Variety in Size and Color of Pearls The
Southern Cross Pearl.

When the pearls are taken from the
dead fish they are first sorted according
To size. This ii done by passing them
through set Of ten small brass sleeves,
called baskets, with meshes Of varying
sizes. Pearls of the FIRST class that are
perfect both in sphericity and in Iustro
are called ami. Those Of the second
class, that to the average observer seem
equally without flaw. are anitari; and
most of the pearls We see in the West
and on general sale come under this
head. OF the third class, called mas
snkm, are those that are somewhat ir-
regular in shape, and trife off in
color. but that are valuable for nse in
clusters, and arc largely used BY Eastern
artiiicers in Hlountisgs Of various sorts.

which, when Of good laster and sirti-

together, and forming perfect cross

Pearl oysters are of two varieties

derstruck at Yuan Shi Kai's dismissal.

there are indications that the japanese
representatives alone had any mixing Of
what was on foot.
The American, German and British
ministers have been in conference at
the British legation ever since news
of the dismissal became public, and
there is reason to believe that Prince
Chung, president OF the board OF foreign
affairs, will be waited upon to-day by
d strong diplomatic combination, includ-
ing the British, German and American
representatives.
Yuan Shi Kai's attitude is as yet I'M
known, and the legations are an2iously
awaiting a clue to the thrones future
course Of action.
In accordance with the regulations OF
the new regency the decree of dismissal
was marked and sealed by the prince

grand councillors. excepting that Of
