 There arc l9 transatlantic cables, but the broad bosom of tho Pacific is as yet unspanned. The recent exciting events in Hawaii, however. have stimulated interest in the long talked of project of n cable from San Francisco or Vancou- yer to Hawaii, and if one of thesO prOj- ects is carried out it will doubtless be but a short time before the line will be extended to Japan or to New Zealand.

Plot of "The War of Wealth.

As briefly as possible tho story of Tho War of Wealth" " the new American drama written hy Charlcs T. Dazcy, which was produced in Philadelphia few days ago, is us follows: ROhort Warficld, banker, during trip abroad had married an am bilious vocalist Upon his rcturn to New York Sanforl Farley, his junior partner, discovers in the now wifo n person ho had met in Europe. A child had been born. This child had been stolen from its mother by John Bradley, brought tu America, and at the opening of the play is one of several children that have been brought to Roberts Wartlclds country place on tho Hudson by tho daughter of his first wife. Edith. Tor tho purpose or enjoying an outing. Mrs. Warllcld recognizes in Mary her own child and proposes that she adopt it, but Bradley refuses. To gain revenge, ns ho is tho leader of the workmen in tho cm- ploy of tho Air Limo company, he decides that q ruinous strike shall bo instituted against his faithlcss sweetheart's present husband. Hc is cncouragcd in this by Benjamin Burthrup, the representative of tho Banner trust, an organization that is bitter enemy to the upright methods om- ploycd by Warfield Borthrup also se- cures, through 1lattcry and promises of profits, tho cooperation of Wariield's jun for partner, Sanford Farley. A Mrs Dudley leads Farley to believe that his ad- miration for her is not unrequitcd, and thereby gains from him the information that n disastrous run is to be instituted on the bank of Warfield & Co. Mrs. Dud- Icy informs Remsen, and Remsen informs Warfleld. It is found that Farley has ac- cepted securities that are absolutely worth less. When the hank doors nro thrown open for business, tho crowd of hungry depositors push forth to tho teller's win dow. Finally tho drain of coin has roached its limit, and tho big doors of Wartleld X Co are being closed. Tho rumbling of a wagon Is heard, and a genuine express wagon dashes around tho corner. The wagon contains the hero's (Norton 's) for tune of half million in gold, which saves the bank. Of course the final outcome is happy.

How to Estimate the Value of n Pearl.

The beauty and value of pearls do. pend on thoir color, form, texture (skin), transparency (water) and luster. 4 pearl to be perfect must possess tho fol- lowing qualifications: It must bo per fectly round or drop shaped, have a per. fectly puIe white color, must bo slight ly transparent, free from spccks, spots Vr blemishcs and must possess the pe- culiar luSter characteristic of the gem. A perfect pearl of one grain weight is worth from 10 to 90 cents, while ono of 80 grains is worth from $4OO to $500. Round pearls above this weight arc so raru that they command exceptional prices, depending on tho circumstances of the sale 90 bring almost any figure In India and China tho yellow pearls are preferred
