THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
Great Destruction in the Delaware Ba Beds by the " BOrer."

 Great Destruction in the Delaware Bay Beds by the BOrer."
 The ssborer," a pest about the size of d small strawberry, is working great havoc among the oyster beds in Dela- ware bay and tributary streams, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster schooner White Lily, says that the de structive powers of the ''borer" have beer known to oystermen only few years. He had followed oyster digging for nearly thirty-five years, and the first ''borer' he saw was about ten years ago, but their ravages in the oys- ter beds were comparatively unnoticed until last year.
 D Capt. Veale said that Hast year the number dead oysters with holes made by bore $ in the shell became so great that r.ystermen were alarmed. This year che work of the borers has become a :trave matter, and if it continues rany bays will be depopulated of oys- Cers. From one bed we dredged on this trip we got twelve hundred baskets of oysters, but out of these only two hun dred were good, the dead oysters hay ing been killed by borers 4 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 bed of small oysters all most entirely free from 'borers.' This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by two hundred feet, but this latter bed will be so badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it.
 ''From what I can learn from oyster men the destruction wrought by borers is much more severe in Delaware bay than in other places.
 '.The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, for the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and September. Very few people who are not in the oyster dredging business know any thing of the methods of the borer. When I first took notice of it's work l secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened itself to the shell. When the borer fastens itself it holds on like leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the fingers.
 sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell near the edge and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the borer is made near the center of the shell the oyster is at tackled in it's vital parts and dies in three or four days after the hole is first made"
 Some of the bed-owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. All oystermen say there can be no way oi taking away the borer without de stroying the oyster beds.

old Mexican Mines.

Whenever a cave is newly discovered in New Mexico or Arizona the finders first hope is that he has unearthed an old Spanish or Mexican mine, but this seldom or never has proved to be the case. Generally these holes in the mountains are natural caves in lime stone or sandstone formations, but sometimes they lie between walls of hard rock, which perhaps contain mineral deposits, indicating that the primitive civilized Indians may have dug their way in following a soft streak in search of tale to use in pot tery making, with 10 thought for precious metals. Stalactites, snowy white, hang from theirroofs, and where mineral water has pereolated these crystallizations take on gorgeous me tallic hues. Human bones are some times found in these caves and other evidences of human work or former occupancy. The Coffee cave and Rob- inson's cave, in the Black range, in southern New Mexico, have been eX- plored for several hundred feet, and other large caves in that region remain to be explored.

Telephones in Sweden.

In 10 other country of the world is the telephone in so general use as in Sweden, and in no other is the service so cheap and at the same time so per feet. It is under government control and the rates are fixed by the govern ment. A few weeks ago a new line was opened between Stockholm and Christiania by King Oscar, who took occasion to express the hope in the first message to the Norwegians that the line would tend to draw the two coun- tries into closer. union and aid in over coming the desire of the Norwegian radicals to break up the existing rela- tions. It is now proposed, by means of 2 submarine cable, to connect the Nor wegian and Swedish capitals with Co penhaGen,

LITERARY LABOR.
Value of Early RisinE and Danger of
 Overw or3zing.

OverW0r<inS.
 To make literary work healthy is a simple process, depending on the mode in which each day is allotted to it, and also on the mode in which the body is physically trained and disposed to carry it out, writes Sir B. " Richard son in the Asclepiad. The first grand point is to begin the day well by early rising. The universal experience of the wisest men of all ages is in favor of the habit of getting up early in the morning. The practice is closely con- nected with length of life. It is also closely connected with happiness and activity of life. With the early hours of the morning literary work is always most fruitfully associated, when the habit of early work is once acquired. Thoughts are freshest then; the ar engagement of thoughts is clearest then; memory is lzeenest then. Thus thought, method and memory conspire together, and labor D6cOIn6s pleasure. Make the sun your fellow-worllnan
 In the work of the day of the literary life nothing is so wholesome as to carry out the work without strain. There is always some little difficulty in getting into harness, but, this mas tered, work becomes easy enough. Samuel Johnson records that he could always work when he was forced to it; and Miss Martineau tells us that after the first quarter of an hour she found everything easy. With healthy minds this experience is common. There is however, 8 danger connected with il that must not be forgotten; that dan ger is the too long continuance of the labor after it has become easy. With some this danger is serious. The work is so fascinating, the time goes as ii hours were minutes. and the physical hours are, as it were, stolen upon. and robbed outrageously.

TIE WEIGHT OF 4 TON.
Attorney Thomas, of Washington. En-
 Iiei,tels fhe Efstricf.

EgfiteDS the District.
 In the last district appropriation bill there appeared an item allowing 50 cents per ton for the removal of gar bage in steel tanks, says the Washing ton Star. Shortly after the law went into operation a question arose as to what number of pounds constituted a ton. The contractors claimed that 2,000 pounds was the legal ton and made returns on that basis. The first auditor, however, was not disposed to pass the account until the commission CTS explained the definition of the word ton"
 Attorney Thomas was called upon to give his opinion of the matter and re- turned the papers with the following opinion:
 ''The act does not specify the num- Der of pounds which shall compose a ton and hence we must go outside for definition. Among other definitions of the word ton given by Webster is the following: The weight>of twenty hundred gross or 2,24O pounds. Ia the United States the ton is commonly esti- mated at 2,0CO pounds; this is some times called the short ton The law in relation to the collection of duties On imports prescribes that whenever the word ton is used in reference to weighing bulky articles in custom houses, it shall be construed to mean twenty hundred weight, each hundred weight being 112 pounds avoirdupois, but this section throws no light on the question, since but for the statute 2,OOO pounds might have been consid- cred by custom-house officials as ton. Nor would there seem to be any prac- tice in the district amounting to usage, since by an ordinance of the late cor poration of Washington in regard to the sale of coal, 2,24O pounds is fixed as a ton, while section 1,190 of the dis trict revised statutes makes 2,00O pounds of hay or straw a ton. In the absence of a definition of the word ton in the act of March 3, 1893, no special importance is to be attached to section 2,951 of the revised statutes, in regard to the collection of duties, making 2,24O pounds Q ton, as showing what congress intended by the use of that word in the act of March 3, 1893. For these reasons my opinion is that 2.000 pounds is to be taken as a ton in weighing garbage under the act of 1S93."

FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.

Roofs foi Houses and Hulis for Vessels
 Sure to Be EIade Of It.
 Aluminium, which itself possesses a high degree of specific heat, does not really absorb heat itself, and thus is not liable to the chief objection to iron buildings in hot countries. But apart from light decorative purposes, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, such as balconies, cupolas, fnials and veran das, it is as roofing material that aluminium should be most welcome to the builder. Tn plates or scales, two thirds lighter than copper, uncorroded by air and undimmed even by the sul- phur of London smoke, 1t should make a roof fit for palace of romance.
 The number elements of health and comfort in the house hardly less i'm portant than it's external defenses against the weather-pipes, cisterns, taps and gutters, now made of iron which rusts, or lead which pOisons- would be moro enduring and far more healthy if made of this light and clean lv metal, which might also take the place of all water-holding vessels now made of heavy, brittle earthenware or painted tin. An aluminium bath is among the probable luxuries of the next century. But it is not as Q mere accessory to comfort and convenience that real development of the new metal should lie. It is for use at sea that it's most marked quality of light. ness obviously fits 1t.
 The marine engineer and the naval architect, who are already looking in this direction for a reduction of the weight which is inseparable from loss of efficacy, whether in speed or cargo, cannot neglect the possibilities of a metal, which, when mixed in the pro- portion of one to fifty, gives to alum- inum-brOnze a hardness and tough ness which makes it almost as reliable as steel, and which, if the proportions could be reversed and the strength pre- served, would reduce the weight of ships and machinery alike by two thirds. That is problem which awaits the metallurgist for solution. The reduction in cost, judging by an alogy, can only be question of time and research.
 The best steel now costs little more than one-half penny per pound, while aluuinun is fifty times that price. But aluminium exists in far greater quantities than iron, is more widely distributed, and neither the limits of time nor the history of metallurgy for bid us to conjecture that, as the world has seen it's age of stone, it's age of bronze and it's age of iron, so it may before long have embarked on new and even more prosperous age of alum mum.

The members, aI- ready numerous, propose TO campaign aganst smokers, but they intend to accomplish, if possible. the strict en- forcement of the regulations regarding, the prohibition of smoking in certain railroad-train compartments, public buildings, restaurants frequented by men and women, street cars, concert halls and other places of public amuse- mcnt. They wish to prevent smoking,

FOND OF WEDDING CAKE.
A Post onloe Rat a,al,i.fs Free in Clev,

A Post Office Rat 8!al1iIfg Free in Cleve-
 land with Letters and Packages.
 "Iave you ever heard of our post office rat?" queried a handler of Cleve- land mail addressing writer for the Leader. ''He is a kleptomaniac, born thief I guess" continued the clerk, He steals letters and we cannot keep him from it. He has a taste for we'd ding cake, too, and his conscience never restraints him from indulging it. We have set trap for him repeatedly, but he is too wise for us" The clerk then discoursed concerning the habits of the distinguished rodent. 'He hides among the rubbish of the room," he said. "and has several means of ready access to the outside world. He takes charge of affairs when we are out. The other day he was seen sitting upright on the table nibbling at a package of hickory nut kernels which happened to be side-tracked during transit through the mails. Not long ago box of wedding cake got lost. A card was mailed to the sender to come and cor rect the address. She called and when we looked for the package it was gone. A feeling something like that which crept over old Mother Hubbard when she went to the cupboard to get her poor dog bone gradually gained pos session of us. The rat had made of with the cake, and the closest search revealed only scattered fragments of precious sweetheart. We thought for

FIRE WITHOUT SMOKE.
4 Berlin Inventors Scheme for Burning
 Powdered Coal Is Successful.

4 Berlin TE-entcr's Scheme for Burning
 Powdered Coal Is Successful.
 Wherever there's smoke there's fire is an adage based on observation of Gnvarying physical laws, but the re- verse does not always hold good, for there may be fire without smoke, or at all events without apparent smoke.
 h Berlin, according to the New castle Chronicle, an inventor has sue ceeded in devising a means for insur- ing complete combustion without the emission of smoke, and his method has, on repeated tests, proved so satis- factory that two of the most important steamshipping companies in Germany have decided on adapting 1t to their steamers. Tn this system coal, reduced topowder in centrifugal disintegraters, is introduced into a pear-shaped com bustion chamber lined with frebrick, and fitted with an induction apparatus like those used in petroleum-fired fur naces, the coal dust being drawn along by jet Of steam or compressed air.
 The combustion chamber, which takes the place of furnace, is provided with two apertures, one in the center line of the boiler, occupying the posi- tion of the usual fire-hole door, while the other, OF the opposite side of the combustion chamber. serves for intro ducing the coal dust through a pipe, so placed that the dust isevenly dispersed over the whole surface of the chamber After the first ignition, which may be effected by any source of heat, the com bustion continues regularly and in- tensely under the action of the air cur rent. which is regulated in accordance with the quantity of dust required to produce the necessary heat. The air or steam and dust are intimately mingled in the zone of combustion, while the speed of the current, which has served as Q vehicle for the dust, is much reduced. Each particle of fuel held in suspension is by this method brought into such close contact with the oxygen necessary for it's combus- tion that this combustion is so com plete as to allow of practically no smoke being generated.

A Jury on n Strike.

The most remarkable case in Texas legal history was tried recently at Oakland before Justice English-Mrs. Ella Holloway vs. J. II. Van Alstyne, says a Houston correspondent of the St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat. The case consumed the day and was given to the jury at night. Before retiring the jury demanded that each man be paid his fifty-cent fee. The justice de- murred and ordered them to bring 8 verdict or they would get. TO fee The jury retired and in fifteen minutes en- tered court. They had a sealed verdict Before turning it over to the justice the jury struck for their hard-earned fees Under protest the justice gave each juror fifty cents. He opened the verdict, which read: "The jury cannot agree. :" This enraged the court He demanded the fifty cents each juror had been paid. The jury refused and the cour5 ordered them locked up until verdict was given pro or con. After being out another hour the jury reported that they were still unable to agree. Judge English then demanded the return of the fees. The jurors refused to sur render and q fine of two dollars and fifty cents each WAS assessed and their incarceration ordered. 4 compromise was finally reached by four of the jury returning the fees and the other two paying the fine of two dollars and fifty cents. The higher courts will be in fiicted with the case.
