Another device used in giving oysters

Another device used in giving oysters
their final growth is a 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.
1t may be added that dredging is ex.
ceptionally or never INDUCED.

The Exaltation Of the Peanut. =.

Next to Debs and Huntington, the
peanut has come in for more comment
during the past few months than
anything else, human, diabolical or
divine. There seems to be a peanut
boom of large dimensions sweeping
the country, and it is made very clear
by it's advocates that the peanut is
about the only thing fit for food that
is produced anywhere in the world.
Alleged chemical analyses set forth
with mathematical accuracy how
many Daniel Websters or Shadows
there are in a ton of peanuts, and
how much money should be made in
producing them. 1t is quite likely
that much Of such stuff is bOsh, and
quite likely also that the table given

Frederick Law 0lmstead Approves
the Commissioners Plans.
A GREATER WASHINGTON ASSURED
The Original Idea of the City to Be
Extended to Its Suburbs.
DIFFICULTIES SURMOUNTED

Mr.. Frederick Law Olmstead. the land
scape engineer, who was appointed to eN-
anime into and report upon the plans OF
the Commissioners for an extension of the
streets and avenues of the District, has
made his report to the Commissioners on
the first section.
The report briefly may be summed up as
an approval as Of the plans submitted by
the Engineer Commissioner. There are
some minor changes recommended, but
they are Of no Importance, and do not
affect the general scheme in any particu-
lar. In fact, the changes noted were all
approved by the engineers of the Dis
trict before Mr.. Olmstead saw them.
1t will be recalled that the Engineer Com
missioner, when the reference of this i'm
pcrtant matter was made to his depart
ment, decided that the most eXpedient way
or handling the subject was to divide the
District into sections and take up each
section In turn. Then again the act OF
Congress provided that the plans must be
made in sections, and steps were taken
Immediately to begin on the first section
That part of the District above Florida
avenue and between North Capitol street
extended and Rock creek was blocked out
section number one. This section in
cludes the most irregular group of sub
divisions in the District There was lie
Droit Park, Meridian Hill, Mt. Pleasant
and others, none of them conforming
strictly to the city plan or laid out with
regard to each other.

The Future Sixteenth Street.

The area covered by the first section
embraces about nine square miles, two of
which are In park; one square mile, divided
after the city system; four square miles
unsubdivided, and two square miles being
covered by irregular subdivisions 1t takes
about thirty good-sized maps to show all
the details for a complete record. A large
majority of the streets have been retained
and widened, all changes and notifications
being by the extension of particular ave
nues and streets northerly from the city.
Perhaps the street that is causing the
most comment and the one about which
the most interest centers is 10th street
According to the new plan, this street Will
be extended a distance somewhat exceed
ing six miles from the White House in the
direction Of the District line. One mile will
be along the eastern boundary of Rock
Creek Park, and 1t is believed, it will make
one Of the most beautiful drives in the
city. The grade is such that beautiful
view can be had Of the whole of Rock
Creek valley.
Then there is 18th street, which will re-
main practically as it Is now. There will
be some widening of this street and l4th
street, and both will be extended to the
District line. 1t is believed that 18th
street will in time become the great thor
oughfare into the city, rivaling Bright
wood avenue, principally because 1t will
be free from railroad tracks.

Delicate InitiatOry Work.

AS an initial step the engineers made a
small scale map of the section, and then
the real study of the situation commenced.
Field work was carried on upon expert
mental lines run, in order to aid in the
plotting and to establish the true relations
between the subdivisions and the streets
weber records were lacking or doubtful.
Capt. Powell labored industriously to
complete the map, and was almost con-
stantly with the engineers. He made 1t his
particular studyIn fact, it became his
hobby-and he gave to 1T the most con-
scientious study and consideration. Citi-
Zens whose property was affected were in
vited to confer with him, and he listened
patiently to every scheme advanced. At
last the plans for the first section were
finished, the final proposed map completed
and Mr.. Olmstead invited to pass judg-
ment Upon IT. The act Of Congress pro-
vided that Mr.. Olmstead should report
upon the plans before they were finally
approved Mr.. Olmstead is a landscape EN-
gineer Of considerable reputation, but
when he arrived at the Commissioners Of
flee and looked over the task that con-
fronted him he shook his head. He ap-
preciated the herculean task before him.
and rather hesitated about assuming it,
FINALLY he concluded to take a part of the
first section home with him. 1t was that
section around Rock creek, one of the
most important, and by far the prettiest of
the whole plan.

But the scheme which has attracted the
greatest attention of the engineers and
which originated with Capt. Powell is the
establishment Of a chain Of parks about
the city, connected with each other by
beautiful driveways, and making 1t one of
the most beautiful drives in the world A
handsome boulevard will connect Rock
Creek Park with Soldiers Home. 1t will
follow both sides of Piney branch from the
park boundary to 10th street extended
building lines being DO feet apart. East of
10th street the road will be 100 feet wide
taking in all of the Spring road and
making a new entrance to Soldiers Home
Another boulevard, 100 feet In width
commencing at the southeast entrance of
the Soldiers Home is provided for, which
leads to Mount Hamilton and the Eastern
branch. where large park will be built
upon the reclaimed flats. Two beautiful
driveways on each side of Rock creek
south of the Geological Park have been pro-
vided for, ending at . street. Taking the
mall and East Capitol street as another
connection drive the link Of parks will be
complete and the most beautiful drive in
the world twelve miles in length estab-
lished.

coed at once with his report, and after

Slight Departures From Straigh,
Lines.

There is slight deviation from a straight
line in the extension of New Jersey ave-
| nue.. The present plan shows the avenue
following the line of the small valley d.
| rect from the Boundary to 14th street and
along l4th street road to 10th street ex-
tended.
A straight line will not be followed in
the extension Of this street, principally
show the retention of the Old Piney
Branch road and Central avenue. The
breaks, however, are not important, and
the highway will be fairly continued. The
engineers are very favorably inclined to
the extension of this street principally
because it will be great relief to 10th
street extended.
There is some slight shifting from a
| straight line in the case of Connecticut
avenue, made necessary on account of the
excessive cost, and for the reason that
new des can be established on the east
without working any serious damage to the
established grades in Washington Heights.
Columbia road. IT has been decided. will
be retained and widened into an avenue
extended 10 18th street, where 1t Is pro-
posed to have 1T Joined with New Hamp-
shire avenue extended from the subdivision
