How Oysters Are Fattened.

At Lynnhaven, Va, the United
States bureau Of fisheries has been
working for several years on plan to
establish an artificial fattening bed
for oysters. The oyster lives chiefly
on diatoms and other microscopic ma.
rine plants. These plants require for
their growth large supply of morgan
ic salts In the water The necessary
plant food is supplied by putting COM
mercial fertilizers into the water. The
fattening bed must be In shallow wa
ter, so as to have relatively high
temperature. A wall is maintained
around the fattening ground, expla ms
Country Life in America, so as to re-
tain the fertilizer and diatoms. Even
after the diatoms have multiplied enor-
mously the oysters receive no benefit
from them unless current is main
tanned in the water to carry the food
to the oysters. Salt water is pumped
in to prevent the fattening beds from
becoming too fresh, and little lime
is added to the water to prevent the
growth of algae and other plants
which would give disagreeabe flavor
to the oysters. Too much lime, on
the other hand, will destroy the food
plants of the oyster. The process
seems somewhat complicated, but it
has been demonstrated to be feasible
and to yield fine results in the NJ n
Der and quality of oysters.

I'm Algeria, says the Spatula, the
cultivation Of vegetable sponges' is
now making progress. The cultivation
of this plant (of which about ten spe-
cies are known and cultivated in the
warm regions of Asia and Africa is
fairly extensive in the environs of Al
Sgiers and Oran. Prior to maturity the
fruit is edible; when the stage of ripe
ness has been passed, however, the
pulp becomes separated from the
Ifbrous matter, which then forms the
'spongy mass termed the vegetable
sponge Fine specimens, when care
fully bleached In weak lime bath, are
sold at from 3h to Az pence (seven
to nine cents) apiece. Paris is at pres
ent the chief market for most of the
vegetable sponges grown in Algeria.
They are highly suitable not only for
toilet and bathroom, but also for do
nestle purposes.

The board Of regents of the Uni

plans for the establishment Of an
academy of Pacific coast history, with
the great Bancroft library as foun-
dalton upon which to build up great
collection Of works dealing with the
ethnology, geography and history of
the whole Pacific coast, Hawaii,
Alaska and Spanish America. 1t is
proposed to house this vast library
in the new building which will be
constructed with the Charles ]. Doe
bequest of $4,000 1t is estimated
the expense of maintaining the insti-
tuition will be $4,000 a year. Aid
will be sought from the bureau of his
torical research, recently established
in Washington by the Carnegie In
stitute, and en- active campaign will
be inaugurated to secure sufficient
funds for the proper maintenance and
increase of the collection.

Unfair Methods.

Farmers are often called conserva-
tive but it needs stronger word to
describe the patrons of cheese fac
tory who vote to discontinue paying
for milk on the basis of the butter-fat
test. / have in mind certain factory
where milk had been paid for accord
ing to test for two or three seasons,
conclusiVely proving to some of the
patrons that their herds were a losing
proposition, and to others that they
were securing good profit. Did the
owners of the worthless cows dispose
of them? Not at all They voted to
return to the old order of things and
sell their milk by weight. In plain
words, because they were in the ma
jority they forced their more enlight-
ened neighbors to give them aims, to
share their profits to make up the de-
ficiencies of the worthless cows. I'm
fortunately for the interests of good
stock there are still too many fac
tories that buy milk at so much hun
dredweight. Needless to say they are
not located in the best dairy sections.

PRESIDENT SCORES ST0RER.
Makes Statement Regarding Dis
missnl of Former Ambassador
at Vienna.


Washington, Dec. 10,-A letter ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt and
members of his cabinet by Bellamy
Storer was made public Saturday In
which he seeks to show that his re-
moval from the post of ambassador
to Austria was without sufficient
reason.
Mr.. Storer was dismissed because
of his wife's supposed interference IN
affairs of the Roman Catholic church
and her alleged misuse of letters
from the president. 1t was also
charged that Mrs. Storer had meddled
with French politics by taking part
in anti-republican intrigues to pro-
mote the marriage of Victor Bona
parte with a member of the Orleans
family. Both of these charges Mr..
Storer denies and, on the other hand
declares that the presidents Interest
in the selection of Archbishop Ire
land as cardinal was not due 10
Storer or to Storer's wife but to the
president alone.
