Rings on Oyster Shells.

A popular theory about rings on an
oyster shell being an indication of It's
age is not supported By the careful in
vestigation Of Miss Ann l.. Massey. who
tested specimens from the oyster sta
ton at Ardfry. ut the head of Galway
bay. 1t has been supposed by many
that each ring, or group, on the oysters
deep valve stood for a years growth.
But Miss Massey says that this deduc-
ton IS not reliable. After a patient
scrutiny of over COO samples of various
ages, from eighteen months TO six
years she says: IN oyster Of eight.
cen months or two summers appears
to possess ut least two rings, but may
have rs many as five. One of three
summers has at least two rings and
may have six. A four-ycar-old oyster
may have only three rings or may pos
sess seven or eight London Mail.

The usual type of arctic weather Is
a dense. lung clogging fog. with cold
that is enough to freeze a CLOWNS
