SPEAKS UP FOR The OYSTER
UNCLE SAM CHAMPION or THE
ABUSED, SILENT BIVALVE.

As Much NutrIment In Oysters as In MIN.
Say the ENpertS-Green Oysters Not
Necessarily Copper Mmes-The TN
GatteDed Oysters IndOrsed rs Best.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.-The oyster has had
to AXE a lot Of abuse of late. People have
declared that il was u-npardOnably shy on
nutritiye value. hat Il WIS just al unpar-
donably long on germs and that when
greenish in its cast Of countenance il had
more copper on board than will ever I've dug
out Of some Of the mines whose stock has
been fiOated in the last few years.
Under all this Ontumely the o, STR has
persevered in ito traditional policy of shut
ing up. Consequently those who love it
will welcome the news that n champion OF
the oyster has appeared in no less a person
than Uncle sam himself.
Through the Agricultural Department the
Government has gone into the oyster ques-
ton with thoroughness. The result is II
rehabihtated bivalve.
A quart Of oysters contains about the
same quantity Of nutritive subsistence 20 a
quart Of milk. three-fourthS OF a pound Of
beef. two pounds Of fresh Goldfish or a pound
Of bread. That puts Mr.. Blue Point. Miss
Cotuit and their relatives into pretty com
pany. In fact. at a time when the doctors
are Utmost unanimous in preaching the milk
gospel the following statement il 7 genuine
patent of nobility:
"Oysters come nearer 60 milk than almost
any other common food material as regards
both the amounts and the relative proper
ions Of nutrients"
This is praise indeed. though il is some
what dimped when one pauscs 10 compare
the price Of a quart - oysters and that If a
quart Of milk. II the latter continues to
climb the two may be on a par some time;
put at present. if one is merely lco';ing for
nutrients. it must he admitieI that they
come high when done up in oysters.
~ II a common practice among dealers
to place the oysters for rCrhaTs forty
eight hours in fresh or braCkish water
in order to fatten them. The OF Grafton
is also Callei hoati1E or laying out.
The dealers believe that the oysters
really gain in flesh and fat. aa they do
actually gain IN weight and bulk; hut
il has been proved that the gain Il due

that. Oysters that have been noated
are commonly thought to keep better.
hut official eNperimenters assert the con-
trary. They say that the life Ofa freshsned
oyster Ia cut down One-halG.
Az TO the greening Of oysters IT, IL quite
commonly due, in American oysters at
least. TO the fact that they a fed on
green water plants and tha coloring matter
OF the plant has been taken up by the
oyster Juices. This color Is said TO be harm
less. IL may be removed by placing the
live oysters for a time in water where the
green plants are not abundant.
In Europe similar green oysters, called
g~roenbarden. or Marennes, are especially
priced. n to meet the demand oysters
are greened by placing them Is SION as cap

months and fed Of n species Of ssawee1 which
impaTts the cOloring matter to the gills.
From carefully Conducted Investigations
IL appears that in some cases green oysters
owe their color to h presence OF copper.
Such oysters are not generally considered
desirable as food.
Green oysters containing copper differ
in appearance from those owing their green
tint TO vegetable coloring matter. being
grass green and not dark green in color and
having n verdigris like Shiny secretion ON
the folds OF the mantle. 1t is said that afte-
the addition OF vinegar a steel fork stuck
into such oysters becomes coated with
copper, and that il ammonia 10 added the
oysters become dark blue.
The flavor of oysters is affected more or
less by the locality in which they have
grown. those from certain regions being
regarded ms Of very superior quality. The
season Of the year Affects the market value
of oysters. although it is noticeable that as
methods of transportation and p~ressrva-
tion improve, the oysser season becomes
longer. This may also be sIid of HOLSTERS.

Oysters rapidly deteriorate when removed

deteriorate more rapidly than at any other
season ut the same temperature. However,
oysters which are ready 60 spawn are con-

Stage Reform.

Every now and then the important
intelligence is impaired to a waiting
multitude that the stage is to be ele-
waited 1t is an old cry and it signifies
nothing, for the patrons of the play
house make it what it is and mana
gers only supply a public demand
References are always being made to
the palmy days Of the drama, and a
revival of them is frequently predict
ed, but the truth is that there were
just as reprehensible performances in
the past as there are in the present,
though, of course there were some
noble histrionic efforts that are re-
peated to-day. 1t is claimed that this
is an era of commercial managers,
who are only bent on making money
and are deficient in artistic inspira-
tion, but even Shakespeare did not
disdain accommodating a comfortable
fortune for his day from the produc-
tion of his plays, and few men are
anxious to embark in an unpaying
venture even for the sake of art. We
are now told that there is to be an
intellectual theater in upper Broad
way, New York, where only the cream
of the best old and new plays will be
brought out We wish it success, re-
marks the Boston Budget, but we are
afraid that its patronage will not be
remunerative, for the theater is re-
garded by the majority of people as
a place of entertainment, and not as
training.

A GERMAN BALLOON
WON THE BIG RACE
ONE OF THE FRENCH skYBoATS
WAS A GOOD SECOND.
THE DlRlGIBLE AIRSHIP RACE
At st. Louis Resulted in a Victory for
the Craft Operated by Lincoln
Beachy, of ToIedo-Shobel's
Airship was Second.

st. Louis, Mo. - With every bal
loon racing record broken, the second
international cup competition, which
started from ST. Louis ON Monday,
ended Wednesday with the German
balloon Pommern winning first prize
for the longest flight The finish of
the race was so close, however, that
the French contestant, LIsle de
France, which descended at 1:10 D. m.
Wednesday at Hubertsville, n. j.,
few miles from the Atlantic coast, may
possibly be declared winner after Off
cial measurements are completed. The
Pommern landed at a. m. Wednes-
d.: at Asbury Park, n. j., apparently
a few miles further from st. Louis
than Hubertsville.
Another German balloon, the Dus-
selderf, stands third in the race.
American entries finished fourth, fifth
and eighth, while third German team
finished sixth, another French team
seventh. the one English balloon
entered fell far short of the others
The unofficial estimated air line
flight of the Pommern is $50 miles and
that of the L'Isle de France Is 875
miles. The Dusseldorf, third, which
landed near Dover, Del, Is estimated
to have covered 100 miles. The Off
cial measurements will be computed
by the geological survey of the United
States government.
Only the proximity of the Atlantic
Ocean stopped the fight of the Pom
mern. The balloon could have re-
mained in the air many hours longer,
and probably would have added sew
eral hundred miles to her record but
for the expanse of water ahead.
Following is the record of the other
seven balloons in the race:
United States, American, landed at
Hamilton, Ont, 6:15 p. m. Tuesday.
America Capt. Chandler's balloon)

Sailing to windward and return over
a course measuring one mile and a
half from start to finish, Lincoln
Beachy, of Toledo, on Wednesday won
the dirigible airship race which mark
ed the close Of the st. Louis aero
nautic carnival. The prize was $4,000.
In his "Beachy airship," cigar-shaped
affair propelled by a four-cylinder
gasoline motor the winner covered
the distance in minutes and 40 sec.
onds.
Jack Dallas in the "Strobel airship,"
a sister craft to the Beachy, won sec.

China After Ideas,

Slowly but surely modern ideas are
getting foothold in China. The ap-
pointment of commission to visit
Japan, Great Britain and Germany
with view to examining and report
ing upon the working of constitutions
al systems in those countries is full
of significance, which is increased be-
cause of the character of those chosen
for the service. These are men of the
most progressive spirit. Further
more, they represent the aspirations
of the real Chinese rather than the
purposes of the Manchus, who to a
large extent are an alien element, al
though they have managed to fasten
their power upon the government and
to perpetuate dynasty which has
been constant source Of political
friction. The voice of awakened
China is making itself heard and is
likely to be more insistent in demand
ing changes and reforms that shall be
for the benefit of all the people And
much of this impetus to better things
comes from Chinese who have been
educated in the United States or have
lived here long enough to see how lib
eral government works.

Why?

The Cincinnati Enquirer does not
believe in putting off until tomorrow
what should be done to-day. While
not insisting that tariff disturbance is
the burning need of the hour, it log.
ically urges that if revision is needed
two years hence it is needed now:
"The principle of the tariff is the
same now that it will be Is months or
two years hence. If it is wrong now
the simple and perhaps the straight
forward thing to do would be to com,
mence the overhauling of the sched.
ules at the first opportunity, which
will be on the first Monday of Decem-
Der next"
Equally logical is the plea that if
tariff revision is not needed now it
may not be needed two years from
now, and hence there is no occasion
for setting a date. Why promise for
1909 thing which the country breads
and does not want in 1907?
