Coral Fishing.

Coral fisheries on the coasts of It.
ally and Sicily begin about the mid.
die of February and continue till
tile middle of October. The value
of the coral varies according to its
color and size, the pale pink is most
priced, especially if it is of a uni
form color throughout, without
stains. Off Tore del Greco, near
Naples, a large quantity of coral is
found every year; from 400 to 600
boats are sent out in search of it.,
each boat being of iron from six to
ten tons burden, with crew of at
least twelve men, and costing from
$4,000 to $4,000 a boat. The valu-
able pink coral is found chiefly off
the coast of Sicily; in the year 1878
a bed was discovered in the Straits
of Messina, in which the coral.
though found only in small Quanti-
ties and of a small size, was of i'm
mense value, owing to its beautiful
pink, of a uniform color, and
without any of those strains which
detract so much from its worth
Unfortunately, the supply Of coral
in this bed seems to have run short
and for the last few years the coral
have not found it worth
their while to send their boats i'm
search of it.
In 1876 a local bed was discovered
about twenty miles off the coast of
Sciacca, in Sicily, which was in-I
vaded for the next two years bv FOOL
boats. This number all crowded 10 ]

oether ON one spot, caused great
Confusion, and the Italian govern
noent sent a man-Of-war to keep
order among the fishermen. An
other similar bed was discovered in
ISIS about ten miles further from
fine coast. and in 1880 yet another
still further. The coral found off
the coast of Sciacca does not grow,
as at other places, attached to locks.
but is found clihging to any small
object it, can lay hold of, such as
a Shell or a fragment of coral. 1t is
supposed that its dark red or black
color is caused by the muddiness of
the water in which it lives, although
the depths of the sea at such spots
is from 500 to 450 feet. This coral is
not much esteemed in the English
market. but it is prepared in large
quantities fer the Indian market at
Calcutta, by being exposed for
to the heat of the sun. and
by being kept moist, when IN time
the black color gradually disappears.
A few years ago a large quantity OF
Japanese coral found its way into
the market at Naples, and fetched
as much as $3.50 the kile, i'll raw
in spite of its being a bad
color and somewhat cloudy. This
high price was gwen on account OF
it's extraordinary size. 1t was the
largest real coral ever known.
Nothing has been heard of it since,
excepting that the fishery was
prohibited in Japan.
