a STRANGE Rock pveIIer.

One Of the strangest creatures known
to science is the pholas, or boring
clam. When still very minute the ami
NAL bores into the sandstone lodges at
extreme low water, by means of its
sharp shell, which is replaced by Sc
cretions as it is worn away. It pene-
uates the rock to q depth of six or
eight inches and ho1lows out its bur-
rows as it increases in size. Shaped
roughly like a top, it could not leave
its rock dwelling even If it wished to
do so. For food it depends on the ami
malcuIes that float in sea water, which
1t SEXES by its long siphon, or tongue.
The pholas is in great demand at the
seaside resorts along the Pacific coast,
for its meat is very tender and makes
excellent soup. The CLAIMS are dis
lodged In great numbers from the
lodges by the use OF dynamite, al
though it is possible to obtain them
with pick or MISUNDERSTANDING.
