OYSTER D1eEsr1oN.-In q COM
munication to the PHILADELPHIA
Medical and Surgical Journal, DR..
Charles L. Dana, of New York,
points out some prevalent errors
concerning oysters. It has been
said that the oyster, on account Of
its hepatic disstase, has the power
Of digesting itself. In q series of
experiments, DR.. Dana has given
the mollusk some excellent oppor-
tunities of doing SO, but it declined
to digest even its own liver. As to
the superior digestiblity Of raw
oysters over cooked, it was found
that when boiled for q short time.
Or roasted in the shell. they were
nearly If not as rapidly dissolved
as the raw. Cooking, in fact. loos-
ened the muscular fibrils, thus al
lowing the peptic juices to pene-
trate. Referring to the current be-
lief that oysters will dissolve in ale
while they become hard in brandy,
and hence that ale should be taken
with oysters instead of liquors, DR..
DINA denies the solvent powers of
ale. and demonstrates the fact that
ale hardens the oyster even more
: IAN brandy does

An IMMENSE MErEoR.-A dis
patch from Williams Rancho, in
Brown county, Texas, dated April
16. says Hsge o 's.ooc Sunday
morning a great meteor fell in the
outskirts Of the town, killing sew
eral head of cattle, and destroying
she dwelling house of Martinez
Garcia, q Mexican herdsman, who,
with bis family. consisting of his
wife and five children, are buried
beneath the ruins. In its descent
the meteor resembled q massive
ball Of fire, and the shock was SINH.
lar to that Of an earthquake. It ie
still hot. It is embedded in the
earth probably one hundred feet,
and towers above the surface abou:
seventy feet. and will cover about
one acre Of ground. The corcns-
sion was terrific, nearly every win.
dow in town being shattered. The
people we're hurled instantly from
their beds, and goods in stores were
thrown from the shelves. No lives
are lost, as far a. known. except
the Mexican herdsman and his fam
lily, although several buildings fell
to the ground. The cattle fed in
terror in every direction. The air
was filled with sulphurous gas. The
widest confusion prevailed, as it
was long time before anybody
could even venture to decide what
it was. This is the largest meteor
that has ever fallen. and it has al
ready been visited by many people.
It will doubtless continue to at.
tract attention for months to come.
It has occasioned great excitement.
not only here but in the surround.
ing country.
