Several reasons combine to make France the most interesting country of Europe from the anthropological point of view. More is known of it in detail than of any other part of the centinent save Italy. Its surface presents the greatest div arsity of climate, soil and fertility. Its pepula- tion, consequently, is exposed to the most varied influences of environment.

At any rate, the Dutehman kedged. ‘Truly, your majesty,’’ said he, ‘‘I have not given to the subject such close atten- tion as your majesty must have done.

Aug lb neieeenen — PEARLS ANDO PEARL SHELLS. freasures That Are Taken From the En- dian Ocean and Persian Gulf, In St. Nicholas Captain H. D. Smith of the United States revenue eutter service tells of his experiences, ‘‘Hunting For Shells,’ from the island of Ceylon to the Dry Tortugas. Captain Smith says: Pearl shells are valuable, and fine spect- mens are hard to obtain. They are found iu the Treamotee, Gambier and Trihual groups of islands. The choicest come from Macussar. ‘These are the white edged shells, worth $800 a ton, and from these the finest pearl buttons are manufactured. ‘The most celebrated pear) fisheries lie near the coast of Ceylon, the Persian gulf, snd in the waters of Java and Sumatra. Whe Australian coast in the neighborhood of Shank’s bay and at Roebuck bay fur- nishes some very large sholls, some of them weighing from two to three pounds each. 'The fisheries of Baja, gulf of Cali- fornia, are very rich, France controlling the gems procured there. The meat of the pearl oyster is readily bought by the China- men, who dry the leathery little bivalves or seal them upin cans and ship them to their countrymen in San Francisco. The pearl shells readily sell upon the spot at from $1.50 to $5 per pound. Pearls and tears have for ages heen asso- ciated, and the magic virtues of the pearl were held in high esteem in early times, as they are today with the East Indians. It is said that Queen Margaret Tudor, consort of James 1V of Scotland, previous to the battle of Flodden Field, had many rresentiments of the disastrous issue of that eo: flict, owing toa dream she had three nights in succession, that jewels and sparkling coronets were suddebly turned into pearls, which the superstitious be heved were a sign of coming widowhood and ef tears, Pearls are of various colors, and in In- dia the red pearls were highly prized by the Buddhists, who used them in adorn- ing their temples. Pearls are formed to protect the shellfish. They are duc to a secretion of shelly substance around some irritating particle, and their composition is the same as that of mother of pearl.
