OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE
Submarine Boats Will Make the Blyalve
 More Accessible.

mOr6 AcceSs1Dies
 The submarine boat will revolution ize the oyster industry. When h Ches- 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 can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets, for the fish have no fear of the object they evidently consider a 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 eessful submarine voyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer. for the supply in sh How water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet, and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut viii go and. gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at price no great CT than that paid for the common va rieties. She will also ny pearl fishing, now conducted at an enormous expense Of life, for by strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found in localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water. need not fear, and her div CTS. insead of gathering np the oysters by the single handful, can gather them by the hushel-Lippincott

 the Cemetery Worker.
 The grayediggers in the different bnrying grounds have their own phil losophy of life. One Of them who has been in the business nearly 25 years, and who takes an exceedingly cheerful view Of life notwithstanding his occupation, said that when he first went into it he felt kind of shaky." but that now he would as soon dig a grave as do anything else, says the Baltimore Sun. Eve seen some mighty queer things in my time." he said. I've seen people-mourners mean catch sight of name on the card tied on to some flower piece and then they have gone straight to work to tear LID the whole thing. I'll tell you another thing I've noticed. When a woman comes along and makes a big fuss at her husbands funeral and says, T can't live without him! l know that in few weeks time I'lI see her out here leaning on some young fellows arm. It's never failed. It's happened every time. But the people-women and men too-Who don't take on lot. but just keep still and sometimes don't even shed q tear, that's the kind that gTieVes. You don't see that kind mar rying again so soon.''

American Ostrich Farming.

\ writer in Popular Science describes ostrich farming in southern Califor- mia as a growing industry. The first birds were imported about 13 years ago, and now there are farms at Nor walk and South Pasadena stocked with hundreds of ostriehes born in Califor- nia. Every few months the male birds are stripped of their white plumes, each bird yielding about 80 worth of feathers annually. The birds are also sold to menageries. a fine pair being worth from $250 to $500 The hatch ing of the eggs requires forty=two days, the hen covering them in the daytime and the male bird at night. The pre- vaiIing color of the hen is gray, and that of the male black, so that their choice of the hours for sitting on the eggs corresponds with the time when each is less easily seen.

cANADA,s GREATEST GLORY.
Vast and Ancient Wilderness That Rests
 the Traveller.

the Traveller.
 The greatest glory Of Canada is not it's modern progress. but it's vast and ancient wilderness. says Scribner's. # you weary of the sameness and rof- itableness of everything you know, go where I went last year, to the upper waters of the Ottawa, where Il beaver is the master architect and the eose is king of the woods. See for yourself, as I saw, that the Ottawa and the Ga tineau, appearing to come fire l widely distant regions, have their origin close together and are twins Behold these two children of the lakes, nourished from the same generous breast. Trace their courses and see that, though journeying far in widely different di- rections, they finally arrive at com mon destination. Nobody knows all about that headwater country around the sources of the Ottawa. 1t is a prolific game region, where sportsmen rarely go, for the simple reason that they can get all the hunting they want nearer to the railroad. There are plenty of deer close to almost any Canadian Pacific station west of Pem- broke, and it is not much trouble to get chance at a moose in two days from Deux Rivieres, Roekeliffe, or Mattawa. Not many hunting parties start from there, either. and I suppose the reason is that for thousands of miles to the west the woods, prairies and mountains lie close to the railroad and afford almost limitless opportuni- ties The territory inc1osed by the Ottawa and the Gatineau has been from immemorial times the home of the Algonquin Indians, and they still remain there, in such primitive inno- cence that they receive no annuity from the Dominion government. In this they are unlike the Indians of the United States or their brother tribes Of Canada.

A report on the precious stone indus try of the Enited States in the year 1898 has been issued by the Geological Survey. Some of it's salient features are: The finding of rock crystal at Mokelumne Hill, Gal, Of such purity and size as to almost rival the Japan ese, and the successful cutting of these in the United States up to over seven inches in diameter; the increased out put of the Fergus county, Mont, sap phire mines and the yielding of fine blue gems up to two carats each, and the discovery of q new locality where the stones are more varied in color than those of any known locality; the continued output Of the new Mexican turquoise mines and the opening up of mines in Nevada; the finding of mag nificent green and other colored tour malines at Paris Hill, Me, and Had dam Neck, Conn; the increased sale of Australian opals: greater use of all the fancy or semi-preciops stones; the greater importation of uncut diamonds and the increase of the diamond cut ting industry in the United States; the unprecedented increase in the impor- tation of cut diamonds and the revival of the precious stone industry in the United States. The value of all the precious stones found in the United States in 1898 was $160.920, as com pared with s136.675 in 1897.
