A JAPANESE PEARL "FARM."
FailleliS Experiment of a Zilologist
and Marine Scholar.
The pearl oyster "farm" wee
founded by Dr. IVIiltimoto, a fa.motts
Japanese zoologist --and marine
eoholar.Its headquartere are on
Totokujoime Island, 04 Ago Bay.
Here on a little peninsula jutting
out into the by a)re the many
buildings which comprise the insti-
tution, consisting a a taborets:try
for experimental work, sorting
9410de, packing emcee, offices and
nianages'e residence. In wimples,
PartioulaelY, it is a charming little
place. The faron proper bee a total
ere& of some 29 nautical square
nai)es. The pearl oyster found on
the.se grounds belongs to ehe species
ISI martensi, which is very abundant
in the bay, end found more or less
in all poets of japan. The oysters
reseal -hie the specimens • found en
Ceylon, famous for peodueing tlae
finesb peerla in the world.
Dr. Mikimoto began his experi-
rnenbs 90L110 twenty leers ago. Al
fleet it seemed almost like pursuing
o fleeting shadow, ancl ells Lien&
laughed se him for "throwing hie
nioney into the sea." He persisted
in his work, however, -teeting 011
$orts of theories and changinag his
methods firozn time to time,
results -were obtained"Which seemed
to promise encoese. In 1896 things
had so far progressed that the ex-
perimental stage was a thing of the
Pest and -the enterprise was put Oil
oammercial basis, A patent for
the new method wee obtained from
the Government, and the eultivae
Mon o the pearl oyster on an ex-
teitsive scale was undertaken. At
the end of 1898 the first smell crop
*11 pearle was ;harvested and placed)
'upon the market.
The manner in which the peerls
B110 0111thivated is simplicity itself,
very year, during the months of
July and August, small pieces of
reek and stone are placed at those
spots where the larvae of the pearl
oysters have been found to, be most
abuttelainrt, Soon small oyster spat
is founcl attached to them. As the
reeks are placed in shallow water,
not more thane few • fathoms in
depth, the osostees would die .,from
cold if left elms% during the winter,
so the rocks, with their adhepent
colonies are moneyed to deeper wa-
ter,end estaefully laid out in beds
prepared for therm Here ehe oyee
tees lie until ;their thirdYea,r, when
they are taken niit of the sea and
undergo an operation which leads
to pearl fenteation. This consists
.chiefly in ineroducing into them the
email peals Or round p11:4e40 of
name, which serve its the nuolei of
the. pearls -to -be. The sh elle o are
then put back into the sea and lefe
undisturbed for at lea"sl four years
