TWO-LECGED HORSE.
Animal Which promises TO Get Along
Without Its Forelegs.

La Nature, an exceedingly trust
worthy French publication, has the fol-
lowing in Il recent issue: Last month
there was born at Havre a 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 kan
CARGO but with less to console it, since
the latter has legs in front, which,
while small and short, are better than
none ut all, which represents the con-
ditiOn OF the foal.
The foal is very healthy and obtains
its food from a goat, there apparently
being no reason to believe that it shall
not live and learn to do entirely with
out the members of which it is lacking.
We once saw small dog, whose hind

!, -.Jerseyman frantic, and filled frequent
dy with the miasma which breeds
malaria
Having thus cared for the domestic
or social side of life, the pearl fisher
.equips himself for business. II he has
fished for pearls before he knows that
he cannot depend alone on these found
lings of fortune for a livelihood. The
only practical way for him is to dig
ND CLANS and sell their shells, and as
lie sorts over the bvalves he can keep
! his eve out for an elusive pearl. He
y may go through whole season and
only discover a few dead ones" which
are practically worthless, or of sud-
eden he may stare at a brilliant turtle
back" as large as marble and worth
$4,000.
The work is done from a scow-
sshaped boat which drifts with the
dragging over the bottom
large number of hooks, on which the
! clans "bite" The hooks are on short
sstrings, or chains, and are attached
.side by side on a long bar or gas pipe.

clans lie with their mouths toward the
current, so that they may catch food
particles that come floating toward
them. When the hooks enter their
mouths the clans Immediately shut
down On them ard hang OH like SO
many steel traps. On days when the
water is muddy after a hard rain the
clans ere feeding ard 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
die OF the stream and drops one Of the
"drags" to which the hooks are at

others that vary in the different local
| flies.
A perfect pearl is, Of course, round,
but even then it must be of fair size
and good color to be of any value.
One the size Of an ordinary pea is
worth nearly, If not quite, 5000 The
color that is most sought after and is
the most valuable is the pure white OF
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 its
formation il caused by some foreign
Substance getting into the clam ana
thereby causing it to coat the offensive
particle with mother CT pearl. These
coatings may he pc2led off, and very
often dead surface conceals a splen-
did surface underneath Several men
in the river towns make business Of
"pcelne pearls and do a thriving
business ut it, as nearly every one who
finds a pearl believes or hopes that the
poor part is all Oh the surface.
Very often the question is asked:
"Iow much is the largest fresh water
pearl worth. and what is its si2e?'
The largest one ever found was about
thrce-quarters Of an inch in diameter
and perfectly round and weighed 126
grains. A spot on one side was its
only imperfoction. 1t was found by
man named Ferguson and sold by him
the same day for $1750. Later it was
sold by the buyer for $4,000. The
finest pearl ever found was one of sew
enty grains ana brought the finder
5000 1t is now held by a iewelry firm
for 100000. Finds of this character
are rare, however, and men have fishCd
for years and never found n 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 CLAIMED for several years. He
never found anything that brought him
more than $400, yet, instead of being
the poor man of few years ago, he is
now Independently rich.
A great deal depends on the shrewd-
npss of the finder in getting what his
pearl is worth. All finds are usually
disposed OF on the spot within few
hours from the time that they are
aiken from the river. Pearl buyers
IRE constantly plying the river in their
and the minute that a pearl
S found buyer is on hand. Often.
With a little iudicious lying. they are
lble to get fine pearls for a fraction
If their value. One case is recorded
where one of these Shylocks bought a
)ear for So, having convinced the
:lammer that it was of no value. In
, few days the buyer had disposed CT
he same pearl for $1200.-New York
