IRVINGTON, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY

of the oyster producing States in Amer
lea; and Norfolk, by it's geographi-
cal position, will be the natural ship
ping point for the oyster business OF
this country.
But there are other sea foods besides
oysters that make Norfolk favorably
known to other parts of our country,
for in late years we are becoming the
center of the fish business in the South.
During the winter months carloads
of fish are arriving here from different
points in Florida and lately quantities
of fish have arrived from the East and
also from the Lakes in the West. In
fact, our New England friends residing
here can get their Goldfish or halibut,
our Southern friends the pompano or
red snapper, and the citizen from our
Western States their lake trout or
sheepshead most any time.
When the industry is at it's height in
the spring and summer, 20 or more
swift fish steamers are bringing hun
dreds of barrels of shad, trout, mack
erel, butterfish, croakers and the well
known and delicious Virginia spots to
our fish dealers, who pack them in ice
and ship them at once to different parts
OF the country.
Very few people know the immense
fish business that is done in this State.
In every river and on both sides of the
Chesapeake Bay are now hundreds of
pound nets representing a capital of
several hundred thousand dollars, and
giving employment to over five thous-
and people. And we must not forget the
hundreds of small boats that fish every
shore in the Chesapeake Bay with hook
and line.
This is not counting the immense
amount of capital used in running
steam boats, gasolene boats and sailing
vessels that are employed in this busi-
ness, freighting fish to Norfolk and
Portsmouth, Virginia, the natural dis
tributing center of this industry.

THE SEEKER.

When shall cease to take delight
In forms of transient grace
Will-o'-the-wisps that all the night
Flicker before my face?
o, some time shall i not be less
A creature of desire,
With gain of Autumn happiness
For loss of April fire?
Nay, l was sent to wander far
On desperate quest and lone,
To follow wind and bird and star
And cloud forever flown:
And all these forms so frail and fleet
Whereafter run tonight
My weary and enamored feet
They are the garment bright.
The flying glance, the floating hair,
The call and cry of One
This flesh shall see not, though l fare
Onward from sun to sun.

nucleus or else tiny leaden image of
some god. When these have been placed
in position the shells are allowed to close
and the animal is carefully placed in a
stream of water and fed regularly with
manure. When the shells are opened
the inserted articles, finely coated with
nacre, are removed. AS a rule the
original nucleus, grain of sand or loaded
image is extracted from the pearl and
the cavity left by it is filed with wax.
Since that time the manufacture of
artificial pearls has become an extensive
industry, in which the japanese have
especially excelled. A large area of
sea bottom in the province of Shima is
devoted wholly to the purpose, and it is
said that million oysters have been
laid down, all of them containing the
irritating nuclei, which the unfortunate
animals are coating to their own destruc-
tion. Four years are allowed for the
process, and the resulting pearls, while
by no means perfect, are sufficiently
attractive in appearance to have
market value.
That they are not equal to the pearls
naturally produced is proof that some
thing still remains to be learned. Evi-
IDENTIFY the oyster himself is yet in tena-
cious possession of exclusive informa-
tion. The artificial pearl is not so beau
tiful, it is not so well shaped, and its
lower surface is usually without any
luster at all. Such pearls are there
fore unsuitable for necklaces, but they
can be readily adapted to those other
forms of jewelry wherein only half the
pearl is in sight, such as rings and
brooches 1t may be that the oyster,
although he is notoriously uncommittal.
can yet be persuaded to give up his
secret. Time and continued experiment
may show the mystery of his workshop.

VISITING In VIRGINIA.
Levi Barnett Writes of His Visit to
His Native State.

To the Editors of The Sun:-After
a lapse of nearly IL years l am back in
old Virginia, my native state. / need
not tell you l have met with a warm
reception. for the hospitality of Vir-
ginians is proverbial. / can boast of a
more than ordinarily cordial reception,
due largely to meeting friends of my
boyhood and schooldays and meeting
after so many years my brothers and
sisters. This renewal of family ties is a
great pleasure to all of us. What
pleasure is there to be compared with
being with kindred and loved ones after
being separated for many years? But.
alasl the years have brought changes
and things do not appear now as they
did 40 years ago. Even my own
brothers and sisters had passed beyond
my recognition. 1t is only now and
then that | find anything that has the
remotest resemblance to what it was in
the years gone by.
l have met my four sisters, one re-
siding in Baltimore, Nd, one residing
at Colonial Beach, Westmoreland county,
one living in Lancaster county and
one in Northumberland county. Va.
also two brothers who reside in Lam
caster county and Northumberland
county respectively, in what. is known
as the Northern Neck of Virginia.
This country is not in every respect
as fertile as ours in Iowa, but people
here have advantages that we have not.
and vice versa. Capital is catered to
and invited here. unhesitatingly saw
there are some excellent chances for a
man with money to make safe and prof
liable investments here. People here
who are not handicapped by lack of
means and have money at command
are forging ahead and making money
as rapidly as anywhere in these United
States.
But few years ago, comparatively
speaking, some enterprising men started
the fish industry known as purse net
ting, catching fish by the millions with
long seines and conveying them by
large steamers made for the business to
the various factories and there convert
ing them into very fine fertilizer, also
a very fine oil that is used for various
purposes. and these people have grown
very wealthy. There are also large
| shucking houses at various points along
the shores of the Rappahannock and
other rivers tributary to the Chesa-
peake bay.

Inc only condition the law required
OF the counties was that each county
should supplement the States contribu-
tion by the appropriation of an equal
sum.
State Highway Commissioner Wilson
urged the boards of supervisors of the
above counties to apply for the State
apportionment, but his advice was not
needed.
1t may be that these ten boards of
supervisors think that the ten counties
have roads that are sufficient for the
purposes of their respective farming
populations. Or it may be that the
supervisors think that their respective
counties are sufficiently rich and re-
scurceful to decline State aid. AS to
these things we do not know of our
personal knowledge; but it is at least
pertinent to say that the other ninety
counties, including every wealthy
county in the State, did take advantage
of the States offer; and also it is our
information that the roads in every one
of the ten counties that did not apply
for the States aid are about as badly
in need of better roads as any ter
counties in the whole State. Richmond

Fuller took I'D the study Of horticul-

relating to plants, flowers and orna-
mental shrubs. His cassia beds were
the marvel and admiration of all who
saw them, and his grounds abound in
rare and beautiful shrubs Of many va
rieties. His intense interest I'm the
subject was remarkable, as previous to
his illness he was indifferent to such
things. No doubt the pleasure he de-
rived from his intercourse with this
phase of nature prolonged his life by
several years.
