MONEY IN PEARLS.
Some Valuable Gems Found
in
the Streams of Kentuoky.
Quite an Extensive Business Done by tbe
Pearl Hunters The Late Dry Sea
son Productive of Great
Success.
The continued dry weather of the
past summer and fall, which has caused 1
many of the creeks and rivers in Ken
tucky to go nearly dry, has been very
favorable to the pearl hunters in the
Cumberland and other rivers, and quite
a number of fine specimens have been
found, especially in the Cumlerland
river, which seems to be the most pro
ductive of pearl-bearing mussels. One
of the well-known pearl hunters told
the writer that he hod found several
pearls during the past summer that
were worth $75 to $100 each, and a large
lot of smaller and cheaper ones.
The leading pearl hunters, who pros
pect up and down the Cumberland, send
iheir pearls to Chicago, Philadelphia
and New York, Tiffany getting the best
of them. Several years ago au old man
picked up a mussel from a sandbar in
the Cumberland river near Point Burn
side, a station on the Cincinnati South
ern railroad, and upon opening the
oyster-like bivalve found a magnificent
pearl of fine size and color. A pearl
hunter who ran across the old man
shortly afterward, and to whom he
showed the gem, at once recognized the
value of it, and bought it for a trilling
sum, afterward selling it for $500.
Such finds as this, however, are few and
far1 between.
The pearl hunters work whenever the
water is not too cold for them to wade
In it. They find the mussels lying on
the sandbars, pick them up, and prying
them open, "feel for the pearl, and if
there is no pearl drop the miiBsel back
into its place in the river. The pearl
is found clinging to the wall of the mus
sel's shell, aud close to the mouth of it.
The large majority of the pearls, as a
matter of course, are oddly shaped and
irregular in form, and for that reason
are worthless. Now and then pearls of
beautiful color are found, but useless
because of a luck of desirable form.
The round pearls, usually found and
put upon the market by these wunder
ing peArl hunters, vary in size from the
dimensions of the head of a pin to the
size of a pea, and bring from 50 cents to
$50 apiece, l'ew of them reach the $50
mark, however.
The pearl hunter who searchea the
Kentucky streams is usually a shift
less, easy-going fellow, who is at home
most any place, and uiukes his bed
upon the banks of the streuui as readily
us he would in the most elulioratrly
f urakhrd uiausion. When he has good
luck on a trip be wuits until all of his
money is gone before lie strikes out
upon another journey. Now and then
a more businesslike operator is found,
who will carry a camping outfit, good
tent, etc., and live in true sjiortmnun
like style while st work.
The x arl hunters suy that one rea
son why the strruuis of Kentucky are
more productive of pearls than the
rivers in some other states is Ix-canae
of the limestone bedrock, which seenis
more adapted to the purpones of the
pearl-bcuring diuhm'Is thun the forma'
tions underlying muny streams in
other sections of the country. 1'esrl
mussels are, therefore, found In nearly
every waterway in the blue grass slate.
but for some reason only a com purs
lively small number of men are en-
gaged in the bunting of them, which
frequently txiys a grest deal belter
than moat any other form of common
labor. The excitrmrnt and anllclpa
tlon attendant tipnn the Industry, loo.
lias something of the effect of the fas
tlnatlon of the diamond flrlila, for the
"next one" is alwsys expected to be a
$5ou beauty. One of I lie nioat valuable
lesrls ever found In tbe t'nitrd flairs,
the -srl hunters suy, came from the

broth or stock, add a teaspoonful of
salt, a dash of pepper, e, teaspoonful of
chopped parsley and fifteen drops of
onion juice, obtained by cutting a
slice from a large onion and pressing
the remainder against a grater. Pour
this mixture into a buttered di.sh after

Coffee as a Deodorizer. A sprink
ling of fresh-ground coffee will keep
game sweet for several days. Soon
after the game is shot, wipe off the
blood, cover the wounded parts with
absorbent paper, wrap up the heads,
and then sprinkle ground coffee over
and amongst the feathers or fur, as
the case may be; pack up curefully,
and the game will be preserved sweet
and fresh in the most unfavorable
weather. Game sent open snd looao
cannot, of nourae, be treated in tlii
manner, but all game packed in boxes
or hampers may. A U-uaponiifiil of
coffee is enough for a bracn of birds,
and in this proportion for more or
lsrger birds. Liverpool (Lug.) Mer

THE GREAT LAKES GOING
They Are Surely Drying TJp, But
Not Very Rapidly.
Diminution Mot, So Noticeable as to Ne
cessitate Econom y In tbe Use of
Water Kvldenoe In
Point.
The professors of natural sciences
and the editors of the various tecnuieal
journals, true to tlie axiom wbicn says
that such persous are ttie lust to grasp
an important iuea or to let sup un ex
ploded tlieory, are just awaKeniiig to
the fact that ttie amount ot water on
the earth's surface is tast Uimiuisniug
in quantity.
The great Wiggins, he of the advanced
school of astronomical weatner proph-
est, has made the very surprising dis
covery (?) that the region adjacent to
the great lakes is becoming an arid as
the plains of western Kansas and Ne-
Vbraska, and that the water surface of
the lakes themselves is lowering very
rapidly, owing to evaporation and de
ficiency in supply. We sincerely con
gratulate Trof. Wiggins. These con
gratulations are not extended on ac
count of his revelations concerning the
prid couditions of the. lake regions and
our planet in general. nor of bis ticiugan
udvanced astronomioHl meteorologist.
SVe bestow our compliments solely be
cause his drying-iip-of-the-ltikeB an
nouncement bears evidence of the tact
that the professor has been spending
the early days of the "sere and yellow
leaf" in looking over tlio back tiles of
the secular newspapers. Our only proof
of the foregoing I ies in the fact that W ig
gius bus Iiever before advanced the the
ory that tlje eiirth is drying up, whereas
it is a well-known fHrt that the great
daily and weekly tiewam)ers have beeii
sounding the alarm for the past ten or
15 years.
Over 1200 years ago the great Sir Isaac
New ton first set forth the tlieory tliat
the earth would eventually become us
dry and lifeless as the moon is now sup
posed to be. In IHiil) Laplace reud au
article before the Paris Academy of
Science in which be gave many proofs in
support of the opinion that the old age
of Ihe earth would lie spent in cyclesof
extreme aridity. Newton's ideas on
that score were sn far In advance of the
(scientific knowledge of the time in
which lie lived that lie never attempted
to give reasons for his npinotn ou that
fcuhject. Laplace's proofs and explana
tions are so burdened with technical!
ties that they are bewildering to the
nveruge intellect.
Yeurs ogo, perhaa even further in
the past limn tbe date set above, the
wide-nwuke daily press seized iihih the
dryiiig-up tlieory as a unique mid in
foresting subject for editorial diacus
hion. Before Wiggins luid ever be
thought himself lo gum notoriety by
poNiug as a weulher prophet, the greut
dailies of this city, ( liii'iio aud New

WEATHER IN HIGH ALTITUDES.
Signal Stations In the Mountains of En
rope and America.
In a paper recently read before the
Boston Scientific socinty Mr. Rotch, of
the Blue Hill observatory, makes some
statements ' about high-altitude sta
tions for meteorological observation.
The first summit station in the world
was that established in 1S70 upon
Mount Washington, at an elevation of
280 feet. Some remarkable observa
tions have been made there, such, for
instance, as a temperature of fil'ty de
grees below zero during the progress
of a gale blowing at 184 miles an hour.
The station at Pike's Peak, 14,134 feet
high, has been closed, and there are
now but two summit stations in the
United States where observations are
made regularly, viz., at the Lick ob
servatory and at Blue hill, near Bos
ton. The highest meteorological sta
tion in the world is that maintained
by Harvard - college observatory in
Peru, at the summit of El Misti, 19,300
feet. It is visited several times a
month by one of the staff of the Har
vard observatory below, at Arequipa,
who attends to its self-registering in
struments, checks the readings, etc.
splendid chain of high-altitude sta
tions exists in France, including those
on Mount Ventoux, 0.250 feet, and the
Pio du Midi, 0,440 leet The highest of
the stations established bv M. Valiot
on or near Mount Blanc is at the
Rochers des Bosses, 14,320 feet, which
is provided with self-recording instru
ments capable of running two weeks
without attention, and is in use during
the summer. The Mont Blanc ohser
vatory of M. Janssen is not yet in op
eration; It has an altitude of 15,780 feet
The highest permanent observatory
now in use in Europe is the Sonnblicu
station, 10,170 feet, In the Austrian
Alps, which has given valuable results.
Switzerland and Italy have well lo
cated and equipped mountain stations,
and the one on Bun Nevis, In England,
though not so high, has given a ten
years unbroken scries of hourly ob
servations. Of course it is possible to
send self-recording Instruments up in
balloons to a much greater lick' lit
than a person could reach and be ablo
to breathe. An altitude of ten miles
and over has been reached by this
means in Francs, and last July in
llcrmany, with very valuable results.
Kites also have carried anemometers
to considerable heights with good re
sults. Dr. Ilersou last venr reached an
sltltudo of 30,000 feet, or neurly hix
miles, making from his balloon some
very significant observations upon
tf uiK'rslure and humidity, winds and
clouds, in a seldom visited region,

EXECUTION OF ENGHIEN.
One of the Blackest Blots In tbe
Career of Napoleon.
The Victim of an Infamous Plot Taken
from Prison at Night, and Shot by the -Glare
of Torches Hit Brave I tear
ing to the Euii,
The scenes of that awful night defy
description. The castle of , Vincennes ,
was beset with guards when finally, at
about an hour before midnight, the
various members of the court assem-
bled. Their looks were dark and ,
troubled as thev wondered who the '
mysterious culprit, might be. None !
knew but Hulin, the president, the .
judge advocate and Savary the destined
executioner. In a neighboring room
was the duke, pale and exhausted by '
his long journey, munching a slender
meal, which he shared with his dog,
and, explaining to his nailer his dole
ful thoughts at the prospects of a long
imprisonment. It would be amelior-
ated if only he could gratify his passion
for hunting, and surely they two, as
prisoner and keeper, might range the
forest in company. But at last he fell
asleep from sheer fatigue.
1 lie jailer, llarel, a picked man who
had kept guard over Arena and his fel
lows (who, it will be recalled, had been
executed on unproved charges of con
spiracy to assassinate Bonaparte),
wus a sometime fiery Jacobin. He
could not well encourage the expecta
tions of his new prisoner, dreary as
they were.for he had that very morning
supervised the digging of a grave in the
castle moat. At midnight the duke was
awakened and confronted with the
judge advocate. Heal was unaccounta
bly absent, and the Interrogatory so.
carefully prepared by the chief magis-
trute was not at hand. To the rudo
questions formulated by Hulin, with'
the aid of a memorandum from Murat,
the prisoner, in spite of repeated hints
from the members of the court mar
tial ns to the consequences, would only
reply that ho had a tension from Eng
land, ami hud applied to her ministers
for military service; that he hoped to
fight, for his causa with troops raised
in (iermnny from among the dis
affected and the emigrants; that he
hud already fought against France,
But he stoutly denied any rclutions
with Diimouriez or Pichegru and all
knowledge of the plot to assassinute
the first consul.
He was then called to the bar in the
dimly lighted sitting-room where tha
coiiitiiisMuii ant. To the papers con-
i
turning questions and answers he was
iionicully c rmitti-d to affix a demand
for au audience with the 11 r tit consul.
"My name, my station, my mode of
thought and the horror of my situa
tion," he suid, "inspire me with hops
that he will not refuse my request."
The revolutionary tribunal followed its
Instincts; its niciulN-rs, knowing well
the fumiliur statutes under which such
bodies hud tic I rd since the days of tha
convention, but not having at hand tha
words or forms of a verdict as pre
scribed by the pitiless laws concerning
thoiei who Imd Uirne arms against
Frnm-e, left in the record a blank to be
fil I-1 out hiler, and pronounced their
.liulgiiit-nl thai the "rcgulsr sentence"
lie executed nt once. They were actu
ally riigugoil In roinmlng a petition
for clemency to the first consul when
Savory entered the room and Informed
hluiM-lf of what had been done and
whut they were then doing. Hnatchlng
the ion from liulin's hand, he ex-rluimt-d;
"The rest Is my affair,"
aud left the room. It was now?
two In Ihe morning of the
Slat. "Follow me," said the taciturn
llarel, "and summon all your courage.'
A few puces through the moat, a turn
of a cor ur r. and the flare) of torches
diaplayi-d a file of troopa not far from
an on-n grne. As tbe adjutant began
to rend the M-hlein-e, the vit-tim faltered
for a moment and eicl.ilmedt "Oh,
(net! what hat I done 7" ilul In an
Instant he rrgnined the tnsatery of him
self. Calmly clipping a lock of his hair,
snd tlrswhig a ring from his finger,
be salted that they might be sent to
I'rimeaa Charlotte. A volley and la
