it usually lodges between the mantle and the mother-of-pearl lining of the -shell. It la promptly imprisoned. by the calcareous secretion of the molluse, and successive layers of this secretion gradually, build up that beautifully stratified "Bar- cophagus of a worm" which the superstitions of many races have endowed with the most vital and marvellous properties..
To the non-scientific beholder, all life-beauty is but skin-deep, The inner working of all life energies is beautiful in the eyes' of the carnest seeker after truth, but most of us stop at the surface of things, and demand that it shall be fair.

And, indeed, there is nothing "fairer than the surface of a pearl- of flawless skin and fine "orient." Under the microscope it shows in- numerable. delicate alignments of grains of carbonate of lime cm- bedded in a transparent matrix, and every pearl contains many hundreds of concentric layers of this finest of laces, each layer enclosing the next, like the annual rings in a tree-trunk.
Of Great Price,
It is only on rare occasions that à pearl is found to show the per- fect sphericity and lustre of the Zosima-pearl-of-Moscow, or the bulk of the great pearl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. We do not know the size of the pearl which Cleopartra dissolved in sour wine and drunk in order to impress Mark Antony, but we are told that its value £60,000:
was over
Of a thousand oysters left to rot on the shores of Manaår, only one on the average, yields a pearl of value. But, where danger and destruction of life attend the pur- suit of a thing, that thing has ever risen in value.
It is not surprising that short- er ways towards the attainment- of these treasures have been ex- plored from the carliest times. Those arch-imitators, the Chinese, attained grent ̈proficiency, in fit- ting two "button" pearls together to form a perfect sphere, and they not only inserted grains of sand' into pearl oysters in order to pro- voke the formation of a pearl, but converted tiny tin Buddhas into "miraculous", çfgies by the same process.
