Uncle Ruy's Corner

When oysters get ready to settle
down., they are covered in part
with shells. but they are very tinv.
Often they are only one TWENTY
fifth of an inch wide!
Sinking to the bottom of the sea
they may find a stone or other
solid object as a place of anchor.
In six months the European oyster
Is about the size of a dime. In
Two years it may be two inches
wide. and in the third year it is
likely to add another inch to its
width. In later years it grows more
slowly.
Many animals with shells throw
them of when their bodies get too
large. The oyster does not do that.
From its body it sends out a thick
Juice which hardens and adds to
the size of the shell Some Euro
pean oysters add a new fringe of
shell each spring and autumn. The
age of such oysters may be told
by counting the fringe markings
on the shell.
Oysters found on the Atlantic
coasts Of Canada and the United
States sometimes grow to a width of
from four to six inches.
An oyster six inches wide Is in
deed a good size, but it is far from
being the largest in the world.
II we want to find oysters which
are really big. We can 20 to the
Pacific and Indian oceans. In the
Pacific are giant Japanese" oys-
tiers which grow to be as wide as
dinner plates.
Most oysters live at depths of
from 18 to 100 feet. Yet certain
kinds live in the deep sea, and have
been dredged from places which
are close to mile deep.
Pearl oysters are the ones which
most often contain pearls. The wa
ters around the island of Ceylon
have many OF them. They also are
found in large numbers in the Per-
sian gulf, and OF the northern and
western coasts of Australia. Pearl
divers bring them up in the Gulf
OF California. and some are found
around the West Indies.
The "oyster fluke" is one Of the
enemies of oysters. 1t is a tiny
worm which gets into the body OF
an oyster and causes trouble there.
So far as we think of pearls, we
may be glad that oysters have these
enemies. 1t seems clear that they
are among the objects which make
pearls form in oysters.
