issuing an order to the sanitary officers TO
strictly enforce the law concerning the re-

others are simply careless and do not re-

after necessity for such report has passed.
His orders to the sanitary INSPECTORS are
to Immediately arrest any physician who
fails to make the report within the speci-
fled time.
An examination of the water supply OF

No definite decision was reached, but the
tenor of the talk and about the only prop.
osition offered was to lay out the old hay
market, just east Of the market house. with
small streets, to be paved with brick or
cement, and rent the intervening spaces
to the marketers. This will probably be
done IN a short time. Mr.. Kramer said
that he thought 1t would be good idea,
inasmuch as the city had no money with
which to build, and would not have until

cember, 1896, to lease the ground to some
one who would build a market house for a
period Of five or ten years, with the UNI
derstandng that the city should purchase
the. building at the end of the term. Sew
eral legal questions stand in the way of
such action, and after they are fully dis
cussed, If 1t is found that the city could
legally adopt such course, the board will
again consider the matter.

immigration Statistics.

The official reports of immigration
to the United States show great
falling off. Arrivals for the last
fiscal year were only 81, 404, being
a decrease of 1856, 532 from that for the
twelve months next preceding, and
being much the smallest total Of the
last fifteen years, which have con-
stituted the period of most active
migration to this country. The ar
rivals during the latest fiscal year in
clude II, 900 from the United King
dom, SO, 300 from Germany, $4,000
from Italy, 81, 500 from Austria,
about as many from Russia, and
q, 600 from Sweden and Norway, no
other country sending as many as
5000, The decrease approximately
was 20, 900 from Austria, and 10000
each from Germany Italy, Great
Britain, and Sweden and Norway.
The fact of a decrease in the number
Of arrivals is noted for all the princi-
pal ports except for San francisco,
for which slight increase is re-
ported. The following table shows
the total ofimmigrants for each fiscal
year since the one ending in the

bamboo culture IN FIorIda,

Successful experiments have been
made in raising bamboo in Flor
ida," said Abe Walthen, at the
Grand. "There are several patches
near Fort Myers, and the plants are
all growing rapidly, sometimes as
much as foot in single night. The
importance Of this new industry can
not be Overestimated. For the build
ing Of light summer houses, or for
certain kinds of furniture, BAN boo
cannot be surpassed. Road vehicles
can be made out Of it, aud many
other things too numerous to men
ton. Clothing can be made from its
fiber, as can paper, and portion Of
it is most excellent as food. 1t is
the only plant known that furnishes
shelter, clothing and sustenance to
mankind, and its introduction here
will be of great public benefit. p

burdened ropes swing and vibrate in
the currents, allowing each oyster to
escape the accommodating sediment
and to secure an equal share Of the
volume of floating food, Their
growth is certainly rapid; an oyster
three-fourths Of an inch in diameter
in March, when suspended to the
rope, has attained by October about
four times its original diameter, and
has thus become marketable. Two
years and a half, however, is gen.
orally allowed to produce an oyster of

A rope fourteen feet in length will
rear about 1000 marketable oysters.
Another device used in giving oysters
their final growth is net covered
ring, which often supports 400 or 500
oysters.
Fusano and Lucrine Lake, near
Naples, are also oyster bearing loca-
tions, but decidedly unimportant as
compared with Tarente. The method
Of culture is the same as at Tarente.

WHY FISH BITE AT FLIES.
Some Say Out OF Curiosity Mt First and
Revenge Later.


Some Say Out of Curiosity at First and
Revenge Later.
Sir Herbert Maxwell's recent argu-
ment is to the effect that salmon bite
at the fly from curiosity, or from
mixed motives, not from hunger A
second rise may be "motlved" by
wrath at slight prick This we
think unreasonable. The more q
fish, a salmon, that Is, feels a prick,
the less chance there is Of his coming
again. The angler may be sensible
of tug, and yet may hook his prey
on a second venture; but then it Is
probable that the salmon never
touched the point. He got hold Of
the feather or Of the body Of the
hook.
The hypothesis of his Indignation
was invented years ago, in the case
of trout, by the Spectator, Some.
one argued that trout do not feel as
we feel, consequently that angling Is
not so cruel as angling for the editor
OF the Spectator would be. That
position Is demonstrable The mouth
OF the editor of the humane journal
Is not a grlstly, horny kind of sub
stance. The theorist went on to
urge that you may see trout feeding
In clear water, may put dry fly over
him, hook him, lose him, see him
feed again, hook him again, lose him
and never put him off his feed. This
is a matter Of fact Last summer
we had occasion to observe It, The
trout, twice hooked, never ceased to
feed; he only shifted his position by
about q foot and a half, and went on
eating natural flies. Now this cir
cumstanCe shows that the trout's
appetite was undiminished, though
he had twice felt the steel and been
dragged across the stream. :
The Spectator, however, urged that
the prcked fish, comes again, when
he does come, In anger and revenge.
Nonsensel He merely continues to
dine, taking such lloating flies as
recommend themselves to his taste
and fancy, Now, If you hooked the
Spectator with a white bait and
played him upstairs and downstairs,
and stirred him up under the table
and broke him on the banister, he
would not proceed TO a outlet, The
trout does Temaln feeding, normally
sometimes. The argument that he
snaps In anger may therefore be dis
missed. The nsh's motive is appe-
lite. He is looking for floating flies,
and he sometimes takes the artificial
for the real article. If hooked, he
often does not feel pain enough to
frighten him. Saturday Review.

Oyster Culture.

Oyster Culture.
Modern oyster culture seems to
have been derived from Italy. Be-
fore the visit Of M. Coste to Lake
Furara in 1853, but little had been
done in France to regenerate an in
dustry almost on the verge of extnc-
tion. The report of Coste pictured
the successes Of the cultural proc
esses Of Italy and strongly urged
their introduction on the French
coast causing the institution, under
the patronage Of Napoleon III, of a
series of experimental measures, out
of whose successes and failures has
grown one Of the most important Of
the coast industries of France,
Especially interesting is the fact,
already shown by Coste on evidence
furnished by pictured funeral vases,
that the processes in use to-day in
Tarente or in the lakes near Naples
are apparentlEt he very ones that the
Romans empl0JAlh as early as the
time OF Marius, The oyster stakes
of the Lucrine Lake, we are told,
represent in appearance and actual
position the very ones that Pliny
may have inQuisitively examined
little thinking that their use would
be handed down to posterity more
carefully than the volumes Of his
lifelong work.
Every one who has written of Ro-
man oyster culture has referred to
Sergius Orator as the inventor Of this
branch of industry. 1t would seem,
however, from evidence that has en-
dured 1000 years, that this wealthy
Roman represented little more than
a successful culturist Of his day, note
worthy, perhaps, because patric'an.
His prominence, too, as a successful
