HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
I've stars in This PerIIous Line sf
 Wnrk

iwc Stars In This PerIIous Line of
 Work.
 Two fan'ous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea. Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars In their perilous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan- gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both are thoroughly familiar with the eiviliza. ton of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters, says the New York Telegraph. Faipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked in the trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and a ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however, ls mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite l0ss Valuable pearls are not frequent >nough to make it pay, but the com ercial lnotber-of-pearl is made from .ae shells that they deal in. When it comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of scoop or dredger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. As a rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes a man will pick up fortuna sn a few weeks Nnd sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to $750 8 ton, and there !s always chance that diver may make enough in ere day to quit for life We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet" said Opu, flor the pressure is too great. Even at these depths men cannot remain down over i've or ten minutes, and the average life of the deep diver is short.

BOTTLE OF POISON
Lord Kitchener Always Carried When g

Spy to Cheat His Enemies.
 There is a pretty general impression that the work undertaken by the spy is invariably disgraceful work, and that the professional military secret service agent is more or less degrad- ed creature-degraded that is. for the time being by the very nature of the mission he undertakes. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. There are spies and spies. The paid renegade, who for mere pay, un. dertakes to pry into and betray ths secrets of his friends, stands upon an entirely different footing from the off, aer who, taking his life in his hands. ventures into the enemys camp in or der to gratuitously to obtain informa' ton which may turn out to be of infln- lte Balue to his own intelligence de- Dartment Lord Kitchener was a spy of this latter sort, and it was his clev- erness, energy and resourcefulness in this capacity which first attracted to him the notice of his supertors. Alone and unarmed he plunged into the re" volted Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and succeeded in penetrating, disguised hs peddler of hurra cakes, as far aa Dmdurman itself. Here he saw a fei- low spy stripped naked, flogged till the flesh hung in ribbons from his body. and then crueifed face downward ic the blazing sun Ever afterward, f3 his wanderings among the wild desers tribes, Kitchener carried with hiin g tiny phial of cyanide of potassium.
