The Capture Of Turkoman Wo-
men by the Persians.
From a Persian Letter.

The capture of Turkoman wo-.
men by the Persian Governors ia
one of the great crimes of Persian
rule in the districts east of the Cas-
! plan Sea. I"An'order," says Major
Butler, of the British army, sis sent
to one or more OF the Governors of
those. districts to the effect that 70
presents have been forwarded to the
Shah by .hem of late, and if they
do not Immediately dispatch sub
stantial gifts another Governor will
be found to replace them. Tho
distracted Governor, who has al.
ready robbed his people until they
have nothing left to take, wistfully
turns his eyes and thonghis to his
Iich neighbors-the rurkomans.
Forthwith he organizes an expedi.
tion, and sends forth spies to as
certain at what point are encamp-
ed the greatest number OF Turko-
man women aud horses and the
smallest number of men. This be-
ing ascertaineI, he starts at the.
dead of night, accompanied by his
murderous robbers, and swoops
down upon his unfortunate victims.
Those Turkomans who are able to
fight or likely to give any future
trouble aIe rutblessly murdered,
aud The old men, the boys, daugh-
ters and sisters are bound baud and
foot and brought back into Persian
territory. Then commences scene
disgraceful alike to humanity aud
and morality. The old women and
infants are separated from theyoung
and beautiful-and many of the
Tnrkoman women are very beauti-.
ful every point OF the latter ia
looked into and discussed by men
told off for that purpose, just as the
intended purchaser CT a horse truts
ont the animal to examine him.
Those possessing the best points
are sent to the Shah and other
great men at Teheran. Those with
some fault or other are kept by the
Governor himself and distributed
among his favorites, high or low,
his servants being always generous
ly treated in the distribution OF
human spoil. The horses and
other stolen property is likewise
disposed of. But what becomes of
old women and little ones These
are locked up until some Turkoman
relation can buy their release for
f20 or f25 each and if this hap=-
py arrangement cannot be effected.
they probably die of starvation.
could mention many startling in
stances of the above which have
recently taken place. There is II
regular season for these expeditions,

Wonders of the Oyster.

AT meeting or the American
Fish-Cnltural Association ia New
York Wednesday lecture Oh the
propagation of the oyster, illustrat-
ed by charcoal sketches, was given
by DIR. w. j. Brock, OF Johns
Hopkins University. European
naturalists are agreed" he said,
"that the oysters which are found
in European waters hatch their
eggs and carry their young tor a
certain time within the shell. This
may be true, but in that case they
are different from the American
oyster. Last summer l made a
series of experiments at Cresfield,
an oyster town in Maryland, to find
out the method Of propagation and
to attempt the impregnation of eggs
artificially. The result was that it
was found that American oysters
do not breed their young within
the shell, and that the eggs can be
fertilized artifcially i'll the same
manner as those of the fish. There
is no way to discover the male from
the female oyster except by the use
Of the microscope. The eggs Of
the oyster are inhnitesimal in size,
of different, irregular shapes, and
have "a clear spot in the centre,
can average oyster contains
frorr six to nine million eggs, and
one of a larger size may contain as
many as fifty millions. The plan
pursued in fertiIizing the eggs is to
chop the male and female oysters
mp together, and thus the fluids are
mixed and the imprrgnation is
made complete Immediately the
process OF development begins, and
goes on so rapidly that change
can be noted every fifteen seconds
In a very few seconds the embryo
is sufficiently formed to swim in
the water. The shells at first are
very small, and are not adjaccnt to
each other. They grow very rapid
iy, closing over the sides, and f.
nallv mite and torn the hinge. In
the short time OF twentr-four honrs
the young oyster is able to take
food, and from three days to
week it attains a perfect tarm.--
During its early life it is swim
ming animal.
cat one time had as many as
a half million of embryoic oysters
in watch crystal-at a certain
stage of development. An oyster
is able to reproduce its species after
attaining a years growth, and it is
marketable at the age of three
years. These experiments were SO
complete and successful that it left
no doubt in my mind that oysters
can be propagated artiticially with
success"
In answer to the question why
oystors were net tit tor use during
the months that do not contain the
letter "r," the Professor replied
that thoy were good when taken
fresh trcm the water. But during
the spawning season they become
easily spoiled on the account of the
eggs in handling them.
