Premier Kokovtsoff** difficulties with
the enforcement of Btolypin's policies has
begun. He has been trying to deal with
a deputation representing thirty-one

an area of 302,40 ft acres has been lying

DISH METHOD
OF MAKING PEARLS
Russian Scientist Produces
Them From Oysters in 3 to 5
Years.
St. Petersburg A perfected method of
obtainlme p«iui* has b»wn discovered by
n Husslaj) so.midst, ('wMluy Khrnellev
sky. who Is In rhet'K* of the Ponevy
c**h biological station of the Imperial
T'lsclmiltuml society. Fine specJmens of
unattached pearls 8 to 6 millimeters in
diameter have t»een obtained by this
method in from three to five years. No
detail of the discovery has been com
municated by its author to anyone, but
It la supposeu to be bused on the Jap
anese system of artificial Irritation of

of a foreign substance.
The oyster gradually covers the nac
reous or glass b*««v*s, which are Intro
duced through a perforation In the shell
with layers of pearl matter. The Japa
nese subject 800.000 oysters to thin pro
cess yearly on the pearl hanks In the’
Gulf of Ago. The principal fault with
their product Is that It Is generally
found attached to the valve of tue shell
closely Ingrown or attached to the mat
rix by a thin stem. Such send-globular
pearls have only a limited uws for rln »
and pins, but not for earrings or neck
laces.
Mr. Khmellsvsky has solved the prob
lem of producing perfect, unaflnrhcd
pearls A group of persons Interested
In the exploitation of tills discovery has
recently commissioned a young natural
ist to go to Japan and Oermany to In

matter, through Its Plsclcultuml estab

Magnificent Game Preserves

St. Petersburg—Of late years hunting

members of the Imperial family. Though
the Imperial game preset ve covering
180,000 acres, and the supplementary
state preserve of 337,000 acres are sec
ond to none in variety and abundance of
game, the imperial family's modest to*
lul for last year was 1,367 head of game
killed, including 6 bears, 0 elks, 3 lynxes
foxes, 633 rabbits, 43ft pheasants. No
ouroch* was killed or hunted, presum
ably on amount of the severe epidemic
which depleted tin only extant herd of
these animals in the State preserve at
iiielovlezh. The total for 190 K was great
er than that of any recent year, with
1,878 head killed.
A Mukden dispatch transmits a re

HARD WINTER FOR
TRE GERMAN POOR
Irreparable Damage Done to
Crops Especially Potatoes.
Prices Advance 100 Per Cent.
Borlin. The nit nation confronting
the laboring population and till per
sona living on small Incomes Is grave,
and It la feared that there will he un
usual suffering among the poor dur
ing the coming winter.
The summer'll unparalleled drouth
has not yet bneft relieved, except in
limited neetlons of the northeastern
and northern provinces of Prussia;
snd even there the rains were not of
such vllutne as to recover the serious
daume alreadyg Inflicted upon the
growing crops.
The potato crop, representing the
chief food of the poorer classes, is In
a most precarious condition. The
Prussian government Ims Just issued
its flr»t estimate of the probable yield
of tills crop, Indicating a total of 22,-
567,000 tons, which comparts with 112,-
730,000 tons actually harvested last
your. Potato prices have already ad
van cod 60 to 100 per cent In various
parts of the country. Other vege
table prices are at a phenominuliy
high level.
Damage Irreparable.
The clover and lucerne crops were
so damaged by the drouth that a sec
ond mowing was not even attempted
in most parts of the country, while
even the first mowings were general
ly very unsatisfactory.
The damage to the crops has now
proceeded to such a point that It Is
looked upon as Irreparable; the semi
official newspaper has Just said that
no substantial improvement is to be
looked for. The chambers of com
merce and other business organiza
tions are appealing to the govern
ment to snapt-nd the duty on Indian
corn and ordinary barley not fitted
for brewing purposes. It Is also
recommended that these products be
carried by the railways at half rates,
as was recently decided in the case
of other feed products. The Prus
sian ministry will In a few days takt
up and discuss the various relief pro
posals. It Is some satisfaction to
not that the grain crop* have appar
ently yielded considerably more than
had been believed at tbe time when
they were harvested. Owing to the
unusually heavy quality of the grain
already threshed out the Prussian
government has increased Its ftrst
estimates of the probable yield. The
wheat crop, which was at first esti
mated at 2,847.000 tons, is now placed
at 2,426,000 -tons, or only 67,600 tons
less than last year’s actual yield;
while the rye crop is now placed at
6,462.000 tons, which is 262.000 tons
more than the estimate of a month
ago. and 411,000 tons more than last
year’s crop.

TO BE REGGVERED
Salvage of the Lost Frigate
Lutine Will Amply Repay
V/ork of a Hundred Years.
London.—According to reports re
ceived here the salvage of the frigate
“Lutine,” wrecked off tho island of
Vlielanci in 1799, is progressing so
well that it is expected that the enor
mous treasure carried by the ill-fated
war ship w ill be recovered in a short
time.
When the Lutine, a 32-gun frigate,
was wrecked she was on her way to
Hamburg with a cargo of gold and sil
ver bars and coin of the total value
of 36,000,000. Of this sum $735,000 was
for the payment of the English troops
domiciled on the Island of Trexel,
while the balance was to be used to
relieve the merchants of Hamburg,
who were embarrassed financially, ow
ing to the depression of the money
market caused by the wars. Numer
ous attempts have been made to salve
the wrecked fighting ship, and up to
the present time $500,000 has been
wrested from the wreck.

Paris.—Captain Henrique de Paiva
Couceiro, the principal leader of the
monarchist revolt in Northern Portu
gal, is very popular in the Portuguese
army, especially among the artillery
in which branch he served. During
the days of the 4th and sth of Octo
ber 1910, he fought heroically in the
streets of Lisbon and was among the
last defenders of the palace of the
Necessidades against the Republicans.
When the struggle was nearly over,
a minister of Manuel, Senor Texeira
Souza, wounded by a fragment of
shell, crossed the royalist lines on his
way to surrender his seals of office
to the provisional government.
“I have been wounded in my own
house by a splinter of shell,” said the
minister to the captain.
“Serves you right,” answered Cou

the street.”

the most trivial character—so-called
"bagatelle cases." As a consequence
of this predilection of the people to
appeal to the courts about trifling
matters, the number of judges is rela
tively much greater in Germany than
in Anglo-Saxon countries. There ar
not less than 9,974 judges in Germany,
or about one for every 6,500 of the
population. In Berlin alone {here are
1,158 judges.
Just now the government is occu
pied w-ith a bill for the refotln of ju
dicial procedure, w’hich is in part de
signed to check ecessive litigation.
One cause for the pressure of work
at the courts is to be found in the fact
that mayors of cities and police offi
cials have no judicial functions in
Germany. Litigation is also en
couraged by the reasonableness of
lawyers’ charges, as well as the costs
collected by the courts themselves.
Lawyers’ fees are strictly regulated in
civil cases according to a scale based
upon the amount of money involved.
