In response to the petition of owners,
pilots, masters of vessels, and others in-
terested in the navigation of Long Island
Sound and its harbors, calling attention
to the necessity of establishing or chang-
ing lights and marks in Norwalk harbor
and river, which is a very difficult and
dangerous place to enter at night or in
foggy weather, the Lighthouse Board
has submitted the following report:
Green‘s Ledge Light and Fog-Signal
Station, Cmaecticut—Establishing a
light and fogveignal station on Green‘s
Ledge, Norwalk harbor. Connecticut
Submitted, $60,000. .

uted,$600
The proposed improvements to the
aide in Norwalk harbor and the chan-
nels leading to it are rendered necessary
by the important commercial interests
of this port and the progress with works
of harbor and channel improvement in
this vicinity which are being prosecuted
by the Government.

vsIvs Crews From the Spawn Until it
is Ready for the Market.
The fact that Connecticut is far ahead
of any other state in the activation of
the oyster, makes the oyster exhibit to
be shown at the Public Library, South
Norivalk, during this week of special ill-
terest. The specimens were collected
and scientifically arranged by David C.
Sanford, engineer of the Shell Fish
Commission. who has made a life-long
stud y of the oyster and its enemies. He
is familiar with all its habits and mode
of living. lie has advanced ideas
which have been acceptor] by some of
the greatest scientists of modern times.
and is regarded as an able authority on
the succulent bivalve.
The various specimens are arranged
in glass caves. Beginning with the
spawn one week old, the exhibit shows
the oyster at various ages up to five
years. At the earliest period nothing
can be seen but a mere speck of flint like
substance. liven at this early ago the
oyster has a shell. It gradually in
creases in size until five weeks old.
when the second shell appears. At
three months old the oyster is perfectly
developed, although small in size.
There isu great difference between
the cultivated and the nuculticated bi—
valve. The former is of a scallop shell
rod is more marketable, especially for
i'nreigrilrndo, owing to the fact that
they pack better than the natural oys-
:er. 'lhe latter is long. with no charac-
teristics. Sometimes three or four wrll
be found growing together. These can-
Iiot be shipped any great distance, 0in
ing to the fact that they are apt to open
their shells during the voyage and allow
the liquor to escape. Then they die.
The cultivated oyster. being smaller and
rounder, is wedged in with his fellows ,
in a barrel and cannot open his shell. 3
There is a difference between the oys-
tors grown on a mud bottom and those
that breed on a sandy soil. The former
stand upright on one end and will mea-
sure sevcnincbcs in length, while the
hard soil oyster is compact, round and;
firm.
The exhibit also shows the enemies of
the oyster. The two principal ones are
the star-fish and the drill, a species of
snail. The latter are armed at one point
with a sharp end. They lic along Side
of an oyster and drill a small hulv
through which the heart of the oyster
is extracted.
The star-fish is not equipped with the
1.11m! weapons as tho (ll‘lll. but. on tin-
uudcr side it has a number of small
suckers which fort-e open the shell of
the oystcr. Then an acid is discharged
winch stupefies the bivalve and while
in that condition it is devoured. ’l‘lie
star-fish may be gotten rid of by a do-
vlce known as the ill p dredge. It is
somewhat like the or inary dredge, t-x-
cl-pt that wrapped lll't and the iron bot- }
tom are strands of c‘ lton waste which
trail along and the yo ng star-fish catch
in the fibres and are brought on board
of the oyster steamers. Then they are
dropped in vats of boiling Wiltt'l‘ and
scolded. After this has been uccoln~
plished they are dumps-l overboard
again. ‘
The collcction will be on exhibition
for one week, prcvious to a lecture giv-
en by Mr. Sanford on Monday owning.

IIILL on g i-: IESSAGE.
IIe Thinks President 1 velsad’s Intention It to
[hit , Spain.
()f the president?! message, Congress-
man Hill of Norwslk. is‘repor‘ted us says
lug: ,
"The tone of the message itself, and
the indifference with which it was re-
ceived, indicated to me that it was
neither the expectation of the president
nor the intention of congress to take any
definite action upon the principal sub-
jects referred to during the continuance
of this administration. While his review
of Cuban affairs seemed to favor the in-
surgents, his non-action upon the belig-
crency resolutions of the last session
shows his actual intention to uphold
Spain in the prosecmion of the war.
The tariff portion of the message is as
tonisbing. For the first time we dearn
that an accumulation of borrowed money
is a surplus. I' had always supposed
that in government affairs a surplus was
occasioned by an excess of revenue over
expenditures. Ihnd looked for an ac-
knowledgment of :the actual deficit and
a strong, vigorous recommendation of
some adequate remedy for the existing
situation. in this respect it is disap-
pointing. 1 agree with the suggestions
as to the financial portion of the awesome,
but thus far see no prospect whatever of
favorable action by congress in that
direction." '

The Flremsn Unable to conquer the Flames
. Until Nearly the Entire Building and its
Contents Had Been Reduced to Tin-
der—lany People (tutti Work.
Wnsrronr, Dec. 0—A disastrous fire
broke out lit-i o’clock this morning in
the big Saugatuclr Iron Works building,
owned by Horace Staples and Edward
and Andrew Nash. practically destroy-
ing the building, together with all its
contents, and causing a total loss of
350,000.
The building was alarge four£story
brick structure, and was the finest fac-
tory in the place. It was formerly used
as a foundry, but for the past two years
had been occupied by Charles H. Kem-
per as a morroco leather manufactory.‘
The flames were discoved by a man
named McGill, who lives nearly opposite
the factory. He was awaked shortly
after 4 o‘clock by the reflection of flames
in his bedroom window. Hastily put-
ting on his clothes he ran through the
town, giving an alarm, which brougnt
the fire department and all available as-
sistance to thencene. The fire gained
headway rapidly, and had soon spread to
the entire building.
After two hours work the blaze was
under control at 0 o'clock, though not
until all except a wing had been des-
troyed. The roof of this section of the
building was burned off, and everything
on the four stories ruined by smoke and
water. The building was worth $30,-
000 and was not insured; the policy hav-
ing been allowed to run out. The stock
in the store-rooms was worth $15,000
and the machinery was valued at $5,000,
additional. An insurance was carried
on the stock only. The origin of the
blaze is unknown, though it is believed
to have been from natural causes.
Mr. Kcmper said thisrmorning that
the firemen saved five casks of hldtrl‘
weighing 1.000 each, which were valued
by him at $3,000. He said, the contents
of his office were also saved complete,
