OYSTER GERM
MAY Be KILLED
PURE WATER ALONE is At
ONCE FATAL TO
THEM
ASSURANCE FROM
PROFESSOR IN LIVERPOOL
UNIVERSITY.

Tbara is no reason at all why any
one should ever suffer from oyster
noisoning. for according to Professor
w. A. Herdman, professor OF naturai
history at the University OF Liver
pool even oysters contaminated Win
typhoid germs can be washed free OIL
all disease by being placed for Ger
tain period in pure water nyeselsd-
tons at Liverpool university nave
clearly enough proved what ne salo-
in a lecture on The Culture OF the
Sea. at the Poyal institution.
He also said with regard to oyster
contamination that there was no
doubt that at most of the oyster cul-
ture establishments around the BTU
ish coast the oyster was now quite
free from suspicion.
But he told a lot more interesting
things besides that about the oyster.
TO show the possibilities of oyster
culture he pointed out that single
oyster was capable of producing SIX
teen million, that in the next genera
they in their turn would produce two
hundred and fifty-six millions of mil
lions; in the third generation there
would be four thousand and ninety
six million million million; in the
fourth generation sixty-three thous-
and five hundred and thirty-six mil
lion million million million. Then
when he came to the fifth generation
the audience could contain them
selves no longer and roared with
laughter as the professor said
I'm the fifth generation that one
oyster of the first generation would
have become one million forty-eight
thousand five hundred and seventy-siX
million million million million million,
or one hundred and thirty-one times
the bulk of the earth
OF course nothing like that could
happen. But here was a mans OPP
portunity Instead of allowing the
majority of oysters to die off in the
early stages, man could step in ana
rear large numbers of them In GER
tain places in France they are able to
rear about ninety-seven per cent OF
those captured. But enormous guam
titles OF baby oysters are carried out
to sea and lost.
The method on the west coast OF
France is to place crates in a large
strip of sea almost enclosed, ana
which the low tide left dry An ar
rangement of tiles catches the young
oysters and prevents the sea from
carrying them away Afterward they
are placed in beds, just like in
large market garden, each oyster cul-
tivator having a plot, and in course
of time those which have grown suf
ficiently are collected and sent to
Marennes ito complete their educa-
ton" before finding their way to mar
ket as the celebrated green oyster,
noted for its flavor and lusciousness.

share of stock; that the syndicate
had never received anything from the
