The worst enemies of the oyster are the
STARTS and the bOrer StATiish in Long Is
land Sound abound at certain seasons of the
year on the Connecticut coast, aud when the
oyster supply is slack there, and starfsh APP
pear in great numbers, they migrate to the
shore OF Long Island. Their methods OF al
vancing on an oyster bed are either to form
in a long row like a winrow on a hay field
and swoop down on their prey, or to roll
themselves into balls three or four feet in d.
ameter aud drift with the tide until good
camping ground is reached, when the ball
melts away and the separated starfsh begin
to feed. A starfish can crawl on sea bottom
and can float, hut it makes slow progress in
swimming When oysteTmen zee these bun
dies of starfsh they go out with drodges so
made that the heavier oyster remains on its
bed, but the lighter startish are scooped up,
and it has been known that in one day
dredge scooped up three big scowfuls Of star
fish. They were used as "a fertilizer. There
is not enough substance to them to make
them fit for eating They are like puG ball,
all outside aud no inside.
The starfsh at the Cold Spring hatoheres
are having good time feeding on oysters.
They fast each one on an oyster, with the
middle of the star in the centre of the oysters
shell. Thon the adjustable stomach slowly
comes out of the creature and spreads around
the edges of the shell until the vital economy
of the stariilh is mostly out-of doors, while
the oysters lips are sealed. As soon as it
opens the shells 10 take in water and nourish.
ment, as is its habit twice in twenty-four
hours, the starfish throws out secretion
which resembles gastric juice, and which kills
the oyster. Tdeu the starlish appropriates
the oyster and pulls ia ITS stomach No
method of destroying starish other than that
now used has been discovered, Tut it il get
ting a scientific investigation which may be
bad for it some time or other.
The borer is also being Investigated. Pro
lessor Rice showed one at work yesterday
| which had been at work two weeks and had
drilled a hole in the edge of the she'll whore
there was no meat. Then it let go, travelled
around on the oyster a. a snail does on log,
and took up a new position, where in two
weeks more it will strike oil. 1t bores hole
as large as a large pin makes, and then sucks
| tho oyster through It's anger is supposed to
| be the rough end of its tongue, which has a
| horny tip and sofapes ia a rotary way, around
and back, day and night 1t is born on the
| oyster she'll and its pointed shell grows to be
| half an inch long. The animal inside can
! pull itself round by its one foot, which lies
| fiat on its stomach, while its tongue or drill
| is at work. It exists every where in this part
of the world.
! Another enemy OF the oyster is the drum
fish, which cats young oysters, cracking the
shells like paper. Whether they swallow the
shells is not known. ~ J. Sun.
