fle merely deposits a large number
az smaH stones, to which the oyster

Then his diving women transplant the
young oysters. to deeper waters TO pro
tect them from the cold.
Here they lie on carefully prepared
beds until in their third year they be-
come full grown, and have firmly at
tachad themselves 20 the stones by
means Of "necks" which they secrete.
AT this time the diving women bring
the mollusks to the surface and they
undergo an operation. A small seed
pearl is introduced into the center Of
the shell. Then the oysters are re-
planted in the bed and left alone for
Afour years.
When they are again brought to the
surface 1t is found that the seed pearl
nucleus has been covered with many
layers of the nacre. a secretion Of the
mollusk. and the large, brilliant trans
lucent pearl Of commerce has been
formed

to mature a large percentage OF the

raided by such enemies as the octopus
and the starfish.
Occasionally the red current"
sweeps over them and in a day de-
stroys the entire crop At all times
the farmer must keep his oyster bed
free Of "miruno," a seaweed which
will smother the crop.
Women divers trained from girl
hood to long dimensions in the sea
are engaged at 90 cents a day to care
for the farm In this work they wear
nothing but a head cloth, white shirt
and diving goggles At each dive
they can gather several oysters and
return to the surface.
A dive occupies about one minute,
and a days work is from four to six
hours. An expert can readily gather
500 oysters a day in depth of water
ranging from two to six fathoms. To
keep at the work for day they must
frequently come up and warm them
selves at a fire.

Interfere with the short courses that
will be offered this winter. A suit

Experiment Station will be temporar-

Special attention is being called to
the two weeks short course in hor-
ticulture, which begins next Tues
day. This course is designed for
practical men engaged in this indus
try in the State. All phases of fruit
and truck growing, insect pests and
diseases will be discussed by men who
have made a special study of the sub
jects. There will be practical dem
constructions in all phases of the work.
The arrangements give opportd-
nifty for a man to take two weeks
course free, except board, at a time
when he can well afford to leave
home for a short period to better fit
him for his work.
There are many growers in this
county who should plan to take this
or one of the other short courses
offered by this State institution. The
dates of the courses are as follows;

means Of jacks and levers on to low

front axle to the rear, in place of the
ordinary tongue, and a good team of
powerful horses proceeds to haul the
dwelling to it's new site. Naturally,
in moving such cumbersome loads
great care has to be taken, but many

Once over the state line and into
Connecticut Thaw is immune from
arrest so far as the Stanford White
murder is concerned Should the au-
thorities arrest him there on some pre-
text he could not be eXtradited. Legal
experts assert that there is no clause
in the eXtradition law which is appli-
cable to the Thaw case.
Six Men Involved.
Evidence that six men were involv-
ed in the plot to liberate Thaw was
made by the discovery that four of
them have been stopping at the Hol-
land hotel here since Friday night.
mnd that a fifth. said to be the chauf-
feur of the fast Packard automobile,
stayed over Saturday night. The sixth
was the operator of the iandaulet. the
smaller car.
After Thaw abandoned the landaulet
for the big and speedy Packard. the
former followed, evidently for the pur.
pose of blocking any machine that
might follow and to pick up Thaw and
his party in the event of a wreck.

Cannot Be Extradited.
Assistant District Attorney Frank
Moss said yesterday that Thaw had
/ been acquitted of the crime of murder
on the ground of insanity and that
therefore there was no charge remain
ing against him.
"He cannot be eXtradited as far as |
can see,'' said Mr.. Moss. "He was
placed in Matteawan because his men
tai condition made him public dan
ger. And you cannot eXtradite because
of a disease a man has. This case was

Assistant District Attorney Embree
gave it as his own belief that Thaw
had been committed to Matteawan
pending his sanity and that If he re
covered from insanity he would be
brought back to the court in which he
was tried for the final disposition of
his case. He said he had been acquit-
ted Of the charge of murder, but that
