samples of rock from the hollow drills and
preserve them for reference
Commander Tilley of the Newport has
started his off-shore photography. He is
making tidal observations determining lit

Commander Richards of the Alert is doing
similar work on the Pacific side, at Brito.
The sites for locks and entertainments
have been put in the hands of one level and
one transit party.
The canal between Ochoa and the Allan
tic has one level and one transit party, and
the canal between the lake and Pacific has
been turned over to Admiral Walkers son.
Two level parties fG exact levels or
checks are to work in conjunction, and the
ether parties will make a resurvey of the

The Oyster SpaSynS.

The inventor states that the information
contained in his pamphlet took twelve years
to collect from practical sources. The
prime oyster Mr.. HILBERT says, gives out
in fifteen days about 10000 spawns in this
latitude. OF this number twelve are esti-
mated to live to become prime oysters
which figures, he claims are generally adj
mltted by oyStermen. BY his method Mr.
HILBERT claims, he save at least GOO
900 He also calculates that by his plan a
profit of $12o,ooO an acre every other year
can be realized and claims that this cal
cuiation can easily be proved.
MIR. HILBERT says when an oyster spawn4
The spawn or spat rises to the surface of
the water, where it floats for a period Of
about five days. AT the end of this time
the future individual oyster commences to
make shell, and at the same time forms a
number of tentacles, by which il moves IN
the water, striving to find place to at
tach itself. Between the fifth and ninth
days 1t has made so much shell that it is
unable to overcome the attraction of gravi-
tation by the aid of these tentacles. which
form outside of the valve end or hinge of
the oyster. If on the ninth day it has not
succeeded in finding and attaching itself to
some object free from sediment, it has
made SO much shell that it sinks to the
bottom, and is in danger of being smother
ed in the ooZe or sediment which generally
exists there.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-01-12
The Spat's yicisSitudes.

Under prevalent conditions of oyster
planting, Mr.. HILBERT says. the spat unat-
tached which has not been eaten by fish or
other marine animals, may be carried away
fifty miles in the course of few days and
lost to the grower. If at the time the spat
is floating on the surface of the water or
during periods between the first and fifth
Gays and before the fifth day a cold rain
should fall, the spat would be killed. To
this cause alone Mr. HILBERT attributes the
annual loss Of about ~ per cent of the spat
of the oyster He declares it is a we'll
known fact that during the seasons which
have been especially dry the oyster yield
has been enormously large, and vice versa.
The object of MIR. Iiibberts invention is
to largely increase the productive capacity
of any particular area of coast land, TO
provide safeguards for the protection of
the oyster from the rapacity of destructive
II arine life and to render suitable for prop
agating purposes hundreds of miles of
coast line which are now, owing to pecu-
liar situation and conditions, unfit for that
purpose.

An Invention for Increasing the Sup
ply Of Bivalves.
RESULT OF TWELVE YEARS OF STUDY
Utilizing the Coast Lines for Pro-
ductive Purposes.
S K E 7 CHI OF THE PLAN

1t is stated a fact that the inability of
human beings to rest comfortably and be
heaithy II their beds are not suitable for
them. is shared by other creatures, and
this applies particularly to oysters The
oyster has reputation for being dumb.
but If its bed is disturbed. or If it is not
allowed to sleep peacefully therein the
length of time for which oysters are sup
posed to rest, it disappears from that To-
cality.
Prof. Otis T. Mason of the National Mu-
scum has received from the inventor, Mr.
d. II. HILBERT of Delaware county, Pa,
description of his patent oyster bed and
method of propa eating the bivalves therein
Accompanying the description of his in
vention is letter. Mr.. HILBERT states in
this that 1T is generally known that with
In at least five years all the market able
oysters will become extinct. This cond:-
ton. he claims. is practically the case on
the public lands, though there are at this
time in Delaware bay 10000 acres.
This condition has been caused, Mr.. H,b-
bert says, principally by improper dredg-
inS. The oystermen in dredging have taken
up the beds also. The oyster having no
Shell to which to attach itself gets into the
mud and is consequently smothered. Mr..
HILBERT states that he has interviewed
oystermen, at different times, relative to
his invention. While they agree with him
as to its merits they are too poor TO con-
tribute the required amount to put the in
VentIon in operation.
