OYSTER CULTURE IN JAPAI
Over Two Centuries Ago , the Oriental
Were Engaged In Industry of
Recent Origin Here.
The backwardness and hnpri
gressiveness of the element of ou
population that opposes oystc
culture are indicated by a fat
stated in the National Geographi
Magazine , namely , that the.Tapai
ese were cultivating oysters ovc
two centuries ago on the on ]
practical basis of individual coi
troloftheoyster bottoms. This ii
tclligeiit people long ago saw wlni
our politicians do not yet see-
that reaping without sowing is < i
improvident and ruinous in aqu
culture as in agriculture. "J
comes as a shock to our niitiom
pride , " says the National Ge
graphic Magazine for May , "tut
the Japanese should have takt
up oyster culture a century befoi
our nation wan born and have re
ognized the most essential fact <
in successful cultivation , name !
individual ownership or contr
of the oyster bottoms , when v
remember that in the most impo
taut oyster region in the worl
within a short distance of the ca
ital of the United States , the vit
principles of oyster culture are i
nored and efforts to apply the
are resisted sometimes by for
of arms. " Happily for the Jap
among them the least iutelligei
are not permitted to dictate tl
policy of the state to their ov
hurt and to the injury of large pu
lie interests.
Not only do the Japs cultiva
with great profit the common 03
ter , but they cultivate also tl
pearl oyster. They stimulate tl
pearl secretion artificially , wi
the result that every year tin
have 1,250,000 oysters und
treatment and obtain annual
some 1150,000 pearls. Among
the raising of terrapin is an u
solved problem , so that we are f ji
ing the extinction of the diamon
back and of other less valued v
rieties. Hut the Japs for yea
have been placing artificial
grown terrapin on the mark <
Near Tokio a single farm marke
yearly a crop of about 50.000
liO.OOO terrapin. In view of fat
like this it seems to be "up to" o
people to take a comprehensi
view of their valuable but neglei
ed water areas areas which v

crops largely exceeding in val

our position in the van of mode
progress , but in respect to t
utilization of our natural resoi
ces we are far in the rear of t

view of primitive savages w

BLACK DEATH , RATS , FLEAS
It Is Believed That Germs on Rodents
Are Accountable for Ter
rible Plague.
The origin and nature of the ?
black death , which devastated Eu
rope during the middle ages , has
never been clear , snyjs Collier's.
It seems certain that the infection
was brought by the ships of cer
tain tradersescaping from the Cri
mea , where they had been at
tacked by the Tartars at a town
ou the River Don. During the at
tack the Tartars were stricken
with violent plague , which caused
great loss of life among them. In
the hope of giving the curse to the
people of the besieged town , they
threw bodies of their dead into
the town. Their hopes were ful
filled , and the defenders were
also attacked by the plague.
These traders took to their ships
and sailed to various European
ports , Constantinople , Venice and
Genoa , leaving the black death
everywhere behind them. This I
black death had certain striking
features in common with the Bom
bay plague of India. A careful
search of the records of Indian
history has shown that there hud
been an outbreak of plague in In
dia just previous to the time of
the Tartar siege and the introduc
tion of the black death into Eu
rope. These Tartars might very
easily have taken the disease from
the people of India. If that is the
true story of the train of events ,
then the black death of the middle
ages was the modern plague , adis-
ease which we know to be caused
by a certain specific bacillus.
Efforts have been made to
lenrn the means by which this dis
ease is carried , and what causes
lead to an outbreak. Certain
facts bearing on these points have
lately come to light and may lead
to a correct knowledge of the
means of plague transmission.
Rats have the disease and rat fleas
have been examined and found to
contain quantities of the plague
bacilli. Ordinarily the rat fleas
are not found on man. During ep
idemics of plague , however ,
these rat fleas are found in notable
quantities on human beings , and
there is no evident reason why
Ihey may not inoculate man bv
their bites. Doubtless these
things have something to do with
the spread of the plague , although
enough is not yet known to allow
the whole chain of events to be
made out.
HISTORY IS A NEW STUDY.
Recognition by Universities of Im
portance of America's Story
of Recent Date.
It seems incredible to stu
dents of the present day that
within the last three decades only
has American history been con
sidered of enough importance to
be given a place in the study
courses of our large universities.
Henhy Cabot Lodge , in the
Reader Magazine , says : "A
little more than 30 years ago a
boy could enter Harvard college
and after four years graduate
with the highest honors without
knowing af the existence of the
Declaration of Independence or
when the constitution of the Unit
ed States was framed. What was
true of Harvard was true of other
universities and colleges. Amer
ican history was not included in
the scheme of the higher educa
tion. Boys entering college were
required to know something of
the history of Greece and Rome ,
but not of their own country. Dur
ing the four years of the college
course they had an opportunity to
study the history of England and
Europe , but never to learn aught
of the United States. This con-
ditiou of education was merely an
indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away , but which had
once been predominant. The usu
al opinion seems to have been dur
ing the first half of the nineteenth
century that there was no Ameri
can history worth telling , apart
from the adventures of the earli
est settlements and the events of
the revolution , which were both
connected so closely with the his
tory of Europe that they might
be deemed of importance. "
The Bicycle in Germany.
The bicycle still holds its own
abroad , as is shown by the fact
that the exports of bicycles and
parts of bicycles from Germany
during the years 1002 , 1003 and
100-1 were valued at $3,427,200 ,
§ 4,410,600 , and $4,795,700 respec
tively.
