OYSTER PLANTERS LAUGH.
sly the Creenish Color Has Been in the
Oysters for Many Years.

The Keyport Weekly has the follow
ing to say about oysters:
Oystermen who have worked all
their life in Raritan bay laugh at the
claim that there is any poison in the
greenish colored oysters and some say
that the coloring matter is not due to
a mineral substance, but to vegetable
matter. They say that they have
eaten such oysters in a raw state
thousands of times and never expert
enced any i'll eff cts therefrom. Still it
is acknowledged that while the green
ness mas manifested itself at times
fer thirty years rast, vet i'll the early
days of oyster planting when the
shores of the bay and the rivers lead
ing into it were not planted thickly
with factories of various kinds, the
oysters were never found i'll a green
condition and so there may be some
thing i'll the claim that the coppery
color is due to mineral matter taken
in by hivalves from factory refuse,
but if so why should it only show it.
self late in the fall and why should
the Virginia oysters not be affected?
Way back in the eighties the oysters
were unusually poor one year and
very green in color. Many oystermen
then thought that it was due to the
fact that government dredges had been
disturbing the bottom and causing the
rising of foul gases from rottlng vegc-
table matter. The Keyport oyster
season is over for this year and conse-
quently the agitation in Newark can
do little, if any harm. If it shall
lead to an investigation on the part
of the State authorities, perhaps good
may result.

The Altitude Of Clouds.
from the London Telegraph.

Questions often arise about the height OF
clouds, and information on this subject 10
neither plentiful nor very definite. At the
Simla observatory a series Of photograph
metric measurements have been made dur
ing a period of twenty months, and the re-
suits are reported in the Indian Meteoro.
logical Memoirs Simla has an elevated
situation on mountain ridge. and the OBJ
servatory Is placed at an altitude of 7.2x
feet, which il above the ordinary lower
clouds. Hence the observations made re-
late to the lofty cirrus clouds, the mean
height of which, above Smla, in forty-seven
measurements, was found to be 80 40 feet,
or nearly six miles. The maximum was
$40 feet. OF the thicker cumulus clouds
the mean was 1904 feet-over mile and
one third-and the maximum Il, S1S feet. In
the warmer climate of SimIa these figures
are naturally larger than would be given by
average measurements of the altitude OF
British clouds.

PARK IMPROVEMENT
Proposed Identification of
Rock Greek Reservation.
APPEAL TO CONGRESS
DISTRICT AUTHORITIES TO ASK
FOR APPROPRIATION.
Three New Bridges and Shelter Houses
REPRESENTATIONS to Be
Enlarged Later.

When the District Commissioners feel that
conditions warrant their taking up the mat
ter they will ask Congress to authorize a
series of projects for the Identification and
improvement of the Rock Creek National
Park. The principal features OF these i'm
provements will consist of three bridges.
crossing the creek on the line of popular
driveways. and several shelter houses to be
located at different points in the park.
About one year ago the Improvements were
proposed by the Commissioners and Mr.. w.
]. Douglass, engineer Of bridges, directed
Mr.. II. c. Pratt. who was then employed
on some special work for the engineer de-
partment of the District to make sketches
of the proposed bridges and shelter houses
and their surroundings. which was done.
The sketches made by Mr.. Pratt on the
sites of the proposed improvements are re-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-12-26

produced with this article and afford an
idea of the system to be adopted in beau
tifying the national park.
The bridges and shelter houses will be
rustic in design so as to harmonic with
the surroundings. The cost of the bridges
is estimated at about $4,000 each, and
while serving the purpose of convenience for
those who use the highways in the park,
they will also. it Is considered, add vastly
to the attractiveness of the extensive pub
lie reservation.
Blagden Avenue Bridge.
One of the proposed bridges will be con-
structed across the creek on the line of the
new Blagden road. at the outlet of Blagden
avenue. connecting that highway with the
lower end Of the Broad Branch road. 1t
will also afford a direct connection with
Beach's driveway. The location Of this
bridge is about one and a half miles north
of the new Connecticut avenue bridge, now
in course of construction. The Blagden
avenue bridge will replace the temporary
wooden structure which now spans the
creek. 1t will be constructed of concrete
throughout. with the exception that the
structure will be faced with large cobble-
stones. 1t will have a span of eighty feet.
The iron railing will be of a simple type to
conform to the design of the bridge. This
bridge will be located about $50 feet from
the small pebble-faced bridge which was
built across Broad branch about two years
ago.
1t Is proposed to construct another bridge
just above the old Milk House ford. This
structure will also have span of eighty
feet. the curve of the arch will be segment
ed and concrete will be used In the struc-
ture. The trimmings-the arch-stones, but
tresses. betting and coping-will be Of
rustic type of masonry, which is attained
by cutting the stones with rough squared
joints. but without pitched edges. The en-
tire facing of this bridge, excepting the
trimmings. will be of what is known as
e-man-bOulder stones, which means
stones that can be handled conveniently by
one man. The general facing of the struc-
ture will be similar to that of the large
boulder bridge built last year on Beach's
driveway.
Old Milk House Ford.
The old Milk House ford was used many
