Brutal Husband Wanted No Solitude

Last Saturday, the very day on which
a certain young Treasury clerk was
to start away with his wife on the
annual leave. the wife received a tele-
gram from one of her sisters,
ing the sudden illness Of their mother
In Baltimore. It was, of course de-
cIded that the wife would have to go
to her mothers bedside. and as the
Treasury clerk had had his leave grant
clerks had their leave schedule all fix

ed trip to Atlantic City by himself,
with his wife to follow along later on
in case her mothers illness proved not
to be serious.

LIVEIN THE SEA
PEARL DIVERS OF THE PACIFIC
OCEAN.
Thursday Island, Between Austrsi6f
and New Guinea, Is the Center of the
Richest Pearl Fisheries in the World
"A Dangerous Calling.

A large proportion of the pearls that
deck the fair throats of the gentle sex
are found in the Pacific ocean, and one
of the richest of the pearl fisheries is
near the rocky shores of Thursday
Island. This island is one of the most
curious and interesting bits of land on
the globe. II is the commercial center
of a race of people who live praetl-
cally in the sea They are the pearl
divers of the Pacific ocean.
Thursday Island is one of the little
group of coral formations lying be.
tween Australia and New Guinea. TAX
en- together the largest of these islands
constitute a calendar, with an island
for every day of the week, beginning
with Sunday Island. Thursday Island
commands Torres Strait. Representa-
tives of nearly all the nations of the
far East may be seen any day along
its shores, disporting themselves in the
water-Fihpions, Japanese, Chinese,
East Indians, Fijians, Papuans. To the
right of the island, running for 1,2O0
miles down the Australian coast, is u
stretch of waving green vegetation, APP
parently afioat upon the surface of the
placid ocean. This is the top of the
Great Barrier Reef, the most notable
coral reef in the world. Throughout
its length its banks are lined with pearl
oysters.
Thursday Island forms the great
market for these oysters. About f20O,-
900 worth of shells are raised annually
along the reef and on the western coast
of Australia. The business of pearl
fishing is conducted on the basis of the
profit from the oyster shells. The pearls
are clear gain. the value varying a
great IDEAL. One pearl found in 1890
sold for $4,000, another for fl,50O.
Pearls worth EGO are quite common.
The shells of pearl oysters are of
enormous size. measuring frequently
eighteen inches across. The oysters lie
In the sea fastened to rocks, especially
coral rocks, and quite away from sand
and dirt. They hang by ~thread-like
flaments, about a dozen in a bunch.
The business of the diver Is to cut
this thread and bring up the oysters.

for merchandise, and realize about fl5

Fishing Is done in small boats or lug
gers. Each boat has a pumping appar-
atus to force air to the divers under
water. The smallest boat. with appar-
atus, Is worth f6O0.

Sharks rarely attack divers. but con
tribute immensely to their nervou

Japanese are the best divers. They
stay under water longer, dare more,
and can be relied upon better than any
OF the other types. Among the Malay
natives women are successful divers.
They go down without diving suits.
