MUSSEL CULTURE
RECEIVING STUDY
Fisheries Bureau Declares BIZ
valve Particularly NOurish-
ing for Weak Digestion

The possibilities Of the mussel as an
article Of food are receiving attention
and there is official testimony TO the
effect that the mussels. which are eX-
tremely abundant in the bays and es-
tuaries Of the Atlantic coast from
North Carolina northward and along
the Pacific coast from san Francisco to
Ala ska. are particularly nourishing and
good for a weak digestion. The Sat
urday Evening Post has an article
showing that the fisheries bureau
tested the question by practical e%-
perfments MuSsels in various styles
we're served on the tables of the mess
of the marine biological station at
Woods Hou. Mass, and received
unanimous approval. Scores OF other
rersons. after the way had been paved
bv the biological station. were per
suaded TO try them roasted, steamed
and fried. and they report that the
flavor is superior TO clans and quite
equal 10 oysters. The American In
dfans. long before the arrival Of Co
luuabus. while eating great quantities
OF oysters and clans, never touched
rnussels because of supersitlouS
notion that they were harmful. This
idea they communicated to the whites,
TO whom it has chung ever since. II
Is for this reason that Few people
believe that the mussel is of any value
The fisheries bureau. as result Of its
experiments, now asserts that mussel
farms. properly managed, ought 10
WELD 10 times the money profit usually
obtainsble from good agricultural lana,
sn6 indeed this has already been DEM
onstrated in British waters, where the
average annual production is los tons
Of the moIlusks an acre, salable in the
market for $685.
In Europe the mussel is highly re-
4e-de5 as an article Of food, while
clans are practically neglected There
the 177ussel is farmed on an extensive
scale. The general method is TO col
1ect the young shellfish when they are
very small and transfer them TO beds
{n favorable localities. usually IN estu-
aries where the water IS brackish, and
other conditions tend to hasten the
growth and accelerate the fattening.
In such places yields OF 100 tons and
more to the acre are common, says the
Indianapolis News.
The French give the mussel much at
tention. For instance. in one fishing
,-5us9e. in the bay of Alguillon. last
year the shipments represented value
IN excess of sl12.0Oe. There wooden
structures are prepared for culture
purposes. Within a year the mussels
are sufficiently grown to be ready for
the market. The plan Of culture fol-
lowed is not Of recent origin, because
1T dates back to 1925 a. D.. and was in
troduced TO the French by an Irish
man who was shipwrecked on their
coast and who returned the kindness
OF the fishermen by teaching them how
to make the mussel profitable.

FREAKS FOUND IN
memory OF AGED
Centenarians Recall VividIy the
Events of Youth; Middle
Life a Blank

The memories of centenarians are
not always trustworthy, for in extreme
old age there may arise confusion be-
tween their experiences and those of
others. Observers of senility. however.
have noted this interesting fact, that
there are long gaps in memories. An
extremely old person, for instance, will
childhood or in youth, while middle
life is blank, says the Boston Tran
script. The late James B. McGregor,
who died in Newport, n. H., a few
days ago at the extraordinary but
well attested age of 10S years, 6 months
and II days. was gifted with a strength
of mind and body that invested his
recollection with peculiar force. At
the &c of 100 he was still capable of
going into the hay field, and his in
terest in the current events often
caused him to travel back nearly a
century to. their sources. In these
mental tours into the past Mr. Nc
Gregor occasionally made statements
that challenged acceptance but was
able to prove his assertions. For ex-
ample, he mentioned that at one time
more than four score years ago. when
he was a schoolmaster in northern
New Hampshire. he boarded with
woman who had been some time pre-
viously arrested as a witch. Nothing
came Of the prosecution, which was
a case of persecution. He gave names,
dates and places, and TO the incredulous
he remarked that in northern New
Hampshire. when he was in his TWEEN
ties. the belief in witchcraft was still
strong enough to he exceedingly an
noying or trying to old women who,
for any reason, had incurred the dis
like of the community. Possibly had
Mr.. McGregor been disposed to fortify
himself against further challenge he
might have said with perfect truth
that the witchcraft delusion survived
in Europe for more than 40 years after
the time when he knew of a witch
being taken into custody in northern
New Hampshire. Incredulous as it may
seem, an old man was ducked as q
wizard at Castle Rockingham, in Eng
land, in 1853. and died from the con-
sequent shock and exposure. The last
person who is supposed to have per
who was killed by half insane man at
Long Compton, Warwickshire, Eng,
in 1875. her assailant believing that
she had cast a spell upon him. Witch
craft may still linger in some back
woods settlement for removed from the
lines OF transportation and intelli-
gence, even among white people. With
the Aleutian Indians in Alaska it
still has such a hold that revenue cut
ter officers within comparatively few
years past were compelled to act
promptly to prevent a witch being
burned by her tribespeople.

Attack on Hart North

The leaders of the exclusion league
say that North's action resulted in the
reversal of the ruling in these cases
and the landing of the aliens who had
been adjudged undesirable.
That the admission of these aliens
and others within the last two weeks
was in violation of instructions which
were communicated to all the immi-
grafton stations on the Pacific coast
by a personal representative of Com
missioner General Daniel ]. Keefe is
one of the grounds on which the league
will ask for the resolutions of protest.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that the denial of entrance to all
Hindus regardless of physical condi-
ton or financial resources was the
program adopted by the department in
answer to petitions from California for
the enforcement of the exclusion laws
Aliens Admitted Freely
This attitude was adopted by the
local Immigration authorities during
the stay of the commissioner generals
representative here, it is said. but ii
is also asserted that after his depart
ure Hindus gained admittance easily.
regardless of any provision for their
future.
The exclusion league has received
assurances that every member of the
California delegation in congress will
support the plea for legislation neces-
sary to make still more specific the
statute directing the denial of en-
trance to undesirable aliens of diff
ferent types. A bill with this object
is now on the files of the house of
representatives.
President Tveitmoe and a. E. Yoen,
secretary treasurer of the exclusion
league, declared yesterday that Hindus
had been landed unfortunately from
both the Siberia and Manchuria during
the last two weeks and that many of
the aliens wandered about the city
helplessly, the victims of unscrupulous
labor buyers. Many of them, the
league officials said, were without
means and did not have any idea of
how they were going to support them
selves.
