seen scores of cases OF paralysis

The greenish color frequently seen
In oysters, and which has been attrib-
uted by some to the presence of cop
per or parasites, is in reality due to
the fact that the oysters have fed on
green plants Of simple structure
found in brackish or salt water. Ac-
cording to experts, the green color
is harmless.

At the same time there is C. slight
loss of nutrients. When in their nat
ural condition, oysters contain from
one-eighth to one-fifth more nutritive
material than when fattened. In the
opinion of very many consumers the
Improvement in appearance and flaw
or due to the removal of the salts
more than compensates for the loss
In nutritive value. 1t seems also to
be matter of common opinion that
oysters keep better when part of the
salts has been removed by floating.
However, the experiments of the New
Jersey stations have shown that
freshened oysters will not remain
alive as long as those taken directly
from salt water. Freshening in
creases. very rapidly the rate OF weak
ening and decay. The life period is
! reduced one-half.

HOW OYSTERS
AREFATTENED
Peculiar Process That Goes On
When Placed in Fresh Or
BrackishWater- They
Lose Some Of Nu-
tritive Quail
ties


Fsst+<S~<<<<<<<s<<
II is common practice Of oyster
dealers, instead OF selling the oysters
in tho condition in which they are
taken from the beds in salt water.
to place them for time, say forty
eight hours. in fresh or brackish wat
er. In order to fatten them, the oper-
alton being also called floating or
laying out BY this process the
oyster acquires plumpness, and its
bulk and weight are so increased as
materially to increase It's selling
value. The belief is common among
oystermen that this fattening is due
to actual gain of flesh and fat, and
that the nutritive value of the oyster
Is increased by the process They
fnd that the oysters fatten much
more quickly in fresh than in brack-
ish water. Warmth is so favorable
to the process that 1t is said to be
sometimes found profitable to warm
artificially the water in which the
oysters are fioated.

It is known that when solution
of salts is separated by a suitable
membrane from water containing a
lesser quantity of salts in solution,
the passage of salts Immediately be-
gins from the concentrated to the di-
lutte solution. This is practically the
condition that exists when the oyster
Is transferred from salt to brackish
water. The feshy portions of the
body which are inclosed in a mem-
brane contain salts in solution. AS
long as the oyster stays in salt wat
er, the solution of salts within its
body would naturally be in equilib-
rum with the water outside. When
the oyster is brought into fresh or
bracklsh water it. might be expected
that the salts In the more concentrate
ed solution within the body would
pass out and larger amount Of
fresh water enter and produce such
distension as actually takes place
during floating. Careful experiments
have shown that this supposition is
entirely correct, and that the oysters
actually gain in weight. This is due
! largely to the fact that they lose min
! eral matter and gain a considerable
amount of water.
The Fulton County news. [volume] (McConnellsburg, Pa.) 1899-current, 1908-12-03

Although oysters are generally
floated in the shell, the same effect
is commonly obtained by adding fresh
water to the oysters after they have
been taken out of the shell. oysters
lose much of their salty flavor in
floating, and 1t is common expert
ence of oystermen that IL the fat
tened oysters are left too long in the
floats they become lean again. 1t
does not seem probable that the oys-
ters would secure food enough to
appreciable gain in weight in the
short time in which they remain in
the fresh or brackish water.

RENT STRIKE IS DYING DOWN.
Socialists Vanish, Meeting Places Locked
Up, Many Settlements Made.

Though the rumblines Of the rent strike were
still to be heard the East Side yesterday, the
movement, like its predecessors, is gradually dy-
ing down. There many settlements yester-
day on the part Of tenants who when they found
their landlords standing firm decided to pay the
old scale. A few landlords, fearing to suffer the
loss of rent at this time, yielded, choosing what
seemed the lesser Of two evils good many
evictions took place also. There was no disorder
When the morning crowd began to gather at No.

Caplan had oversight The leader of the strike
had not appeared at noon, so some OF the social
lists waiting around the door broke into the social

places also locked up and it was hard to
find any of those who have been urging the tenants
in the fight against the landlords.

Governor Hughes Asked to Seek Extension Of
Jurisdiction and Save Pavements.

Henry S. Thompson, Commissioner of Public
Works wrote to Governor Hughes yesterday
asking for an amendment to the Public Service
Commission law which will extend the jurisdfc-
ton Of the commission to the New York Steam
Heating Company. Mr.. Thompson said that
an investigation of the pavements showed that
their quick disintegration was due in hundreds
of cases in the lower part of the city to the
steam heating company's pipes wearing out and
the steam rotting the pavements
He said that the city had sustained heavy
damages on this account. He wrote to Presi-

revocation of the franchise of the company, and
