A CHAPTER OX l'EARLS. BY AN EXTKRIKNCED JKWEL1.IR. IVarl.i Bre obtained from a biviilvc known as the pearl mtr, found nt greut depths in the Indian 8ca. Those oysters are of great slzo, meriuriiia; Iroro nine to ten Inches in diameter, and known to naturalists as the JMaieagrina Morgariliftra. The larger pearls are usually touud in tbo beard of the fish, the smaller in the flesh. The deeper the water, according to the experience of the divers, the larger the pearls, Pearls are composed of a sorios of conceutric lasers, of a thin gelatinous membrane, alterna ling with layers of ratboDateof lime (specific gravity 208), and are suppopod to be cincre tions formed by a disease peculiar to this species of oyster. Besides those known as oriental, there is a class commonly called Scotch pearls, procured from a paiticular variety of mussel found in Scotch rivers, and In other river, of Europe, as the Moldava In Bohemia, the Conwav in Wales. etc. The Tay. near Penh, according to Mr. Pen nant, produced at one tuna a reut number, the value of which was reckoned at several hun dreds a year: but ihe supply is now very limited, and the pearls themselves of little value. Hume, however, of a rouci size and flue lustre are occa sionally picked up here and there. Suetonius acsettti, ana it will be new to many, that Julius Orsar, a creat admirer of pearls, wan induced to invade Britain, in order to secure the valuuble pearls lound tneic. According to Plioy and Tacitu. bo brought buck to Itotue a buckler covered with British pearls, which he dedicated o Venus (Jeuetrix, uul caused it to be hung up ;n her temple. Besides the pearls pot in the oyster, there are tfien excrescences upon the mother-of-pearl shell, somewhat oi the nature of the pearl itself, Md which often assume very irreffulur and pro lesquo shapes; they are called baroques, aud, Then larsre and tine, brinsr hiah prices. One of the most singular of the baroques represents a Chinese, witn crosr-ed legs, and another has the appeal auce of a bearded dour; this term is also aiplied to a flat or ill-shaped pearl, if of con sdorablc sic. When pearl shells are smooth and regular in shape, there is less chance of aiding pearls inide, but, when deformed or dis torted, they are almost sure to yield some. The richly variegated substance no well known ei njother-ol-pearl (French, nacre), "dyed with itinbow tints," and beautifully opalescent, is tie shell of the oyster lormed by the calcareous ejuvia; of the tith. It has "the brightness of the morning, or the globing tints of the evening sky;" in other words, the color of the prism so iened, retained, and made permanent. The fitest nacreous shells are those ot Manilla, which are very large and brilliant, with yellow edges. Those Iroin Singapore are larger, but of a dead wlite. Ihe whiter the pcail the more highly is it valicd; not of a cbaUv, but of a brillUnt silvery briihtness, called orieut, irom the resemblance when this lustre has to the tirst faint blush of the rising sun mingling with the silvery clouds, a katre which cannot be imparted to factitious peats, whatever resemblance they may other wise posess. Some pearls are 60 slightly colored as only to be detected by comparing then with others which are perfectly white; buta laipe number are decidedly yellow, others are pink or bluish, and some perfectly black. Tav rnier mentions having seen 6iir. weighing together twelve hundrea carats, as black as )et, butoo purchaser could then be lound for them, altmugli blackish and pink pearls are now in denand, to some extent. The whitest pearls hav! the greatest number of layers; those Ashed ol he coasts of Kurah and Coneo are said to be f superior color aud roundness, many of then having eight layers, while those got at otter fishings have somoiimes only five. The water on these coasts is loo deep, unfortunately, to make the fishing profitable. Peirls cannot be assisted by art; when taken front the shell tiiey merely require to be drilled, and cleaned with the dust produced by the opertior those not drilled are called, in the tradt, virgin pearls. Some dealers try to im prov ill-colored pearls "by boiling them in a soluton of potash, which, if it makes them whitr, does so at the expense of their lustre and fruac'ty; others bake them in bread put into be oven; some, again, recommend rubbing 41l ,l,lni( K Itriiltwl niiUnj mmrt nrlinn Un( f ; wiw.jnriiu uinicu nmiuu iiiC, nuru uuu lb IS said hut, in Ceylon, "widows" that is, pearls discoorcd by having been worn for a length of time-are restored to their original whiteness by beig swallowed and retained in the stomachs of cb:kens lor a lew hours, until acted upon by the astric juice. Pearls r.re sized by passing them hrough sieves ol t?n cilflferent degrees of fipenns. Peals &re extremely difficult to match, espe ciullyihose ot laige size. On this account they were ailed unio (or single) by the liomaus. It may tipear, at hrst sight, singular that such diilicity should exist; but size, shape, shades ot coir, and many circumstances besides, make it all lit imposible to make up even a single row f perfectly matched pearls, jewellers havini sometimes to wait tor years to complete a row ontaining not more than thirty or forty, only tlerably well matched, alter all. Belore the la Emperor Nicholas could make out a sufticiut number of well-matched pearls, for a necklae to present to the Empress, he had to wait tentv-tive years. By purchasing every tine perl which came in his way, and exchange ' ing oters, during that period, ho at length succefled in laying at the leet of her Imperial High ins one supposed to be the finest in the world. Pear, of good color, although badlv shaped, were fallible lor much of the strung pearl woik i vogue about thirty years ago, bat, altnonii noi altogether unfashionable, tuisclas of woi is le-s patronized, at preseut, than it was thtu Although the use of pearls, whether set or trung, has been on the decline for at least trty years, their price has kept rising, not withstnding. Seedbcarls are not sold in single rows, but so much a ounce; they are little used in England, exceptor strung pearl work, but are more used in Frace and pther European countries, from being orked into embroidery. The great mart lor theale of seed pearls is China and other parts the Kat, w here thev are not only used extenuely for embroidery f every description, but arupposcd to form one ot the most potent ingrednts ol the majoon or elixir of life a imivenl panacea throughout China, Hindoo stan, Irsia, aud the Japanese Empire. These matooi, under the name of electuaries, were, at a lit not very remote, highly thought of in this ointiy, audi were composed of many precioi stones, besides pearls. The world-re-nowuei medicine called the "live Precious Fraemits," consisting of rubies sapphire, erne raids, tpazes, and lacinths; these, oounded aud mixed ith pearls and other substance of a more cestib!e kind, were considered a sove reign rnedy for every complaiut. Durii the last illness of King Edward I, at Lannemet, in 1307, among othr medicines pre eribedwas a comforting electuary made wuh amber, nusk, pearls, and jacinths, also a sweet ened dnk sharpened wih pearls aDd corals. Theie ns alo "one precious electuary culled Dyatanroo,or an antidote to late," the com ponent of which have been unfortunately lost to the wrlJi but no doubt pearls and precious stones rera part of the iugredients. These medicins were valuable in one sense, although not a sweitlgn remedy in this case, ' lor ye kinge bt dm." Both were compounded and administo-eiluuder the direction of Dr. Nicholas Tjngewici(,tlio afterward embalmed the body), aphjsiclan Bid in the highest repute, and de scribed as a n ol honest life, good conversa tion, and eiuleut science. Leoui di Holltto, an Italian physician nt emineBce, pneribed a drink of dissolve 1 pearl to Lorenzo tl Magnificent, when suffering from gout. 1 ' The pearl jster is found in large beds, but always at ciderable depths. One ol these banks is oppite to Condatchy (Ceylon), and is twenty miletin length. On this bank the tishing for perl was carried on in the days of the Kotiauu, kid, from the great care with which the tJiWs have been conducted, are as productive bw an they ever have been. The THE DAILY EVENING , TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, hole length is divided Into seven lots, one only being fished in each year, thereby giving opportunity to Hie fish in the others to reach full maturity. In the Persian Gull the pearl t-shing is prosecuted with considerable energy, pearl oysters beiuu found along the whole extent of the Arabian coast, and in all the islands in the gulf. The entire monopoly is in the hands of the Sheik of Bushlre, who considers these islands as his absolute property. The fishing eason is divided into two portions, one called the short and cold, the other the long and hot. In the cooler weather of .the month of June diviii" is pursued along the coast in shallow water, but not until the hot months of July and September an tho Behrein banks much resnt 'd to. The water on these banks Is about seven lattionis deep. The divers are much inconvenienced when the water is cold; indeed, they can do little unless it Is as warm as tho air; it becomes even moro so in the hottest of the summer months. The boats in the Behrein fisheries are ftated to be about fifteen hun dred, and the entire trade is in the hands oi merchants, many of whom are possessed of considerable capital. Alter thp discovery o( America the pearl fishe ries on the coast of Columbia became of great value. In l.rii4, upwards of six hundred and iiinety-seyen pounds of paarls are said to have been imported into (Seville. Besides these, there were three coders full ot small pearls belonging to the king, all of which were sold by the ounce. Those in ported by Spanish and Portuguese merchants exceeded thirteen hundred maces (a mace is equal to about four and a half ounces), exclusive of several bags full of pearls belonging to passengers. Towards the end of the sixteenth century, from mismanagement under Spanish rule, tue trade in pearls became nearly extinct. The Ceylon pearl fishing fleet may number five hundred divers. The pioduce of the fishing, when brought aMiorc, is divided into four equal parts, three of w hieh bel jng to the Government in repayment lor tho expense of fitting out the fleet aud lor the hbeity to fish. The remaining fourth is divided into unequal portions among the boatmen, the boat owner, the tindal, and the divers the divers receiving twice as much as the boatmen, and the owner rather more than the divers. The oysters, when taken ashore, are put up for sale by auction, in lots ot a tnousano. Alter the sale tticy are left under a gunidtor thirty days, in order that they may become perfectly decomposed. In this state they are well and carelully washed, the decayed parts removed, and the pearls picked out. The extremely hazardous nature of these auctions may be gathered from the fact, that, while in st me instances as many as a huudred pearls of various sizes and qualities may be found in one large oyster, a huudred may be apened without the purchaser tindiDg one. The most costly pearls of the Ceylon fisheries are purchased by Moorish and Hindoo traders, tor sale in India, where they find a ready market, the least valu able being sent to Europe. Although the exertion mut be very great when at work, diving lor pearls is not considered very injurious to tho constitution. The greater danger arises from the number of sharks and sword-fish continually upon the watch. For security against these implacable loes, they secure the services of shark charmers, and load tucmselves with amulets, without which they never dive. The time which a diver can remain under water varies from a minute and a half to two minutes, but some are able to keep down ior four, and even Ave minutes; but such in stances are rare, and to the diver very ex hausting. ILe decline in the value of pearls In Europe, which commenced in the seventeenth century, may be partly attributed to the more atirmttiv brilliancy ot the diamond, alter the method of cutting and polisLing it wa. fully understood, and partly to the successful imitation of the pearl itseli; close as this resemblance may be, a person accustomed to look at pearls will easily discover tno best imitations bv their glassv vitreous look, so different from the orieut of the true pcail. Minerals have the advantage of pearls in heing indestructible aud unadulterated by time, whereas pearls, in process of time, moulder into dust. In opening the tomb in which the daughters of Stdicho had been buried, with the whole ot their ornaments, for ins years, it was louna mat au tne riches con tained in it were in good condition, with the exception of the pearls, which were so soit us to crumble between the fincrer and thumb. Pearls kept in dry magnesia are said never to lose their color or lustre, if ex cluded from air or moisture. The pearl was in equal favor with the Romans, Egyptians, He brews, and other Eastern nations. Tho Btorv ot the large pearl, worth H0,V2D, dissolved, or more likely pounded, and swallowed by Cleo patra, is too well known to need repetition; but it is, perhaps, not so well known that pearls were mo principal ingredients in tne love fihilters of these days,' and it is more than ikely that tnis pearl was sacrificed to make a charm of great notencv. in order to win back the regards of Antony, "a match to this Dara- gon pearl, belonging also to Cleopatra, after waras ieu-into tne nanas ot ning Agnppa, the favorite of Augustus, who carried it to Home, aLd had it halved, to make a pair of earrings, which he presented to adorn the statue of Venus, in the Pantheon, and which, for size and beauty, wtre the admiration ot all who beheld them. Tavernier. who travelled in India in the seventeenth ceuturv, states. In his work on dia monds and pearls, that be purchased at Catit'a, in Araoia, a arop-snapea pearl, measuring troru an inch and a half to two inches in lcnarth. and 0'tl3 ot an inch in diameter at the broadest part. He describes it as perfectly iaultltss and of great beauty, which it mut have been, as he gave tne prodigious sum ot 110,000 lor It. He informs us that he afterwards sold it to the Shan ot Persia. The palegriaa, or the matchless, which came into the possession ot Philip II ot Spain, was found at the pearl fishery of Marge rita, on the coast of Spanish Colombia, in the uay oi ranatna. it is aDout tue size ot a pigeon's egg, but with more of a near shane: its weight is 250 carats, and its estimated value $160,000. It is said to belong now to a Russian princess. The Medici family, who. tor centuries, were great patrons of art and arbi ters of tae, were great admirers of pearls; many royai and noDie ladies or tneir connec tion possessed the finest collection to be met with in Europe, Those bequeathed by Catha rine de Med'cis to Mary Queen of Scots were greatly admired for their elze and beauty. In the French crown are several pearls ot great value. One weighine 27 6-10 carats, is valued at XbOOO. Two others, weiuhlntr together 57 11-16, are valued at 12,000. The Princess of England, on her marriage with the "Prince of Prussia, wore a pearl necklace worth 20,000. Many di Herein methods are ado r ted for nro- ducing an exact imitation of the pearl. The mode adopted La Paris, according to Baibot, is to fill hollow glass beads with the scales ot the oieak hsh, which have a pearly, silvery lustre, known as the extract of orient: the same scales are likewise used to coat beads of gypum, or alabaster soaked in oil and covered with wax. Lemaire, of France, manufactures beads of beau tiful lustre, closely resembling the pearl. He adds to 1000 ounces glass beads three ounces of the scales of the bleak fish, half an ounce of fine parchment glue, one ounce white wax, one ouncu of pulverized alabaster, with which he gives them an external coating. Artificial pearls are sometimes made by reducing seed, and thoe w hich are ill-shaped, to a tine powder, worked up into a puste with palo gum, aul made round with a pill machine, or squeezed into a silver mould, so as to give them any desired shape, as when too round they are more readily suspected. When hard enough to handle, they are baked in a loaf, and afterwards covered with the orient amalgam, or the scales of fish. Pearls to made are. however, too expensive tor general use, as, however close the resemblance, they are still only an imitation, and easily detected by examination. Factitious pearls of this descrip tion are brought as near as possible to the specific gravity ot the real gem. Abr'ulciedftom we Glasgow Weekly Herald. '-Afct.
