The oyster has of late yean, from its
great eoonomio valne, attracted the at
tention of scientific man of all countries,
and especially in this country have
many suooesafnl experiments been made.
Professor Brooks, cl the John Hopkins
University, made the first successful at-
tempt in the artificial Impregnation of
the eggs of the oyster. A single oyster
lay. about two mlUious of yellow eggs,
which art found ia the gills of the pa
rent They seen eommenoe to move
shoot by means of delioate motile fila
ments that almost cover them, and then
are hatched and called fry. They are
now independent—free swimming crea
tures, bnt shortly cease to rove about and
attach themselves to the bottom, the
shall, one-eighth of an inoh in diameter,
being easily discernible. At the end of
the first year they reproduce, but do not
attain their perfect siao. for three yean.
The incubation of oyster eggs ia the
great business of the future, and in a few
yean, probably, the dealer oan go to a
hatchery and order 500,000,000 sprat,
more or less. * The present difficulty is
notin the fertilisation bnt in keeping
the young alive, and to this end experi
ment* are being made in various parts of
the world.
Another important question affecting
the flavor and, oonaeqneLtly, tbe sale of
the oyster is its food. Every epicure
knows the difference between Blue
Points, Shrewsbury and Virginia oysten,
sad the supposition is that their food is
•ha cause of the difference. Professor
r«idy, President of the Philadelphia
Academy of Science, says that the oys
tor, probably, naturally feeds upon tho
■oospores of certain algto, such as
those of ths sea oabbage ( Ulva latiiui-
maX This, ia bis opinion, might
.givn the animals the green anleg
that they often possess, particularly in
the soft parts. Bo many oysters liava
bean rejected by buyers who were afraid
of tbe green tint that the matter haa
been investigated by two French natural-
lets, who took perfectly white oysters
and fed them upon water containing an
abundaaoa of a green microscopic plant
(Ifarioula oatrearia), and they assumed
the green, ooppery hue that was sup
posed to bo poisonous. Oysters are sup
posed also to contain the green coloring
matter of plants oalled chloropbyl, found
in a number of snimali. The most care
ful tecta were made chemically with the
spectroscope and otherwise by various
tnfrntflln man, and in no oaa* was the
green oolor traced to metallic matter or
found in any way poisonous.
“Is it true," asked tbe skipper’s com-
“that star fish roll on oyster
beds?” "I can’t swear to it,” wss the
reply, “but among istormen it’a a gen
eral belief that aea stars get together in
of font or five hundred and lot
these* or ground swell roll ’em up shore
onto the beds, where they break up and
go for tbe fetors. They kill thousands
of bushels of ’em every year. The way
they work is to olose over the shell and
turn their atomaohs inside ont and sack
the critter right is. They’re one of the
worst snot ins the isters have. It’s as-
tonishin’,” ha continued, “the number
of eggs isters lay* and how few grows
up. I beard a gentleman aay that out of
1,000 isters about 450 lays eggs, and say
each laid 1,000,000, we’d have forty odd
million young. But be said, on in aver
age, only 400 or so of these grew to per
fect size, so for every is ter as is eat over
1,000,000 gits killed.”
Professor Mobius says tbe productive
ness of the oyster is 7,000,000 times
greater than that of man, bnt its capacity
to mature 579 times lees. Tbe European
oyster is far below its American cousin,
and about England extremely rare. Iu
1870 a imall bed was discovered at tbe
mouth of the Thames, sear Whitestable,
about sixty feet long and twenty wide,
and within forty-eight hours seventy-five
vessels were anchored over the spot.
The bed is now defunot. The beds of
Oancale, on the Normandy coast, are yet
rich, though the following figures show
the same decline : In 1842 they yielded
62,000,000; in 1859 the number was only
16,000,000; in 1161, 9,000,000; in 1863,
2,000,000, and in 1865, 1,000,000. A
rage for the artificial culture of oysters
swept over Europe several years ago,
promoted principally by Professor Coste,
of Paris. In the spring of 1858 he dis
tributed in the bay of St. Brienx shells
and heavy fagots over a apace of 1,000
heoteem (one hectaer equals 21.4711
seres), and on these spread 3,000,000
mother oysters. In the autumn all the
fagots were, of course, covered with
yooug oysters; for if theaa oysten were
qtnm
182,000 young oysters to every
square meter. The boldest expectations
were exceeded. It was thought that
now the means had been found to sur-
round every French coast with oystes
bads, and people already oommaooed to
aatonlate, according to the prioe wkioh
oysters brought at that time, how many
millions of franos would be yielded by
this harvest of the aea. Capitalists went
into partnership with fishermen and
started artificial oyster beds, but the rich
harvest of marketable oysters failed
everywhere because the greater portion
of the yonng oysten had been destroyed
by quioksand or olayey deposit, by want
of food or by enemies. At present the
catching and raising of young oysters is
only successfully carried on iu a few
places on the French coast whioh are
favorable for this cultivation; an a large
eoale in the bay of Aroaohon, north of
Bordeaux. In this bay the young oys
ters produced by mother oysters on nat
ural beds are oaught on fagots, sepa
rated from these in October, and then
plaoed in boxes and finally in artificial
ponds. Ia these they are protected
against enemies by wires or ueta. One©
or twioe every year they are plaoed iu
other dean ponds, and oare ia taken that
both daring the coldest and warmest
they are covered by at least
i wen tv centimetres of water.
HOW A FASTING 1 11 IFF ESCAPED.
Friar it. Nnall F.l«n» Foolishness Is Orta
Is Attala Ills Freedom.
TUB HOMAbVIO HTOMVUT AN AFACHJI
The escape of Peter O. Hmull, the
fasting horse-thief, from the jail at
Belvidere, N. J., was very cleverly
mnnaged. At 7 o’clock in tho evening
6keriff Bowers found him very weak
and complaining of pain in the stomach.
The Sheriff llien went down town on
business.
Half an hour later Small rattled at the
door lending to the Sheriff’s residence,
and the call was responded to by Liaaie
Bowers, a young lady of twenty sum
mers. He asked her to get him some
cigars. She refused, saying that none
of the men were about. Ten minutes
sftrfr <bW SmttlV ugstn flatted' Mia*
Bowers, and asked to have his coal-oil
lamp filled. Hmull’s cell is iu the old
jail. Miss Bowers opened the door of
the new jail adjoining to let John Prioe,
colored, into Smull’s apartment to fll)
the lamp.
By this time Smull, who stood inside
of tho door in liis shirt-sleeves, put on
his coat, a thin one, a Dorby hat, fur
nished by a prisoner. Prioe passed in
the door, and finding Smull ready, ran
out, followed by Smull and Theodora
Carling. Miss Bowers grabbed Small,
but he broke her hold, poshed her aside
and soon joined the other prisoners on
the street. Miss Bowers screamed for
help. Her mother came and both stood
in tho hallway powerless with fright
until too late to see whioh direction the
prisoners had taken.
At the time of their flight a high
wind and snow-storm prevailed, and the
night was the coldest of the season.
Smull was thinly clad, having on the
clothing that he wore at the time of ar
rest, two months ago. The day before
be escaped he moved about in his cell in
a stooped position, and appeared hardly
able to walk. When he ran from the
prison he was as straight as an arrow,
and appeared strong. His cell was vis
ited by .reporter of the Easton Aryut,
who found everything in order and a lot
of eatables on a stand. A small gold
cake, brought to Smull by his mother
four weeks ago, warn found with the in
side removed. The Sheriff is positive
that this was all that Smnll has eaten
since he has been in prison. Carling
was awaiting trial for highway robbery
and Price was serving a sentence for
larceny.
. WON’T DO IT.
The Hon. John Pearidge Wesley, Sec
retary of the Jones Cross-loads Lyceum,
Virginia, informed tho Liinc-Kiln Club,
by letter, that on the 6th day of August
next his society proposed to open a dr
bate, free to the world, on the query
“What am de hereafter of animal crets
tion?” It was hoped that the Lime
Kiln Club would send at least four of iU
leading orators to participate in the do
bate.
“While we am mnoh obleeged for de
invitashun," replied the President, “we
shan’t let de inquiry worry ns a bit.
While it am a sad thing to part from a
dog which has stood by ns fnr a dozen

pvor, but h*
diers fell dead, pierced with poisoned
arrows. This frightened the reef, who
fled. Another shower of arrows, and
tha beantifnl bride and her mother fell
into the water, piereed by the erael
weapons of the Apaohes. With his wife
dying before his eyes, Colonel Pelton
leaped np the bank, grasped his rifle and
killed the leader of the savage fiends.
But the Apaohes were too mnoh for the
colonel. Pierced with two poisoned
arrows, be swam into the river and hid
nnder an overhanging rook. After the
savages had left, the oolonel swam the
river and made his way book to Fort
Macrae. Here his wounds were dressed,
and he finally reoovered, but only to live
a bloated life—without love, without
hope, with a vision of his beantifnl wife,
pierced with poisoned arrows, dying per.
petually before his eyes.
After the death of his wife a ohauge
came to Oolonel Pelton. He seemed to
think that he had a sacred mission from
Heaven to avenge his yonng wife’s
death. He secured the most unerring
rifles, surrounded himself with brave
companions, and oonseorated himself to
the work of revenge. He was always
anxious to lead any and all expeditions
against the Apaohes. Whenever any of
the other Indiana were at war with the
Apaohes, Oolonel Pelton would soon be
at the head of the former. One day be
would be at the head of his soldiers, and
tho next day be would be at tbe head of
a band of Mexicans. Nothing gave him
pleasure bnt the sight of dead Apaches.
He defied the Indian arrows and courted
death. Once, with a band of the wildest
desperadoes, he penetrated 100 miles
into the Apache country. The Apaohes
never dreamed that anything but an en
tire regiment would dare to follow them
to their camp to tbe mountains. So
when Colonel Felton swooped down
into their lodges with ten trusty follow
ers, firing their Henry rifles at the rate
of twenty times a minute, the Apaohes
fled in consternation, leaving their wo
men and children behind. It was then
that there darted ont of a lodge a white
woman.
“Spare the women 1" she cried, and
fainted to the ground.
When the colonel jumped from his
■addle to lift np the woman he fonnd
■he was blind.
“How came you here, woman, with
these Apaohes ?” he asked.
“I was wounded and captured,” she
said, “ten years ago. Take, oh, take
me back again !”
“Haveyou any relations iu Texas?”
asked the oolonel.
“No, my father lives in Albuquerque.
My husband, Colonel Pelton, and my
mother were killed by the Indians.”
“Great God, Bella ! Is it yon, my
wife?"

An Orange Grower.
A letter in the Boston Tranteript
■aye: As look would have it, daring
the war tbe Yankee found his way to
Florida, saw the possibilities, and after
the war was over roturned to Florida
and act himself to work to solve the
problem of making some money out of
the wild orange groves. He ont ail the
trees in the sour groves that were not
wanted, and budded the stook with
sweet fruit, whioh plan proved a auo-
frait appearing in from three to
four yean. He quickly perceived tbe
value of this and other fruits whioh need
tropical son, and set tbe boom agoing
that haa already attained immense pro
portions and ia increasing annually.
The orange may be called the staple
product of Florida, so generally ia it
eoltivated. Almost every enterprising
planter has hi* grove, whioh ia very
tenderly eared for, as on this he expects
to depend for a good income when it
goto into beering. Many groves an
owned by non-residents, merchants,
olerka, and even by meohanlos who oan
not afford to spend all their time welt
ing on an orange grove. Booh
hire their work done for a small sum,
especially where they have not enough
money to go aud do all they want to do,
such aa baud a house, etc. The grot*
is eared for by some of the residents.
Tbe orange tree is a very prolifio bearer,
seldom having an off year. Fifteen
thousand oranges have been pinked
from a single tree is one season. This
is vary estra, however. The prosperity
iatateb Fields is aqfejiug ia du* largely
to the posh and enterprise of tbe
Yankee. We have said enough about
the orange tree for tho present. We
oan teli you muoli alxrat other trees,
and what they wUl do in Florida, such
as the peach tree (which ripens its
fruit in early May), also the La Conte
pear, Japanese persimmon, strawberry,
and other trees, grapes, figs, eto., bnt we
fear we have already trespassed too
muoh upon your valuable space, though
you would do astonished if von knew
how many there are who look eagerly
for information on Florida. It has been
our pleasure to already have ]>osted
many, and advised many to stay at
at home, their funds being too small.
How a Brig Was Hared.
The brig Louisa C si pel, Captain Park
er, of Yarmonth, N. S., arrived at New
port, after enoonntering the most extra
ordinary hurricanes and gales the cap
tain ever knew. He thinks the vessel
ftn/l all on board would have been lost
but for the fact that he had a large
cargo of fish oil.
The waves swept continuously over
the vessel and finally the deck load
began to slip, when he gave orders for
a number of small holes to be bored in
the casks containing the oil. While
this was being done the men engaged
were nearly swept overboard; but in a
few minutes the oil trickled on the deck
through the scuppers and into the ocean
and almost as soon as the oil reaohed
the water the waves were less boisterous,
and in less than a half hour there was
an unmistakable diminution in the force
and number of the waves that broke
over the ship. In an hour they bad
almost entirely subsided.
Tbe chief mate says he haa never be
fore seen oil used but he is enthusiastic
in tbe declaration that the fish oil saved
the brig, cargo and crew.

the theory that the intermarriage of

basis. They are mutes because they ore
deaf. The organs of speech and hear

husband is deaf from one canae; the
chances are that the wife is deaf from an
other cause. The children of such a

the tendency of nature to repair where
