much those same pearls bring in for
eign markets, there are no statistics to
show. The pearls are bought on the
spot by a few dealers, whose business it
is to purchase valuable gems as cheaply
as possibly for European merchants,
and it is doubtless true today, as in the
past, that the ignorant fishermen are
often outrageously swindled. There is
no governmental restrictions upon the
business of pearl fishing in Venezuelan
waters, except that upon each boat is
laid the tritiing tax of twenty-five dol
lars year. At present about four hun
dred boats are employed in the indus
try. Recently French company has
started in here, with divers, diving APP
paratus, etc, and it expects great re-
suits from the enterprise. The native
boats are provided with no appliances,
except that each has a heavy, metal,
scoop-like drag, which is allowed to
scrape along the bottom of the sea, till
it is believed to be full of oysters, when
it is hauled up to the surface and it's
contents inspected. The pearls of this
region are exceptionally fine in quality,
far surprising those of the fisheries
near Panama and the point OF Baja
California, in beauty, size and lustre.
These run from white to yellow, with
nov and then brown OF pink pearl,
and at rafer intervals a jet-black one,
almost priceless in value. One was sold
in Magarita the other day for eighteen
hundred dollars, and will probably bring
as many thousands in Europe. The
French company, of which M. Grun-
berg, prominent Paris jewel -merchant
of Hebrew descent is the head, has pur-
chased the CONCESSION to fish here
from Venezuelan who held it, and is
also obliged to pay the enezuelan gov
eminent 10 per cent. royalty on the pro-
fits Of the enterprise.

From time to time new interest
springs up in the United States about
the pearl fisheries Of Venezuela; and
then after little they appear to be en-
tirely forgotten. l have been looking
up the subject from ''an inside view"
as it were, and find that the best fisher
les are in the vicinity of Margarita-a
large island off the north coast of this
republic. The beds most prolific of
pearl-bearing oysters are not immedi-
ately adjacent to Margarita itself, but
to the several smaller islands close by.
Around the latter are piled hundreds of
tons of shells, great reefs of them, the
accumulation of centuries of peaM-ish-
ing. Columbus discovered the islands
in 1893; and incidentally the fisheries

of the crudest, it is officially stated that
today the output of pearls averages one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year-on the spot. In other words,

 The magnificent fleet of yachts kept in northern waters can then pass up and down the coast in safety. When the inside route is finished a great advance in coastwise transportation is expected to take place.
 An inside passage from Boston to Florida is believed by officials to be one of the possibilities of the future. The present plan is looked at as the first and most important step in this devel- opment.

now being made, is simply a matter of dredging channels through the various sounds lying back of the narrow strip of land which forms Cape Hatteras and the dangerous coast on its north and south.
 Hampton Roads, which will be the northern entrance to the inside passa ge, is considered one of the safest and most easy of access of all the harbors on the coast. Vessels will pass into the Eliza beth river at Norfolk and thence down the Dismal Swamp canal to Pasquo- tank into Albemarle sound. Pamlico sound, Core sound, Back sound and Beaufort harbor.
 When the Improvements contempla- ted are made it is probable that the sim side route" will be continued below Beaufort inlet. This will give the Uni- ted States the greatest stretch Of pro- tected water in the world. It will be valuable in war time, as small warships and whole fleets of torpedo boats can pass from northern waters almost to the gulf without once going outside.-- Washington Evening Star.
