France Want. More Fish.

A large quantity of salmon 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 3,S14 tons of salmon
from Great Britain reached the Paris
market, during which period only
$50 tons of French salmon were sold
there. At what is a very modest price
for salmon on the other side of the At
lantic, two shillings pound, this rep
resents a sum of about $4,0O0.000 paid
to Scotch and English vendors. Dur
ing a 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
efficient system of inspectors and
agents. Of these officials there are in
France only 1873 for 100000 miles OF
rivers and streams.-N. y. Journal

THE GIDDY OYSTER.
Its Home Now Sold to Road Maker,
and Gas Works.


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 400 100000 bushels of the toothsome
mollusks. These have sold for the
enormous sum of S250,O00,OO0. Almost
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-sixth 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. Cultivators of
oysters also employ them having found
| that they afford suitable surfaces for
young oysters to attach themselves to.
They are likewise used to some extent
| as chicken food. They are very good
| for hens, the shells of eggs being large
| ly made of them. The trade receives
$25, 900 in single year for the empty
| shells.
| Starfshes are the oysters worst
enemy. Other animals the young oys-
| tiers have to guard against are crabs and
| boring snails. They are also in danger
of being stified by mud. In Pacific wa
tiers 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 a sort
of parasite of the oyster, whose shell
protects it and whose food supports it.

THERE are strong indications thai
England and possibly Italy and France
will soon be left out OF the concert
of the European powers, and that Rus
STA, Germany and Australia Hungary
will take the regulation of European
affairs in hand. France may possibly
drop in, because she dares not drop out.
Englan1's threat of an alliance with the
United States will have no effect on the
other powers, for all of them regard
the Am erican people as entirely sane.
However, they are reckoning on the
gre 1T or aggregate IN ass of the people
OF this country, and are paying perhaps
too little attention to the influence of
the Calls, and Morgans, and Mills, and
Frances e. Willards of the United
states.
