from the NOW Ork w Orl0.
1t became known yesterday that Lieut.
Herbert Whipple of the Seventh United
States Cavalry. recently found valuable
pearl in an oyster patty while dining with
friends In the Waldorf Astoria Hotel The
pearl was the size of hazel nut and near
~ round. Had It not been damaged In
the cooking, experts say, ii would be
worth at least $4,000.
The dinner was given In honor of Hent
Whipple few days before his departure
TO join his regiment in Cuba. As he was
eating an oyster patty his teeth struck
something hard. As II was too round 10

animation. and found IL to be a beautiful
pearl The process of cooking hal
changed its appearance from a pure white
to dun turquoise blue.
put in a stickpn for his wife and sent IL
to a jeweler the next day. When the pearl
was shown to Manager Boldt of the hotel
he said:
Had 1t not become darkened in the
cooking the pearl would surely have been
worth $4,000 or $4,000.
1T is not unusual to find pearls in oys-
ters, but they are generally so small rs TO
be of little value" he added. Lieut. Whip
pies find was the largest and finest pearl

II shall have TO examine our oysters,
he laughed, "if they have got to bearing
pearls-or raise the price Of patties.'

A NEW COFFEE DISEASE
is DEVELOPED IN NICARAGUAN
PLANTATIONS.
Supposed to be Caused by Excreta OF
Mosquitoes-Over 100000 Trees Have
Been Affected.

Consul Donaldson sends from Mana
qua, report by Consular Agent Man
ming of Matagalpa, which reads:
Inc disease winch mas attacked the
coffee trees of this district is commonly
known here as "ojo del gallo" put has
been pronounced to be properly denuln-
mated "Stilbum flavidum" by some
whose knowledge of botany and plant
diseases makes their opinions of value.
1t was first noticed here and recognized
as disease in 1893 or early in 1894, al
though the spot had been seen on the
trees before that. 1t seemed to make
its appearance first on the slopes of the
hills most exposed to the north wilma,
and therefore most liable to heavy
night fOgs, and its effects are more
noticeable under these conditions; yet,
just to prove the rule of exceptions,
apparently, it will also be seen in most
sheltered spots.
Soil seems to have nothing particular
to do with the disease, as it is found on
the most barren and most fertile soils
Unfortunately. It's cause is yet a
matter of pure conjecture, although one
gentleman who has given the question
considerable study is of the opinion,
based on observation of the habits of a
small mosquito, that the fungus may be
the spontaneous growth from the eX-
cretions of this insect He claims that
wherever the disease first makes it's APP
pearance, these small gnats may be
found in great numbers.
The disease is fungus which attacks
the leaf of the coffee tree spreading
with great rapidity. The leaves dry up
and fall to the ground. The tree then
throws out new leaves, which in turn,
are attacked, with the same result.
While very few trees have actually died
from the disease, they have lost their
usefulness entirely as they bear no fruit
and cultivation seems simply to pro-
! tect them but not to remove the disease.
| No effort of any value has been put
| forth up to the present time to eradicate
| this disease. There seems now how
ever, reason to believe that it will be
! fought by organized effort. The Club
de los Extran1eros, an organization
composed wholly of foreigners-princi-
pally coffee partnerships taken the
matter in hand and is trying to intro
duce the Bordeaux treatment. They
have Just ordered the necessary mater
ials Gncluding tons of sulphate of
copper and four dozen spray pumps)
! from the United States, and have OBJ
tanned the permission of the Nicaga-
! guam government for free import and
transportation on the government rail
roads of these materials. The Nicara-
guam government has also promised to
| send a commissioner to investigate
the causes and effects of this disease,
| 1t is estimat ted that in the immediate
vicinity of this agency at least 500 600
! trees have been attacked
