to whom the voyage perhaps promises
happiness. wealth and all the Joys OF life,

Take the case of the Burvie Castle as
striking example. She vanished. not In
mid-ocean. but between the ports OF Lon
don and Plymouth. Into the latter port
she should have put on her way to Aus
traIia. But she never reached Plymouth.
and not living soul knows how or where
she vanished. 1t is most extraordinary
that she should have been lost so near TO
land without so much as spar being
washed ashore to tell OF her fearful fate
Equally mysterious Is the case OF the
4Atalanta. This famous training vessel
was stationed of Bermuda with more
than so souls aboard. Early I'm 1850 she
set sail for a short cruise. and from that
day to this she has never been heard Of
A very considerable percentage Of the
vessels which disappeared forever In this
mysterious manner were running between
England and America at the time. 1t
might be thought that the terrific seas
of the vast Atlantic were responsible. but
1t has been proved that many vessels
were lost when the ocean was almost at
dead calm.
A large sailing ship left New Orleans
some years ago for London. Thrice she
was spoken and reported all well. and
she was facing exquisite weather and n
smooth sea the third time. Yet 1t Is
known she was lost with al! hands within

ODD INDUSTRY IN NEW YORK.



A singular and little known industry Is
carried on In this city In the sale OF oyster
and clam shells The dealers in this COM
modify pursue their calling in so unostea-
tatious q way that IL attracts no attention.
From the eating-houses where oysters and
clans are consumed the year round the
shells are collected by persons who either
carry on that business fer themselves or
are in the employ of the wholesale ielers
II seems incredible how large an area Of
ground can De covered many feet deep with
the congiomerate OF shell and foreign mat
ter that is Numerically collected with II
and apparently amalgamatss without 1e-
s.roying the characteristics Of the harder
material.
Seeing a number of carts loaded with
shells moving toward the same point would
Induce the supposition that more reclaimed
land was being filled in with material that
would exclude the possibility of such land
ey er being used as a market garden, or II
nigh. be taken for granted that another
dump heap was allowed in some of the
still unoccupied upper west side lots. But
If curiosity should lead to investigation ii
would be found that the carts were bound
for big yard at Fifty fourth street and
the North river, where they deposited
their loads.
Every autumn the yard is so filed up
that a considerable hill OF shell is formed.
This being excavated from the bottom as
