A WONDERFUL GEM
FOUND PEARL THAT SOLD FOR
10000 PESOS.
II Was Found In Sea Near SuIu
Islands and Was as Big as a Mar
BILE and Of Beautiful Color.

A single pearl worth $4,000 pesos!
The possibilities of pearl fishing in the
Sulu sea seem unlimited According
to Stephen Jurika, of Jolo, who is now
visitor in Manila, the greatest pearl
ever claimed from the sea in the Sulu
archipelago was recently marketed in
Singapore for $4,000 pesos. 1t is the
size of marble, perfectly round and
Of beautiful color. The finding of the
gem by poor Moro fisherman, its
seizure by the sultan, and the interior
ence of Gov. Steever, who took the
part of the poor man and saw that he
had justice, make good reading mat
ter.
Under the old Moro law in force
when the American troops first took
charge of Jolo, all pearls of unusual
size must be sent to the sultan, who
in turn made the finder a present"
The only alternative the finder of a
large pearl had was to sell his treas
ure privately to the pearl traders,
thereby placing his life in jeopardy.
for the trader, If he could not buy at
his own price, would report to the sui
tain who had power to seize the fisher
man and execute him II he so desired.
OF course. under the American admin
istration, this unjust law was abol-
ished, but so great was the fear Of the
poor Moros Of their powerful dattos
that 1t has been the custom during the
last few years for them to carry on
their business secretly with the
traders.
In this instance the Moro fisherman,
somewhat more enlightened than his
predecessors, when forced to give up
his great find to the sultan trekked
into Jolo and made complaint to Col.
Steever, governor OF the Sulu group.
The matter was soon brought to the
courts and the greedy sultan forced to
disgorge the pearl
Gov Steever commissioned the Joio
Trading company to sell the gem for
the benefit Of the finder, and It was
recently sent to Singapore and there.
sold for 10000 pesos. The Jolo Trad
ing company received a commission Of
ten per cent.
So far as is known this Is the largest
pearl taken from the Sulu sea. Three
years ago a pearl, found somewhere
70 the south Of Jolo, was carried to
Batavia and there sold to an European
buyer for $4,000 pesos. AS previously
stated, however, the business has been
carried on SO secretly. owing to the
old law, that pearls Of great value
rarely see the light before they reach
Singapore, and many Of them not short

The Value Of ! Smile

1t Is wonderful what an effect a
bright look or smile may have on one

much good It may do, we should all
ways try to carry smiles about with
us.
The little woman who goes about
the street with such bright, happy
face and CHEEKY word for all she
knows, seems to have the effect OF

she does her shopping everyone seems

A little smile, look Of sympathy,

shark jumping 50 Lex ..i j. SIT. ar,
writes a correspondent OF the south
China Post.
The writer or author of this story,
q captain of British vessel, bound
for London, says that he fired a rifle
shot at a shark and badly wounded
1t. The shark in question jumped so
high out of the water that he cleared
the mainsail with the ease of sea-
gull.
Now, dear sir, this is rather q
trifie strong. The captain states that
they threw some meat overheard to
get the sharks closer to the ship. At
the moment that the shark made a
grab for the meat the captain fired
his shot, which shot made the shark
jump SO feet out OF the water.
We that have been at sea all know
that there is one kind of shark which
has to lay on its side before it can
grab anything between its jaws, and
another kind which has to lay on its
back to do so. The construction OF
their mouths compels them to take
these attitudes. AS a consequence,
the shark in question was either lying
on his back or on his side.
A fish jumping out of the water
makes the following movement: The
fish stretches his back and bends him.
self In the form of a crescent by
bringing his head and tail closer to-
gether. At the moment he wants to
jump he straightens his back again
and hits the water with the tail end OF
his body. This fierce produces the
power which enables him to jump 4

AS above stated. the shark, when
fired at, was grabbing for the meat,
and lying either on his side or back.
In this position he was not able to
jump out Of the sea. His movements
infthis position were limited to three;
he could either move ahead, sideways
or downward.

Brevity as the soul of wit is exem-

Is by no means an inevitable ingre-
dent in proverbs, Many of them are
of doubtful sense, and some are fool

definition of proverbs by Howell as

ness and SALT" is in the main true.
Though truth may be altogether alb

there must be certain salt" which
gives life and SAVIOR to the saying.
It would be difficult to find say

shortest-such, for instance, as Fore
warned, forearmed," Extremes meet"
or the ancient Inter malleum ct in

anvil. Many sayings which in Eng
lish are short were briefer still in
their original classical form.
That the soul of wit was exempli-

is only what we should expect. 1t is
curious to remember that our word
"laconic' preserves the memory Of
the reputation for conciseness Of

cent f:lr at Jolo, instituted by the gov
eminent for the purpose of bringing
the Moros together, Capt. Trana of the
Jolo Trading company exhibited q
magnificent black pearl, valued at q
900 pesos, rare gem of unusual size
and beauty.
The firm of Hernandez & Co., Of
which Mr.. Jurika is member, has
been employing Japanese divers for
pearling, but find them to be unsatis-
factory. AS has been elsewhere in the
islands, the Japanese as soon as they
get little money ahead ignore their
contracts and outfit balandras (sloops)
of their own, entering into active COM
petition with their employers. The
best and most reliable divers, accord
ing to Mr.. Jurika, are the Malays, who
stand the hardships and do the work
better than any others, and spend their
earnings in the country. The Japa-
nese have already established settle
ments of their own at Zamboanga and
Jolo, and trade only among them
selves.
The Moro who secured the great
pearl was only poor fisherman, using
the three-prong deep sea rake of his
forefathers. He refused to divulge to
anyone the vicinity in which he made
his lucky find. When he receives the
proceeds Of the sale he will be one of
the wealthiest Moros in the Sulu arch
ipelago.
