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. Tive 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 a relatively high
temperature. A wall Is maintained
around the fattening ground, explains
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 a 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 a little lime
is added 10 the wa.ar to prevent the
growth of algae and other plants
which would give disagreeable 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 mum
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,
giers and Oran. Prior to maturity the
fruit is edible; when the stage of ripe,
mess has been passed. however, the
pulp becomes separated from the
fbrous matter, which then forms the
sRengy mass termed the vegetable
sponge Fine specimens, when care.
fully bleached in a weak lime bath, are
sold at from 31a to Az pence (seven
20 nine cents) apiece. Paris Is at pres.
elt 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!
mestic purposes"

A School Of Zoology.
AupuBoN,
IOWA


DR.. Gustav Loisel, who is professor
Of zoology in the Sorbonne, is making
persistent efforts to have the mena-
Eerie in the Jardin des Plantes adapt
ed to the needs of experimental sci.
snce He would have it so transformed
as to become a school of geological re-
search without at the same time ceas-
ing to be a place of entertainment for
the people. Such a plan has been
partly carried out in Bronx park, so
says the New York Post, so that GER
tain fauna are permitted to live and
breed almost as II they were In the
wild" The experimental stations in
this country where marine animals
and plants may be studied have proved
of the highest value to science; and
the laboratory in connection with the
Naples aquarium has long been ia
vorite resort for naturalists. Two OF
Or. Loisel's suggestions are not likely
to meet with popular approval. One Is
to do away altogether with the monkey
house, which he says is infected with
tuberculosis, and the other is to dimin-
ish the number Of the more formidable
wild animals to make room for beasts
whose habits may be more convent
entity studied But in general there is
no good reason ~AT the geological col
lections of the world should not be
adapted to the needs Of students Of ma
tural history who should have advan'
tages analogous to those already en-
Joyed by workers in botany and in the
fine arts
