The rise IN value of sugar trust stock
since the passage OF the new tariff law is
a tritie bewildering and at the same time
mortlfying to our republican friends who,
ever Jealous of the welfare of trusts, are
also ever sensitive to the charge that
they are a trust fostering party. But
the rise in the value of trust stock is an
undeniable fact and the passage OF the
new law is as undenlably responsible for
IT. Had congres shrewdIy passed "a
separate, increased tariff on sugar at the
beginning Of the tariff discussion to
prevent the normous lmportations of
raw material before the complete tariff
bill was passed, or had it adopted Secre-
tary Cages recommendation near the
close of the discussion on the bill to levy
al internal1 revenue tax of one cen
par pound on all raw material IN the
United States at the passage OF b bill
there would have been no immediate in.
Grease of profit to the sugar trust and no
present rise in the value of trust stock.
The sugar trust, knowing that the
new bill would certainly advance the
rate of duty on raw sugar for revenue,
has been bringing into the country SUI
gar i'll enormous quantities, getting it in,
OF course, under the comparatively low
rates of the Wilson law. 1t has secured
the world for sugar, and had in stock by
the time the conference report was pre-
sented to the public over 100000 tons of
raw sugar, in ronnd numbers, 1900 900,
OOO pounds-enough sugar with which
to load 10000 cars, or 800 freight trains
OF twenty cars each. 1t is thus perfect
ly apparent that the trust would make
whatever profit there was between the
tariff rates Of the Wilson law and the
Increased tariff rates named by the Ding
ley law. or AN aggregate profit calculated
at about Sl2,O0O,OOO. Is 1t surprising
that sugar trust stock went up in view
OF the fact that this organization would
make upon the sugar which it had
brought into the country $l2,O0O,00O by
the mere advance which it would have
On its stock of sugar after the final pass
age of the bill? The escaping of
the internal revenue tax proposed by
MIR. Gage which the conference commit
tee could have adopted and at one time
thought seriously Of adopting, coupled
with the fact of the enormous supply
of raw material laid in, is what gives
the trust ITS prospect of immediate pro-
fits and, hence, the increased value of it's
stock. So far as the ditfential in favor
Of the retiners or trusts is concerned, it
is no: as large under the new law as un
der the Wilson law-being 1913 cents

Is was % cents under the wilson law.

France wants more Fish.

A large quantity or saimon eggs were
recently exported from this country
to France, where an effort is being
made to rectify the extreme scarcity of
fish. Some interesting data have been
published on this subject. In the course
of seven years ASIA tons of salmon
from Great Britain reached the Paris
market, during which period only
7S0 tons of French salmon were sold
there. At what is a very modest price
TOR salmon on the other side of the At
lantic, two shillings a pound, this rep
resents sum of about $4,0o0,000 paid
to Scotch and English vendors. Dur
ing period of ten years the imports
into France of other fresh water fish
reached nearly 10000 tons, and of sea
fish nearly 10000 tons PER annum. To
remedy this state of affairs it is now
suggested to levy licenses, varying in
amount in proportion to the style
of fishing contemplated, the money to
go to the expenses of maintaining an

THE GlDDY OYSTER.
It's Home Now Sold to Road Makers
and Gas Works.

The waters of Maryland produce one
third Of the total oyster supply of the
world. 1t yields twice as many of these
luscious bivalves as are grown in all for
eign countries combined. During the
present century it has put on the mar
ket 4OO, 100000 bushels of the toothsome
mollusks. These have sold for the
enormous sum of $250,OOO,00O. Almsst
all of this country is dependent for the
abundance and cheapness of this edible
on the supply of the Chesapeake. From
here also come very nearly all of the
oysters used for canning. In fact, the
output of this industry in Maryland is
equal to one-siNth of all the fisheries of
the United States put together.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century has been reckoned at
100000 tons. Until lately the can
ming firms have had much trouble in
getting rid of the shells, having to pay,
in fact, for the removal of all they could
not give away. Recently, however,
they have been able to sell them. They
are now shipped to all parts of the
country and are utilized variously for
roads, for lime, and employed in max
ing coal gas. They have also been
found to serve almost as well as stone in
the manufacture of special grades of
iron for railway beds. Cul'ivators of
oysters also employ them, having found
that they afford suitable surfaces for
young oysters to attach themselves to.
They are likewise used to scme extent
as chicken food They are very good
for hens, the shells of eggs being large
ly made of them The trade receives
S25, 900 in a single year for the empty
shells.
Starfshes are the oysters worst
enemy Other animals the young oys-
ters have to guard against are crabs and
boring snails. They are also in danger
of being stified by mud. In Pacific wa
ters stringrays are their most dreaded
foes. The little crab that lives in the
shell of the oyster has always excited
much interest. 1t is found in about
five per cent. of the bivalves. 1t is sort
of parasite of the oyster, whose shell
protects it and whose food supports it.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The air is so clear in the Arctic re-
gions that conversation can be carried
on easily by persons two miles apart.
1t has also been asserted ON good au-
thority that at Gibraltar the human
voice has been distinctly heard at a dis
tance of ten miles.
In Kew, England, watches are sub
jected to severe tests ere they are con-
sidered perfect. Two of these tests are
to heat them in an oven and to freeze
them in an ice pail. If this treatment
does not affect their works, the watches
are deemed perfect timekeepers.
The eyeball rests in a cushion of
fat, by which it is surrounded on every
side. When the system becomes r-reat-
ly emaciated through disease, this fat
is absorbed and the eye sinks further
into the head, thus giving the sunken
appearance so common in disease.
The extent to which the tramway
system, which was only generally
adopted in comparatively recent times,
has developed in England is strikingly
shown by a parliamentary return issued
recently. The length of line open for
public traffic in England and Wales is
792 miles; the number of horses en-
ployed by the companies was 27,175, and
the total number of passengers carried
was 5S5,04S,162 last year. The gross
receipts amounted to e3,322, ,964, and
the working expenses to G e2,493,ss2.
The total yearly demand for ivory
billiard balls, when trade in general is
good, is estimated to be about 10000
to 115,00O balls, of which America and
France absorb half, the remainder be-
ing used by England, Germany and
other countries. Bad times reduce the
number of balls required to about S0,-
900 to $4,000 per year. AS those ele :
plants teeth which are most adapted
for billiard balls are getting scarcer
and scarcer, great difficulty is expert
enced in meeting the present demand,
and prices accordingly rapidly advance,
being at present more than 16 shillings
per pound.

4 H~aifnTul Fish.

From the new w04nan's point of view
the male catfish is a mSdel for men, 1t

ed by scores of its offspring, guarding
them from the onslaughts of fish of

kept watch of them, not permitting the
female to come near them. A catfish
nest is made in d spot sheltered by
aquatic plants, where there is no cur
rent. After the eggs have been laid the

ued rapid vibration of its fins drives
fresh water into the nest keeping the
eggs healthy. After week the eggs

which lays eggs of the size of small

Death of n Heroine.

Readers of De Quincy will remember
the very touching account which the
essayist gives of family of children
who for two days and two nights were
showed up in their lonely cottage in
Easdale. The parents had gone to a
neighboring village, were overtaken by
a terrible storm and never came back.
The eldest child, "a girl of 10, who had
played the mother to her brother and
sisters in a way which only some chill
dren can, ultimately made her way to a
farmhouse, search party was got to-
gether and the frozen bodies of the
parents, who had been unable to make
their way against the wild force of the
storm, were found near the famous Eas-
dale Tarn. The incident has frequent
ly been the subject of story and, if we
remember rightly, Wordsworth also
utilized it. We refer to it now in con-
sequence of the death of Mrs. Hall, the
last survivor of the orphan family, at
the age of 90. She was the youngest of
them all and it is a singular coincidence
that she should have passed away at a
time when the snow-which had such
a momentous effect npon her early life
again lies thick upon the fels.-
