DO CLAIMS WALK?

S@ VERY boy who spends his summers
lT in the country knows something
IL about fresh water clans. He has
found them abundant in every
stream and pond in his vicinity, and he
has seen collections of the shells on the
banks. or near by. where muskrats have
gathered for a social feast at midnight.
AS he grows older he will ponder deeply
upon the unselfishness which could
prompt and the self-control which could
enable the unpretentious muskrst to make
provision for the banquet and to share II
with his friends He has probably no.
ticed. too. that where a clam has perished
in the water the two shells commonly re-
mairs together, like the empty covers Of
an old book, while at the remains of
muskrats supper they are always cut
apart. rnlese the muskrats were fright
ened away before the meal was complet-
ed. These muskrat epicures learned long
ago how to open clam by cutting the
ligaturc along the back and the muscle
that holds the shell tightly together when
the clam shuts itself up.
Every such boy has seen. too. q long
line. or little furrow. in the sand. under
water, sometimes nearly straight. some
The San Francisco call., 1901-12-01

times In graceful curves. and has often
found, at one end. the clam that made 1t.
upright on the edge, half-buried in the
sand, but perfectly still and tightly closed.
1t was walking in the sand until the boy
came splashing along: then 1t shut up and
craftily looked like a clam. If 1t is left
alone and everything is quiet for a long
time It will begin to move. and the way II
moves Is one way Of walking.
The two shells of mussel or fresh wa
ter clam, are alike--that Is, the creature
is ,"symmetrical," at least externally. A
narrow line of tough. fieshy substance.
called the ligature. holds the shells to-
gether along the back. much as the leath-
er binding of book holds together the
two covers. The clam can open and close
his shell as he pleases. and when all is
quIet around him he changes from his un-
The San Francisco call., 1901-12-01

social, clamlike attitude toward the world
and begins to relax and expand little.
First, after opening his shell, he puts out
two fringelike pieces. behind and begins
to take good, long, full breaths again.
For each fringe he has a tube. or "ori-
fice,' in it. and through the lower tube
the clam draws in current of water
which he drives out through the upper
tube. So these tubes have been named
the incurrent orihce and the excurrent
orifice. They are not very hard words to
remember when we understand the direc-
ton of the movements OF water that they
stand for. Water contains air. and the
clam breathes this air. as fishes do and
some snails and other creatures that live
