Feeding Oysters Artificially.
From the National Geographic Magazine.

From the National Geogra phic Magazine
1t has been observed that oysters grow
much more slowly on some beds than on
others; that in certain places they fail to
fatten. These places were usually on over
crowded beds. and sometimes good results
could be secured by transpIanting or thin
ming out. Qualitative and cumulative
study of the diatoms (Which constitute the
food of the oysters1 on beds where the
oysters fatten well. and on other beds
where they fatten poorly, showed that the
number of diatoms per liter of water was
very much greater in the former than In the
latter.
1t was therefore believed that IL the sup
ply of diatoms could be Increased on the
unproductive beds the oysters on them
would grow aifH fatten. Experiments along
these lines were recently inaugurated at
Lynnhaven. va. Under the Immediate di-
rection of DR., 9H. +. Moore of the bureau
of fisheries A small cove was selected
where the bottom and the salintty of the
water were f4vofa6fe, but where diatoms
were scarce Fommercial fertilizers of GER
tain kinds were USED to furnish food for
the diatoms. and II. was very soon found
that the Iatten greatly Increased In album

cove fattened rapidly. Details of the pro-
cess need not.be given here but It Is be-
lieved that the experiments will demon

commercial basis.

Gulf Between England and India.

From Blackwoo Magazine
1t Is In ideas, moral and religious. that the
gulf between and our Indian subjects
Is unfathomable, impossible. Their esti-

fact not infrequently forgotten both In the
civil and domestic government OF India.

heaped excavations on the head of an Eng

SHIPPED. When the girl, for whom he. had
paternal fondness. asked him what she

Gated durwan-seems stranger still In the
native judge, a man of ability and culture
who, as Sir Alfred Lyall tells US in one of
his striking essays on Indian life and

ways and worshiped with a devotion which
none but fool would ridicule Can we
imagine an English judge worshiping FIVE

One could wish that the doctor of medi-

letters in cases of mental distress. There
is tonic quality in books, properly chosen,
which is as beneficent to the mind as
change Of scene or doses of fat water. Peo-
pie 90 not realize that the shortest way
from the quagmire OF the modern unrest is
a total forgetfulness of self. and few know
that the healthiest nepenthe Is to be found
in reading. The word disease signifies the
negation of ease, and most forms of neu-
rotic sickness are deliberate effort on the
part of the invalid to make himself uneasy,
If doctors were to prescribe a course of
Cervarltes, or Moliere, or BalZac, or Sterne,
or Dickens, even Shakespeare, and as
strictly enjoin thoroughness in this course,
as they would if the treatment were a mat
ter of diet or medicine, many of their pa
tents would begin to mend from the first
moment that these magicians had given
them a forgetfulness of self. 1t Is true that
Poe declares in the Raven" "vainIy I

world is overwhelmingly against him. Good
reading is forgetfulness of cares, and By
the same token. 1t Is an education in all
those qualities which make life sweet and
greatly to be desired. 1t Is the valetudnar-
ian who most constantly tells one, petu-
lantly enough, that he never reads books.
