EhB oyster probesm eentinaes'qo come in for
muck public consideration. Kr. Rice, former
ly Of the Coast Survey, and now of the Fisheries
Commission, Gays that the American oysters is
male and feneale, that it has stomach, a liver
and blood, sad is SO sensitive that if the oyster
shell is scratched ever SO slightly the animal
would k,ssw it and hasten under protection.
Oyster food, he says. consists of microscopic
animalsand microscopic plants. According to
Ills N4eW tuo waters OF new York
state would alone produce enough oysters for
the United States, with providence and care,
although he says that artificial food cannot be
given to oysters, and that if they are to grow
the food must exist and also the ebb and flow
conditions necessary to develop the animals
The complaint this year of thin or watery oys-
tiers comes from the cold summer, whereby the
animal not getting its usual summer
food, had to I'LL up its stomach with water.
With regard to Meco1 bay, that formerly sus-
tanned great deposits of oysters until they were
all dug up by rapacious boatmen, this fact he
regards as evidence that it still possesses the
nutriment and only needs some care of the
product
THERE is said to be an urgent call in England
as well as IN some parts of the United States,
Tor practical missionaries that can come we'll
recommended and are not afraid of hard work. :"
A case recently came up in the London assiszes
in which one, Betsy Wardle, was charged with
marrying George Chisnal while she was the
possessor OF another husband in the flesh She
did not deny the charge, but stated that number
enc sold her to number two for quart of beer,
and che had an impression that the proceeding
was customary and legal. She informed the
justice, in proof of The prevalence of this be-
hef, that Margaret Brown, who was present at
the second marriage, in fact gave the blushing
bride away, WIS fully informed as to the whole
affair and approved To this Margaret cheer
fully assented. The justice was impressed
with the gravity of this state of things
and felt that the time for reform WAS at hand
In fact he not only felt that Betsy must be pun
lshed but her punishment must be warning TO
friends and neighbors. He accordingly SEN
fenced her to Imprisonment, and to be kept at
hard labor for-one week.
