Town Made Famous by Oysters.

The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with quaint cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in a
dredger and the mayor made the first
haul of oysters The mayor and cor
poration then consumed gin and gin
ser-bread-a custom which has pre-
vailed since the fishery was first
opened under royal charter in the
reign o. Richard I. A telegram ex-
pressing dutiful devotion was sent to
the king at luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons so
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, aud this device still forms the
arms of the county of Essex. The
Colchester fishery lost all their con-
tinental customers during the war,
but the British public consumed all
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons, and were able
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitalS.

In the Earth's Interior.

From the evidence available, R. D.
Oldham traces three divisions in the
earth's interior. The solid outer crust,
with thickness Of II to J. per cent of
the radius Tor 20 to 40 miles), has
high permanent rigidity, but from un-
known causes has been subject to
determinations, with displacements OF
as much as 10 miles vertically and
100 horizontally. The next section,
about half the radius in thickness, has
high rigidity for such stresses as tidal
action with low rigidity for long-con-
tinued stress. The central nucleus
has low rigidity.s The conclusions re-
lating to the two, inner divisions are
drawn from records Of earthquake
waves.
