PEARLS FROM FISH SCALES.

They plan to use the scales of herring. The scales will be chemically treated and compressed under the new process and shipped in airtight cases to America. The material thus obtained will be called “chiltin.” The promoters say that by their secret process they can make out of this artificial pearls with the velvety feeling and lustre of real pearls.
