N the picturesquely miscellaneous collection of Sultans, actlve vol- canoes, Rajahs, Dyak pirates and so forth, handed over to the United States in the far Pacifie as one result of the late Spanish war, are the im- portant pearl fisheries attached to the group of Sulu Islands—pear! fisheries that the Persian Gulf divide with the north coast of Australia the reputation of be- ing the most valuable in the world. These pearl fisheries promise to furnish great opportunities for the investment of American capital. Like many other fields of _enterprise in that part of the world, the Sulu pearling grounds have, for some time, been controlled by men or companies with large capital, of which the chief is the great London jewelry firm of Streeter. These capitalists equip and send out fleets of from twenty to thirty moderate sized schooners upon annual cruises, and employ in the pursuit be- sides numerous European officers and supercargoes, many hundreds, if not thousands, of native divers. ¢ As regards the latter, a controversy has raged in the Western Pacific for many years. Several individuals, whose information was apparently founded upon the best grounds—personal obser- vatlon—affirmed that many of the pearl WORLD'S GREATEST PEARL FISHE Uncle Sem Owns Them N-w and : They Are in the Philippine Islands fleet owners were nothing but pirates of | in his neighborhood, and while filling -his RIES. the worst types, who, while shielding | themselves behind contracts with the na- tive chiefs, in reality kidnaped thou- sands of the Pacific islanders and com- pelled them to dive on the banks, whether he latter were willing or not. The actual diving operations are carried on chiefly by natives, though of late years Europeans with the regular diving ap- paratus have in some instances been em- ployed. The former method is simplicity itself. The diver being denuded of his clothes is provided with a Kknife and a small net bag in which to gather the shells, and then with a forty-pound stone attached to bis feet, and having drawn a deep breath he is let rapidly down by a rope into the transparent waters. The depth at which pearl diving is generally | carried on is from thirty to forty feet though as deep as eighty feet has been thus reached in a few instances. Once at the bottom the diver quickly proceeds to cut the shells from the rocks swered. O R e L et e e R R R SRR S S S S e S s .s%a?CZC,'Ahvdhmybzséur.;Q%Z]th + .

While thus engaged the divers are often subject to the attacks of ravenous sharks, which they are usually able to ward off, but they find a far deadlier enemy in the exhausting nature of their work, carried on beneath the waters of the tropice. Their lives are generally of short duration after once adopting the profession.
