OYSTERS AS SOURCE OF DISEASE
Danger of Contamination by Sewage
The English Scare.
From the New York Sun

From the New York SUM-
A serious impression to the effect that
oysters were no longer to be regarded as a
safe article of food was created in England
last year by the fatal results which fol-
lowed banquets given in November by the
mayors of Winchester and Southampton.
Out of total of 207 guests who attended
these two feasts. III were attacked by gas
tro-enteritis shortly afterward. Every one
of these had eaten raw oysters, twenty-one
of them developed typhoid fever and five of
them died.
The sensation aroused by these circum-
stances led to an investigation by the
which have just been made public and are
the subject of comment in the well known
London medical journal, the Lancet. 1t
appears that the oysters eaten at the two
mayors feasts came from Ellsworth, near
Portsmouth, where they were obtained
from bed situated within 100 feet of the
outlet of the main sewer of the village.
the bed being uncovered at low tide
and subject to constant and direct con-
tamination by the sewage. The danger
arising out of this condition of things was
pointed out by the medical department of
the local government board as long ago as
1876, yet these Ellsworth oyster beds have
been used to supply the British oyster
market, in spite OF the warning. ever since
at the cost of the five lives which have
been mentioned and to the great injury of

created by the disastrous banquets of
Southampton and Winchester.

How Animals Swim.
From the Philadelphia Pnblic ledger.

=
Almost all animals know how to swim
without having to learn it. AS soon as they
fall into the water or are driven into II they
instinctively make the proper motions, and
not only manage TO keep afloat, but propel
themselves without trouble. Exceptions are
the monkey the camel, giraffe and llama
which cannot swim without assistance
Camels and llamas have to be helped across
water, and CRATES and monkeys drown If
they enter Ii. Now and then both of the
latter species manage to cross waterways
when they are driven to extremities just as
human beings occasionally can keep them
selves above water through sheer fright
A funny, though able, swimmer is the
rabbit. He submerges his body with the
exception of head and tail. The latter sticks
away up in the air, and his hind legs make
soap suds" as he churns the water madly
to get away. But with all this awkward
ness he Is a swift swimmer, and is only
beaten by the squirrel among the land AMI
mails. The squirrel swins with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and his
head held high. He cleaves the waves like
duck, and a man in a rowboat has all he
can do to keep abreast of the swimming
squirrel. One thing that none of the land
living animals does is to dive. No matter
how hard pressed a swimming deer, rab-
bit, squirrel or other purely terrestrial AMI
NAL may be, it will remain above water
But the muskrat, beaver. ice bear and other
dive Immediately.

ers that the raw oyster eater is exposed to
two kinds of risk-one very serious the
| other not essentially greater than that
which we run in regard to foods generally.
Where an oyster bed is located so that ii is
uncovered at low water and sewage is dis
charged in its immediate neighborhood the
risk may fifty he compared to that of
drinking water from a well receiving con-
tamlnated leakage. On the other hand
when an oyster bed is in deep water and
the nearest discharge of sewage is far
perhaps mileS-away, the possibility that
such sewage may render the oyster in
furious to health is characterized as risk
of much the same order as that which is
run by the consumer of London water or
unboiled milk" In other words it is a
risk which thousands of persons take every
day without injury.
These facts of peculiar interest to us
here in New York, because the effect of the
winchester and Southampton banuuets
operated at first to discredit our American
oysters among tImid people at home So

CUBA'S LAST BUCCANEERS.
Fate Of Confrecinas, the Leader of the
Freebooters.
From Harper's Weekly

From Harpers Weekly.
AS late as the year 1895 the waters ada
cent TO Porto Rico were infested by a blood
thirsty band of pirates led by a Spanard
named Confrecinas. 1t was the proud boast
of the buccaneer chief that he neither gave
nor asked quarter. In Mar0 of the year
mentioned Capt. John Drake Sloat who
twenty-one years later raised the American
flag over California was placed in COM
mand of the sloop-of-war Grampus, with
orders to proceed to the West Indies and
wipe the pirates of the ocean. The Gram
pus cruised for some weeks without catch
ing sight of any pirate vessel One MORN
ing, while the sloop was lying at anchor in
the harbor of San JUAN, a man who had
swum ashore from merehAntRvess cap
tured by Confrecfnas, nepoyted that the
pirate brig was anchored In the Boca de
Inferno Mouth of HELP, nm solsscure harbor

from San Juan that very day.
Confrecinas knew tie Gran1pas we'll SO to

grape on board the schooner and sailed
forth The pirates unsuspectiux any resist

with the black flag and SKULL aam crossbones

made by Sloat and his crew until the ves-
sells were almost aiengsfae, when the ma

forced to run his brig ashore. Forty of the
crew with the buccaneer chief were cap

to San Juan, court-martialed the next day
and shot. Confrecnas was the last to die
