COURAGE or LOWER ANIMALS.
Species That Are Noted for Their
Remarkable Pupnacity.

The bulldog possesses the distine.
ton Of being one Of the most fearless
Of animals. This animal has been ex-
tensively used for bull batting whom
that so.called amusement was fash.
ionable in older times, and hence its
name. The bulldog is a most devoted
and faithful companion, It's affection
being mainly centered on one per
son. II the bulldog or its master IL
attacked It will fasten on its oppo'
nent with a grip which. unless killed
or called of by its master, 1t Is ex-
ceedingly difficult to loosen or get
rid OF. The pike and king cuttlefish.
among fishes. and the eagle and
gamecock among birds. would rank
as the most fearless Of their respec'
tive species. The gamecock Is noted
for Its pugnacity. and is never willing
to give up contest until death has
taken one Of the combatants. There
is no animal which a gamecock would
hesitate to attack on the slightest
provocation. A full-grown gorilla Is
as fearless as a lion, and would never
hesitate to attack the lion. African
travellers charge the lion with COW
arSice, and pronounce him to be
pretentious humbug. lie will run
away like whipped cur under cir
cumstances in which a tiger will bold
ly attack and kill.

PEARL BEARING CLANS
IN BED OF SNAKE RIVER

If you should happen to unearth
a clam in your irrigation ditch, do
not feed it to the hogs until you
have examined its internal organ
ism. Possibly it may contain
pearl of great price. Minnesota is
becoming the center of the pei ri
fishinsg industry. That pearl fish
ing is no incoDsidcrablc industry
may be seen from the fact that the
value of all the fresh water pearls
produced in the United States DUR
ing 1905 amounted to fully S.
900, 900. The harvest gathered
from the fresh water streams in
Minnesota alone exceeded $1,000,-
900. Within a month William
Bates, of Red Wing, Minnesota,
found a pearl which sold for $780,
600 1t weighed "a grains and was
obtained from a clam which he
took from the Mississippi river.
The bed of the Snake river is
literally lined with fresh water
CLAIMS and they have found their
way into the irrigation bitches on
the Twin Falls tract. Schoolboys
are in the habit of digging huge
CLAIMS from the little ditch which
passes beside the Bickle school.
In all bitches where water has run
for any length of time CLANS may
be found embedded in the banks and
bottoms. AS the bitches in this
section have contained water for
less than 18 months, it is evident
that the CLAIMS attained their
growth in a remarkably short space
of time, as it is almost inconceivable
that they should have been full
grown when they were carried into
the latcrals.
But it is possible that the Twin
Falls CLAIMS may be too healthy to
grow pearls. The pearl, SO scicn-
lists declare, is the result of the
presence of a microscopic insect
known as the diatoma. This fluke-
like creature infests oyster beds and
causes disease among the mollusk
inhabitants that undoubtedly yields
more valuable results than any
