THE OYSTER IS CLEANLY.
lint ltleeps the llouea T”, by 5 Very
Peculiar tlvstnm.
The oyster la a particularly cleanly
creature so far as his own person is con-
cerned. His notions of house-keeping.
however, are not such as would be likely
to commend him to the favor of a New
England housewife. He does not like
dirt. but his way of cleaning house is to
paint the dirt over instead of sweeping
it out. However, he is not to blame for
that. He does the best be can to keep
clean with the resources at command.
An illustration of his method, which
is rather remarkable. may be seen at
some of the oyster counters just now.
It is found particularly in Rockaway
oysters. lathe hollow of the shells in
many instances are dark blotches the
size of a finger nail,which look not unlike
ablood blister. These spots seem to be
ll discloration in the shell. The nacreous
surfsceie unbroken over them. though
the black or dark blue places bulge sllght~
Iy above the surrounding white shell.
Touch these spots with a fork and they
are easily broken into. showing a layer
of shell of tissue paper thinness covering
smalimaseee of mud, which may be
scraped away until.beneatb, the ordinary
white oyster shell is reached.
The explanation of this phenomenon
is found in the weather of last winter.
There wasa great storm off the south
shore of Long island, which destroyed
many of the Ruckaway oyster beds
by filling them in with mud till the
oysters were smothered and by tearing
the creatures from their fsstcnings-
Many other beds which were not des.
troycd were somewhat disturbed by
the waves. That is the trouble with
some of the Rockaways seen now in
the market. The mud forced itself
into their mouths and between the
shell and their delicate membranes.
If therein anything an oyster dislikes
it is sand and grit irritating his tender
skin. It makes him feel as badly as a
man does witba cinder under his eye-
lid. Heis utterly unable to eject the
troublesome substance, so he builds
over it a smooth layer of shell.and if
he is left long enough undisturbed be
will have buried it beyond sight in the
wall of his house. The mishap of last
season is too recent for him to have
done that, so he is found with the mud
just covered with a coating of nacroous
paint.
His method in this case is exactly the
screens that followed by him in making
spearl. A bit of sund gets in the folds
of his body where he cannot get it out
and he covers it with an ever thickening
layer of users that it may not cut and
annoy him. If it is not in contact with
the shell it lsfound aepberical body; if
it touches the shell it is gradually cov-
ered in with its growth and is so run»
dered harmless.——New York Tribune.
