He had a hobby for collecting specimens
of minerals from the various districts he
visited, and when stationed at Hedi, In the
King River distrlct-a locality which was
formerly the hunting grounds of the Kelly

with young man named Edward Burke, a

hills, some miles away. Il pale blue stone 10

and In September, 1888. the two set Off to the
place together.
On arriving there they commenced their
search, but Burke speedily left Gascogne

wild horses he had come across. Gascogne
persevered in his search, and at last found a
large ontcrop of gray slaty rock in which there
was a blue vein. With his clasp-knife he
took out number of pieces OF the
blue stone, which Burke on returning
from his pursuit of the horses. recog-
Dzed the same sort he had picked up a
year before. No one at HEIDI could say what
the stone was. and even the Sandhurst School
of Mines ana the Secretary for Mines Mel

value. But GascOgne still had faith 10 the
discovery. and when lie visited Melbourne
later on The stone was thoroughly tested by an
Indian expert, who found 1t TO be the true
turquoise, Judgment which has since been
thoroughly confirmed.

THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
This Quiet and WeIl-Behaved Bivalve
Has Dangerous Foe.
10 !" DdHSSfUuo I UCs
Philadelphia Public Ledger

Tulldu6lpuld Ledger
The "borer," pest about the size of a small
strawberry, Is working great havoc among the
oyster beds In Delaware Bay and tributary
streams. Captain Moses Veale of the oyster
schooner White Lilly says that the destructive
powers OF the bOrer have been known TO
oystermen only a few years. He had followed
oyster digging nearly thirIy-fve years. and the
first borer he saw was about ten years ago, but
their ravages in the oyster beds were com para
lively unnoticed until last year.
Captain Veae said that last year the num-
Der OF dead oysters with holes made by borers
were alarmed. This year the work OF the
b0rerS has become a grave matter, and if Ii
continues many bays will become depopulated
OF oysters From one bed We dredged on this
trip we got 1900 baskets of oysters. but out
OF these only 200 were good, the dead oysters
having been killed by borers. peculiar
thing about the ravages of the borers is their
apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We
have found this TO be true several times this
season. We have found a bed of small oysters
almost entirely free from borers. Thi, bed
will be separated from another he'd of larger
oysters by 200 feet, but this latter bed will be
50 badly affected by the creatures that it will
hardly pay To work il.
From what can learn from oyster men the
destruction wrought by borers is more severe
IN Delaware Bay than in other places.
1.-The work of the borer this year makes
double misfortune for the oyster beds were
badly damaged by the big storm in August and
and September. Very few people who are not
In the oyster-dredgIng business know anything
OF the methods OF The bOrer. When l first took
notice OF its work secured several oysters Just
after the borer had fastened itself TO the shell.
When the borer faStenS itself i. holds on like a
leech and IL is with difficulty that 1t can be re-
moved with the fingers.
sometimes the borer fastens Itself TO the
oyster shell near the edge ana then the oyster
Is not killed. When the hole of the borer Is
made near the center of The shell the oyster is
attacked in Its vital parts and dies in three or
four days after the hole Is first made.''
Some OF the bed-owners near the Maurice
River have lost large sums OF money this year
Oh account of the bOrer. Thomas Munsey, who
mas number of large beds. Ii is said, will lose
$4,000. Several other men have lost nearly
as much through this unlooked-for calamity,
and number ot men have lost in the neighbor-,
hood OF $4,000 or $4,000. Ali oystermen say
there can be no way Of taking away The bofer
without destroying the oyster beds.

A MODERN BLESSING.
The Cheapening of Books One of the
TriumphS of the Century.
Boston Traveller.


With cheap books and good 10 be had almost
for the asking, il should be the aim of every
family to become the owner of at least a small
library of weselected works. There ought TO
be thousand where there are only dozen
homes IN which Shakespeare, Milton, Words

Dickens, Thackeray, Irving, Cooper, Haw-
tborne and score OF other famous writers are
hOnored inmates Wealth may be wanting 10
adorn a home: all but few OF the commoner
luxures may be absent, but hundred or two
good books can do a vast deal toward making
IFS inmates content with their life. Money care
fully expended upon such wares, provided they
are only used, is never wasted, and a benefit IS
made possible that broadens and deepeus with
the years.
The cheapening of books is one of the tri-
umphS Of this closing decade of the century
Never has the Invention of printing conferred
so many substantial blessings as 1t Is comforting
to-day. We do not forget that this invention is
sadly abused. and that there is much truth in
the saying that II has let loose the plaques of
Egypt upon US; but, II Egypt had Its plaques.
IT also had It's glorious, fertilizing Nile, and,
like the Nile which continues to flow down TO
the sea from the mysterious interior of Africa,

the common heritage of ever-increasing millions
OF human beings.
