SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST

THE OYsTER.-Au observer OF. the oyster
saws that he is not SO stupid as he looks; he
can keep his mouth shut and thereby defy all
our arts to vile a secret from him. when
snatting time with the oyster comes it is said
to be sick or milky This appearance Is due
to the accumulation of the spat, which IS, 10
its earlier stages of development, OF creamy
consistence and color When the spat is ma
ture it assumes the appearance OF the scraplngs
of slate pencil; the parent oyster then opens
its shell, aud kind of mistincss is observable
in the surrounding water. This is caused by
the npyriads Of young oysters scattered ID every
direction. No sooner are these, tiny creatures
free from their mother than they assume the
most active state of life and motion, dancing
and gyrating up and down in eccentric COL
umns, as midgets play In the evening SUI
beams. Uuder the lens OF microscope you
will see how exquisitely these little fellows are
fashioned A pair Of tiny shells, the counter
part of those of the maturer oyster ehcioSes
the vet rudimcntary organs, while ahAeu 10
the mantle is kind Of tiny coronet. coWp9seo
of minute hair-like appendages, (clla) The
violent and ceaseless vibration of these paddles
serves to row the infant oyster rapidly from
place to place. Should it be the destiny OF one
of these fragile beings to become steady, we'll
behaved oyster, it finally settles Itself upon
some suitable resting place, to which it makes
itself tast-no one very clearly Knows how-by
the under valve or shell. The brstle-hke oars
or ella, no longer Of any utility, disappear,
and, now pelnanen. fixture, the baby oyster
begins to grow. A, about fortnight old it is
not much bigger than a fair. sized pin $ head
and at three months about that OF a split pea.
Having attained years growth under iaVora-
Bile conditions the young oyster will have be-
come as biz as 40 ordinary half penny, while
at four years growth they are considered
marketable.
