and from 2C0 to 400 larvae will become at
tached to single collector. The larvae
are about 1-150 of an inch long, and float
on the surface of the water until they
stick to the collectors. The latter are
gathered in boxes about eight feet long
by two feet wide, and are so arranged
as to admit of a free circulation of sea
water. By August the collectors have
generally become pretty we'll covered,
and they are then taken ashore to be
cleaned. This job is attended to by the
women, who wear picturesque and
serviceable costume, consisting of tight
ly fitting red flannel knickerbockers,
black stockings, a shirt waist with the
sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and an
odd-lookng sUnbonnet. Their duty is to
cleanse the young oysters from all kinds
Of impurities, as well as to remove the
small shells which might interfere with
the oysters growth. After this opera
ton the tiles are replaced in the boxes,
where they remain until the autumn. At
this season they are taken out again,
and the oysters have grown to the size
of silver quarter, and are old and
strong enough to take care of themselves
without anything to cling to, and they
are consequently removed.
Most of this work is also done by the
women, who seem to be more expert
than the men, 1t is not an easy job,

of all the care taken, there is a loss OF
from 20 to % per cent of the oysters A
woman holds the collector in her hand
and uses a specially made pair of scis-
sors to remove the young oyster from
the collector The mollusk's next sta
ton in life is what is known as an am
bulance, which is an apparatus designed
to protect it from it's various enemies.
The ambulance is a long, shallow box,
with wire netting at the top and bot
tom, through which the water can pass
freely, but which keeps fish, crabs etc.
on the outside. The boxes contain as
many as 5000 oysters, and are firmly
staked down to the bottom Of the wa
ter.
The oysters remain in these boxes for
three months, during which time they
are well looked after and given FREQUENT
WaShingS. AT the end of this time thew
are from two to two and a half inches
in diameter. They are then large enough
to be sold, but there is not much profit
in oysters of that size, so that they are
thrown down in the water, being now
large enough to take care of themselves.
and allowed to remain there for two
or three years. After they reach the
age of three years they do not grow
any more, so that there is no object in
keeping them any longer, and they are,
accordingly, sold. These various pro
cesses require much patience and skill

The perennial discussion over the ques-
ton of the cultivation and protection Of
oysters along the shores of the Chesa-
peake makes the methods in use in other
parts of the world of great interest to all
in the oyster industry of the state as
well as those who are. One of the most
novel, according to American ideas of
raising the bivalves, is that of the peo-

of Goes, on the Island of South Beveland,

one in the town gets his or her living

Whole families are engaged In it all the
year round, and if the pecuniary results
are not very large, comfortable liveli-
hood is the result.
The most important part of the work
begins in April, when the collectors are
placed in position. These are rounded

A remarkable record in the consunp-
ton Of alcoholic beverages was made
Monday night by Joseph Evans, twenty
years old, 231 North Montford avenue
Seventeen glasses of whisky, two glasses
of beer and one of 'half-and- half' went
down his throat in seven minutes. The
feat was done on wager, and although
Evans Won the bet he nearly lost his
life
According to Evans story he and
crowd of young men were in the saloon
of Nicholas Ertel, 619 Duncan place, about
o'clock Monday night. Evans boosted
OF MS capacity for drink, whereupon one
Of his companions, Edward Burke ex-
pressed a doubt as to Evans being able
to drink more than an one else in the
place Evans then said he would drink
more than Burke could pay for The
latter agreed and Evans consumed rapid
~ the drinks already enumerated which
cost all the cash Burke possessed. Evans
friends were congratulating the young
man On his victory, when he suddenly
reeled and fell to the floor. He was pick
ed up unconscious and taken to his home
A physician was summoned, who applied
q stomach pump and administered NOR
pIia, but the young mans condition was
regarded as critical until yesterday morn
ing, when he was able to sit up in bed
and talk.
Evans is evidently proud of the record
made, but says he has no desire to re-
peat the experiment.

NEW YORK, Nov M-The most strik-

ness, compared with the recent level ac-
tiv1ty Neither the public nor the large
operators seemed to be taking any part
in the market and prices drffted rather
aimlessly and hesita tingly The continued
weakness in some stocks, especially Steel
and Wire, at the opening, was offset by
the, aggressive strength of others North
ern Pacific opened over a point higher
and extended the advance later to over
two points. There was Independent
strength shown at different times by
way stocks, which lifted them / to H.
points each. There seemed to be some
inl1ling of the favorable character of the
bank statement before it's appearance on
lated rumors since yesterday that some
mysterious influence was at work which
would spoil the good features of the
statement. Shorts covered heavily in ad-
vance of the statement and a general
rally occurred which lifted the whole
market well over last night, many stocks
rising point or more. The bears were
much struck by the failure of any large
buying demand to develope with the easy
money conditions indicated, and thew put
out fresh short lines in the last few min
utes Of trading, making the closing active
and weak and near the lowest exc pt
for the stocks Whers particular strength
had been shown. The market at no time
showed the urgent liquidation which was
the feature yesterday, but new buying
was equally lacking, even when the tech
nical question became distinctly favora-
bic. So far as the known movements of
money show, the banks received less than

BERLIN MARKET DEPRESSED.
All Securities Weak, Especially Coal
and Iron Shares.


BERLIN, Nov. 5-Uninfiuenced by
the New York markets, the Berlin bourse
last week resumed it's pessi1nfstic tone
All lines of securities were weak, coal
and iron shares being particularly so,
losing almost all the recent gains. This
reaction is variously explained, in addi-
ton to the renewal of unsatisfactory re-
ports from the iron industry, the Agra
rlan proposal in the reichstag contem-
plating a tariff war with the United
States, and the motion emanating from
the same quarter, to intensity the evils
of the bourse law, there were depressing
factors l. the general anxiety regarding
the Car and in the publication of the
estimates of bank dividends, showing
lower returns than those of 1899.
All those elements combined to in
tensify reaction. Domestic government
funds remained weak, although the de-
cline in them was but slight. Foreign
railway securities were heavily traded
in. Quotations for American railways
caused the Germans to realize largely
on their holdings.
The loans recently raised in London,
and especially New York, changed the
banking balance in favor of Germany,
which, in the opinion of the Bouersen
Zeitung, relieves the market here of all
fear Of gold exports. Indeed, this jour
