REFUSE OYSTER SHELLS.
Maryland Foots Up 100000 Tons Dur
Ing This Century,

The waters of Maryland produce one
third of the total supply in the world.
II yields twice as many of the luscious
bivalves as are grown IN all foreign
countries combined. During the pres
ent century it has put on the market
400,000,O00 bushels Of the toothsome
mollusks. These have sold for the
enormous sum of 25O,OOO,OOO. Almost
all Of this country is dependent for the
abundance and cheapness of this edi-
ble on the supply of the Chesapeake.
From here also come very nearly all the
oysters used for canning. In fact, the
output of this industry in Maryland
is equal to one-sixth of all the fisheries
Of the United States put together.
The quantity of oyster shells landed
upon the shores of Maryland during
the last century have been reckoned at
100000 tons. Until very lately the
canning firms have had much trouble in
getting rid of the shells, having to pay,
in fact, for the removal of all that they
could not give away. Recently, how
ever, they have been able to sell them.
They are now shipped TO all parts Of the
country and are utilized variously for
roads, for lime and employed in making
coal gas. They have also been found to
serve almost as well as stone in the man
ufacture of special grades of iron for
railway beds. Cultivators of oysters
also employ them, having found that
they afford suitable surfaces for young
oysters 10 attach themselves to. They
are likewise used to some extent as
chicken food. They are very good for
hens, the shells of eggs being largely
made of them. The trade received $25,-
900 in single year for the empty shells.
Starfshes are the oysters worst
enemy. Other animals the young BIZ
valves have to guard against are crabs
and boring snails. They are also in
danger of being stifed by mud. In Pa
cific waters stingrays are their most
dreaded foes. The little crab that lives
in the shell of the oyster has always ex-
cited much interest. 1t is found in
about five per cent. of the bivalves. It
is sort of parasite of the oyster, whose
shell protects it and whose food snp-
ports it.-Philadelphia Times.
