The Oyster In Europe.

The common oyster of Europe, sbun.
dant on the coasts OF Great Britain and
France, occurs in large banks or beds,
sometimes extending for miles, usually On
rocky bottoms; from about the middle Of
August to the middle of May they are
dredged from the bottom by kind Of
iron rake drawn by boat under full sail,
several hundred being taken az single
haul; these are transferred to ARTIFICIAL
beds OF parks, where they are preserved
for sale, continually growing in size and
improving in flavor. The growth OF the
oyster is slow, II being only as large as
half-dollar at the end of four or SIX
months, and twice that size at the end Of
a year; on artificial beds the growth 10

Diphtheria In the Thumbs.

AMONG the various freaks Of that terri.
bic disease, diphtheria, which has made
such ravages among the children in this
city within the past few months, Is one
lately developed in the case OF little
daughter OF Mr.. James Scull, Of West
Side avenue. The child is about five years
of age, and was taken sick with diphtheria
about five weeks ago. A day or two
previous TO the attack she had broken the
skin on the back of both her thumbs DR..
T.. w. Pyle. the attending physician,
found the child had ali the symptoms of
diphtheria, with the exception of the
formation of membrane in the throat.
But this membrane was formed on the
back of each thumb, over the places where
the skin had been abraded. The doctor,
becoming interested in this strange freak
OF the disease, removed the diseased mem.
branes from the thumbs, when others i'm
mediately succeeded in the same places.
He then examined the membrane as IL APP
peared ON the child's thumbs, under the
microscope, and found Ii 10 be in every
particular like that which, in this disease,
usually forms in the throat or In some of
the air. passages. He took membrane
from the throat Of another little daughter
Va MI. ctuii, Wuo WIS tutu AlGk huu Has
since died with diphtheria, and, com
pairing IL with that taken from her sisters
thumb, found them precisely alike. The
little girl who had been the subject of this
singular development as the disease ad.
yanced from one stage To another. still
continued to show symptoms Of diphthe-
ria, having paralysis Of the soft palate and
lower extIemities, being unable TO either
move or speak for several days. She a,
length began TO grow convalescent, how.
ever, and Is now nearly recovered, being
again able to walk about and talk the
same as before her sickness, while the
sores' on the back of her thumbs are en-
tirely healed up. DR.. Pyle is of the opin-
Ion that the course taken by the disease in
this case is strong argument in favor of
the opinion which many medical men
hold that diphtheria Is not wholly, If il is
indeed chiefly, a disease of the throat and
organs OF respiration. Jersey CITY (N.J.)|
