SonIlon Fisheries.

Fishing for scallops and opening
them is a great industry at New Suf-
folk, Long Island, on Peconie Bay
from fall until Spring. Scallops from
this locality are rated the best of those
brought to market. In good season
10000 gallons of "eyes" are shipped
from this place. About one dozen
boats, fully manned, engage in drag
ging for scallops, which are frequently
on the move, and as it is well known, do
nos lie in their beds as do oysters and
clans. The catch is from twenty to
one hundred bushels day.
Along the shore at New Suffolk
twelve houses are built, where night
and day during the season scalops are
opened, and packed for shipment. The
"eye" is the only part eaten;
the "rim'' is used for fertiliz-
ing. and the shells are sold
for depositing on oyster beds
serving the purpose of attaching the
"spot" where oysters spawn. Fifty
thousand bushels of shells are annually
disposed of.
The scallops are usually opened by
women and girls, who become very ex-
pert at the business. The houses
where this work is carried on are
made comfortable, so that many of the
woman workers bring babies and
cradles. and care for their offspring
while opening bivalves. The scenes

New Houses ON Old Sites.

There are, no doubt, many persons
now living in Rome who have beneath
them the residence of some gentleman
of the Middle Ages, under which, per-
haps, is the home Of a Roman family
of the time of the Caesars; and this
may have been built upon the founda
tions of another house, which was
considered good place to live in some
five or six hundred years before. It
must be a very satisfactory thing,
when one is going to build house, to
find beneath the ground some good
substantial walls which will make ex
eellent foundations. 1t very often
happens that these remains of ancient
buildings are built of larger stones,
and are frmer and more solid than the
houses which are erected upon them.
There is another side, however, to this
matter. and the remains of old buildings
are frequently very much in the way
of those who wish to erect new houses,
for it does not always occur that the
ancient walls are in the right places, er
Of a suitable kind, to serve as fOunda-
tions for the modern building. Then
they have to be dug up and taken out
which is a great labor. There is q
handsome American church in Rome.
