The drumfsh Is one of the oysters
most deadly enemies. Drumfish are
large aud heavy jawed. They travel
in schools In a straight course, and
once they strike an oyster bed leave
only "a mass of crumbled shells in their
wake. They pick up a mouthful,
grind the shells, eat the oysters, spit
out the shells and 60 on. Their pres
ence is made known 10 the oystermen
by the color OF the water, which as
sumes a reddish hue as they pass
through it, There is no way of antici-
pating or frustrating their attacks.
Once they strike an oyster bed they
eat path through II. As 10 the
amount Of damage they do. it depends
entirely on how they come upon the
/ bed. Sometimes their course leads
them straight over il. If so there is
nothing left but crumbled shells.
Sometimes they only touch the corner,
and at other times a small school will
go through the centre. They never
vary from straight course, and 2
school covering hundreds of square
feet have been known 10 take but q
few bushels off the corner of bed OF
thousands of bushels. Oystermen
offer no explanation for this peculiar
stupidity, but are glad that they do
not get into the habit of looking about
them when they strike the corner

English Administration of Jamaica.

The English administration of ia
maica is a thing to be thankful for.
There are law and order, excellent
roads, comfortable houses, adequate po-
lice lawn tennis and cricket, plenty of
manly, oompanionable English army
and navy officers and a governor who is
strong, able and genial. At the same
time it would be folly to maintain that
the island is producing a tenth part of
the wealth that is latent i'll soil and
atmosphere, or that most of the wealth
that is beginning to make its ap.
pearance is due to anything so much
as to the American enterprise and cap
ital which are opening up railways
and cultivating fruits. Another serious
fact, though not necessarily an unwel-
come one, is that the islands 1000
square miles contain population of
500, 000 persons, rs, 900 of whom are
