OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE.
Submarine Boats VIII Make the BivaIve
More Accessible.

The submarine boat will revolution
ize the oyster industry. When in Chess
apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut
frequently settled down on oyster beds
and, with the permission OF the owners,
procured all the oysters desired by
reaching down through the sea door.
The new Argonaut can employ this
method of gathering oysters, rising to
the surface when her diving-room Is
full, or send out divers, who can place
the oysters collected in buckets or re-
ceptacles, which those on the surface
can haul up. When bays and rivers
are frozen over and oystermen cannot
ply their trade the Argonaut can go
under the ice. Fishing a also be
carried on easily on the bottom with
nets, for the fish have no fear OF the
object they evidently consider q whale,
and swim from every direction toward
the glare of the electric lights shining
through the ports. Sponge fishing will
engage the attention of the first sue
cessful submarine yeyagers. Good
sponges are becoming dearer, for the
supply in shallow water is running
short. The divers cannot go deeper
than twenty-five feet, and the best
PONCE are found in deep water. To
this deep water the Argonaut will go
and, gathering the finest sponges, put
them on the market at a price no great
er than that paid for the common va
rieties. She will also try pearl fishing,
now conducted at an enormous expense
OF life, for by a strange freak OF ma
ture pearl oysters are generally found
in localities where bad weather pre-
walls and hurricanes and typhoons are
frequent. These the Argonaut, under
the water, need not fear, and her div
ers, insead of gathering up the oysters
by the single handful, can gather them
by the bushel.-Iippincott's.

OIL USED AS FUEL ON SHIPS.
Russian, Italian and German Navies Ex-
perimenting with 1T.

The annual draw on our
coal supply is already somewhat les
sened by the use OF liquid fuel, al
though the actual effect is, OF course,
inappreciable. Sir Marcus Samuel, in
a recent paper before the Society OF
Arts, gave an interesting account OF
the present position of liquid fuel in
our own and foreign countries. In
England oil as fuel. is in use on the
Great Eastern railway, and we believe
the results have proved satisfactory.
in use in the Russian, German and
Italian navies and one or two foreign
railways. We are told that when the
old fields of Dutch Borneo were first
opened up the oil was not allowed to
be carried In bulk through the Suez
canal, and there was not a single port
at which obstacles were not placed in
the way of its introduction. Now YES
esls carrying $500 tons, and capable
of discharging over SEQ tons of oil per
hour, pass through the canal regularly.
The impediments placed in the way
of its discharge have been done away
with, as experience has shown that
there Is no real danger. Several adj
vantages are claimed for the use OF
this body as a fuel to rep.ace coal, tie
chief being the convenience Of storage,
the reduction Of labor in storing and
rapidity OF discharge. The alternate
contraction and expansion of the fire
bars and steam tubes, unavoidable
when coal is used as the fuel, is said
to be altogether stopped, but against
this has to be placed q risk OF over
heating.-Londoa Chronicle.

though sometimes even a bishop of
the Church Of England has been
known to assist. The Gorsedd is held
within a circle Of stone, i N the light of
day and in the open air. No Gorsedd
can be held at night, or under a roof.
In modern Welsh the word means

may account for the double signifca-

A Novel use of tho bicycle.

There was a novel use of the bicycle
at the recent show OF the Royal Ag-
ricultural society in Sydney. The COM
pany which has acquired the patent
rights in the strengthening machine
invented by the late Mr.. Fred Yorke
Wolseley, the australian brother Of the
commander-in-chie showed a number
of these machines worked by motive
power supplied by a cyclist. The driv-
ing wheel of the bicycle was connect
ed with a small rubber wheel fixed on 8
spindle, to which were attached tho
flexible shaft and shear of the wolse-
ley machine. Each sheep was relieved
OF its wool coat in four or five minutes.

and poetry, the fact is never lost sight
of that each ceremony is for the pur-
pose Of keeping alive the interest in
the Gaelic language and perpetuating
the memory of the ancient Welsh GUS
toms. The Catholic priest and the An
glican pastor are for the time being
eager learners in the school of the
Celt. The Welsh language is not a
simple patois abandoned to the in
ferior classes. The same right is
claimed for it as for the English, and
perhaps the fact that it is maintained
so well in the midst Of the English
speaking masses is due to the Eistedd-
fod. The ancient rites of the Druids
are by the people. although the Druid
ism of to-day is Christianity, but they
love to guard the archaic formula and
ceremonial, and TO unite Welshmen OF
every creed to n arden cult of the old
Celtic fatherland.

Some interesting statistics in regard
to the increase of population have just
been compiled by Sir Robert Clifton, a
distinguished English exper. on this
subject. He shows that England now
has possessions on all five continents,
and that a quarter Of the population
of the entire earth Is subject to her
~suzerainty. The extent of territory
owned by England amounts to 13, 000,.
600 square miles, and on this immense
tract is a population OF $4,000, 900.
During the last twenty-seven years the
English realm has increased by 2,S54,-
900 square miles, and within the same
period 125, 900. 900 have been added tc
the population.
Since 1871 the population of the
United Kingdom-England, Scotland
and Ireland-has increased from 49,.
600. 900 to 0 ZOO, 0Oe. AT the beginning
of this century England, Scotland and
Ireland had a population Of IL, O00, 900,
and France of 5000, 900, and yet today
the proportion of population in both
countries is almost alike. Russia has
increased her population by 1000, 00a
since 1870, the result being that she
has now a total population of $780,.
100000. Germany had a population OF

fury; now she had between so, 000, 00t
and go, 000, 900 Of whom almost a quar-.
ter is the result OF increase Of birth,
over deaths. Germany, too, is making
vast strides as a colonial power, and
her population in those distant pos.
sessions already amounts to a con.
siderable number.
