Story of the Pieiades.

Edinburg Review: The discovery
Of the nebulOus condition of the
Pleiades has been an almost startling
illustration of what may be learned by
sheer perseverance in exposing sensi-
tive plates to the sky. Nearly thirty
years ago NJ. Tempel, an exceptionally
cute observer, detected a fiImy veil
thrown around and floating far back
from the bright star AIerope, and Mr..
Common saw with his three-footed re-
Hector February 8. 1880, some addi-
tiOna1 misty patches in the same
neighbOrhood. In general, however,
the keen lustre Of the grouped stars APP
peared against perfectly dark space.
Great then was the surprise of NJ. NJ.
Henry on perceiving q little spiral
nebula clinging around the star Mala

chemical than visual intensity. Were
its analysis possible 1t would hence
doubtless prove to contain an unusually
large proportion Of ultraviolet rays.
IT IS OF such eyauescent faintness that
its direct direction was highly improb-
able; but since it mas been known TO

+" Billy Cook Dead.

Billy" Cook, who left New York
with $500, 600 at the time of the Tweed
scandal, is dead in Paris. says the New
York Herald For years past he had
been an invalid. His sealed viii is in
in the hands of NJ Valois, Paris
lawyer.
When the Tweed ring came to grief
early In the 7Os, Cook was a clerk In
the department. of public works at a
salary of g, 600 a year, but lived at the
rate of at least ten times that amount.

entertained his friends in right royal
style.
Cook was very near to Tweed in
those balmy days, but as he never came
to trial the exact amount of his pilfer-
ings was never known. 1t was said
that he had realized at least $500. 900.
When the crash came he was Indicted

just before his departure he married

she accompanied him abroad. After
remaining in England for a time Cook
went to Paris, where he had since re-

Early in 1882 BILLY" returned to
this city, but not until the time fixed
by the statute of limitation had expired.
Soon after his arrival a nolle proseum

The Growing Of Ovstsrs.

In connection with the attempt about
to be made to plant and cultivate oys-
ters in ElliOtt's bay, says the Seattle
CIV. To Post-Intelligencer, it will prove
interesting to those concerned in the
experiment to know something of the
plans adopted else where and presume
bly, under substantially similar condi-
tlOns. a published report states that
the oyster growers along the upper At
Iantic coast have had a better season
this year than ever before. The whole
number of acres under cultivation in the
vicinity of Stratford and Bridgeport.
Conn, is IS, 507. The oyster industry
has been built up there mainly within
the last twelve or fifteen years, and not
Wi5hstanding the ravages of starish
and other enemies of the oyster, some
Of the principal growers have become
rich. The Connecticut laws reserve as
public grounds all oyster beds within a
mile of mainland, and any resident of
the state may gather shell-fish upon
these grounds, Private beds extend for
ten miles out into Long Island Sound,
and large fleet of small steamers is
kept constantly at work upon them the
year round.
In the spring the beds are covered
with shells to replace the oysters that
have been taken up, and later In the
season the boats are kept busy taking
up and destroying starfish and chang
ing young stock from one bed to an
other. Dredgers begin their operations
IN the fall, and then the grower reaps
MS harvest. Beginning at this time of
year, the whole force of steamers again
tackle the startsh. The oysters are
taken upi dredges, culIed over, all the
stars, wrinkles and drills picked out by
hand, and the oysters put back on new
ground. If steamer and its crew of
i've hands gather three bushels Of stars
IN day 1t is considered q profitable
employment and some of the boats take
up more than fifty bushels daily,
Oysters grow to marketable size ia
three or four years, according to
whether they are for foreign or home
consumption.
Oysters cannot be kept without a
knowledge of their habits. They feed
twice IN day of twenty-fOur hours, and
then just at that stiffness preceding the
turn of the tide. At no other time, ex-
cept when feeding, do they open their
mouths. When taken out of the water
they naturally attempt to feed at regu-
lar intervals, and as soon as their
mouths are open the liquor is all lost,
the air takes its place, and the oyster
IS covered with thick coating of slime.
This IS the first stage of decOmpOsi-
ton, after which the oyster is Of no
account.

MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.

Washington special: Quite early

Mexican pension act of 1887. There
We're quite a number of men enlisted
for the Mexican war who We're there
after assigned to duty in place of regu-
lars on the frontier and in the north
west and many of these men saw some
severe fighting. This class asked Gen.
Henderson to offer bill for their re-
lief, as they were denied a pension
under the wording of the act. He did
so, the amendment being as follows {:
And also those who, being duly en-
listed and hOnOrably discharged as
aforesaid, were assigned to and did duty
IN any state or territory in place of
regular troops who served in said Mex
ican) war.
There really seems to be no good
reason why these troops should not be
brought in under the general law. 1t

that these so called auxiliary troops
