New Bed OF ScaIIops.

The demand for sea food is a per-
sistent and an increasing one. so
much so that in some lines the sup
ply is threatening with extinction.
This Is particularly true of the lob
ster, which is every year becoming
scarcer and consequently dearer, and
even the ]succuIent clam is not found
in It's former abundance In those
haunts TO which & once gave fame.
But the scallop is n good substitute,
and the report just made to the sec
rotary OF commerce that a bed OF the
giant variety. thirty miles wide and
extending from Rhode Island TO the
Virginia capes, has been found. is
very reassuring. The common kind
are plenty enough, but they are only
half as large as the giant variety. and
not accounted 50 great a delicacy.
This new source of supply is regard
ed as practically inexhaustible, and II
is not likely to have an Immediately
lowering effect upon the price OF q

Sir William Ramsay characteriZe IS
Ephesus as the City OF Change" And

wharves. Now the traveller TO EpheSrIs
can scarcely imagine that he is near
the sea. To all appearances he is us
far away as on one OF our inland prai-
ries. The Cayster during all these agcs
has brought down mud and silt from
the mountains until now Ephesus Is
miles from the seashore. Even in st.
Johns time the port vas kept open
only by strenuous effort and constant
dredging.
These changes wrought by nature
have compelled frequent changes on
the part Of the inhabitants. The orr :;
