OYSTERS APPETITE
IS LIKE GOURMAND
Private Life of BifurCated
BivaIve Exposed by
IChthyoIogiStS.

The oyster is a gluttonous eater in
warm water, but goes on hunger strike
as soon as the temperature sinks to D
degrees centigrade, DR.. p. S. FaltSoH OF
the United States Bureau of Fisheries
told the biennial scientific conference
of the bureau at the National Museum
yesterday.
BY ingenious laboratory experiments,
he explained, it has been found that at
25 degrees centigrade the oyster passes
approximately four quarts of water
through its body in an hour, gradually
decreasing this amount as the tempera-
ture falls. The lowest point at which
the oyster would eat, he said, was at z
degrees.
This discovery of the Information
habit of the oyster, it was explained, has
n valuable practical application in de-
termining the safety of marketing oys-
fers from intermediate beds which
might be slightly contaminated.
Private Life Exposed.
The private life of the oyster grad
ually is yielding its secrets to science,
DR.. GaltSoff said. 1t has been found
that the female oyster sometimes will
deposit eggs when the temperature of
the water reaches 81 centigrade without
the presence of male sperm in the
water, but when the latter is added
spawning will take place at minimum
of 20 degrees.
a new water farming industry is be-
ing made possible in the Middle West by
the researches on fresh water mussels
by Dr. NJ. M. Ellis of the University of
Missouri, the conference was told. The
shells of these muSSels are used in max
ing buttons, an $8,000,000 year indus
try.
In nature the muSSels pass part of
their pre-adult life as parasites on fish
and the only way to secure the shells in
the past has been to place these para
sites on fresh water fish, to be scattered
over wide area. DR.. Ellis has per-
fected a chemical solution in which the
mussel will grow without the need of a
fish host.
This makes possible growing them in
small areas where they can easily be
harvested. Already extensive mussel
farms are being laid out.
Food Fish Becoming Extinct.
Some of the most valuable food fish
of the Great Lakes are becoming eX-
tinct, due to lack of protective regula-
tionS, the conference was told by DR..
John Van Oosten of the Great Lakes
Laboratory. While some of the condi-
tions leading to this extinction have
been recognized for so years, he said, it
has been impossible to secure uniform
legislation by the American and Ca
madam States bordering on the lakes.
Mackerel must keep moving at GER
tain speed to keep alive, DR.. F. G.. Hall
of Duke University said yesterday after
noon. The respiratory system of the
mackerel. he said, apparently functions

only when the fish is moving forward,
regardless of the oxygen content of the
water, and it soon becomes aSphyxiated
when the forward movement ceases.
Experiments with $4,000 marked SAL
mon released in the klamath River and
its tributaries in California reveal that
after migrating to sea and reaching ma
turity they invariably return to their ma
tive river to spawn, said DR.. j. o. Snyder
of Stanford University.

Conservators for Stanley McCor-
mick to Be Named January II.


CHICAGO, January (P.-A board
of conservatorS for the huge estate of
Stanley Mccormick, millionaire, recent
ly held incompetent to manage his own
affairs, will be appointed January IL.
Probate Judge Henry Horner an
nounced yesterday on that date he also
would consider the question of the jur-
isdiction of his court over a board of
conservators for the person of Mr.. Nc
Cormick.
A board of conservation for both the
person and the estate of Mr.. McCor-
mick was asked in a petition presented
by his wife. Several years ago the CAL
ifornia courts appointed board of con-
servation for the person.
Mrs. Mccormick argued, through her
attorneys, that the California court had
no jurisdiction. His residence is in Chi
cago, she said, although he was moved
to California.
