In August, 1904. Washington Christie
pher. OF Anne Arundel County, got two
schooner loads Of brick from the debris of
the great FIRE and dumped them near the
mouth Of Fork Creek. in the MagOthy
River. There were about $50 tons in each
load. One was dumped on the north side
OF the creek and one on the south side.
Recently DR.. Grave had tonged up some
Of the brick on the south side and found
them well covered with young oysters.
Mr. Christopher himself reports that he
found a good set Of young oysters on the
artificial bed thus created a few months
after the load had been dumped there.
On Wednesday. in the presence Of a
representative of the Baltimore News. the
bed on the north side was examined by
DR.. Grave a score or more of bricks
were taken up with oyster tongs and in
spected. A number OF young oysters were
found. a few specimens being nearly three
inches long. But the set was not abun-
dant, and DR.. Grave said that the show
ing was poor in comparison with that
made by the other bed. DR.. Grave also
said that better results would be obtained
by breaking up the brick into sizes about
as large as stone used for macadamizine
roads. In this case the brick was dumped
Just as it had been left by the fire. and
was composed mostly OF half bricks. stiIl

Fire Debris a. Oyster CuItch.
The incident is interesting as showing
how readily the oyster spat seizes upon
any hard substance that may be used
as q cultch in making artificial beds. Mr..
Christopher was laughed at when be
dumped the brick, but it now looks as II
at one place. at any rate. he will have a
valuable oyster bed. There is still plen-
ty of broken brick left on some of the
wharves among FIRE debris. and probably
oyster cuitch may stn be had at cheap
rates.

BRICKBATS FOR BEDS

who is a practical oysterman, well ac-
quainted with all the natural beds in
Anne Arundel waters.
Northern Limits of National Beds.
There is a marked difference between
the eastern and western shores of the bay
as regards the northern range Of natural
beds. On the eastern shore natural beds
are found up to Worton Point, ten miles
farther north than Rock Point. on the
west side, and formerly there were natur-
al beds in the SassafTas River. seven
and One-half miles north of Worton Point.
The fresh water poured into the bay By
rivers checks the formation OF natural
beds where the effect is strongly felt, and
it appears that this effect is sooner ex-
perienced on the western side of the bay
than on the eastern. It is possible that
seed oysters can be raised north of the
limits in which natural beds can form.
thus developing sources of supply for
oyster farms in suitable localities The
board Of shell fish commissioners viii in
vestigate this feature Of the case later
On.
DR.. Grave thinks that the Magothy Riv-
er viii afford fine sites for oyster FARMS,
as the water Is of good density for the
purpose. In general the capabilities of
Anne Arundel County are much larger
than had been supposed. In the rivers
the principal areas suitable for oyster
planting are in the tributary creeks. Nat
ural beds are numerous In the rivers, and
grassy bottoms such as the law reserves
for Grabbing, are found On the inside of
the beds toward the shore, but there are
still large areas Of barren bottoms both
in the rivers and in the bay that can be
utilized In the upper part of the bay

channel. is an area Of about 1000 acres.
now barren bottom. that seems 30 be
available for planting purposes.
Natural Oyster Nurseries.
An interesting fact discovered by the
commission is that outside Of the known
limits Of some longing grounds are large
natural beds that are practically un-
touched and in which oysters are dense
ly packed. The reason why they have
escaped oystering operations is that they
extend into deep water-about thirty-fve
feet. This puts them beyond the reach Of
ordinary tongs. and they are In localities
from which dTedgers are debaTTed. The
circumstance explains how natural beds
that have been long worked have been
protected from absolute exhaustion and
also why they recuperate so rapidly when
they are given a rest. These undisturbed
ceep-water beds are evidently sources OF
oyster spat supply from which the set OF
young oysters are obtained that replen-
lsh beds depleted by oystering operations
Hence it is regarded as sound policy by
the commission to include such beds IL
tne area reserved by the State as natur-
al peds, although they have not been oys-
Ierlng grounds. They are. i'm fact. natural
nurseries, that viii send out supplies OF
Spat 10 produce young oysters both on
the natural beds and on artificial beds

No Surprise. In Dreams.

No one Is ever surprised in dream.
A man dreaming is at one moment
bathing in the sea and Mt the next mo-
ment soaring in n balloon, but the sud-
den and inexplicable change does not
surprise him, nor is he surprised to
meet in the flesh friends long dead, nor
is he surprised to find himself doing
deeds that really are beyond him. The
reason Is that dreamers have no men,
ory. In real life to be pursued through
the streets by lion would be astonish-
ing. but this accident would be accept
ed in dream as horrible, but quite
commonplace, the memory not being
there to say that 1t 1t is unheard of for
lions to pursue one In cities. In the
same way, in dreams, men are not sur
prised to find themselves ballooning be-
cause they don't remember that they
were never up In balloon before, and
they are not surprised to find them
selves conversing with dead people be-
cause they don't remember that these
people are dead.-New York Press.

A bret H.rss Joke,

Sam Davis Of Nevada once made a
wager that he could successfully imi-
tate the style Of any living or dead
poet and do 1t SO thoroughly that the
difference was not discernible and that
the public. the press and the critics
would not detect the fraud. AS Il re-
suit he wrote "Binley and 49," to which
he signed f. Bret Hartes name. The
fake was put out in publication
known as the Open Letter 1t describ-
ed an engineer who took his train
through snowstorm in the Sierras, dy-
Ing at his post. From the Atlantic to
the Pacific the poem was copied.
"Binley and 40" was given n full page
In Leslie's Weekly. with portrait of
Bret Harte, and described as 'the best
short poem of the decade" 1t was
many years before Mr.. Harte denied
Its authorship. The poem has since
been incorporated in several books of

A Big Business.

Probably the busiest people In
town the last week have been the
post office employees. The rush has
been greater this year than ever be-
fore but they managed to pull
through without any extra help.
The receipts through the holiday
season this year exceeded last years
receipts by seveal hundred dollars
and the amount of mail received was
proportionately larger. The clerks
worked early and late with the result
that all got their packages on time.
A new carrier will be added to the
force the first Of the year, making
four city carriers. This has been
needed for some time as the town
has been spreading out the last few
years and has made the routes too
large for three carriers to cover. Ole
Nelson will be the new carrier.

DAVID coPPgRFlELo.
Miss Mowcher In the Flesh Called
the Novelist to Account.

tn0 NOVe11et 10 AccOuAN
When Dickens was young man
with literary ambitions he contemplate
ed writing his own life. "David Cop
perfeld," however, was not written
established.
Many of the adventures ascribed to
David Copperheld We're undergone by
Dickens himself, and not u few OF the
characters presented in the novel were
the authors personal friends.
The original of the famous Mr.. MI
cawber was MIR. Dickens, Sr., the nov
elists own father, an unfortunate Dut
agreeable gentleman, who afforded his
son much Innocent amusement by rea-
son of his gfandiloquent language and
inordinate love of letter writing.
When Dickens was boy his father,
like Wilkins Micawber, was imprison-
ed for debt, and Charles, like David,
went daily to and fro between his
lodgings and the Jail.
His experiences at Hungerford mar
ket, his horror of his rough and rude
companions and his daily wanderings
about the streets of London are all
faithfully recorded in those chapters OF
David Copperfeld" dealing with the
heros stay at the house of, ,Murdstone
and Grinby.
Davids subsequent adoption by his
aunt, Miss Betsy Trotwood, who, by
the way, is an imaginary parsonage,
and his apprenticeship ut Doctors COM
mons owe something to real life. Dick
ems was for many years connected
with Doctors commons, but not, like
David, as student, but as shorthand
writer in the court. The incidents Of
David's life in chambers, however,
are copied very faithfully from those
of Dickens.
Readers Of the novel will not forget
Miss Mowcher, although she makes but
two brief appearances. She would
certainly have been more prominent
had not Dickens, upon reading the
twenty-second chapter, in which she
first appears. received letter from
the original of the character calling
him to account for the liberty he had
taken. Dickens was sincerely sorry to
have given offense and expressed his
regret tiial W Sopy it1S too SioSSAy enS
peculiarities of his grotesque little
friend he should have caused her to be
recognized. He had intended to use
Miss Mowcher in an unpleasant man
ner, but he promised to change her
character In such way that only an
agreeable impression should be left
This he did in chapter 80 Of the novel,
which undoes much of chapter %.
All Dickens books were great reali-
ties to him, David Copperfield" espe-
cially so. lie loved the Peggotty group
Of characters best of all and was very

Jackson,

Mrs. Winnie Jackson, one of the
Oldest pioneer women of the Platte
valley, died last week, Wednesday,
morning at her home in Fort Lup-
ton, after an Illness of 10 days,
caused by paralytic stroke. She
had been gradually failing until the
end came at that time.
Mrs. Jackson was born in George
town, ILL.,, Nov. %, 1924. When IL
years old she moved with her parents
to Mount Pleasant, Ia. In 1851 she
was married to Richard F. Jackson.
In the early part of 1859 she came
west by OK team and settled first In
Central City and then in Black
Hawk, where her husband was en-
gagged in mining. After this she re-
turned with her husband to Iowa and
came west again in 1861, her husband
taking up ranch 10 miles southwest
of Fort Lupton, and she resided there
with her family until the death OF
her husband in 1893. Since then she
lived in Fort Lupton. In the early
sixties, while residing on the ranch,
she was many times compelled to
leave it and take refuge in the old
fort with her children on account of
Indian outbreaks.
Il She was faithful member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, having
joined it when IL years old and had
been constant attendant at its ser
vices ever since. The first Sunday
school in Fort Lupton was organized
in her house, and for long time the
church services were held in her
home. She leaves two daughters.
