The Society for the Protection of An cient Buildings in London Is making an effort to save the historic edifices of England from the ravages of time. Smoke seems to be a destructive agent. Every ton of coal burned sends nearly fifty pounds of sulphuric acid into the air. And rain water mixed with this destructive ingredient melts out the lime which forms the cement that holds the stone together and converts it into soft, loose gypsum, which fills the pores formerly occupied by solid lime and rots the stone to a mere loosely held sponge of sand or shell particles, which you can often scrape freely away with your finger. Often this rotting action goes to a depth of six inches or more, and the soft outer part of an old wall is hardly firmer than the moist sand of a sea beach. The society has for years recommended a coating of limewash made by slaking lime with boiling wa ter, and applied from time to time, so that the stone should be protected from the weather

on the Left Side.
why does an oyster sleep and live
on it's left side:" asked man of New
Orleans s-Democrat writer. "Well,
l suppose we will have to put the ques-
ton to nature, and nature has her own
way Of answering questions. have
been foOling around in the oyster wa
tiers Of Louisiana and Mississippi
good many years, and l am in pO-
sitiOn to say that the oyster always re-
mains on its left side BY this l mean
that this is the natural position of the
oyster. l may remark paranthetically
that this is one of the difficulties oys-
ter culturists have to deal with, for in
rebedding oysters and punching them
an oyster Is occasionally thrown upon
his right side and wedged so that he
can't turn over. He simply dwindles
away and dies by degrees. Put upon
his right side and forced to remain
upon his right side the oyster cannot
live.
'Of course there is an explanation
part Of the oyster shell is the top and
movable part If the oyster is put in
its natural position-that is. OH its left
side-it requires only a small amount
Of physical energy to open and raise
the right-hand section of the shell
when the oyster wants to feed. Re-
verse the position and put the oyster
on the right-hand side, and we find
an extremely difficult problem, from
the oysters standpoint. In order to
open the shell for feeding processes 1t
is necessary for the oyster to raise not
only the weight of the left hand section
Of the shell, but its own weight.
I'VE can readily understand the diff
Guilty and even the impossibility Of this
task If we know anything at all about
the architecture Of the oyster shell and
the nature and constitution of the Oys-
ter. So II we reverse the natural posi-,
ton Of the oyster, put him on his right
side and wedge him in so he can't turn
over, we simply smother and starve
him to death. OF course l am just
theorizing about this thing. There may
be some other explanation Of the left
handed life of the oyster, but from my
experience l am inclined to think the
explanation given a reasonable one"
