Clyde street last night at 6:l5. but before
the company had barely started for the
fire second alarm was rung. and soon all
three of the River Point fire companies
Were on their way to what was supposed
TO be a serious confiagration. Upon ar
irving at the house it was found that the
chimney had caught fire and had been put
out by the liberal use of rock salt and a
few pals of water. The members of the
different fire companies were quite indig-
nant last night over the second alarm

The other day heard somebody speak
Of oysters hanging upon the branches
Of trees on the borders of Chesapeake
Bay
That sounds like q fairy tale. thought
] t. myself
/ determined 10 investigate. So said: /:
II always supposed that oysters grew
under water never knew they hung in
clusters ON tree branches like apples.
Curious sort Of oysters those must he
which grow on trees along the banks Of
the Chesapeakel"
Chesapeake Bay has the finest kind Of
oysters, said the Talking Man. The
reason they are sometimes found grow
ing ON tree branches is this: The spawn
of the oyster floats about in the water,
tossed by wind and waves. 1t has the
quality Of attaching itself firmly to any
solid substance it touches. Sometimes il
might be the bottom of ship, a rock, or
a tree branch. You know the bottom OF
a ship often needs scraping on account Of
the shell fish sdhering to it,
snow the branches Of trees often droop
into the water. They do it along tho
borders of the Chesapeake the same as
the bank of any river or bay. AT high
tide such branches will be covered with
water. and when the tide goes back, tho
branches come to the surface again
"The spawn sticks on those boughs
when they are beneath the waves In a
few days the tiny oysters begin to de
velop, and before long, at every low tide,
the branch can be seen hanging out. with
little oysters hanging all over it.
Sometimes branch which is often un-
der water will be nearly covered with
small oysters. 1t looks very odd, but it'1
common enough sight down there.
Crow They don't grow very large
to be sure. To attain perfection an oyster
must be always under water, and these
hang half the time out of it. When they
are exposed too long TO the hot sun. they
die. Their weight often causes them to
fall off.
Little oysters are sometimes trans
planted. Not off tree branches, but from
the beds at the bottom of the bay.
They are planted in oyster beds in other
places, where, in a couple of years, they
grow to maturity"
1T sounds funny to talk of picking
oysters off trees, said /, "or even of see
ing them grow there.
Funny enough But they do grow
there. I've seen it lots of times, said
the Talking Man. "That's the way queer
stories get about. Somebody hears a
thing and does not understand the sense
Of it, And most people never stop 10 ask
what it means. They either repeat tho
story for marvel, or say they don't be-
lieve it. !"

A Fine Prisoner.

Emperor Francis Joseph OF Austria
was arrested at Munich recently, for the
tirst time in his life. while visiting his
daughter. Archduchess Gisela who is
married TO Prince Leopold Of Bavaria,
and who resides in that city. His mai,
esty, who was not in uniform, happened
TO walk on the grass while crossing the
garden to the palace, when he heard Q
gruff voice cry:
Are you going to get of of that OF
not?"
The emperor, not supposing that the
remark was addressed TO him, walked on
until he was roughly seized by the arm
~ one-armed park guard
"Am to speak twice2" the guard dc
manded furiously. you're arrested.
Come right along TO the guard house!"
The emperor, with an inward smile,
accompanied his captor. AS they passed
ilong, the spectators, astonished at the
extraordinary spectacle, uncovered their
neads; but the old guard was too angry
to notice this, and it was not until they
met Baron Malsen, one of the dignataries
Of the Bavarian court, that the stubborn
Did fellow realized what he had done.
Your majesty, I" exclaimed the baron,
what does this mean 2"
On hearing the word majesty, y the
guard dropped the emperor's arm and
began to tremble from head to feet.
"That's all right, said the emperor
laughingly. "You have only done your
duty, though not in a very gentle way.
Have you been a soldier?"
