Cooked jewels have recently been
offered for sale by East African na-

present traded IN that country are
from oysters gathered by natives at
low water for food; the pearls, being

tiers, are usually very small and dis
colored by cooking; but occasionally.
however, a very good pearl is offered
for sale by natives. one such being
stated to have fetched 5000 In Fan
