quite shapely and its eyes, though
smaller than pinheads, plainly distin-

Prof. A. o. Billups, a naturalist Of

Branch two summers ago Mrs. Wendt
drank a glass of water from a natural
we'll and suffered from severe choking
spells for several months, until six

China's admission that the indemnity

China's regard for her obligations was

she would fail to meet them. The

Educntesi OYnfern

"a school for oysters" said a Phii-
adelphla dealer in fish, "is an insti-
tuition that you would swear could
not exist, for oysters are notorious
for their stupidity. 1t is, however,
a fact that there ATE many oystea
schools. An oysters intelligence II
limited, but still 1t has intelligence.
Years ago certain wise fish dealers
discovered that If you take an oyster
suddenly from its subaqueous bed ~
opens It's shell, whereupon the life
giving water inside 1t all escapes,
and the oyster dies But II you eye
pose an oyster to the air gradually,
lifting 1t out OF the water for few
minutes, and then returning 10
again, 1T gradually learns that to
keep its shell closed when out of the
water is the best thing for its healt tn.
These Investigators found that they
could take two oysters, one trained
and one unframed, and the trained
oyster, keeping its shell closed while
Out OF tne water, would live q long
time, while the unframed one, opens
ing its shell, would die in few
hours. Therefore, training schools
for oysters were established. The
schools are in appearance nothing
more than reservoirs full Of water,
Oysters are put in them, and the
water is drained off and then re-
turned again. 1t is kept off for .
few minutes at first, then for ten
minutes, then for half an hour, aud
SO on. Oysters In these schools learn
that they will live longest and keep
healthiest out of water If they hold
their shells tight shut. AS soon az
they learn this they are graduated,
and 20 out into the world.
