TRAITS OF THE OYSTER,

Persons who eat oysters frequently
nave doubtless observed that now and
then the oysters set before them are
more or less green in color. There is
a common prejudice against a green oys-
ter. Some persons attribute the c~oloring
to disease and others to parasites or to
the presence of copper Scientific inves-
tigation has demonstrated that the
''greening'' of oysters is in reality due to
the fact that the oysters have fed on
green plants of simple structure, which
are sometimes found in abundance in
brackish or salt water. G. F. Lang
worthy of the office of experiment sta
tons of the United States department of
agriculture, in a bulletin on Fish as
Food" says that in the opinion of those
Who have invested the matter carefully,
the green color in oysters is harmless. In
Europe green oysters are more. highly
priced than others. The green color may
be removed by placing the oysters for a
time in water where the green plants are
not abundant.
1t is a common practice of oyster deal
ers, instead of selling the oysters in the
condition in which they are taken from
the beds in salt water, to place them for
a period of about As hours in fresh water,
in order to fattcn them. The oystermen
call this operation floating or laying
out The process gives theoyster plump
ness and rotundity, it's bulk and weight
being so increased as to materially en-
nance it's selling value. The belief is coc-
mon among oysteTmen that this .fatten-
ing is due to the actual gain of flesh and
fat, and that the nutritive value of the
oyster is increased by the process. Oys-
tiers lose much of their salty flavor in
floating however, and it is an estab-
lished fact that if the '~fattened'' oysters
are left too long on the floats they be-
come lean again. Careful experiments
have shown that oysters taken out of
their natural beds in salt water and plac-
ed in fresh water actually gain in weight.
This is due largely to the fact that they
lose mineral weight and gain a consid-
cradle amount of water. But there is an

There is to be a one mile skating contest
day evening, January 10, and as both Of
the contestants have records much inter-
est is manifested in the event. j. I. Con-
way and A. Deloney will be the contestants
and will skate for a purse and the gate re-
ceipts. The race is to be pulled off at 9
O'Clock under the J. S. Johnson pursuit
start. The skates to be worn by the men
will be 10 inches long and are known as the
expert long-reach racing skate. Both men
are in good form and are training hard for
the event. They are on the ice every after
noon and making a fine showing. The
track is known as a FLAP rink and the one
mile record is held by J. s.. Johnson who
made the distance in 2:45 at Minneapolis in
1896. Conway has a record that crowds
this very closely and hopes to give a good
account of himself on Tuesday.
Conway holds the championship for this
state and held the championship for Duluth,
Mimi. He also held the amateur champion
ship for the state of Minnesota during his
residence there. Deloney has never before
entered a professional race but the winter

looked upon as a coming man. He has
been three years in Butte but before COM
ing here he skated in many of the amateur
races in the state of Michigan. He is smaller

ing principles.

accompanying loss of nutrients. When
IN their natural condition oysters contain
from one-elghth to One-fifth more nutri-
tive material than when fattened.
1t IS interesting to note that the gov
ernmcnt's experiments, conducted at the
New Jersey stations, thus far have shown
that oysters freshened by "foating' will
not remain alive as long as those taken
directly from salt water. Freshening
really reduces the life period of an oyster
one-half. In the opinion Of many consum-
crs, the Improvement in appearance and
flavor of an oyster due to the dilution of
salts more than ~compensates for the loss
in nutritive value. Prof. Langworthy re-
marks: "Often flavor has a value which
cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.
oysters come nearer to milk than all
most any other common food material, as
regards both the amounts and the relative
proportions of nutrients. Generally
speaking a quart of oysters contains on
an average about the same quantity of
actual nutritive substances as a quart Of
milk, or thr~ee-fourths of a pound of beef,
two pounds Of fresh goldfish, or one
pound of bread. The nutritive substance
OF an oyster contains protein, the sub
stance whose principal function is to
make or repair blood, muscle, tendon,
bone, brain, and other heterogeneous mat

Hevner, as before described, is an ex-
ceptlonal player and an all-round table
player. He has one Shot which he calls
a long draw for position. 1t is a shot
which he can use once or twice in a game:
1T occurs very frequently. The cue ball
is behind the two object balls. He plays
a very strong right twist on the cue ball
and drives the object ball clean around
the table while the cue ball, under a
clever draw, comes back hitting the
cushions before counting on the second
object ball. When you have mastered this
shot you can figure on being hailed
champion of your club.

Mystical Shots For ANA

The coming winter will find the Amer
lean game of billiards the king of indoor
sports. There will be the marvellous runs
of which our amateurs talk. There is
scarcely an amateur billiardist in this
city but what would like to be the cham
pion, and all gaze with interest Upon the
work of sue well-known men as Alex
ander Taylor, Of Chicago. Hevner, of
Philadelphia, Hendrick, Of New Haven,
Stark and Poggenburg, of New York,
and j. De Nun Smith, of st. Louis.

A number of frills come up with bill
lizards every year and to the student of
the game the reverse twist has always
been an object Of consideration, special
ly IN trick shots. Stark, the New York,
Champion, is Past Grand Master Of the
reverse twist trick. Here he takes an
ordinary shot such as is frequently on
the table and makes out of it a spec
tacular shot. Thu three balls are in a
line and he hits with great force the
object ball driving a twist across the
table while the cue ball makes three
cushions and a successful carom. It
takes a very strong wrist to do this shot.
The American game of billiards is a
game known on both sides of the water
as a great game. In fact, the Prince of
Wales has discarded the four ball En-
glish game and insists on playing the
American style; and it is said that the
prince is somewhat of a trick shot play
er himself.
But if you master the great shots given
you by the great amateur champions of
the country you will find yourself in a
position to be the amateur champion
from this city next year.

THE TURF.

The doping" or horses, says the New

greater pitch in California this winter than
ever before. The officials are virtually
powerless to prevent it, as the system has

the drugs can be administered by syringe,
suppository or drenching. The syringe is
comparatively old-fashioned, but it seems
to be still used on the Pacific coast.

shots which the amateur may we'll study
is what he calls a one cushion shot. It is

Another one of Poggenberg's shots for
amateurs and one that should be studied
by all aspirants is the follow kiss shot.
A diagram of this shot is presented. This
shot Is played very frequently during the
ordinary game. Two balls are living
near the cushions while the cue ball is
almost opposite one ball in the center of
the table. When making this shot the
cue ball is hit on top with a slight twist
which sends it spinning down the line
laying its course to the cushion and then
r~ebounding.
, The object ball is hit with sufficient
force to drive it to three cushions and
with plenty of practice this leaves a
beautiful set up after the cracker jack
