Deep Water Oystermen Get a De
ctslon Against Ttiem.
STATE BOARD MEETS IH HAMPTON
In a Formal Report the Fisheries
Commission Says That ,There Is
Room Enough for Both Industries
Without Conflicting.
At its meeting In Hampton yes?
terday the State Board of Fisheries
handed down a decision refusing
the application of a number of per?
sons for privileges for deep water
oyster planting between Capo Henry
and Ocean View.
The opinion was given by State
Chairman W. McDonald Lee, and
was as follows:
"The chairman and secretary of
the board, to whom the matter was
referred for deep water planting
1 nrposes, have heard the petitioners
through their respective counsel ami
the evidence of disinterested parties,
and also to several interests that
opposed the granting of deep water
bottoms between Ocean View and
Capo i.enry, principal among them
the menhudan and pound-net fishers
und tho crabbing interests, have
submitted the results of their de
liberations to tho board.
"It Is the decision or this board
that while the petitioners for deep
water bottoms are not unreasonable
4^ i heir requests, from the stand?
point of pyster culture, and are act?
ing within tho rights and privileges'
permitted by special laws, (which
statute, however, leaves it optional
with th'o board to grant Or refuse
stich petitions,) the board deems
inadvisable at this- time to grant
any of said petitions. This decision
U reached chefly because of the
onibryonc stage of the hard crab
industry prior requests which though
rejected, cannot bo entirely ignored,
wheii considering the question now;
the problematical action by the next
legislature in retpeel to taxing and
regulating the hard crab Industry,
and the' disturbing of existing fish?
ery tenures at the 'beginning of
another season.
"The hoard is of the opinion liiai
crabing, fishing and oystoring privi?
leges , within this terrtory should in
the near future be better distributed!
and it will at the proper time advise
legislation to that end, whereby each
of the three interests named may
share in the occupancy and fruits of
one of the most desirable of our wa?
ter possessions.
"it is tho opinion of this- hoard
that the State has not heretofore
derived adequate revenue from the
occupancy of shores between Ocean
View and Cnpe Henry, and that the
inspectors in these localities he, and
are hereby, directed to see that a
greater number of fishing privileges
are let, if there he demand, bet we -i
Ocean View and Cape Henry for
the fishing season of 1907."
The applicants' were D Storriiont
Stormont Fish Co., Capo Henry,
syndicate, L. W. Tazewell John "W.
Buchanan & Sons .T. H. Buchanan,
Tobault & Brown. M. Lambert, Foil
ersteln &? Co., and others all of the
other side of tho Roads.
The board transacted considerable
routine business ami adjourned to
meet in Norfolk sometime during
next month.
Chairman Lee went to Richmond
and Secretary Matthews returned to
his* homo in Mathews county. Sen
utor Keezel returned to Harrison
burg and Mr. R. A. James left for
Danville.

A BOLD PROJECT.
Tl?o Scheme by Which Halct Nearly
Captured I'urU in 1812.
A bold scheme was that engineered
by Malet, a Frenchman. Malet had
been a republican general, was ruined
by the rise of Napoleon, betook himself
to plotting, wns arrested ami dually
put in a madhouse. During the em?
peror's nbsence In Russia In 181- Ma
let escaped one night from his prison,
obtained a general's uniform and with
an accomplice dressed as an aid-de?
camp made bis way to the prison of
l.a Force, where the unsuspecting gov?
ernor released on his command two
other ox-republicans; Generals Laborle
und Guldal, prisoners on a like charge
to his own. Together they proceeded
to a neighboring barracks, announced
to the commandant that Napoleon was
dead and that they were njetlng by tbo
decree of the senate, ordorWT the troops
to be paraded and dispatched bodies of
men upon various duties. Some ar?
rested Suvnry, the minister of police;
others the police prefect. Another bat?
talion seized the Hotel do Vllle. Ev
orybody obeyed Malet Implicitly, even
the prefect of the Keine, and be would
undoubtedly have gained possession of
Paris had bo not been recognized by
Labordc, chief of the military police,
as an escaped prisoner, lie wns ar?
rested after a sculllc, the plot, was un?
raveled, ami In duo course Malet, with
twenty-three of his abettors, was shot.
HOW WATER ACTS.
Ita ExpouKton iitnl Cunlrxellon and
Kn Solvent Powers.
Water contracts as It falls from the
normal boiling point, 212 degrees, un?
til it reaches 30 degrees. Below that
degree it expands, and at 112 degrees,
the freezing point. It will expand
enough to burst pipes and vessels hold?
ing It.
When the pressure of the air Is be?
low normal, water bolls at a lower tem?
perature than 212 degrees. This Is uo
tlcetl before a rain, when the barometer
shows by U falling mercury a decreas?
ed ah- pressure. This also explains
why wtiter holts away more rapidly,
quickly or at a lower temperature in
the mountains, where the pressure of
the air Is less than on the Bcacoast or
In the valleys. If sugar or salt Is add?
ed to water the temperature of the
boiling point Is raised a few degrees.
As a rule, ns water Is heated It will
hold a greater amount of a substance
In solution. A familiar exccptlou Is
the fact that Ice water will dissolve
twice as much lime as boiling water.
At the other extreme boiling water
will dissolve seventeen times ns much
saltpeter e.s will cold water. But wa?
ter varies In Its solvent powers regard
less of heat. One pound of water will
hold two pounds of sugar In solution,
but only two ounces of common salt.
PnuiIclaeeuHe.
Prank incense Is the purest of nil in?
cense. It is a gum resin from an Ara?
bian terebinth. To obtain this a deep
incision is made In the trunk ami be?
low it a narrow strip of bark peeled
off. When the exudation has harden?
ed, the liiclslon Is deepened. In about
three mouths the resin has acquired a
sufficient degree of consistency. It is
gathered In large quantities and pack?
ed la goatskins, it was formerly be?
lieved that tbo trees which yielded
frankincense were Infested by winged
serpents, and the only way to be rid
of them and to get at the treasure was
by burning gum styrnx. an odorifer?
ous balsam of aromatic smell. Frank?
incense was forbidden to be used for
embalming, as It was sacred to Baerl
llclal purposes. The Israelites were
strictly prohibited from compounding
it. Now It Is used largely In Roman
Catholic and high church ceremonies.

Investigation of the capacity of hens
to lay eggs results in the discovery
Hint the egg production of hens de
treases considerably after the ago of
four years. Thus a ben lays at the
Age of one year about '20 eggs; at tbo
ago of two years, about 120; at the
age of three years, about l??; at tbo
age of four years, about 115; at the
ago of five years, about 80, and at the
age of six years, about GO. These fig?
ures go to show that hens should never
be kept in the poultry yard more than
four years, for after tbo lapse of this
time they do not yield a proper return
on the food they consume.

There is surely no word in the no
mcnciature of guns, big nud little,
which hits caused nud Is causing so
tiiucli confusion in the lay mlud us tlic
word caliber,
The confusion arises elilolly from the
use of the term In an adjectival sensu
to Indicate length, as wheu wc say n
50 caliber six inch gun.
The word caliber ns applied to mill
lory signifies essentially and at all
times the diameter of the boro of a
gtm. A gun. then, of six Inch caliber
Is a gun whose bore Is Just six Inches.
For convenience nud because tbo
power of 11 gun when once Its bore has
been decided upon depends so greatly
upon Its length, artillerists are In the
habit of defining the length of tbo gun
In terms of the caliber.
Tbo six Inch rapid lire gun, as mount?
ed on the ships of the navy, Is a tri Ho
under twenty live feet In length aud
Is therefore known as a .10 caliber gun.
In the case of small arms the caliber
Is expressed in hundredthS of an Inch,
as when wo say a '22 caliber or .'12 cali?
ber pistol, moaning that the bore Is
~" or .3-' of an Inch In diameter.?Sci?
