oysters Thrivin. in California Waters.

Two years ago Max Ehring placed
forty sacks of Seeding Long Island
sound oysters in the water near the head
of the bay. Today the bed extends over
space Of 1900 acres, and the oysters
are large enough and in sufficient guam

Compared with the celebrated Saddle
Rocks they are one-quarter the size, and
with the world renowned Blue Point
they are almost identical in shape, size

A Rain of

The sudden appearance upon the
ground Of a considerable supply of an
edible substance astonished certain peo-
pie of Asiatic Turkey one day last Au-
gust. 1t came during Il very heavy
fall OF rain between Merdin and Diar-
bekir. and covered circular area some
six or eight miles in circumference.
Some OF it was gathered UP and made
into bread, which was of good taste and
very digestable. Specimens Of the sub
stance have since been submitted to
botanists who find that is in the form
of small grains. yellow outside and
white and mealy inside, and that it is a
lichen (Lecanora e%sculenta) known to
occur in some OF the arid regions OF
Western Asia. 1t was supposed that
the grains were drawn UP in Il water
spout and transported by the wind at i
considerable height in the atmosphere.
A French traveller has reported that q
similar fall OF the lichen occurred in
many parts OF Persia in 1928, when it
covered the ground to the depth of
nearly one inch, and was eaten by ami
mails and collected by the inhabitants.
Many other falls are said to have been
mentioned.

New for the Treasury.

New YORK, Feb. "a gentleman of
more than local prominence, who has
been long identified with public affairs
and is reputed to be thoroughly in
formed regarding the inside workings
of the present administration, and who
has just returned from Washington,
said to-day: Thursday afternoon last
President Harrison cabled General
New, consul general at London, to
come to Washington at once. 1t will
be remembered that when Harrison
was making up his cabinet New was
anxious to be appointed secretary of
the treasury, but his friends urged
upon him that he could not then afford
to sacrifice the consul g~eneralship for
secretary of the treasury. The con-
sui ~generalship would certainly
yield him $50, 900 annually, and,
besides. would give many legiti-
mate opportunities of increasing that
sum. Unless New decides that
the handsome income from the consul
generalship with its freedom from care
is better than the secretaryship with
its ~perplexities, leaving u the i'm
pulses OF ambition, he will probably
be the next secretary of the treasury.
1t is known that New has studied the
whole British question thoroughly
from an international standpoint. As
he is 4 man OF great discretion and
caution, besides thoroughly American,
his views will be OF the greatest i'm
portance to President Harrison. This
fact alone makes New the strongest
possible candidate for secretary of the
treasury"

Remarkable Effects of Heat on Steel.

Specimens of steel Of three different
qualities, depending on a varying pro-
portion of carbon, have been tested in
Germany TO determine the change in
their strength with change in tempera-
ture. Starting from four degrees below
Zezo Fahreheit, the test pieces dimin-
ished both in strength and percentage
of elongation up to q temperature be-
tween 400 and 500 degrees, then rose
to a maximum at about 600 degrees and
fell steadily beyond that point up to
!, 100 degrees, the highest temperature
tried. At 600 degrees the strength of
the weakest bar-supporting twenty
six tons at ordinary temperatures-was
increased "a per cen that OF the sec
ond bar-usually sustaining twenty
seven tons-and risen q per cent and,
that of the third bar-of an ordinary
strength of thirty-one tons-had gained
% Der cent.

A recent microscopical study by
Herr Schultz has revealed two kinds
of glands-mucus and poison-in the
skin of toads and salamanders. The
mucus glands are numerous over the
whole body; but the poison glands are
on the back and limbs, in groups about
the ears, and, in the ~salamander, at
the angle of the jaw. The mucus
glands are spherical, and appear clear
and CLASSY; while the poison glands
are oval, much larger, and have 4
dark granular look. The mucus has
no special smell, nor bitter or acid
tastes. On stimulating the poison
glands electrically, the corrosive liquid
is spurted out by the salamander in q
fine jet, often a foot long, but from the
toad it exudes less promptly, and spar
ingly in drops.

as evidenced by the following card pub

how he felt, and he responded by say

big to cry and it hurt too almighty bad
to laugh. Naturally, l am in something

ance and support TO him and am ready
to give both, frankly and honestly. For
the welfare of the state, hope Mr..
Hansbrough may be able to do more
than have done to advance its inter

be more successful-and to that end he
should have the hearty cooperation Of
every good citizen. And now, thanking

wish that harmony may characterize
this session Of the assembly, and that
its deliberations may result in the SUBJ

The Confederate Note.

The following poem has been widely
printed as waif without literary parent
age. The latest story about it was that
it was found in 1886 in Liberty county,
in the State of Georgia, written on the
back of Confederate note. The real
author is Major S. c. Jonas, of Missis-
sippi, who has for several years been a
confidential clerk to Hon. l.. @. G. La
mar. The poem was written in 1865
and is published in collection ofSouth-
ern verses:
Representing nothing on Gods earth, now,
And naught on the waters below IL,
As the pledge OF a nation that's dead and gone,
Keep 1t, dear friends, and show IT,
Show Il TO those who will lend an ear,
To the tale this trihe can tell,
OF liberty born OF patriots dream,
OF St0rm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor TO possess the precious ores,
Ana tt8bsa tt8b VI feasem a Z d 81 ii' tlie morrow.
The days rolled by ard the weeks became years
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin WAS so rare that the treasury'd quake
III dollar should drop In the till.
But the faith tina. was in us was strong, indeed
And our poverty well we discerned,
And this little check represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned,
We knew II had hardly value in gold,
Yet as gold each soldier received it;
II gaxed In our eye with promise to pay.
And each Southern patriot believed It,
But our boys thought little Of peace or pay,
Or OF bills that were overdue,
We knew If IL brought Us onr bread today
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep IL; II tells all our history over,
From the birth OF its dream to its last;
Modest, and borne Of the angel Hope,
Like our hope of success, II passed.
