POPULARITY OF CORAL.
Product Of the Hu.i-.t Little Creature,
That Live In ti- sea.

The popularity Of coral is growing
both in Europe ard in this country
and those best qualified to speak on
the subject express the belief that the
demand for coral jewelry this fall will
be very considerable The beautiful
canoes and carved pieces which for
merly were fashionable are no longer
sought, tho demand being confined To
simple forms. Almost all the valuable
coral at the present day comes from
Italy, and most OF ii is cut there. al
though 4 not inconsiderable part is GU
in Germany Il is imported into this
country ready for mounting. II i
cut either round. pear-shaped or en-
cabochon. round or oval. Heart-shaped
pieces are also cut to some extent The
round pieces are used chiefly in the
form Of necklaces. guard and lorgnette
chains. sometimes alternating either
with pearl or with turquoise; the pear
shaped pieces are used chiefly for scar;
and lace pins. and pendants. link but
tons, studs and rings mounted with
cabochon-cut pieces The gems which
seem to combine with the best effect
with coral are diamonds and pearls.
In rings the stones are set either slngly
or in combinations OF three or Ave
graduated. frequently in combination
with diamonds and pearls The favor
ite color is a pale shade OF pink. For
mounting, Roman gold is peculiarly et-
tectiye. Coral as Is well known. Is an

along the coast Of Italy. France. Spain
Algiers and Tunis While some coral
is found at depth OF 40 feet. most OF
the best coral is found at n depth Of
from 100 to $50 feet below the surface
OF the water. firmly attached to some
other object near the bottom. The
depth Is too great to make 1t possible
for divers to work profitably. and ac-
cordlngly a special device. consisting
of two bars OF wood firmly lashed to-
gether in the shape OF a cross and sup
piled with a large number OF nets, is
used by the coral fishers. This ap-
paratus IS heavily weighted and drop
ped overheard from the barks used for
the purpose. The coral becomes en-
tangled In the nets, and is then pulled
from its anchorage by main force. The
dark-red coral, which is more plenti-
ful than the pink variety. is largely
used for anklets and necklaces among
uncivillzed tribes: sometimes it Is cut
into larger pieces. which are strung
into girdles or used as ornaments in
the Orient. White and very pale pink
coral. although very scarce, and con-
sequently expensive. are but little used
for jewelry.-Jewelers Weekly.

Hawaiian Com merc~.

The Hawaiian islands are an exam
pie OF commercial development under
a close or protected system. 1t was in
1866 that the Islands first touched an
interest of 81 l.OOO,OOO in our import
trade, chiefly through the whale-fish
cries, as they made a convenient stop
ping place for American whalers. The
interest was not doubled until the reel
procity treaty went into effect GS7D,
and sugar became the great article OF
commerce, with rice as the second in
Importance. but representing only one
tenth the value of the sugar. The
granting OF free entry into the United
States for these two products was
equivalent to remitting to the Ha-
waiian planters the sum OF sl,000,000
a year, every dollar of which acted as
a bounty on production. It was ma
tural to find that so liberal a gift was
soon appreciated. and the energies OF
the islands were directed into laying
out plantations of sugar and rice. As
rice proved OF uncertain profit tn e
cultivation for export has not pros
pered, although the domestic consump-
tion increased through the influx OF
Asiatics. The exports OF this grain
were 2,250.OO0 pounds in 1876. attained
maximum OF 1854 200 pounds in
1887, and are now about 5,50O.000
pounds a year.-Harper's Magazine.
