In the early days Of clam fishing the
perfect pearl was the only one market
able, while now all sizes and shapes
are made use Of. When the formation
is round. or partly round, It goes by
the name OF pearl. One which is per
feet on one side, the other being fat,
is termed a button pearl Buttons are
divided into "haystacks" and turtle
backs" according to the height Of the
projection above the fiat surface, BY
far the greater number Of pearls are Of
this variety, There are also numerous
imperfections that are distinguished
by various names, as "birdseyes.' re-

those with a dark or discolored ring

supplemented by a great number OF
others that vary in the different local
tiles.
A perfect pearl is, Of course, round,
but even then 1t must be Of fair size
and good color to be Of any value.
One the size Of an ordinary pea "
worth nearly, IL not quite, $500. The
color that is most sought after ana is
the most valuable is the pure white or
the dewdrop transparency.
A pearl is built in layers the same
as the she'll 1t is this fact which
gives rise to the popular idea that It's
formation is caused by some foreign
substance getting into the clam and
thereby causing ii to coat the offensive
particle with mother Of pearl. These
coatings may be peeled of. and very
often q dead Surface conceals a splen-
did surface underneath. Several men
In the river towns make business Of
"peeling pearls" and do a thriving
business at It, as nearly every one who
finds n pearl believes or hopes that the
poor part is all on the surface.
Very often the question is asked:
"How much is the largest fresh water
pearl worth, and what Is Its sizeT
The largest one ever found was about
thme-quarters Of an inch In diameter,
and perfectly round and weighed l26
grains. A spot on one side was Its
only imperfectlon. 1t was found by a
man named Ferguson and sold by him
the same day for $3.50 Later It was
sold by the buyer for $4,000. The
finest pearl ever found was one Of sew
enty grains and brought the finder
5000. 1t is now held by jewelry firm
for $4,000. Finds Of this character
are rare, however, and men have tished
for years and never found a really fine
pearl. Others that have worked In the
same manner and the same place have
met with astounding success. A GER
tain Charles Reed, of Prairie du Chen,
has clammed for several years. He
never found anything that brought him
more than S400, yet, instead OF being
the poor man Of few years ago, he is
now independently rich.
A great deal depends on the snrewd-
ness Of the finder In getting what his
pearl is worth. All finds are usually
disposed of on the spot within a few
hours from the time that they are
taken from the river. Pearl buyers
are constantly plying the river In their
launches, and the minute that n pearl
is found a buyer is on hand. Often,
with little judicious lying, they are
able to get fine pearls for a fraction
of their value. One case is recorded
where one Of these Shylocls bought
pearl for SO, having convinced the
clammer that It was of no value. In
few days the buyer had disposed OF
the same pearl for S12O0,-New York
Tribune.

Animal Which Promises to Get Along

La Nature, an exceedingly trust
worthy French publication, has the fol-
lowing In recent issue: Last month
there wns born at Havre horse which
presents the singular condition Of be-
ing deprived Of its fore legs. The
shoulders are clearly apparent under
the skin, but the remainder of the legs
are wanting. This foal was born with
the physical characteristics of a kan
garoo, but with less to console 1t, since
the latter has legs in front, which,
while small and short, are better than
none at all, which represents the con-
dltion of the foal.
The foal is very healthy and obtains
It's food from a goat, there apparently
being no reason to believe thnt 1t shall

by means Of long strong rope. He
then places the "mule" in the water
in such a position that 1t will catch
the force OF the current and pull the
boat down the river. The clnmmer
waits until he thinks he has enough
clans on his hooks, and then, taking
the "mule" from the water he lifts
the bar from the bottom into the boat
suspends It on the stanchlons and
places the other drag" in the stream.
He drops the "mule" into the water
again, and while he is taking the clans
from the first drag" the second is
filing up. In this way be goes as far

The pearl seeker usually works on
the river in the morning and spends
the afternoon in camp boiling out"
This is the process by which the pearls
are found, the shells cleaned and made
ready for market. A tank constructed
of planks with a metal bottom is used
for this purpose, and the clans are

them. When the hooks enter their
mouths the clans Immediately shut
down on them and hang on Hike so
many steel traps. On days when the
water is muddy after hard rain the
clans are feeding and they bite"
freely.
The "clammer" starts out in the
morning and rows up to the bed that
he desires to work keeping close to the
shore and out Of the current as much
as possible. When he arrives at de
sirable spot he rows out into the mid
