THE ROCK OYSTER.
II Is Found In Only Two Places, Spain
and Oregon.

II LIS Found In Only Two Places, Spain
and Oregon.
The rock oyster is found only on the
coasts of Spain and Of Oregon. At
Yaquina bay, a favorite summer re-
sort of Oregonians, digging rock oys-
tiers is a regular pastime. In the early
morning before the sun is high crowds
armed with picks and shovels wend
their way to the famous rock oyster
beds. The state geologist of Oregon
says of the rock oyster:
''Its scientific name is pholas. Like
all bivalves, it has right and left
valves, each having on its middle por-
ton triangular, rasplike valve. 1t is
this rasplike organ that enables 1t to
excavate and keep it's burrow open.
The rasp is not hard enough of itself
to cut the rock, but the hard quartz
sand that rests in the folds of the
rasp gradually wears away the stone
as fast as needed, corresponding with
the growth of the oyster. When
the eggs are hatched In the sea water
they look like small patches of jelly
fish and for several days swim about
with the outlines of their future shells
forming slowly about them. BY in
stinct each looks for Il vacant spot on
a rock surface and when found he
backs against IL and goes into bust
ness. They are preferred to all other
bivavles for the table, and, as they are
found only in one place on the coast
of Spain and at Yaquina, they are
an unparalleled notwithstanding

HORSESHOES.
The Three Lucky Elements That Are
Associated In Them.


The superstition that associates the
horseshoe with good luck is very old.
1t is said to prevail not only among
English speaking people, but in all the
races Of Europe and in southern Asia.
Antiquarians. are undecided whether
its origin has to do with the material
from which the horseshoe is made or
with its shape.
The ancients believed that iron as a
metal had great secret powers, and
they drove nails into their walls as Il
protection against pestilence. The
Arabs when overtaken by severe storms
in the desert cry out, "Iron, ironv'
which they think will propitiate the
evil spirits which have raised the
storm. The Scapdinavians have held
from time immemorial the idea that 1t
was lucky TO find piece Of iron.
AS regards the form of the horseshoe,
there is no doubt that among the an
clients the crescent form was much IA
vored as having lucky or preservative
powers. Ornaments were shaped in
this way to drive away evil spirits.
The Chinese have their tombs built in
a semicircular form, like horseshoe,
and the Moors use the same form in
their architecture.
1t may be remarked that in the my
thology OF Europe horses were also re-
garded as luck bearers, and supersti-
ton once supposed that horses hoof
placed under the bed would cure GER
tain complaints. The horseshoe there
fore may be said to unite within itself
three lucky elements-it is in the shape
of a crescent, it is made Of iron, and it
has been taken from horse.
