Oysters SAID to Promote nearrn.

Raw oysters before breakfast are now
indulged in by many people who believe
this process promotes and enhances
health. This is belief in which some
medical men coincide. 1t is related of the
celebrated DR. Leroy that he was in the
habit of swallowing two dozen raw oys-
ters every morning before breakfast, and
used to say to his friends, presenting them
with the shells: "There, behold the foun-

the fr-wood, the flames, stirred by
westerly wind, were already advancing

clear of the high road before we could

Coal Formed in the Arctic Region,

Commenting on Lieut.. Greely's dis
covery of coal within the Arctic Circle
in Greenland, Mr.. w. Mattieu Williams
expresses himself as dissatisfied with the
prevailing notion which demands sub
tropical climate for the formation of
carboniferoUs deposits. He has himself
described the deposition Of coal that is in
actual progress at the present time in
Norway, within degrees of the Arctic
Circle, and believes that similar deposits
may be found much farther north. No
very violent alteration Of climate, there
fore, need he assumed TO explain the
