LORD CERTIFICATES "AsTRONO-
 MY FOR HOUSEMAIDS.'

If had to pick out one of all his pro-
 ductions, as being that which was most
 worth preservation, I should have no
 hesitation in naming Astronomy
 Without Mathematical although I ought to qualify this preference with
 the admission that I have no preten-
 sion whatever to independent scienti-
 tic knowledge. It is just worth while
 to give his own account to me of how
 he came to write this admirable book.
 Mrs Vaughn, the wife of the late Dean
 of Llandaff, who was a great friend of
 his, and a most benevolent and ener-
 getic worker for the good ofher sex, asked him one day if, to oblige her, he
 would write a treatise on astronomy
 for housemaids. He was too little vers- ed in the philosophy of handmaidens
 to undertake so highly specialized a
 task, but he said he would write some- thing upon astronomy which it would need no mathematics to understand, and Mrs. Vaughn naturally accepted his offer. The volume which he pro- duced must, have been both clear and simple, for I think I understood it all. It is not true. however, to say that it is altogether without mathematics, !" for as he gets on to the more abstruse
 parts of his subject he slides into the use of a certanl number of r1athemati- cal mormluae, and of many tech i nical terms. But this speaks wonders for it; although it was the work of
 an amateur, no professional so far as
 I know, has ever seriously attacked it, 1 and it is to be hoped that it will never be allowed to die out for want of ju- dicious re-edting from time to time.- E. s. Pember, K. C., in the Cornhil Magazine.

NEW OYSTER FIELDS.
Hoods Canal Producing an Excellent
Quality.

Within the next few years Hoods
canal, according to oyster men, will
develop into one of the greatest oyster
producing sections in the state, says
the Seattle Star. There are at present,
in the vicinity of Clifton, little town
situated at the upper extremity of the
canal more than 10000 acres of oys-
ter beds under cultivation.
In addition to the United States pre-
serve, consisting of 10000 acres,
there are many small beds, one OF
which made its first shipment to the
local market Sunday on the steamer
Perdita. This last bed is partially
owned by C. A. Christopher. proprietor
of general supply store at 11OS Sec
ond street. Sunday Mr.. Christopher
shipped three sacks of oysters, from
Union City, the first output of reg
ular cultivated oyster bed for market
ing purposes sent from the Hoods ca
nal district.
Mr.. Christopher first discovered the
oyster growing quality of the canal
bed two years ago, when he learned
while on a hunting trip that the gov
ernment owned a preserve there. Dur
ing his trip he fell in with a fisher
man, who informed him of the possi-
bilities which lay in the oyster indus
| try there.
BY right of having located prior tC
the establishment of the government
preserve in 1890, Mr.. Christopher
| partner was enabled to purchase th'
land at S1.25 per acre.
Oyster seeds were then laid along
the canal bottom covering a space o.
1876 acres. For the past two years tht
oysters have been growing and mul
/ tiplying with great rapidity.
i Mr.. Christopher says he believed
the canal within the next few year
will produce as many oysters as an!
other section in this state.
I'm the two years during which my
self and partner have been cultivatini
our bed, | have been more please,
with the showing made each day. Tn
oysters are of a fine quality and mul
tiply with great rapidity. 1t has bee
predicted that oysters will not groN
there. We have already disprove
that assertion"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-11-03

Lansing, Mich, arrived in Boise last
night, having been on the road a lit
tie over two months. says the Boise
Capital News.
The REQ Mountaineer is the name
of the 16 horse power automobile
the men are driving on a double
transcontinental trip, the first double
trip across the continent that has ever
been tackled by an automobile, al
though there have been five men who
have made single trips across, Mr.. Me-
gargel being one of the five, having
come through here last June driving
car named "Old Steady" in a 1000
mile race from New York to Port
land.
Mr.. Megargel, when interviewed by
the Capital News representative to-
day, said; THE roads in Idaho are
the best we have struck since leaving
Indiana. There is rock enough in the
soil to make a good footing. and
while the roads are very dusty at this
time of year, our car ran along fire.
quently at a 35-mile an hour clip.
You certainly have some pretty good
grades in Idaho but we do not mind
the grades so much, II the roadbed is
hard and it generally is pretty hard
in this state.
ION the road from HALEY to Boise
we ran through the greatest drove of
cattle it has even been my lot to see.
There were some 5000 head. divided
into several bands, but they filled
up the road from one side to the other
and swarmed out over the prairies
! on either hand. Some of the big
steers crowded up pretty close, for
they did not like the smell or sound
that issued from the REQ Mountain
eer, but we managed to wind our way
through the entire bunch without any
serious trouble"
