Many Uses to Which an Iridescent Shell
~ '-:-{+:T $50 a Il is PIT @t't,S{-

Travellers in the Philippines and Hong
Kong are now beginning to bring with
them to this country curios which prom
ise to; become very popular. They are
irregular plates of mother-of-pearl~ any
where from one-eighth to one inch in
thickness, and from three by two inches
up to twelve by twenty-four. The COM
monest kind is plain, and depends for its
effect upon its wonderful iridescence,
which is as marked as that Of the opal.
The rarer and more expensive kinds are
carved sometimes in relief, but more fire.
quently in intaglio. The, home Of the
shell is the Philippine coast. The catch
ing Is done by Tagals, Visayans and Mo-
ros alike. They secure the bivalves some
times by diving, and sometimes with
graphing irons from a., small boat or
raft. Nearly every shell fishery is owned
by wealthy native or chief, who en-
ploys expert divers either at small!
wage or upon commission.
When the living shells are taken from.
the water they are washed carefully and
then thrown into pots of boiling yater.
A few minutes immersion kills the living
animal within, when the shells are re-
moved from the pot and the mollusk cut
away with a sharp knife. The dead
body is not wasted, the finer qualities be-
ing sailed and dried and sold for food.
The larger ones are chopped up and
given to pigs and poultry, which devour
them eagerly: The next operation is the
splitting of each shell or the removal Of
the rough and ugly exterior. Some varie-
ties can be- Split, although the, operation
is said to require great skill. From 9TH
ers the backs are removed by gringing
ON a grindstone. The irregularities on
the face Of the. shell are cured by some
secret: process. They are then polished
and are ready for the market. or: for the
shell carver. So far rs is known. there
are no Philippine carvers of any great
merit. Their workmanship is clumsy,
and very obvious though poor copy Of
Chinese models.s The finer grades of
shell are sent over to the mainland to
Annoy, Canton or Chow Chow Foo,
where there are guilds of shell .carvers,
who possess rare skill. The favorite de-
signs are illustrations of famous myths,
legends and historical incidents; portraits
Of the great sages and poets; of land:
! scapes or fanciful conceptions of dragons,
yrifins and genii riding upon tigers which
resemble poodle dogs. The finest of the
carvings come from Canton, and bring
high prices.-New York Evening Post.
