OYSTER CULTURE.-The propagation of
the oyster has become so vast an industry
that the Government has determined to
enter into a scientific study of the matter.
The water in which the oysters grow is to
be analyzed at Washington, just as they
analyze the soil in which our crops grow.
By the analysis of soils the adaptability OF
certain crops to certain lands has been
determined and the science of agriculture
greatly enhanced. 1t is hoped this scientific
investigation of the waters of the Chesa-
peake will in like manner improve the
methods of oyster culture. We copy an
article from the Baltimore ,Su3 in another
column, giving fuller detail of the subject.
According to the statement, the waters
OF the Delaware are also to be examined.
with others on the Atlantic coast. 1t is to
be hoped so. So important an industry
needs every encouragement, but it has
Jagged in the Delaware. either from lack of
energy or lack Of adaptability of our waters
to grow the bivalves. The oyster beds of the
Chesapeake are worth far more than the
peach orchards of the Peninsula, and it
may be interesting to know why the Della.
ware beds are not also productive, like
those on the other side of the State. Nav.
be the analysis will solve the question.

The WAR News favor Russia now. Last
week we referred to terrible battle at q
place called Kars, in which the Turks were
badly punished. Later details only add to
the greatness of the Turkish disaster.
Their loss is now estimated at 10000
The next great struggle is expected to
take place at Plevna, the stronghold now
in possession of the Turks, in the Balkan
mountains.
Since General Todleben assumed control
of the Russian army thousands of sappers
have been at work day and night in
trenches leading to the stubborn defences
of Osman Pasha at that point. As these
approaches are not retarded by the Turks,
1t is generally conceded that the fall of
Pleyna is inevitable, and that will virtually

The ease with which some ready writers
can spin theories is curiously illustrated in
a recent article in the Reform, a journal
published at Hamburg, Germany. in which
the effect OF climate on the people of the
United States is discussed. The theory as
sumes that we are beginning in this country
to resemble the North American Indians.
The assumption is first made that our
people are chiefly of English descent. Our
SKINS have become dry. Our glandular
system has shrunk to minimum. Our
necks are long; our heads small. Our
cheekbones project. Our eye cavities are
deep. Our underjaws are full. In all these
particulars we are approximating the
Indian. Furthermore the Englishman is
heavily bearded, the American lightly, the
Indian not at all. Our hair is Strengthening.
cur extremlties are lengthening, so that
American gloves have to be made with
long, slender fingers. But this is not
all. The change extends to our manners
and customs; for instance, the Lynch law
OF the border and the polygamy of Utah
show the proclivity toward the ways of the
aborlglnes. Even the negroes here, we are
told, are yielding to the climate, and are
bleaching gradually What a pity it is
that the Indian chiefs failed to hear of all
TINS, when they were here recently at
Washington. Instead of hoping to be
civilized as white men are, they have only
10 wait and we shall become as they.

The London World tells why the Pope
recently dismissed his old physician, DR..
Pellagallo. 1t says: tone morning the
Pope, feeling good deal of soreness on one
OF his shoulders, drew Pellagallo's attention
to it. The doctor looked at the place. re.
cognized the presence of inflammation.
Jumped at the conclusion that erysipclas
had set in, and left the Vatican convinced
that the days of Plus X. were numbered.
Crossing the bridge of st. Angelo, he met
the correspondent of the Nazione, on his
way to the Vatican in search of material.
How is the Holy Father this morning?' he
inquired. The doctor shook his head. and
pronounced the word erysipelas. 'Dio mio.
then his end is nearT Exactly so;' and
the press man wheeled round, went direct
TO the telegraph Office, and wired the all.
important news to his paper The discom.
tort felt 10y the Pope was caused by nothing
worse than an incipient boil; but the
scare. having been traced to the doctor.

temper, and Pellagallo was diseharped.n

Frenchman is to be credited with 4
discovery that when mortar is likely 70
peel off, the tendency can be prevented by
substituting sawdust for hair in the original
mixture. lie had previously tried in vain
to make mortar that would stay in place
on a building exposed to damp winds near
The sea shore. After frequently renewing
the mortar in the old way, he tried the use
OF sawdust in place of hair, and was quite
successful. The sawdust had been thor.
oughly dried, and its coarscr portions were
removed by sitting The experiment is
well worth trying in this country, where
sawdust IS very much cheaper than hair,
