Th? pearl-fishing aeason, which baft nojv drawn to a close, lias for many of the Scotch fishera been an extremely anccessful one, says Violet Haeburn In the Kdlnhurgh Scotsman. Owing to i th# tow volume of water lu ttoe rivers after the loi^g drought, they hare been enabled to vee more easily the shells on the river hod, also to wade ftftrther Into the water. These fresh water pearls are contained, not In oyster, but In pearl-mu*sel shells, which are to W found In several of the Scotch rivers ond streams. The methods of* fishing vury slight ly. The fisher -with whose method we are most /aralliar wears an angler's hip boots and wades far Into the water. He carrlos In hla hand a piece of cor rugated iron, shuped much the Sftjuie , as a Jug, the buse of which is made of glass. This euables him ,to see the shells wh|ct) lie at the bottom of the river. In his ether hand lie holds a "tongs" consist in i'. Of two pieces of wood with Iron pincers. On gpolrtg n shell he lifts It with tongs and puts it into his pocket. Then when he hus a good number of shells lie opens them on the river bank to discover If he has hud any luck. It may he that he will find a penrl In the fiVst one he opens, or he may open liMioy shells without any prize. The same shell may contain more than one pearl. As there la a mass of water weed at the bottom of ^he river which pre vents the sliell being seen, the spring* before the weed la iu full growth, and the autumn, when It is dying down, are the best times for the fishing. RESERVOIR SITES ALONG OHIO Government Geologic Survey Points Out Enormot/fc Possibilities for Impounding Stores of Water. ' ? ? * I A comparison of records of the flow of the Ohio river >vlth tlio.se of the upper Mississippi ami Missouri shows that, although its drainage area is hut one-third thut of the combined Missis sippi and Missortrl Its average and "tow-water How is 1.3 tliues as great as thMr combined flow, and }ts max! mum flow. is 1.5 times u^. great. This faet i? accounted for by the greater rain fall In the Ohio basin and by the gen eral character of the region. Ill the Ohio basin there are appar ently many opportunities for storage, especially on the southern tributaries. On topographic n?aus of the geological filirvey that cover part of the drain age urea of the Ohio a large number of reservoir sites have been located, some of them of enormous capacity, and it is believed that careful surveys would show many sites suitable for. dams that would Impound large quan tities of xvater In reservoirs. The volume of water flowing In the Ohio may perhaps be better appre ciated by noting that a discharge of 800.000 cubic feet per second* would" 111, one day cover 595.000 acres to a depth of one foot. Aleace to Have Big Show. The city of Strasbourg, In Alsace -Lorraine. Is already making prepartt* tlons for a great interallied health ex position to be held, in commemoration of the centennial anuiversary of the birth of Louis Pasteur, discoverer^ of the germ origin of diseases. Follow ing the example of the Columbian World's Fair n't Chicago, which cele brated In 3803 the four hundred and ninetieth anniversary of the discovery of America In 1402, the Strasbourg ex position will be held In 1928, from May to October, Although Pasteur was born In 1822. For the first tlnte In history Stras bourg will see Jilt exposition arranged by citizens: of France.: The particlpa-j tlon of representatives from the na tions that helped to bring Alsace.-Lor- j ralne back to France- will make It memorable as something more than a collection of modern methods of fight ing disease. ?
