VERSATILE OYSTER CHANGES SEX
SO Often he WORRIES SCIENTIST

oysters existence is usually a shut-in
one, yet there is one oyster, hailing
from the River Blackwater, near Col
chester, England, who has seen much
of life.
This fact is vouched for by DR.. j. H
Orion, a well-known scientist of West
Mersea. He found a male oyster~yin
June, 1921, and kept it even going so
far as to give it the pet name of oliver
being, OF course, unaware of the
curious twist in the creatures nature
Young Oliver, according to a letter
written by DR.. Orion to the British
Medical Journal was a happy. con-
tented, affectionate little biva1ve until
July 3, 1922. On that day DR.. orion
found that Oliver had presented him
with thousands, of young oyster chill
dren.

that there was not sufficient care ex-
ercised over the children during the
war owing to the absence of the faith
ers on active service, and their neg
lect at schools due to the understaff-

The education authorities of London
have of late been puzzled by the alb
n ormality of many of the children
about fourteen years and their ten
dency to crime. A few months ago
they started a psychological depart

Three times as many boys girls

But the father was at wssr, and the
