A foolhardy undertaking ended in dis-aster and death the other day at San Frau-cisc-o. A commission merchant of that city purchased some time ago the schooner Neva, eighteen ?,r tons burden, ft- - V. with the intention & of sending her ki N to the Tahitian R' Z lis islands for trad- - Xf il Ing purposes. As jF. ,y the vessel had uiiffiSil never been on the PPT high spas, and her jffflJ ' A1 iVwL rail, when a cargo (yiyLijJps was aboard, stood afjSSSrW? only about eight-- - een inches above "Ov"rVy j" water, consider- - ' able difficulty was crT. wextwouth, encountered in finding a man willing to take the chances of navigating her to Papeete. Finally a bargain was closed with Capt Thomas H. Wentworth, a mariner of many years' experience, who agreed for 8400 to risk the dangerous voyage with a crew of one nian. Two hours after leav-ing port the Neva came back with only the sailor on board. The first touch of the ocean's powerful waves had rendered the schooner unmanageable and swept Capt. Wentworth from the deck. His body was not recovered and the Neva will not be sent out again upon the almost impossible louruev. rfSE? aity in the inventU. fooda and drinks in readiness wturn of the days of feasting. Aether there is any foundation for this toference is not positively known, but the fact remains that the clergy, from whatever cause, are capital inventors of ail sorts of comestibles. One of the largest oyster parks in the country was started by Abbe Bonnetard "r9, f La Te6te' whose 8yste of artificial cultivation is so successful that of the number of oysters distributed throughout Franco every year perhaps a quarter are produced by the abbe. Canon Agen was the discoverer of the terrines of Nerac. The rillettes of Tours are the work of a monk of Marmoutiers. The renowned Uqueurs Chartreuse, Trappistine, Bene-dictine and others, betray their monastio origin in their names, and the strangest part of their production is that they should be the work of the most severe and ascetic of religious bodies. The elixir of Garus is the invention of the Abbe Garus. The Beziers sausages were first prepared under the direction of the Prior Larnoureux. The popular Bergougnoux sauce was first mingled by the Abbe Bergougnoux. The delicate Floguard cakes are the invention of the Abbe Floguard. Even the immortal glory of the discovery of champagne is attributed to a monk. To these may be added the innumerable delicacies in bonbons, confectionery and the like, which owe their origin entirely to nuns in the French convents scattered through-out the land. Paris Cor.

THE DIVEBS WHO 6ATHEE PEAELS Where They Are Found liability to De-cayInteresting Facts About the Businessi f To picture the sedate and matter of fact oyster as rising to the surface of the ocean to drink in the dew of heaven may well be regarded as a stretch of the worthy of the most fanciful weaver of romances. Yet such was stated hy early writers to be the origin of the pearl, that gem which is deemed worthy to deck the brow of royalty, which adorns fair women, which is the delight of the treasure hunter and which in all ages has been of beauty, parity and worth. This pretty conceit, however, is brushed away by the stern realities of sober fact. The keen eye of science has discovered that the birth of a pearl is anything but i poetical affair. It is due to an acci-dent, and to one of those provisions of nature by which every living creature resists for foreign attack and seeks to protect itself from injury. The oyster pearl springs into existence in two diff-erent ways. The first is by the intro-dnctio- n into the animal of a foreign subs-tance. In some unguarded moment the oyster may permit a minute grain of sand to slip into its domicile and lodge between the flesh and the shell. The (yster is powerless to expel the intrudi-ng substance, which immediately a source of irritation. There is but one remedy. The animal ')gins to cover the grain of sand with a eoat of membrane, followed by a layer of calcareous matter called nacre. This to identical with mother-of-pear- l, that beautiful lining of the shell which ref-lects all the colors of the rainbow as well as the most delicate and subtle tints. Nacre is constantly exuded from the body of the oyster, the cockle, the nautilus, the snail and other animals of the mollusk order, and forms their outer covering, hard or soft, thick or thin, ac-cording to the protection demanded by their surroundings. Around the intrudi-ng grain of sand which has been ment-ioned accumulate alternate layers of membrane and nacre until a pearl is formed. THE MOST VALUED OEMS. These pearl3, however, are not the valuable gems of commerce, because, in the first place, they preserve the form of the grain of sand, and hence are irregul-ar in shape, and in the second place, they frequently adhere to the shell and consequently present one rough side. The perfect pearl is found loose in the interior of the fish, and has its beginning in an animal germ. The oyster annua-lly produces a number of eggs, which, as soon as they develop into diminutive animals, are thrown out of the mother. Occasionally, however an egg proves abortive and remains behind. It is almost microscopic in size, and is inclosed in a tiny capsule, This capsule now becomes to all intents and purposes a foreign subs-tance. But it has certain powers akin to those of the present, one of which is that of manufacturing, throwing out and gathering around itself nacre. The nacre completely envelops it, and the genu of the animal is soon incased in a beautiful prison, usually spherical in form, but sometimes pear shaped. This is the true pearl. Tho most famous pearl fisheries in the world are near the coasts of Ceylon, Japan, Java and Sumatra and in the Persian gulf, although pearls in limited quantities are obtained in the streams of various countries. ' HOW THE DIVERS WORK. Before the divers begin their work there are blessings and magic spells from priests and sorcerers to drive away the sharks and bring good luck. These in-cantations are of course roundly paid for. The boats start out late at night, w that operations may begin at day-break. The divers have small instru-ments for compressing the nostrils aDd beeswax to stop the apertures in their ears. Each one holds a block of stone between his feet to aid his descent. Leaping from the boat and plunging be-neath the waves, the divers reach the bottom, where they run about swiftly na nil their bags with oysters as quick-!- " possible. When one is ready to rise he gives a signal and is drawn back "is boat by a rope. Divers cannot remain in the water ov a minute on the average, while two tonutes taxes the most expert. A very few Who have stayed under four or five urates have won great reputations for extraordinary endurance. The occupation is injurious to the uealth, as it requires a tremendous "wrant of exertion. Divers are short wed, subject to various diseases and we been known to expire suddenly BPpn reaching the surface of the water. One peculiarity of pearls is that, un-- e other precious gems, they are liable decay.

During my last visit to America I was greatly impressed with the efforts of the National Silk Culture association in Philadelphia and the various experiments brought to my notice in California in relation to this industry, so I venture to think that a few words about a most successful move-- j ment to revive the trade in England will be read with interest on your side of the Atlantio, especially by those who recognize that ladies are in the present day the real patronesses of this industry, for our gallants no longer wear, as in the Tudor days, the silken garments, velvets and brocades for which the lords of creation were then famous. The success achieved already by a little band of ladies of high degree is not only satisfactory as regards the special work itself, but is significant of what can be accomplished by a few women for the good of their country and their sex. The indifference of women to misery "out-side their own rose covered wiills"'is cer-tainly giving way to a genuine interest in all that concerns their temporal as well as spiritual welfare; and what bet-ter proof of this could be found than in the fact that one of the finest ballrooms in one of our most aristocratic squares was given up by its owners, Lord and Lady Egerton, of Tatton, in the first blush of the London season, to a display of the artistio products of British silk looms, in the hope of encouraging this Important native industry and raising the standard of Engliuh taste? The exhibition was the result of the untiring efforts made under the leader-ship of the popular Princess Mary Ade-laide, Ducheas of Teck. A ladies' com-mittee was formed of which her royal highness was the president, and the Duchess of Abercorn, the Marchioness of Lothian, the Marchioness of London-derry, the Countess of Zetland, the Countess Spencer ,the Countess of Wharn-cliff- e, the Countess of Eoseberry, the Countess of Latham, Lady Arthur Hill, Baroness Burdett-Coutt- s, Lady Knuts-for- d, Lady Rothschild, Lady Wantage, Lady Egerton of Tatton (honorary sec-retary) and the Hon. Mrs. Percy Mit-for-d have really been unremitting in their labors. The opening day was a notable one; the Princess Mary and her beautiful daughter, Princess Victoria, were there to do the honors to the Princess of Wales and her daughters, the Duchess of Edin- - EMILY FATHFULL. burgh, Duchess of Fife and the flower of the English aristocracy. Nor did it end there. Every day the exhibition remained open one or more of the ladies who have done such good service on the committee have been present in a similar capacity. In the preface to the catalogue which the committee published the Countess of Latham dwelt on "the inexorable will of fashion," and deplored that "it had set ita seal on French fabrics." The critics who examined the silk fabrics displayed at Lady Egerton's felt bound to acknowledge that the English made goods, for beauty of design and excellence of material, held their own, not only for furniture, but in the more dainty kinds of silks. The question is not one without interest to the American public, for I am able to state, on the au-thority of one of the leading manufac-turers, that avast quantity of British silk is now bought there. With regard to England it is, indeed, a most important question. In 1828 the silk weaving center of Spitalfields pos-sessed 35,000 looms and found employ-ment for 63,000 workpeople; now there are not more than 600 looms working and 1,100 workpeople employed, and great distress and poverty exist in this district in consequence, and if care is not taken the weavers' art will die for mere want of encouragement. Among the most interesting of the ex-hibits at St. James's square is a loom making brocaded dress silk under the charge of George Clarke, the head wear-er, who won the first prize in 1888 given by the, Worshipful Weavers' company. Some of the brocade which he was mak-ing had no less than twelve colors in it. The warp of the loom contained 190,690 threads, through which the shuttle passed 8,280 times in one yard of work. This exquisite brocade has a ground-work of softest dove pink, which, by the way, is not counted in the twelve colors of the brocade. There is also a lovely fabric with a fawn ground, and a design of birds and flowers which is often used for paneling. Another fabric is a beau-tiful white material, with a scroll of moss green and flowers of several hues. It is sixty-thre- e inches wide, and the very best workmen can only weave half yard a day. Among the lady exhibitors may be mentioned Mrs. Ernest Eart, of the Donegal Industrial fund, who sent some embroidered covorleU and panels; Mrs. Heitland, a fan made of English mate-rials; Mrs. Danvers Taylor, a peach fig-ured satin, striped with green, 100 years old. There were several specimens of the excellent work done at the Eoyal School of Art Needlework on view, and Miss Charlotte Eobinson (home art dec-orator to her majesty) displayed an ex-quisite dinner table decoration, a screen with brocaded panels and blotters. , Ejclt Faithtcu.

Steamship races across the Atlantic are common enough more common, per-haps, than they should be but a race merely from New York to Liverpool is a small affair compared with one which took place recently between the French steamship Salazie and the English steam-ship Orizaba, which had a little trial of speed between Melbourne and Marseilles, by way of the Suez canal a total dis-tance of some 11,000 miles. The Salazie did not start from Mel-bourne until three hours after the Ori-zaba had sailed. She arrived at Ade-laide, South Australia, at about the same time. After touching at Albany, Western Australia, together the two steamers, though both made the very best possible time across the Indian ocean, saw nothing more of each other until they had entered the Red sea. Here the French steamer was found to be some distance in advance of the En-glish, although they were in plain view of each other. The Englishman gave chase, and succeeded in overhauling but not in passing the Salazie, and the latter preceded the Orizaba through the canal. The Orizaba and the Salazie kept quite near together throughout .the journey through the Mediterranean. The "race" was not really a long struggle, covering the distance of more than ten thousand miles between Melbourne and Marseilles, but rather a "brush" for precedence in the Suez canal. The great ocean going steamers often journey very near to-gether on long voyages. Youth's Com-panion. ' Illuminated. One by one the mysteries of the animal world are yielding before the investiga-tions of naturalists. Some very curious information is given in a recent issue of a French scientific periodical regarding microbes that have the faculty of being self luminous. One moonlight night a spot of greenish light was noticed on the seashore. On closer examination the light proved to come from within a crustacean of the genus talitrus or sand flea. The entire talitre, including the antennas, was phos-phorescent. Only tho eyes were dark spots in the luminous figure. He was proceeding more slowly than is natural to that species over the sand. Other similarly illuminated talitres were sought for, but his seemed to be a unique distinction. The next day one of his claws was examined under a micro-scope. It was full of a singular kind of bacteria, luminous microbes. These luminous microbes appear on the surface of the sea, in the sand of the seashore, sometimes on meat and in salt water fish. Just what their phosphorescence is due to is not clearly understood. Other talitres were inoculated wiSi the bacteria. In less than three days they shone with a white light. They re-mained in this state from three to six days, apparently not greatly inconven-ienced by the presence of the microbes. Then came a motionless state, which lasted three or four days, when they died, and a few hours later the fatal illu-mination faded. Youth's Companion. The Way ia the Province. While in Canada recently I went into a candy store to make a purchase, and, as I had always done at home, sampled some of the varieties piled on the counter. And what do you think I found? Cayenne pepper! At first I supposed it was some candy made for April fool's day, but when I sampled two other piles which looked tempting, and from which, had they pleased me, I should have purchased, I found that cayenne pepper was in each piece. "In order to stop customers eat-ing candy they don't pay for," said my companion. I tell you I was mad; and when I thought of the way in this country, where one is asked to sample everything unknown before buying, I told the clerk I didn't want the cara-mels. New York Tribune.
