EDUCATED OYSTERS.

"As senseless as an oyster" is an
every day saying, yet the oyster has an
amount of intelligence little to be ex.

ganization. Dicquemase assures US
that oysters taken from q depth never
uncovered by the sea, open their
shells. lose the water within and per.
ish; but oysters taken from the same
place and depth. il kept in reservoirs.
where they are occasionally left un-
covered for short time and otherwise
incommoded. learn to keep their shells
shut, and then live for q much longer
time when taken out of the water.
First Darwin and then ROmanes noted
the above ss = wonderful evidence OF
intelligence in = mollusk. The fact is
turned to advantage in the so-called
''oyster schools" of France. The dis.
tsnce from the coast to Paris being
too great for the newly dredged oys-
ters to travel without opening their
shells, they are first taught In the
schools to bear . longer and longer ex-
.posure to the air without gaping. and,
when their education in this respect is
completed, they are sent on their
journey to the metropolis. where they
arrive with closed shells and in .
healthy condition.
Some Of the moliusks possess tho
sense of direction in . marked degree,
being able to find their way home from
what must be, to them, great dis
tancea For instance, the limpet. after

variably return to its home on some

this faculty, and have even seen the
blind beetles Of Mammoth cave return
to their domiciles beneath some log of
wood or block of stone after . journey
of fifty feet or more. This indicates
beyond q shadow Of q doubt that these
creatures possess memory and con.
scious determination, coincidently. .
