in 1869. Could the lake be utilized for the
production of food fishes or oysters. its
extent IS evidently so great as to afford
opportunity for a large industry. But the
conditions are shown to be such as to be
unfavorable to the adult oyster and des-
trucliVe TO the young oyster when in it's
Iree-SWlmming stage of development.
There is abundance of food. as the water
teens with brine sbrimps and insect
larvae. The lake is specially rich in min
ute plants, particularly diatoms, which
constitute the chief food of the oyster.
The absence of fish is supposed 10 explain
the great abundance Of fish food, the
quantity of which exceeds the supply US
ually found in the sea Catfish, it is sug-
gested, might, perhaps, flourish near the
mouths of the rivers where the water is
nearly fresh.
For oysters the best degree of salinity
is that indicated by a density of from
1O10 to 1.020. They will not thrive in
water containing the full amount of salt
contained in ordinary sea water but re-
quire brackish or semlsalt water Some
are found in water OF a density of / .O23.
a density less than one-seventh that of
Great Salt Lake, but these are small and
of inferior quality. At times the density
of the water of the lake is as high as Ito
"a degree of salinity which oysters and
fish cannot endure. 1t has been supposed
rivers might be fresh enough to be plant
ed with oysters, but observations show
that the areas ontrolled by the rivers
vary greatly and rapidly in extent, ac-
cording TO the season Of the year. The
Weber river for example, pours 2S times
as much wafer into the lake at one sea-
son as at another, so that the huctuation
of the position of the zone in which the
water has the desired density of 101 or
1.02 is very great. Even the wind a times
drives the salt waller into the area or
dinarily occupied by fresh water, making
the percentage of salt al any given place
uncertain. AS for the idea that oysters
or fish could be acclimated ''by degrees. >"
Mr.. Moore thinks it unlikely that acclima-
tlzation which has failed of accomplish
ment in the sea in the course Of long
ages could be accomplished in Great Salt
Lake within a reasonable time He dis.
poses also of the idea that the salts in the
lake differ materially from those in the
sea, They are substantially the same and
In the same proportions. The estimate Is
made that the tributaries of the lake add
to it about 1900 tons of salt yearly. Tt
has been held in some quarters that the
$1,000 tons of salt annually taken from
the lake by saltmakers mush soon reduce
its sainity within practicable limits But
only 40 900 tons of this amount is table
salt, and the lake holds 400, 900 900 tons of
it, so that it will take 14,00O years to re-
duce the salt to the limits required for
oyster culture. Upon the whole, it is con
ciuded that the Chesapeake is not destined
to suffer by the competition of the Great
Salt Lake

THE LEGEND OF MASS FASs.
story of n Retired Pirate who Lived
Along the SchuyIIxfII.

Those who don't believe in ghosts @il
pooh-pooh this story OF course. Those
who agree with Hamlet concerning the
contents of our philosophy may look at it
differently. Whether fiction or truth, it is
worth the telling. Besides, there are those
who believe that the shade of the retired
pirate may still be seen wandering down
Brick road attended by the shadowy fig
ures of two gigantic cats.
Back in the ffties a lonely Dutchman
lived in that classic portion of the Quaker
City known as the Neck. His solitary
dwelling stood about half a mile from
what is now Sixteenth and Porter streets,
and the sole companions of his dwelling
were two gigantic cats, coal black, and
having yellow eyes that spark ed with I'M
usual lusire. The little Neckers feared
this man, known to them only as Mass
Fass," and used to whisper awsomely
that before their day he owned a big black
boat in which ne and two comrades used
to come up the Schuylkill with a heavy
load of goods. But during the fifties Mass
Fass was seemingly the quietest KIND of a
citizen. Every day as he sat at meals
his cats sat with him, taking their share
of the best snarling and splitting if the
best were not forthcoming promptly.
When Mass Fass walked abroad one cat
went before while the other guarded the
house. Save the feline comrades and him
self no living soul crossed the reputed
pirates threshold. Nor did Mass Fass
ever pass the time o'day with any of those
he met while sauntering down Long lane
or Brick road, hazel wand in hand, coon
skin cap on head.
One day neighboring Neckers were as
founded by seeing two strange men enier
the lonely dwelling, where they were made
welcome and invited to partake of a re
past. For once the cats were banished.
scowling at the visitors from the chimney
corner. That evening there was great
merriment in the domicile of Mass Fass.
but from iheuceforth was the reputed pi-
rate never seen alive of men. But noe
turnal bowls disturb d the rest OF other
Necbers until finally Mass Fass door was
broken in.
Two black animals fed before the new
arrivals who found upon the floor what
was once Mass Fass, torn and chewed bv
his cats. The popuar theory Yves that the
cats killed him out of Jealousy for his
visitors. Others limited thar the visitors
were evil spirits come to carry away The
pirates soul. and the cats herds who de-
stroyed his body. Many yet living renem-

know no harm of him." one aged woman
added: HE meddlcd with none" and a

WOOL.

Boston, May 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say to-mor-
row:
The wool market continues strong
and active. The feature of the week S
business has been the continued large
demand for export, the inquiry being
principally for Australian woods in
bond and for territories. The move
ment in the latter bids fair to assume
large proportions unless the holders of
such woods raise their asking prices to
higher figures than foreigners will pay
Already, however, several million
pounds of territory have been sold for
export. About 100000 pounds are re-
ported as having been sold in Philadel-
phia last week to Germany, the wool
cos Ing the purchasers % cents clean
while additional lines have been taken
here during the past week. Prices are
strong. The country markets are ex-
cited.
The sales of the week in Boston
amount to 4,113,000 pounds domestic
and 4,200,00O pounds foreign. making a
total of 8,315,500, against total Of
7,599,000 for the previous week, and a
total of 1,402,500 for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since January l.,
1899, amount to S9,603,S00 pounds,
against 46,00S,310 pounds last year at
this time.

Reports of serious damage to grow

Stocks--When it was announced on
Monday morning that some Of the most
powerful financial interests in the
country had banded themselves togeth-
er for the support of prices in the stock
market, it dissipated very largely the
timidity of holders of the group of
securities which had been so marvel
ously increased in prices under the
favoring activities of the late ex-Gov-
ernor Flower. 1t also caused the pro-
fessional operators who always stand
ready to attack values of securities at
any vulnerable point, to pause in their
purpose and cover short contracts left
outstanding since Saturday. The cap
italists behind the Flower group APP
parently felt so much encouraged with
the firmness and confidence displayed
by the market since the crisis that they
made up their minds to-day to complete
its rehabilitation and to put prices
back to where they were on Friday last
1t was not until the latter part of the
day that this purpose seemed to be
seriously in hand. In fact the Flower
stocks as a group were conspicuous
during the early part of the day. Their
position seemed to be left to the nat
ural course Of events and the general
trend of the market. 1t was the events
OF the day in the general market that
seemed to confirm the purpose Of the
financial leaders. These events were
a very marked Discrimination on the
part of the personal holders of secur-
tiles to proceed with any liquidation
and a quiet and persistent outside de-
mand for wide range of stocks. Some
very large transactions in bonds, espec-
tally in recent or contemplated issues
of railroads of the and per cent
grades gave evidence of pressing de-
