WHAT AN OYSTEHc

According to n professor In the biolo-
Gical department of Johns Hopkins
University. tire oyster, zcologicaIly
speaking, is not fish. Perhaps it Is
crab; perhaps il Isn't. This professor
says: 'Thc question is very simple
one. I don't know what an oyster is
legally or rcligiously, but zoologically
he certainly isn't fish" SO much for
science.
Right along With this opinion here
comes one from the City Attorney OF
Baltimore, who, after giving much care
and Thought to the subject, makes this
declarations:
oysters, I should unhesitatingly
say, are fish. Whether they arc or
not Is not an open question, since
wharton VS.. Wise, 1913 Il. S. ITO.
In that case Wharton, Mary
lander. was arrested for taking
oysters on the Virginia side OF the
Pocomoke sound. The compact of
1875, under which Wharton was
arrested, In terms only referred to
fishing in the Potomac river and
Pocomokc sound The Supreme
Court says: 1t is conceded that the
right Of fishing when not qualified,
extends TO the taking of both float
Ing fish and shell fish, And I'm
another part the courts opinion,
in speaking of the powers of Nir-
Einia in POcomokC sound. says that
State has power TO pass all nee
essary laws for the protection of
fish therein, whether floating or
shell The court in this opinion
clearly puts oysters i'm the genus
fish. designating the two species as
floating fish and shell fish"
To back up this opinion high cccles-
iastical authority says that fish,
oysters and crabs have always been
regarded as belonging to the same
genus and, therefore, permissible rs
food on fast days and in Lent. III
some sections the law is stretched
notably at New Orleans, whore GER
tain kind of water fow, is permitted
to be eaten on fast days, because ii
has fishy taste"
1t Will be observed that both the
church and the law regard oysters as
fish, while the scientist is positive to
the contrary. However, the prcpon-
dcrance Of evidence is in favor of the
oyster being known as lish-shcll fish.
and we'll have to let it go at that

We print this morning the reports of Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley on the destruction of Cervera's squadron. They will be read with great interest, and they will be carefully ex- amined to discover evidences of the much talked of friction" It will be found difficult to discover such evil dences. Admiral Sampsons report is perhaps not as hearty as it might be, but it is thorough and businesslike. He says of his own ship: "She was not, at any time, within the range of the heavy Spanish ships, and her only part in the firing was to receive the undivided fire from the forts in passing the harbor entrance and to fire a few shots at one of the destroyers, thought at the mo- ment to be attempting to escape from the Gloucester" He gives the Brook 1yn, Commodore Schley's ship, just though perhaps not very generous praise. He is heartier about the Ore 
 gon and the Gloucester. He does not
 mention names,' but says: ''The ob- ject of the blockading of Cervera's S squadron was fully accomplished, and each individual bore well his part in it, the commander in command of the second division, the captains of ships, their officers and men," And he makes it plain that his plans were the ones which did the business.
 Commodore Schley's report, which is made to Admiral Sampson, is much heartier than Sampson's, and if he feels any friction he doesn't show it. He mentions many names, stands right up for the Brooklyn and all on board of
 her, and gives the Oregon and her cap- tain full credit. He also says: T con-
 graduate you most sincerely upon this
 great victory to the squadron under
 your command, and I am glad that I
 had an opportunity to contribute in the least to victory that seems big enough for all of us."
 Big enough for all'' hits the mark, and it is pity that there has seemed to be some friction

THE SPANISH oLrvE BRANCH.


 Spain has at last ''sued for peace" and, so far as now appears, the famous Spanish honor has temporarily taken a back seat. Spain has had enough. She says so, and asks what we want her to do.
 This is a good beginning, and all right-minded people in both countries are hoping that the end will be good. It probably will be unless Spain gets notional again and puts her honor be- fore common sense. The United States will not be unduly harsh with her, but 1t will demand fair penalty for her wicked folly. And Spain's French, German and Austrian friends should advise her that it is no time for a dis play of the queer Spanish strategy. This country has had enough of that.

MEAT IND MONEY IN RABBITS.

It's an i'll wind that blows nowhere,
 as the negro said. The rabbit plague
 of New Zealand isn't very plaguy to
 some who have learned how to utilize
 it. The exportation of rabbits from
 New Zealand has assumed such dimen-
 sions that it has got beyond the experi-
 mental stage, and has become an im-
 portant industry One exporter al the
 present time is in receipt of between
 15,O00 and 10000 rabbits per day, and is paying to trappers and in wages be- tween s4,00o and s5,OO0 per week. He
 has 24000 traps out, giving employment to about 800 trappers. Last year his export of rabbits was about 100000, and he expects to send away about 1,500, ,000 this season. By this exporter alone about eight truck-1oads of timber are
 used every week to make the boxes in which the rabbits are frozen and ex-
 ported, while he pays more than $500 | week for freight. Another exporter reports that he has already this season disposed of more than 260,000 rabbits.
 It is estimated by one expert that the total output of the colony this season will reach 6,000,O0O rabbits, while an- other estimate is 5,0OO,0O0. Taking the lowest price, six cents each, for rab- | bits, the sum that will be distributed | among trappers will exceed $500, 900, and it is calculated that the total amount received in the colony as the l proceeds of the rabbit export industry for this season will be between S50O,0 ,00O and $75O. 900.
