FAcrs ABOUT oYsTrns

Some Very Curious Things About .
 Most Interesting Bfvalve.
 s The oyster is certainly most inter esting animal, , said the professor to . Washington Star reporter. gro begin with, it is ever so much older than man. and deserving on that ground of respect an even veneration Fossil shells of an- cestors of the oysters of to-day are found scattered throughout the world wherever ancient oceans had their shores millions of years ago. Curiously enough, where most other creatures on the earth have pro gresses in the scale of development the oyster is now just about what it was in shape and appearance in the most remote geological epoch, though it has taken the horse but fraction of the time from then to the present to develop from compara- lively small 6ve-toed beast to the noble animal we find it.
 "The notion so generally entertained, that the oyster has no sex, is mistake At the breeding season, in summer, the male and female oysters secrete and expel l into the water milky fluid filled with germs or eggs. The egg, once adrift, must perish unless it encounters male germ, ! in which case a young oyster comes into | being and swims about with it's little feel CTS quite actively until it comes into contact with rock or any clean and hard object. l To such an object it attaches itself. A sin l gle female oyster often produces as many as 60,000,000 eggs in season. Fortu- | nately, these eggs form the principal food of innumerable other creatures, else the oysters would very soon fill up the ocean | and thus flood the continents. There seems to be always in nature provision ! of this sort to prevent any animal from becoming too numerous. Even the slow. breeding elephant, as Harwin remarked l would, if left unchecked to multiply, sooI people the earth to the exclusion of all other animals.
 No sooner is the indo1escent oyster 1 fixed upon the stone than it begins tt
 form it's shell, which is made of limt
 chiefly, and starts in to grow. An oyster
 lives thirty years, and may be longer. It ii
 very nervous animal, and dies from { sudden jar, so that a loud thunder clal
 will instantly kill whole boat load
 Among the oysters foes are sea worm
 and mollusks, that make a business O
 boring through oyster shells. The larg spiral mollusks known by the names O
 'winkle' and sconch prey upon the oyster
 and crush it's shell by sheer mus
 cular power of the large foot b,
 which they grasp at. Most destructive O
 all the oysters enemies is the starfsh
 which swallow the younger oyster, shel
 and all, and after the soft parts are ab
 sorbed the shell is cast out of the stomach
 With big oyster the starfsh cannot appl,
 this method, so it grasps the unhappy bi
 valve in its five arms, and little by ittl
 breaks off the edges of the shell by tn
 muscles at the entrance of the starfish'
 stomach. When sufficient opening ha been effected, the starfish intrudes it mouth into the shell and eats the oyster

He Found Way to Heat the Bell

From the Chicago Tribune.l

From the Chicago Tribune.l
 A Kansas City street car conductor has found an easy way to beat the bell punch. He goes off to some secluded spot at night, notes the number indicated by the register, pulls the machine till it has counted off the entire 10, 1000 and began at one again, which he rings till the register indicates 100 less than when he began and stops. He is then in position to ring fares honestly all next day and be $5 ahead of the com pany at night. The only way now to beat the honest street car conductor is to make the counting capacity of the register 100,- 900, or handcuff him to some other honest man hired to watch him day and night

No Probability of Their Getting
 Caught-Another Wrinkle.
 Litchfeld correspondent writes: There seems to be no probability that the three swindlers who are said to have ob- tained the S5,000 from Timothy Jordan in Morris will be captured Two other gen. tlemen of wealth, both of them former residents of this town have had expert ence with the same sort of rascals but saw the game soon enough to save their money The modus operandi was so similar that il would almost seem as if it were the same gang of villains. In one of the cases in addition to the gold brick, and the yarn about the old uncle, the gold mine and the United States assayer, there was a novel feature introduced in the shape of Mexi. can miner who guarded the gold brick which was hidden in the woods. The scheme in this case didn't work because the proposed buyer of gold bricks didn't like the looks of the alleged United States official and proposed to have the brick tested elsewhere. It is to be hoped that the authorities will take some measures te trace the villains,
