The PearI Oyster.

In the interesting paper which Dr.
 H. Lyster Jameson read at session
 of the British association on pearl pro-
 ducing industries, he stated that the
 Japanese pearl oyster industry was the
 only instance known to him of the
 application of Biological knowledge and
 theory to the improvement of the in
 dustry. Dr. Jameson is apparently un
 aware that a few years ago the Unit
 ed States government appointed body
 of experts 70 investigate the subject.
 The results Of their work are contained
 in an elaborate report which has just
 been presented to the bureau of fish cries, and judging by these the suc-
 cess of the experiments which have been carried out is no longer in doubt, either from scientific or a commer- cial point of view. The experts have also carried out extensive experiments to test the possibility of artificially propagating fresh water mussels. This work was undertaken because of the threatened extinction of the commer- cial species, whose shells have been taken in enoromus quantities in re-
 cent years, both for the manufacture of pearl buttons and for the pearls
 which they frequently contain. Years have been spent in studying the breed | ing habits and seasons of the mus
 sels, the biological and physical con

ditions under which they live, and many other essential matters. The results of these experiments are not yet complete, but the experts state
 that they have proceeded far enough
 to make it clear that the ultimate end of the investigation is assured.
 The report contains full particulars of the process of artificial reproduction which has been successfully tried. Oyster culture after all is no nov city, having been practised by the Romans. Dr. Jameson referred to the disastrous failure of the company pro- noted by Sir West Ridgeway in 1908 , to exploit the Ceylon pearl banks. This
 unfortunate result was due partly to
 the absence of any attempt scientifi-
 cally to develop the banks, and the
 grounds which were leased to the con-
 pany by the colonial office are new be-
 ing taken back.

Andrew Lans's Later Years.

The late MT. Lang was in his later years a rather Soured and disappoint-
 ed man, fer what exact reason nobody could very well divine for he had fame. homer and troops of friends, and he never seemed to carry otherwise than easily the great volume of work which he got through. Perhaps he felt he would have been greater if his talents had been concentrated, if he had not dissipated his astonishing energies over such wide and diverse field. How extraordinarily good he'd be if he wrote little less," said Matthew Arnold, though their joint sacrifice of literature to the necessity of making a comfort able livelihood made & kind of sim ilarity between the two. Like Arnold
 too, MT. Lang liked being praised for his work, though he accepted homage less generously than his elder. I re- member saying how splendid and witty was his essay on Thomas Haynes Bay ly. Yes, sir" he said, offhandedly, "if was quite all right, wasn't it?" It was plain he liked praise but he loved to be little supercilious in accepting it
 He was always apt to underestimate his own position and to show dislike of people who ''got on" in the literary world, even though their fame was re- ally much less pervasive than his own.

and make it do that best. Don't try to farm twice as many acres as the other fellow: try to make every acre you do farm produce twice as much as the other fellow's-that's the secret of success in eastern farming.
 1 don't care whether you call it "intensive farming" or simply com mon-se farming It's the right kind of farming for the east where markets are handy, where wide choice of crops is offered, and where labor is costly. The farmer who can produce the biggest crops per acre of market able goods at the lowest labor cost per bushel of crop gathered, that farm eP is on the road to success
 And the road is wider and smooth CT and of better grade, right here in Connecticut, than it is in almost any of the much vaunted new lands" of the west. THE FARMER.

OWNER OF MONTGOMERY FRAN CHISE SAYS HE'S GIVING CITIZENS LAST CHANGE TO RETAIN BASEBALL CLUB

Montgomery, December S0.-Richard Tillis has a new proposal to be presented to Montgomery business men today whereby it is quite probable arrange ments will be perfected to retain the Montgomery Southern league franchise in this city, according to a statement made early this forenoon by President Charles B. Jones of the Montgomery Baseball association.
 "Our proposition now asks for just a little more than the business men offered us Saturday" said President Jones, and the small difference should not be q stltm- bling block in the way. l expect to bring the proposition to the attention of the business men during the day. If this proposition is not accepted, I can say that there will be no chance left for Montgomery to have baseball next year.
 President Jones said that Richard Tillis has 15 days from noon Saturday last in which to accept the offer of Little Rock of S150O0. So far he has turned down the offer. MT. Tillis also declared that Shreveport would like to have the fran ehise.

JOHN MGRAW IS THE MOST
 PATIENT OF MAJOR MANAGERS
By HENRY r. EDWARDS

and, what is more, he became regular 1 outfielder in 1910 after trying the better part of two years to become a catcher. Think of that-keeping Snodgrass for even two seasons before he found out he could use him regularly. When Chief Meyers arrived in New York he could hit. That was all. He was slow on his feet, could not throw and absolutely lacking in baseball wis dom. He was of little real value to McGraw in 1909 and 1910, but McGraw hung to him and has a star receiver as a result.
 Josh Devore and Charley Herzog were two others who were tagged failures, but who finally came through for McGraw. He did let Herzog get away in trade, but. when the opportunity was presented, grabbed him back
 Larry Doyle looked like the worst sec- ond baseman ever when he first joined the Giants He foozled almost as many chances as he accepted.
 Did 1t make McGraw peevish? Not a bit of it. To the contrary, McGraw is quoted as saying: Keep booting them, Larry. Some day you will stop one. Your batting suits me, anyway and l can for give your bad work at second" Two months ago, Larry Doyle, captain of the Giants, was voted the most valu- able player in the National league.
 Few managers would have ever consid- ereo Art Fletcher or Shafer as eligible for big league club. McGraw has kept both of them for two or three years, both as bench warmers Bridwell was Me- Graw's regular shortstop. With him go- ing right, there was no chance for Fletch- CT, but McGraw finally saw that the veteran was slowing up. He sent Fletch- CT to short field and he has been there ever since. But, should Shafer reconsider his determination to quit the game, the probabilities are that he will succeed Fletcher.
 Just ina zine any of the managers Cleve- lana has had adopting tactics similar to those employed by McGraw.
