Ambos' Mammoth Oyster Bed.

Wilmington river from in front of the
center of the village Of Warsaw, or
Thunderbolt, to a point half a mile
below the town is one vast
bed Of oysters. The oysters are the prop
erty OF Mr.. Henry Ambos, and represent an
investment Of $4,000 and the work of a
number Of years. The best of the oysters
are in the deepest part OF the channel of the
river, thirty 70 forty feet below the surface
and beyond the reach of tongs, and there
fore other means have to be
resorted 60 to get them. Any
afternoon men can be seen at
work on q datboat opposite Ambos'
wharf getting the oysters TO the sur
face. For this purpose an iron rake,
With drain Tag attached, is lowered to the
bottom Of the river by rope and then pulled
aboard by means OF q windlass. The result
OF each haul is from three TO four bushels
OF oysters. IL takes about ten minutes to
put out aud get in the rake. The oysters
thus secured are culled aboard the hatboat
the small ones being thrown back into the
river, and those that are large and
merchantable sent ashore in a small boat
TO be opened, or shipped in the shell, as
may be ordered. MIR. Ambos is an old oys-
ter man and was a strong opponent OF the
oyster law when IL was first proposed to
protect oysters and promote their cultivR-
ton, but like a sensible and shrewd man
that be lie, he accepted the situation and went
to planting oysters himself. Now ne thinks
the law is blessing to the oyster men and
to oyster consumers, and says that in a
few years there will be more and better
oysters than ever before, aud that they will
be easier to get and, therefore, less costly
Mr.. Ambos is an intelligent and enthusiastic
oyster planter, and he looks for great bene-
fits to accrue TO the county by that pros
porous industry.

Littlefeld said that was wicked, but
asked the workmen to light their pipes
and smoke near the pump, saying that
would do as well as shutting off the
air. They didn't all see why, but they
did it. A pump sucks up everything in
the air at its orifice, and very shortly

at the surface very sick and frightened

Life on the Planet Venus

1t will be remembered that about
two years ago the famous Italian as
tronomer, Schiaparelli, announced that
he had discovered that Venus, which
is a world very slightly smaller than
ours, makes only one turn on its axis
In going once around the SUM- 1t would
follow from this that on Venus there
is no succession of days and nights as
upon the earth, but that perpetual day
reigns on one side of the planet and
perpetual night on the other. In other
words, If Schiaparelli is right, Venus
always presents the same face to the
sun, just rs the moon forever turns
the same hemisphere towards the
earth.
The inhabitants of the sunward side
Of Venus, then--if there be any-never
see the sun set, while the inhabitants
Of the other side never see the sun at
all, unless they visit the opposite hemis-
phere Of their globe.
or course. no one knows whether
there are inhabitants upon Venus or
not, but we do know that Venus has
an atmosphere, and that in its atmos-
phere watery vapor exists and clouds
tloat, and that upon the surface of the
planet the force of gravitatlon is not
very different from that which Ii mani
tests on the surface of the earth. Ac-
cordingly, there are some reasons to
be urged In behalf of the opinion that
Venus may be an inhabited world
But if one-half of Venus be buried
in endless night while the other half
lies glaring beneath never-setting
sun, it is evident that the inhp bitants
of that planet must have exl fences
that would be most strange and try
ing to us. So the question whether
Venus really does rotate on its axis
once in 225 days, the period Of its revo-
luton around the sun, derives an add
ed interest from the consideration that
the planet possibly has inhabitants.
The older observations indicated that
Venus rotated in between twenty three
and twenty-four hours, giving 1t days
and nights about equal to those of the
earth. In order to settle the question
it has recently been proposed to apply
the spectroscope. 1t Is known that in
the spectrum Of a celestial body which
is rapidly approaching the earth the
spectroscopic lines are shifted towards
the blue while in the spectrum of
fast retreating body the lines are shift
ed towards the red.
The principle has been used in meas
uring the rate of the suns rotation.
The lines are shifted towards the blue
on the eastern and towards the red
on the western edge Of the sun, and
by measuring the amount of shifting
the rate of rotation is found. 1t is easy
to see that the same method may be
applied to find out how fast Venus re-
wolves on its axis.
Every one who watches the glorious
evening star growing brighter and
brighter in the sunset sky during the
coming months will certainly be eager
to hear the latest news from the as
tronomers who are trying to find out
whether Venus has successive days and
nights like the earth or has only "a day
side and a night side.-Youth's Com
panion.
