CASEY WAS CHEATED
OUT OF HIS SHARE

Casey was on his way home from q
fishing tEip down the bell buoy. He
had a fine string OF blackhsh, so heavy
that ne thought he needed a counter
weight to balance them. Not having a
can with him. he had dropped IN to put
another weight in the middle, where he
believed IT would do almost as much
good.

Casey began again

Then Casey laid down his string Of

Of his disengaged hand.

PEARL GROWTH.

The real mother OF pearl never has
been found, for nobody knows how
pearls are born and made. The evi-
dence that they can be produced by
inserting some foreign body into the
mussel is doubtful, though Linnaeus, the
Swedish naturalist. is said to have
owed much Of his fame 70 the fact that
he could produce pearls by inserting
grains OF sand between the valves OF
the fresh water mussels which are 10
be found in continental rivers
Artificial pearl crosses are reported
from China as having been obtained by
placing a thin metal cross within the
body OF a pearl oyster and allowing II
to stay there till II became covered with
nncTeouS matter. Prof. Herdrnan in his
researches on the pearl musseI OF Cey-
Ion, has found that the pearls in these
shells are secreted to cover a parasite.
usually a memato!d worm, which passes
one OF its LIES stages within the shell.
and no doubt similar cause will be
FOUND for the presence. Of pearls IN
fresh water mussels.
The commonly accepted theOry thai 4
single grain OF sand within the mantle
is sufficient to produce a pearl must be
abandoned The expert fisherman pro-
fesses to recognize a pearl-bearing shcII
from others. From the River Sain.
which is said 20 hold the finest Scottish
pearls, was taken recently q shell with
three pearls. which was sold for $40
The shell has three ridges running from
the hinge 70 the edge or the valves.
Such ridges always are supposed to be
signs of pearls IN the growth OF the
shell room has to be LEFT for the pearls.
The pearl Is celebrated as a treasure
OF the East and the tropical seas, but
II Is scarcely known as a product OF
Great Britain. Pearl fishing is one OF
the industries OF the United Kingdom
The story OF British pearls begins with
the earliest records Of the country. with
Caesar. who carefully compared the
