FERTILITY UNDER WATER.
POSSIBILITIES OF THE BOTTOM OF
CHESAPEAKE BAT.
It Is One of the Richest Afrloulttiral
Itcirlons In the World Adapted
Only For One 'rop.
Gy HKSArEAK; BAY, sa.tr tbo
' Washinpton Htar, is one of tho
richest apricnlttiral roRions of
tho cartli. The fertility of it
bottom can bo compared only with
thn of tho valley of tho Nile aud Iho
(tanpos nml tthcr proat rivers. But
it is ailnptotl for pnulticiiig only ono
crop tho oyster. This niollnsk, it
must be rcmctnboroil, lives on vege
table foo 1, as do nil animals directly
orindircotly. If there were no plants,
nil animals would starve at once.
All human food is vegetable in its
origin, whether eaten in tho shapo of
plauts or nsbocf, mutton and epps. In
tho sen the blue fish preys on smaller
fishes; many of theso on smaller ones;
those, in turn, upon minute crusta
ceans ; those on still smaller creaturea ;
nnd those last pasture on the micro
scopic plants which swarm at the sur
face of the ocean. All nnimals ou land
and water depend for their existence
on vcpctnblo food.
To the superficial observer the vege
tation of the sea appears to be very
scanty, aud, except for the friupe of
sea weeds aloug the shore, tho ocean
seems, so far as plant life is concerned,
to be a barren desert. But tho micro
scope shows that tho surface swarms
with minute plants, most of them of
strange forms, having nothing in com
mon with tho trees aud herbs and
grasses of the laud except tho power
to changes mineral matter into food
that is tit for animals.
Most of these plants are so small as
to be invisible to tho tiuaided eye,
and, even when they are gathered to
gether in mass, it looks like slimy,
discolored water. They seem too in
siguificent to play any important part
in the economy of uatur but tho
great monsters of tho deep, beside
which the elephaut nnd the ox and the
elk are small animals, owe their exist
ence to these microscopic plants.
Their vegetative power is wonderful
past all expression. Among laud plants
corn, which yields seed about a hun
dredfold in a single season, is the em
blem of fertility, but it enu be Bhown
that a simple murine plant very much
smaller than a grain of mustard Beed
wonld fill the whole ocean solid in less
than it week, if oil of its descendauU
were to live.
As couutless minute animals nro
constantly pasturing upon them the
multiplication of these plants is kept
in check, but in calm weather it is no
rare thing to fiud great tracts of wntet
many miles in extent pocket! so fnll ol
them that the whole surface is con
verted into a slimy mass, which breaki
the waves and smooths the surface
like oil. Tho ao-ealled "back water"
of tho Arctic and Autartic Oceans con
taints of a mass of these plants crowded
together until tho sens are discolored
by them.
Through these sens of "black water'
roam the right whales, the largest ani
mals on earth, gulping at each mouth
ful hundreds of gallons of the littlo
mollusks and crustaceans which feed
ou the plants. In tropical Beas ships
sometimes sail for days through great
floating inlands of this surface, vege
tation, and the Red Sea owes its name
to tho coloration of its water by
warms of microscopies plants which
are of a reddish tinge. It has been
surmised that man may at some future
time assert his dominion over tho
fishes of the sea, sending out flocks
and herds of domesticated mnrine
animals to pasture aud fatten upon
the vegetable life of the ocean and to
make its vast wealth of food available.
Chesapeake Bay receives tho drain
ago of more than 4(1,000, 00,) acres of
fertile land, the most valuable part of j
the soil from which is received eventu
ally in the bosom of its o,uiet waters.
There it is deposited all over the
bottom in tho form of fine black sedi
mcut, kuiiwu as oystur mud. This is
just as valuable to man aud as fit to
nourish plants as tho mud which set
tles everv year ou the wheat fields and
rice fields of Kgypt. It is a natural
fertilizer and it is so rich in organic
matter that it pntrifieg in a few hours
when exposed to the sun.
In the shallow waters of the bay,
uuder tho influence of warm suulight,
this mud produces a most luxurious
vegetation, but with few exceptions
the plants which grow from it are mi
croscopic and invisible. They are not
confined like laud plants to the sur
face of the soil, their food beiug dif
fused iu solution throughout the whole
body of the water. As they are
bathed ou all aides by nourishment,
they do not have to go through the
slow process of sucking it through
roots ami stems, and they grow an 1
multiply at a rate which has no par
allel iu the laud plants. In fact, they
would quickly choke up the whole bay
if they were not held in check by
couutless minuto animals which feast
upon them.
The oyster is an animal especially
adapted for living in bujIi waters and
for gathering np these microscopic
plants and turning them into
food for man. Microscopic animals
also contribute to its diet. These are
rather abundant iu all water, though
not so much bo as most people ima
gine. When a professional exhibitor
shows you, under the microscope, what
he calls a drop of pure water, it is
nothing of tho sort. It iseither a col
lection made by filtering several bar
rels of water, or elwi it is u drop
squeezed from a piece of decayed nioss
or from some other substance in which
such small organisms have lived aud
multiplied.

WHISKY AND WAR.

who ceded to white men the ground ou which
Chicago stands, visited the World's Fair. He
was vexed by the sale of liquor In the grounds
and afterward wrote a letter in which he
says that the Fort Dearborn massacre ot
lHli was cause,! by liquor furnished to Hie
Indians. In defence ot his race be denies
that it was a massacre, but a battle, in whleh
the Indians lost more thnn the whiles. But,
he says, "my father said 'rattlesnake water'
had more to do with the fight than anything
else. When shipments were received at I ho
fort there were ttve barrels of snake water to
one of flour and meat nnd that it was a
common thing for traders to say : 'Whisky

ALCOHOL Ht'BTFl'I, IN MEDICINE.
Dr. Charles G. Davis, of Chicago. In a
paper read before tho National Tempornneo
Convention and printed in the Journal of
the American Medical Association, speaking
ot the National Temperance Hospital ot Chi
cngo, says :
"lhe basic rr Inclines upon which this
Institution rests may lie formulated as fol
lows :
"1. Alcohol is a poison.
"2. When taken Into the system, it Is rot
assimilated, but passes the rouud ot the cir
culation, and is Anally thrown off through
tbe organs of excretion, unchanged.
"3. vi title nisslng through tho body It
disturbs the various physiological processes
and in this way lays the foundation for dis
ease. 1. It does not stimulate or strengthen.
but It depresses and weakens.
As it is not assimilated, it cannot be a
food.
"8. As it disturbs every physiological pro
cess, it cannot be a medicine.
'7. There is no disease afflicting the body
that canaot bo more successfully treated
witnout man witn tne use oi alconoi.
8DOakiug of the suiteess wliieh has in
tended the treatment of surgiealand medical
oases without alcoholic or ferineuted drinks,
he savs :
"The lesson already taught bus been suffi
ciently convincing to impress the most
icepticai that alcohol is not only unneces
sary as an active medlclual agent, but that,
in a majority of case, it Is an actual hin
drance to the recovery ot the patient. Hlowly

PLENTY OF MONEY Ton MQCOR,
The times are hard. Many people are out
Of work, because manufacturers have beeu
obliged to discharge numerous bands or have
closed their establishments altogether. The
consequence is great suffering to many fami
lies. All lines of business are affected. Busi
ness men generally complain of tliininished
sa'.es and prollts. Yet there is one class of
business men who nppeur to be but little af
fected by the hiirJ times those ongaged in
the liquor trnfllc. Investigations in differ
ent cities show that Hie quantity of liqnoi
consumed right along is euormous. Tho
city of Worcester. MiissnchuseltH. contains a
population of 85,003 people. In that city are
found eighty saloons which pty a total sum
of tllH.000 for licenses and ttji.003 for rents,
and during the past year sold liquor to the.
enormous amount of il.'JOO.tlOO ; that is, each
saloon received on nil average 50 a day.
Where did this money eomo from' Lurgely
trom the laboring class, and this is the clii
that is sulTerlng mostly from the hard times.
Iu our eity of Heading we have nearly 2U0
places where intoxicating liquors are sold.
The license foe is 1500, which makes a total
of about KMI.IKIO for fees alone. Not only
have applications been made for all tbe pres
ent stauils. but also for some new ones. No
failures have occurred among this class of
business men, and the business appears to be
prosperous. Here, as elsewhere, tbe saloons
are supported mainly by the workfngclasses.
Tbunk Go I, not all workiugiueu are drink
ers ! Thousands ot them are among ih.i
most exemplary citizens. Yet it is easy to
Bee what a drain are the saloons upon ths
community. It lias beta stated that iu this
eity more money lb spent for liquor thun for
bread, and ttie statement isno doubt correct.
This state of things will go far to explain
the cause of the existing dcbtitullon in very
umuy cases. l'.eformed Church llecord.

A Mrat-Eating 'atlon.
Tho recent dinner of tho Vegetarian
Sooiety in this city has attracted con
siderable attention. A gentleman
from Germany who has rocently made
a tour of observation iu this country,
commenting on this vegetarian move
ment, said it was jiiBt what tho tTnitod
States needed. Ho added, "Ameri
cans eat too much meat. I have ob
served that fact wherever I bavn rrnno
Yon have meat for breakfast, for
luncheon ami dinner. la Germany
our breakfast is a cup of coffeo and a
boiled euir or two. Then
mid-day dinner in courses, a simple
supper anu a snacK tiorore wo go to
bed." My German friend was com
pelled to admit, however, that ho was
not as frugal in his diet as he pro
tended to be, for he said that tho Gor
man people nlwavs felt free to take a
saudwich and a cm of eolfen or a irlouu
of beer betwoou their meals and as a
rule managed to eat at least live or six
times a day. Englishmen are grent
meat eaters. Perhaps we iuherit our
appetite and our taste from thorn.

The Suud-ln-Sngar Fiction.
Nearly everybody entertains th
Opinion that a dishonest merchant
will mix sand with his sugar for tho
purpose of gain. This is indeed a
popular error, for sugar is but rarelv
adulterated, from the fact that unless
scientifically done, and then only with
a certaiu kind of clay, the fraud would
eomo to light without tho consumer
applying auy test. If sand is mixed
with sugar it would bo discovered by
the sugar eater, or the sand would bo
found as a deposit at the bottom of
the coffee cup, or it would betray it
self by the grit in the cako. lloiuo

was vary low with a cough and at tinirs
spit up much blood. I was not able to do
the least work, but most of the tints was in
bed. I was all run down, very weak, my
bead was diizy and I was extremely despon

to do me much good, but I had faith in it
and continued using it until I bad taken
fifteen bottles and now I do not look nor

People are astonished and say, 'well, last

that you would be living now.' I can tbauk
tully say I am entirely cured ot a disease
which, but for your wonderful 'Discovery
would hava resulted in my death."
