Amy of these tones form harmony

circle on each side of the purple we
find its harmonies decreasing as we

circle, we approach its contrasting
colors, gradually getting moro pleas

THE OYSTERS GROWTH.
Each Overlapping Layer OF Shell Means o
Year of Age.

Each Overlapping Layer OF Shell Means o
Year of Age.
{, The oyster at the commencement of
Its career is. so. small that 2, COG, 600
would only occupy a square inch. In
six months each Individual oyster is
large enough TO cover half a crown,
and in twelve months u crown piece.
The oyster is its own architect, and the
shell grows as the fish. inside grows,
being nevertoo small.
1T also bears its age upon its back,
and it is as easy to tell thelage of an
oyster by looking at its shell as it is
that of horses by looking at their
teeth. Everyone who has handled an
oyster shell must have noticed the sue
cessive layers overlapping each other.
These are technically termed shots,
and each one marks years growth. SO
that by counting them the age of the
oyster can be determined.
Up to the time of its maturity-that
is, when four years of age-the shots
are regular and successive, but after
that time they become irregular and
are piled one upon another, so that
the shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen of which
each shell was nine inches thick, whence
they may be guessed to be more than
nine hundred years old. o.
One or two million oysters are pro-
drced from a single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oysterreating
animal. The starfish loves the oyster
and preys upon it increasingly. Ava
riety Of wheik is also very fond of
young oysters, to get atwhich he borcs
right through the shell and sucks the
fish up through the hole thus made. !
