Fertility of the Oyster.

Prof. William K. Brooks of Johns Hop
kins University. in his valuable book on
1.-The OYSTER" gives some figures showing
the remarkable fertility of the animal:
Our oyster is so prolific that. if all the
eggs were to be fertiIiZed and were to live
and to grow to maturity, they would fill up
the entire bay in single season. Far from
being an eXaggeration. this statement is
much short of the truth. An average
Maryland oyster of good size lays about six
teen million eggs; and. if half of these were
to develop into female oysters. we should
have. from a single female. eight million
female descendants in the first generation.
and in the second eight million times eight
million. or 81, OOO, 900. 900. 900.
In the third generation. we should have
eight million times this. or 512. 900. 600. 000,-
600 900, 900.
In the fourth. 4,O96. 600, 900, 600, 900. OOO.-
600. 900 900.
In the fifth. SO. 900. 900. 900, 900. 600, 900, =
900. 900, 900, 900. 600 female oysters, and as
many males. or. in all. &c. 900. 900, 900, OOO,-
900, 900. 900. 900, 900. 900. 900.
Now. If each oyster fill eight cubic inches
of space. it would take 5000. 900, 900. OOO,-
900 900. 900. 600, 600, 900. 900 to make mass
as large as the earth; and the fifth genera
ton of descendants from a single female
oyster would make more than eight worlds,
even if each female laid only one brood of
eggs. AS the oyster lives for many years.
and lays eggs each year. the possible rate of
increase is very much greater than that
shown by the figures.
The waste of oyster eggs. through lack of
fertilization. is simply uncomfortable; but it
is possible to fertilize them artifcially by
mixing the eggs and the male cells in a
small quantity of water. where they are
certain to come into contact with each
other. In this way, about 90 per cent of
the eggs may be saved and made to produce
young oysters; and L have had at one time
in small tumbler of water a number of
active and healthy oysters. greater. many
times. than the whole human population of
Maryland.

TWO OLD FAITHS.
(Rept TT for Glass F BY e. r.


In PFC senting this my initial report kindly ask
the indulgence Of my fellow Chautauquans.
To begin with. must confess that the study of
the 1.-TWO Old Faiths" to me, is not interesting
as would desre Still. it presents some food for
reflection. inasmuch that it rem inds what
grand and glorious religion is our own. My report
treats modern Hinduism distinct from the
ancient or Buddhism. Here and there in the
modern we find slight trace Of Christianity, but
it is so faint as to be hardly apparent. Yet in
comparing the modern with the ancient or Vedic
s, stem one is surprised at the change. In fact
the difrerer between the two is very wide-"so
wide indeed that the two religions have little or
nothing in common beyond the Vedic texts and
formula which still remain in use." l shall not
weary you b. going into details in giving you the
names of the different deities, their ceremonies,
rites, etc but will confine myself to brief de-
scrption of Hinduism and the caste system as
outlined in job uson's Cyclop@dia.
In modern Hinduism there is little allu.
sion to the d.vinities which occupied the minds
of the old Aryans or ancient Hindus.
Some port on of the ceremonial of the Vedas
still survive in the domestic Observances of the
Brahmans and in their obsequai offerings. On
approaching maturity every Brahman is taught
one celebrated verse of the Vedas, which is the
only one he may learn but this is repeated in all
his devotions. One of the books of modern Hin.
duism is called Brahman, the contents of which
consists of details of ceremonies, origin and
meaning of rites, all of which generally weari
some Another of their writings gives evidence of
high cast of thought. treats of Hindu philosophy,
casting aside rites and ceremony to make "guesses
at truth" Another of their writings is the Code
of Menu, in which "a future state of reward and
punishment is clearly recognized and the doctrine
of transmigraton is distinctly enunciated." Menu
recognizes Brahma the creator. but not as the One
Supreme Being, but merely as the creative
energy, which energy is withdrawn after the
world he has produced has endured for long ages
after which he himself returns to the supreme
essence from whence he came. The caste system
as recognized by Menu consists of four different
classes or castles. The first is the Brahman. ''The
Brahman according to Menu, is the chief of all
created beings, kings inferior to him, and
must show him respect; his person and property
are guarded by the severest law sin the world and
by denunciations of tremendous punishments in
the next" Yet with all of this the Brahmans life
was not one to be enyied. There was no luxury
and ease for him, all his days we're devoted to
study, devotion, in acquiring and mparting a
knowledge Of the holy books, undergoing the
severest penances, one of which was to dwell In
the woods, "divest himself of all feshly Injuries
and comforts, to despise all trials Of heat and

OHAUTAUOUA,
THE MEETING LAST SUNDAY.


Those who have or ever had any doubts con-
in this institution should have been in attendance
at the meeting which the members of the Pierian

Out of the forty members the roll, thirty-nine

other poor fellow who was prevented by duty from
responding TO the roll-call sat in his boudoir all

him Immediately after the meeting and found him
endeavoring to draw what comfort he could from

cold wet and dry, to live the coarsest fare and
to mortify the body in every way clog and
burden to the SOUL Such was considered the
ideal life of Brahman, which however few
sought to attain. The Kshatra, or second caste,
were charged with the duties of government and
war; they were entitled to honor and obedience,
but were considered far inferior to the Brahman.
The vasya. or third class, was to carry on trade
and agriculture. to perform sacrifices through the
Brahman, and to bestow aims. The fourth, or
servile, castles whole duty service of others,
especially the Brahmans. Ingenuity almost
hausted itself in the effort to describe the veness
of the Sudra, a being 80 base that Brahman
could not receive gift from him. and even in
the extremity of hunger could accept nothing
more than little dry grain. But the degradation
of the Sudra was only religious. Though he was
to serve he was not slave; he could choose his
own master. and was entitled to payment He
could accumulate wealth and acquire property.
and he often became rich and sometimes rose to
power. The mixed Glass; are fully recognized
by Menu: their social status is declared well
the course of life to which their degraded birth
has called them.
In addition to the distinctions just mentioned
governing this system. there are many others.
which neither our authors nor the cyclopedia mem
tion In referring to the caste system our authors
say. 1.-The most prominent and characteristic of
Hinduism is caste. The power of caste is as IRA
tional 1t is unbounded; and it works almost I'M
mixed evil. The touch-even the shadow of a low
caste man pollutes. The scriptura precept. Honor
all men, appears to true Hindu infinitely absurd.
He honors and worships COW; but he shrinks
with horror from the touch of Mhas or Mang.
Even Brahmans, if they from different
provinces, W i'll not eat together. Thus Hinduism
separates man from man; it goes on dividing and
still dividing; and new fences to guard imaginary
purity continually added
will conclude by quoting De Tocqueville: Him
dusm is perhaps the only system of belief that is
worse than having no religion at all"

The gradual return to the honest
methods inaugurated by the republic
cans, is gratifying to every patriotic
citizen. Registration of voters and
more careful and intelligent exercise
of the voting privilege will be ex-
tended, in time, to the rural popula.
ton.

He will find himself removed by

He will discover that the day of the
Mexican politician has grown shorter
as the summer has advanced, and in
fact, instead of being the main factor
in our local politics, he must take pot
luck with everybody else.
Mayor Protein scnreIner has borne,
with patience, the weight of RESPONSE
bility left upon his shoulders, while
Col. E. P. Claudon has run the

officials have earned a trip to the

II we had a mayor that would stay
at home, and make it his business, rs
it is his duty, to see to it that the city
ordinances are enforced,-thata all the
under servants of the people did their
duty; there would be less cause OF
complaint.
The charter committee who were 80
