THE Neamer. Albatross, of the United States Fisheries Commission, is now being used in the Jolo waters to locate and determine the pearl beds, This work will engage the atten- |tion of the experts for some time. Mr. Seat, who is the insular government representative on the boat, has already done a large amount of technical work on the formation of pearls. He is very familiar with the work the Japanese have done in stimulating the oysters to produce pearl and will do much to advance the supply in the Jolo, waters In the southern waters there are schools of small fish about the sixe of sardines. These schools will be located And the Alontross will work through the Tawi, at the same time attempts are being southern witers from Zamboanga to Tami made to Incato deep sea fish,
