Shell Fish as EuaL.

Some of the different varieties OF shell
fish are considered choice articles of
food. They have nutritive value lit.
tie less and somewhat similar to fSl, but
are not 50 easily digested.
Oysters are the most easily digested OF
this class Of food; next como Holsters
and crabs, and lastly mussc!s.
For iuvaIids and dyspeptics this class
OF food should be excluded from the
diet, with the exception of oysters, and
those for person of weak digestion
saou!d be eaten raw, or merely walmed
through, as cooking renders the oyster
tough aad more difficult Of digestion.
'fhe raw oyster agrees with almost
every ole, although few fud themselves
obliged TO discard tbs hard part, eating
only the soft part. The hard part IS
muscle, which binds the two hslf shells
together, an6 the soft is the liver.
Tae oysters Of America and Europe
differ greatly. European oysters are
smaller and have coppery favor. Our
Southern oysters are larger than the
Northern. They are dredged along the
coast and transferred to oyster beds in
creeks close to shore, where they fatten.

The lobster and crab are not suitable
:or an invalid or one Of weak stomach.
Oi the two, though, the lobster is less
likely to hurt. The flesh in the claws is
he most digestible portion. 1t is more
lelicate than that in the tail, which is
irmer. The soft part in the she'll, which
is the liver, is much more likely to do
harm than the claws. The gills, which
are sometimes called "dead mems I'm
gers" should be avoided, but are really
not poisonous, as they are sometimes de-
clared to be.
Crabs should be carefully cleaned be-
fore cooking. They often unexpectedly
disagree with healthy stomach. This
is probably due to garbage, on which
they feed. The purchaser should be

The diving warrior and his box did
not outlast the great galleys they had
tried to sink, and the history of these
boats passes over two thousand years to
the American Captain Bushnell, OF the
Revolutionary army, and his diving boat.
This was tiny, walnut-shaPed vessel,

crew of one man. The boat sat low IN

it at night to get near its intended vic

BoF fhe Ccssr Became Salt

Professor Edward Hill read paper
before the Victoria Institute last evening
on "How the Waters of the Ocean Be-
came Salt, From an inquiry into the
character and aainities Of the organic
forms of past geological ages, the con-
clusion was justified that tho waters
of the ocesn must have been salt from
very early geological times, but 1t oy no
means followed that they were az fully
saline as those Of the present day. There
we're two ways By which they might &C
count for the salinity of the ocean
waters from very early periods of geo
logical time. First, by surposing that
the primeval waters were saturated VITA
acid gases which were held in suspen-
sion 10 TIE vapor surrounding tie IN
candescent globe; or, secondly, that the
salinity resulted from process resem-
bling that by which salt lakes OF the
present say had been formed. he
thought that they must concur with
Doctor S:e1rg Hunt that from some
cause or other chlorine largely aoounded
in the waters of the prime7al ocean, as
by far the greater proportion OF the salts
were chlorides, and chlorine was but
very slightly represented in river waters
at the present day.
From the examples Of closed lakes
they could determine the process OF
ssliniicstion with the utmost certainty.
