Oyster Steam Packing.

Packing oysters at large establishments located
somewhere near the beds where they are grown,
is becoming an important business The Norfolk
Landmark describes packing house in that city
in which twenty six of the leading oyster packers
of Baltimore, are combined
IN average of thirteen hundred bushels of
steamed oysters are opened daily, and the average
number OF cans prepared for shipment daily is 49,,
600 two thirds of which are of the one pound size
From fifty to one hundred shuckers are employed
ID the raw department, and an average of 300
bushels OF oysters are opened daily These are
put in thirty gallon barrels for shipment a block
of ice weighing about thirty pounds being placed
in each barrel The oysters used by the company
come from the James, Rappahannock and Poto
mac Rivers and from Tangler and Deals Island
Sounds Twenty-Five cents is paid for oysters to
steam, and from thirty five to sixty cents per
bushel for shipment raw. There are three hoist
ing engines for unloading vessels. and the oysters
to be steamed are dumped from bushe buckets
into iron cars holding ten bushels each. These
cars are run along track to the steam box which
is OF sufficient dimensions to hold SIX of them at
once. The doors of the steam box are then closed
and the steam applied. The oysters are subjected
10 this steaming process for twelve minutes, when
doors at the other end Of steam box are opened
and the cars run into the shueking room where
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred men,
women and children, mostly coored. are employ
ed to remove the meats from the shells They are
then taken to the packing room, where after being
thoroughly washed. they are looked over very care
fully, the poor ones thrown aside and the balance
put IN one and two pound cans The liquor which
comes from the oysters is heated to the boiling
point, and the cans filled, after which they are her
metically sealed. The cans are next placed in a
cylindrical iron steam box and subjected to ten
perature OF 240 degrees for fifteen minutes. when
the cans are removed to the labelling and storage

The Centre of Population.

For several weeks an expert calculator has
been at work in the census office figuring out the
exact centre of population of the United States.
1t is not an easy task, as one can imagine who
gives the matter a little thought The whole ter
ritory is divided up into small squares, and the
population ascertalned for each square. This is
arrived at by consulting the population of each
civil district, township or ward. The squares are
made to balance against each other until com
mon centre is ascertained An expert calculator
has already been engaged more than a month on
this work, and another month will be required be-
fore the true "centre" is known. The work has
progressed far enough, however to show that the
centre will be very near Cincinnati certainly not
more than four or five miles from the business
centre of the city few weeks ago it was thought
the centre would make a final landing" upon the
hills which encircle Cincinnati to the north ard
but progressive calculations now indicate that il
will cross the Ohio river and establish itself on the
south side This is owing to an unexpected in
