FACTS ABOUT OYSTERS.
The Different Varieties Number
Between Three and Four
Hundred.

1ut1uTeu.
The following interesting information
about oysters is from the YOUTHS Compan-
ion:
The oyster Is the earliest Of all travellers,
probably, for his travels begin before he is
Matched. The egg, or embryo. from which
the young oyster is developed. is provided
at first with so.called ellis or vibrating
hairy projection, u number of which give
the infant oyster SWIM movement
through the water.
This lively journey continues until the
little oyster strikes bed Of similar oys
,crs already formed, or else, II he is un-
fortunate enough. to find companions. n
rock or solid substance OF some kind
There the egg Of the oyster clings, devcl-
oping with those who come along AFTER
ward and find Il. until il is full grown.
As every female oyster lays from fifly TO
sixty thousand eggs in a season, 1t is not
surprising that It seems almost impossible
to exhaust the oyster beds. The consump-
,ion Of oysters is enormous. Immense
quantities are shipped from certain belts
along the Atlantic coast throughout eight
months Of the year, and yet the supply
seems never to come 10 an end.
We do not distinguish many different
kinds of oysters when We cat them, and
yet there are between three hundred and
fiily and four hundred varieties of oysters
in the world. Among the smallest kind
known is that which people Of England.
France and Germany usually eat--thc oys.
tiers dug in the ncighborhood Of Ostcnd,
Belgium. The largest is the horseshoe
oyster, which grows in the Pacific Ocean
and elsewhere. Ordinary oysters. Of choice
varieties. transplantci from the Atlantic
coast to the Pacific have been found to
develop great size, and to have lost
their flavor. so that they were scarcely
ca;ablc.
\ singular popularity OF the oyticr Of
Florida Is that they are commonly found
growing on trccs-not, indeed, upon the
branches Of the trees in the air, hut upon
the trunks and roots which extend into
the water along the creeks and inlets OF
the Florida coast.
When the tide falls the oysters clinging
to the trees are LEFT out of their proper
element for hours at time. but this docs
not interfere with their health or with
their multiplying almost beyond belief.
These Florida oysters are very small
and not very good to eat. They form in
the beds where they grow mass almost
as solid as masonry The early settlers Of
Florida built forts Of solid masses of oys.
tcrs as u defense against the Indians
The oysters on the coas, OF Florida were
formerly much larger. for fossil shell heaps
left by the Indians Of an early race, are
found along the coast. which are made up
for the most par, of very large oyster
shells. Grca, she'll heaps of the same sort
are found on the coast of Maine.
