Polishing Coral.
Although Venice is a center for tour
ist trade In coral nnd shell cameos,
coral Itself Is neither gathered nor
worked there. Tho manufacture is con
fined to Torre del Greco. Polishing
coral in quantities is an Interesting
feature of tho work. It is placed n a
small bag of strong, raw linen together
with crushed pumlco stone, and tho bag
is shaken Id a special tube with a hole
for drainage under a small column of
water. When tho conn is well puml
cnted it is washed and paused Into a
clean bag. Instead of the pumlco tho
so calk-J 'pullmento" (red or white) is
used, and tho former operation Is re
peated, first without water, then with
a little nnd finally with much water,
when the coral has become brilliant.
What tho "pullmento" is tho Inhabit
ants of Terro del Greco, whllo so proud
and Jealous of their industry, havo
never taken tho trouble to find out, as,
indeed, whnt tho "aqua osslgenata"
(hydrogen peroxide) is, which Is used
to change. tho color of tho coral, black
when extracted from the sea, to red.
As for tho "pullmento," it is not differ
ent from jthut which tho jewelers uuu
to polish precious HtoneH. Exchange.
