It was Dr. Mikimo- to, a well-known scientist, who con- ceived the idea that oysters might be educated and made to work: for man... Aer many. years of costly experimentation he discovered th method in use to-day. o . The farm bas an aréa of abeut fifty square miles and the water +a- ries in depth from five to fifteen fa- thoms. The farmer selects the spots where thé larvae of oysters are most numerous and then he plants small 'rocks and stones. These are soon covered with oyster-spat. They are then removed and placed in special beds, where they lie undisturbed until the third year. be irritated by some for As soon as it feels cover it with unless it cign substance. this it proceeds to | nacre, layer on layer, until after a | few years it has made a pearl. When large enough the oysters are taken from their beds and carefully openm- ed: a tiny speck of some foreign sub- stance is introduced into their bodies; and they are replaced in the sea. By the end of from three to five years the oyster has coated, the (foreigu substance with nacre and this tas become 4 pearl. All the work on this oyster farm is done by women, whe bring the oy- sters up and down by diving. Helping the Bomb-Dropper. In 'France (gey are testing a naval . bomb-dropping mechanism which makes it virtually impossible for the aviator to miss the object at which he launches a bomb. The in- vention is intended for use in con- junction with battleplanes, the aerial bombs being droped through a coae of light. This powerful illuminant is com- posed of a ring of high candle-power electric lights, + Each lamp is sup- ported in a separate reflector under the hood of the bomb-dropper. The light beams from each lamp cross the other beams, and in this manner a concentrated come of light is pre- duced. There are several powerful - elee- tric lamps available for this purpose, and by means of a switch on the aeroplane the llumination can be cut off as desired. The bomb-dropper, with its ring of lamps, is susended at the lower end of a flexible steel cable, and tha wires controlling the whole outfit follow this cable also. When neces- sary the suspension cable is wound up by a power-driven winch, and the bemb-dropper can thus be raised right up into the plane. This scheme has several distinctive features. For bné thing the dreo- ping of the bomb through a circle of light is bound te increase the accur- acy of the marksman. Once the tar- get lies in the centre of the circle of light, a missed shot becomes a rarity indeed Why Pin s Vanish. For many yegys the world bas been baffled by, he. problem of where the pina _go t are turned out in millions of millions by the pin factories. "* But the problem seems to have been solved at last. A Paris scient- ist has been experimenting on pins, hairpins, and nebdles, by the simple process of watching a few. He states that they practically disad- pear into thin air, by changing into ferrous oxide, a brownish rust that soon blows away in dust, An ordinary bairpin took only 154 days to blow away. A steel pen last- ed just under fifteen months. A common pin took eighteen months to vanish. A 'polished steel needle defied the ravages of the atmosphere longest, taking two and a half years {to disappear. ys | So the reason why the World is not a foot deep in the pins it buys Is, it seems, exactly the same which makes an iron surface scale off when ezx- posed for a long time to the atmos- phere without the protection of paint. T The First Prohibition Act. | The first prohibitive measure was that of the Saxen King Edgar, who pearly a thousand years ago, on the advice of Dupstan, put down many alebouses, only allowing one to exist in any village or small town, and at the same time limited the draughts of the' drinkers. The commen drinking cup of day held about two quarts, and gar had eight pegs laced at stated distances in penalties being im- peg to another at each time. Neither the working nor the result of the Act encouraged t's suctessors to fur- ther action, and the next prohibitive legislation on the sale of liquor is due to Henry VIL, whe, by an Act against vagabonds and beggars in the year 1495, gave power to any two justices of the peace to stop the com- mon selling of streng ale in towns and any other places they thought necessary.

He Says: : "It is very plainly shown in the stars that tite war will not end this year. To compute its close we must study the horoscopes of the Emperors of Germany and Austria. "The Kaiser was born with the' sun in opposition to Saturn, and this is a very heavy affliction. In 1917 and 1918 the evil will be stirred in- to action by the transit of Saturn over the place of Saturn in the Kais- ser's nativity. It will be a very evil time for him. In all records of men born with such an affliction disas- ter has come with mathefiatical certainty. The Kaiser has no chance under such an afMictiop and defeat after defeat is foreshadowed for him.
