Curious Facts About Oysters.
+ An oyster is wonderfully prolific,
producing 30,000,000 young in one
year. If they and their offspring all
survived, they would, within a few
years multiply so greatly as to fill up
our great bays and sounds, like Long
Island Sound, Peconic, Gardiners,
Narragansett, Great South and Ches-
apeake bays, so that navigation would
be prevented. The oyster shells would
form solid land, as do the houses of
the coral insects; but, instead of in-
creasing, the destruction of the young
oysters by their enemies is so great,
together with the depletion of the nat-
ural beds by the demand for this de-
licious food by mankind, that, far
from increasing, the supply has great-
ly depleted, and in many cases has
threatened to become extinct. This
was especially true in Great Britain
and some places on the Atlantic
Coast.

It seems that our Dutchman is ad-
verse to shoveling snow, and does not
take pride in having the walk in front
of his home in passable condition. To
teach him the necessity of a clean-up
process, some busy lads last week
shoveled a lot of snow up against his
gate, and in order for him to get out
of the yard, he was compelled to climb
over the fence and clean up. We trust
the first lesson will be sufficient for
the “German.”

When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks
in with, “There's an awful lot of ‘water’ in
the railroads,” here are some hard-pan facts
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
| —roadbed, structures, stations, yards, termin-
als, freight and passenger trains—everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile—just a bare road, not count-
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc.
Our railroads couldn’t be duplicated to-
day for $150,000 a mile.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mile—
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000.

Low capitalization and high operating effici-
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
