SHELLFISH LANGUAGE.
Curious Clicking sounds Heard on
the Water at Night.

Most Seamen will tell OF curious click
ing sounds heard on calm nights at sea.
and the origin of the noise seems so al
together unaccOuntable that it has Of
ten created some alarm among super
sttious fishermen.
a distinguished naturalist made a
careful study of the sounds on many
occasions and found that it was not
sustained note, but made up of q multi
tude of tiny ones. each clear and dis
treble down to n bass. When the ear
was applied to the gunwale of the boat
the sound grew more intense. and in
some places as the boat moved on it
could not be heard at all.
On other occasions the sounds reSem-
bled the tOlling of bells. the booming of
guns and the notes of an Polian harp.
For long time he was unable to
trace the cause, but at length discOv-
cred that the sounds were made by
shellfsh. hundreds of them opening
their shells and closing them with
sharp snaps. The noise. partly muffled
by the water. sounded indescribably
weird. He was finally led to the CON
clusiOn that as the shellfish made the
sounds they probably had some mean
ing and that the clicks might possibly
be a warning OF danger when the shall
low water was disturbed 10y the boat.
