FATTENING OYSTERS,

The Fame of Brightlingsea.

In view of the recent law. pros fecting Hongkong oysters, tho following, in a London paper, will be of lobal interest.

Under a dull sky, a pretty and athletic girl wearing a scarlet; jumper and a scarlet ribbon in hor bair,walked down to the water sida. She might have stood for the spirit of youth that defios all clouds:

W

Fow know Brightlingsea, on the Colne ostuary, a seaside place, so-called, where one must bo ferried to the sands, and where Martella towers tell the story of past alarms. The old town, in its" picturesque parts, is so well protected from the winds that it boasts of flowers that grow in the open as luxuriantly, as they do in the Isle of Wight. But it is not for the Tudor and Jacobean houses, or Causeway, or sands inaccessible to the pedestrian that Brightlingsea claims atton- tion.

To be sure, it is a member of the Cinque Ports and received rights from Sandwich, in Kont, so far back as 450 years ago, and sont ships to fight the Spanish) Armada, and received exemption from harbour dues and jury 'ser- vice, while its citizens had free rights on the beach. A speciali Act of Parliament was needed before Esnox magistrates and corners could act in Brightlingsen, and to-day the Mayor is known) not only as Mayor of Brightling- sea, but as deputy to the Mayor of Sandwich,

BY THE SEVEN 'SEAS.

The sheltered crooks at Bright- lingson are one of the finest breed- ing grounds of the oyster, and to them, on land carefully staked' out and highly rented, many of the world's oyaters are sent to fatten: They come from the eastern! shores of the United States, from Portugal, Denmark, Holland and other countries. Sometimes they travel across the ocean in great| vessels, to be transferred to bar- ges to carry them from the port of call to tho Brightlingsea beds. Some go to the great English ports and are actually sont down by train, to be sown carefully aver the rich lands and then raked into position. In less than four months, as a fisherman said to the writer, "they clean themselves and grow as fat as pork."

All this finishing ground is strictly preserved, and by an old custom of the town those who wore born in Brightlingsea got the first employment in, planting and dredging oysters, and receive also some small share in the pro- fits of the business. The rate of wages is £2 10s. a week,the bonus is paid round about Christmas time,

Yes, a stretch of mud has made the latter-day fame of Brightling- sep-ils Cinque Port traditions are unknown to the world beyond.

AUTOMATIC EYE.

How It Grades Cigars.

The pioneers on the last frontier, the frontier of science ox- pect to solve the labour problem for the world some day.

They expect to do it by abolish- ing labour.

The scientist look upon every necessary mechanical task as one which can be performed even- tually by the proper sort

of automatic machinery.

Autos and tractors constitute automatic feet. Derricks and cranes are automatic hands. Dozons of delicate machines might be classed as automic fingers.

Now the scientist has added an! automatic eye to the list.

The photo-electric cell does the trick. This consists of some me-
