Get Ready for Oysters.


Early preparations are being made
for the opening of the oyster season in
the famous Maurice River Cove, the
present agitation against high food
prices and the demand for meat sub
stitutes having convinced the planters
and shippers that the shellfish will be
more popular than ever next fall and
winter. Many of the boats in the fleet
of 300 which operate in the cove have
been ~overhauled during the summer,
and before the end of August the
greater part of them will have been
cleared for action.
Owners of leases have been doing
considerable planting on their beds
this summer. Larger areas would have
been planted had it been possible to
get sufficient help. Captains Of the
boats say it has cost them about $50
a week to operate with five men crews,
including the wages for the men and
a cook and the food.
AS to the oysters, the planters who
have taken samples say they are OF
good quality. There will be no such
thing as a bumper crop" however, as
many of the old beds still show the eff
fects Of the big freeze up Of 1917-18.

PEOPLE IN EARTH's INTERI0R7
Man of Science Believed There Were, and Sought Funds to Make
 an Investigation.

On November 19, 1922, one of the to congress was brought before that body of lawmakers, which was none other than a request from John Gloves Symmes, asking that aid be given him to make voyage to the interior of the globe, which he believed to be in- habitable. He was permitted to lee ture before Union college, at which he expounded his theory, which, however, was met with universal ridicule.
 Notwithstanding which he was great ly respected as a man.. He held that all planetary bodies, including the earth, are composed of concentric spheres, open at their poles. In one of his memoirs he thus illustrates his conception: with dividers describe a plane of matter of loose texture, and in the center add very small circle :; draw line through the center It is evident that either half of the inner circle, being almost equally surround ed by matter, must be very little gray 1tated .centerwise, so being suspended only a rotary motion is needed to throw 1t compactly toward the outer circle. This being admitted it follows that half way from the outlet to the inner side of this circle of matter thus thrown out, like rarity, suspension or balance of gravity should prevail, and hence disposition to concentric circles; therefore it follows that suc- cessive similar subdivisions should ex- ist. gradually lessening in force and quantity. By applying this principle to the earth I find the necessity of hollow concentric spheres"

CIVILIZATIONS OF THE PAST
Nations With High Degree of CultIva- ton That Are Now Only Memory
 In HIstory's Pages.

Thousands of years ago-long before the great western nations of today, long before even Greek and Roman were heard Of-there were more or less advanced civilizations on both sides of the Pacific. China, for exam pie, had grown into a stable Mongol- ian kingdom perhaps 4,OOO years be- fore the beginning of our era. A Chinese author writes: There is no existing nation in the world that has a larger past than China. She has seen the rise and fall of the ancient Egyptian dynasties; the extension of the Persian empire; the conQuests of the Roman legions; the deluge of the Teutonic hordes from the north. and the birth of all the nations of modern Europe"
 The Japanese also, a people com- pounded of various elements, but chiefly Mongolian and Malayan, stood stood at the beginning of our era on high plane of civilization, and even then exhibited the tendencies and the adaptiveness which distinguish them today.
 Then away to the east in Central and South America, civilizations waxed and waned, reaching their high est development in the Aztec and In- can empires. the latter of which was an extremely interesting example of despOtlc socialism.

HOW SARDlNES ARE PACKED
Comparatively Simple Process, but the Work Requires Expert Supervision
 and Must Be Carefully Done.

The process of preparing sardines is very simple but requires experience and great care. Upon the arrival of the sardines at the factory they are immediately placed on large wooden tables about forty feet long, where they are cleaned. This process takes only second, and fairly efficient worker can clean from 300 to 400 pounds of fish per day, according to 8 writer in Fishing Gazette.
 The fish are then placed in vats of brine. where they are allowed to re- main from one-half to two hours, ac- cording to size. They are then placed In wire trays equipped with prongs in upright position, where they are al- lowed to dry for about an hour before they are ready for cooking This Is done by placing the trays in large steam ovens, where the fish are subjected to pressure of about two pounds of steam. twenty minutes being consumed in properly cooking the small fish and as much as tl.irty-hve minutes in cook ing the larger sizes.
 This cooking has to be carefully  watched; if the sardines are subjected to too much steam they become some what brittle and break when being packed. Some sardines are cooked in oil ; however, an extra charge is made for this process, and comparatively few are sold.
 After the sardines have been prop erly steamed the trays are placed on long counters for sorting, which is done by carefully selected and we'll paid girls. After sorting, the tins are filled with oil and placed on shelves, where they are allowed to remain for about twelve hours in order to insure the proper impregnation of the oil. Pure olive oil Is used in preparing most sardines, especially the best grades, but for some markets a mix ture of olive oil and high-grade pea nut oil Is desired.
