:3EAOLY FOES OF OYSTER.
Estimated That SO, 100000 Damage
Is Done Annually by Star
fish Alone.

1t is estimated by the fish commission
that damage amounting to fully $4,000
| OOO is done annually to the oyster indus
try by the starfsh, the oysters most
dangerous foe.
For several years a persistent effort
has been made by the commission, says
! the New York Times, to arrest the on
slaught Of this enemy. While success
has come in some measure, reports of
ground being almost devastated are fire.
quently received and especially from the
bees in the brackish waters.
vast swarms or schools of Starfsh
| sweep across the oyster beds, devouring
the oysters in their path. Almost total
annlhllation of the oyster is the result.
The coming OF the pest is without
warning. The migration is said to take
place IN the form OF a "winnow," NOV
| ing IN some cases at the rate Of 500 feet
day. At first the starfish feeds upon
the tiny spat, as it grows, increasing
the size OF its prey, though even full
grown fish rarely feed on oysters over
| two years old
Small oysters are often taken bodily
into the stomach of the starfish. The
larger oysters are opened by the fish by
means OF the suckers or feet, which eX-
tend from the mouth to the tips of the
| arms
These feet are tubular and are ex-
tended by having a fluid pumped into
cavities by a special apparatus in the
| body OF the starfish. This force is suti-
| Gent to overcome any resistance which
the oyster may offer 1t is tired out by
the perslstency of its enemy, its she'll is
forced open the stomach of the fish is
inserted and with in short time only
| the valves remain.
The oyster growers of Long Island
sound, who have had more experience in
fighting starfiSh than those of any other
section, find that eternal vigilance is
the price they must pay for even the
comparative safety of their beds. Tugs
are kept constantly at work dredging
with tangles and thousands of bushels
| of starfish are caught annually. 1t re-
quires, however, the expenditure of a
| great deal of money
The use OF tangles is recommended by
| the fish commission. Reports indicate
| that their use has been the direct means
| of saving thousands of dollars worth of
| oysters.
Some oystermen pick the starfish out
| by hand. This is a slow and labOriOus
! process, while as many as 900 star
| fish have been taken in a single day
with the tangles.
A neglected bed is a menace to others.
| AS soon as the fish have completed gut
| ting one bed they move to another.
In the Chesapeake region the drill
| is the worst enemy of the oyster. These
| pests are also moving into the waters
| of Long Island, which is accounted for
| from the fact that seed oysters are sent
| from the drill-infested waters to this
| region.
The drill is a small, snail-like mol
| lusk, which, by means of it's rasping
| tongue, drills tiny hole in the shell of
! an oyster, through which it extracts the
i soft parts. The loss sustained from this
| source is very large.
There are other enemies of the oyster
| but none so destructive as the starfish
| and the drill.

FOUR ECLIPSES
DURING 1905

There are TO be four eclpSes during
the year 1905. Two Of these are to be
eclipSes of the sun and two of the
moon, but only one of them will be
visible in this portion of the country.
This will be partial eclipse Of the
moon, which will occur on the night
Of August HIS and which will be
visible in all parts of North and South
America. There will be a total
eclipse Of the sun August >, which
will be visible IN the eastern part of
North America, the north Atlantic
ocean aud in Europe. The other
eclipse of the year is an eclipse of the
moon February 1920 which will be
invisible in America, but which will
be noticeable in Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australia. An annular eclipse of
the sun will occur March 6, visible
only in Australia, Polynesia and
South Indian ocean.

there were 10000 deer shot during the
hunting season in the upper peninsula
this season there were but 5000
captured by the hunters. 1t is quite
likely that the lack of snow had some
thing TO do with this result but this
alone does not account for this great
difference in the two years. The
killing of 10, 900 deer last year thinned
them ouu to d considerable extent.
One would naturally expect the
extinction of that many animals
would effect the supply and we are
not surprlzed that the number of deer
Killed this year has fallen off.

Diet of Civilization.

The chief of the Paris laboratory
who has been lecturing Parisians upon
their digestions, puts it this way:
When a man takes milk for breakfast
preserved with formic aldehyde, when
he eats at luncheon a slice of ham kept
good by borax, with spinach or French
beans made green with sulphite of cop
per, and when he washes all that down
with half bottle of wine cleared with
an excess of plaster of paris, and that
for 20 years, how is it to be expected that
such a man can have a stomach?"
