1t is q common belief that pearl
oysters are found only In ocean beds,
and perhaps it may be a surprise to
some to learn that pearl fishing is ex-
tensively carried on in several Scot
tish rivers, and If the pearls there
found are not quite 80 Inc as those
got from the ocean. they are in con-
siderable demand and can command
good prices. On the River Tay, 40
miles from 1ts mouth quite a small
trade is done in fresh water pearls,
and there the method of procedure Is
as follows. The fisher, having armed
himself with a long bamboo pole split
at one end, and a continuance very lika
a tin pail with a glass bottom, en-
barks in his boat (some times only q
large wooden box) and SOULS out on
to the stream, which at this point runs
very sleWly and &c &c HStacraS io
depth. Letting down his pail a few
inches into the water SO that he can
clearly see through the glass bottom
the objects on the bed of the river, he
SOULS along until he comes to a clump
of oysters (Which grow with the
sharp edge upwards), and letting
down his long pole he secures one of
them in the cleft and lifts 1t into the
boat. After having procured a score
or two he opens every shell with his
knife and examines carefully the inner
edge. The gems, however, are difficult
to get, often several dozen oysters be-
ing opened before one Is found. Aa
much as 80 pounds has been got for
one of the fresh water pearls.

Oxen in Massachusetts.

]. D. Avery Of Shelburne Falls is

of the country. At the B%rattleboro fair
recently he has had the most wonder
full exhibit of oxen. and in all the tests
Of strength for pulling heavy boat
loads of stone his oxen have cleaned
the decks. One Of the secrets in these
tests is the way the oxen are man
aged and driven. Mr. Avery does his

business. The other day again, as the
day before, he cleared everything be-
fore him in the OK pulling ring by TAX
ing all three prizes in the free for all

GUILD NOTIFIES RUSSIA
Presidents Action Passes Uneritlcis.
ed in Russian Official Circles

St Petersburg, Dec. 1S.-The Amer
lean Ambassador, Curtis Guild, Jr..
acting under instructions from the
President of the United States. today
notified The Russian Foreign minister
NJ. Sazonoff, that the Treaty of 1882
between the United States and Rus
STA would be abrogated on January
1913, in accordance with provision
made by Article XII
1t is pointed out in official circles
that Russia has no cause to be dis
satisfied with this turn of affairs.
President Tafts action, in view of
the previously contemplated proce-
dure, being likely to increase his pop
ularity here. The notification, it is
added, was given with full right, and
tactfully made no mention of motives
underlying the abrogation of the trea-
ty, which leaves full latitude for con
Quoting new negotiations with the
controversial factor eliminated.
This feature of the situation has
attracted attention and seems to be
fully appreciated. The Russian gov
eminent finds not the slightest
grounds to object to the abrogation
in such shape as it actually assumed
in Ambassador Guhd's note, which is
dated December II.
In a note dated December IS. the
Russian Foreign minister acknowled-
ges receipt of the notification and
says that Russia takes notice there
