Preparing the Fascines.
The fascines gather the spat from
the oysters suspended on the ropes.
The spawning season is greatest be-
tween April and October, but expert
ments show that spawning occurs
during the whole year. The fascines
freshly prepared during the winter
are taken out of the shallow water
in the spring and anchored in deeper
water. In May the fascines are
taken up, we'll rinsed, and suspended
in the shallower water in the
parks. Here they get their second
coating of spats. In the next spring
the fascines are taken ashore and
deposited in huge banks as a ,prelim-
mary to weaving the ropes. The at
tendants now proceed to take them

MUSSEL- BEARING ROPES.

IN that they cultivate oysters in all
depths OF water, and make the num-
Der of oysters fattened in a given
park stand in proportion to the vol
ume of water. Having but scanty
fall tide, their system has become
vertical oyster culture. TO cultivate
horizontally the French have hard
ened their muddy beaches, have in
closed tidal areas, and have spread
miles Of fiat cases of iron gaUze to
furnish growing space for their oys-
tiers. The Italian c~ulturist has de-
vised every means Of supporting his
oysters in the water between bottom
and surface. A Tarentine park rep
resents every branch Of the industry:
on an area of fifteen feet the culturist
may collect the young oysters, grow,
~fatten, and prepare them for market.
A Tarentine park consists of cor
ner posts, a web of rope and various
suspended devices for collecting,
growing, fattening and storing oys-
tiers. The corner posts, firmly i'm
planted. mark the boundaries of the
park. At each corner these are usu-
ally arranged in pairs, somewhat in
clined toward each other and dashed
together a few feet above the surface.
Thus fixed they appear to be quite
permanent. The firm calcareous
character of the bottom allows the
posts to be readily inserted by blows
of a heavy mallet. The posts them
selves are Of green pine, 6 OF 8 inches
in diameter. The depth of the har-
Dor allows their average length to be
about twenty feet. In deeper water
two or even three require to be
spliced together, bringing, therefore,
into culture a depth as great as forty
feet. The ropes forming a network
between the corner posts must sup
port the weight Of the collecting de-
vices. The cordage must therefore
be strong and durable in water. A
wlre-grass rope an inch in diameter
is manufactured in Naples for this
purpose. 1t lasts for one or two sea-
sons, and costs about &c per yard.
Loose bundles of hazel or goose
boughs, termed f~ascines, are suspend
ed by the ropes in the water. They
become quickly watersOaked and form
the most convenient collectors.
These, when covered with young oys-
tiers, are broken into twigs and woven
into ropes, which, when suspended
from the network above, utilize the

Immigration Statistics.

The official reports of immigration
to the United States show a great
falling off. Arrivals for the last
fiscal year were only 81, 4O4, 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, 600 from the United King
dom, 80, 800 from Germany, 43, 900
from Italy, 1880 from Austria,
about as many from Russia, anG
q, 900 from Sweden and Norway, no
other country sending as many as
5000. The decrease approximately
was 20, 900 from Austria, and 80, 0CO
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 a slight increase is re-
ported. The following table shows
the total of Immigrants for each fiscal
year since the One ending in the
middle Of 1879:

conditions Of the oyster now become
especially favorable. The heavily
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
first grade In the Tarentine market.
A rope fourteen feet in length will
rear about 2, 900 marketable oysters.

Nearly all the decline in numbers
for 1894 occurred in the last half of
the fiscal year. That reported for
last June vas little more than a
third Of the total for June, 1893, and
vas at the rate of 280, 900 Per an
mum. Since then the balance of the
movement has been in the other
direction, so that if the same rate be
kept for the whole year the returns
for 1895 will show that the United
States is losing to other countries in
stead of gaining from them. Stats
tics for the port of New York for the
month ending with Aug. 2, which
practically covers July, show that
