THE STORY OF THE OYSTER. The Ufe history of the oyster {s in- teresting Jn many ways, and particular- 3) tts happy knack of turning calami- ties Into pearls of great price. The oyster does this in the most natural » in the world. Whenever an enemy breaks through to steal, stabs it in the dark or injures it in any fashion, the bivalve covers the injury over with the beautiful pearl which we so much ad- mire, to be afterward worn as a medal ©n iis rough coat. The Chinese, by in- ecrting small metal images between the shelis of living oysters, employ them to ccat thes over with mother of pearl. Any foreign material introduced be- tween the shells, if it cannot be re- jected, ts soon treated in this way; in- deed, so quickly that a small fish has been known to iorm the nucleus of a pearl. In spring the oyster is found to con- tain a large quantity of a milk-white fiuid, which under the microscope is shown to be its almost invisible eggs. Although numbering about a million, they remain within the animal until fintched, when the tiny oysters are sent abroad in such numbers that they cloud the water like a mist, At this stage they are expert swimmers and alto- gether different from thelr parent In babits and appearance, Imagine a rest- less speck of soft matter with swimming Rppliances and you have a tolerable no- on of an oyater's appearance in early life. After awhile the swimmerets are Giscarded, or, rather, absorbed, and in- Btead of roving through the sea the spat take up thelr permanent position on its bottom. At the age of two weeks they are no bigger than a pin-head, but Brow to the size of a pea in three months and reagh their prime in about five years. ‘The young oysters are especially sub- ject to the attacks of foes, and it is hopeless attempting to rear them in an exposed place where there are currents, as they will be carried to sea or cast upon rock and sand and so perish, Arti- 1 beds of various kinds have been tried—such as stones piled together, stakes driven into the ground and boards laid thereon—but nothing Is found to answer so well as tiles covered with cement, This gives a suitable sur- face, with the advantage that the ce- ment 4s unfayorable to’ the growth of seaweeds. The adult oyster might be thought impervious to the assaults of marine enemies, shut up as it is within the massive walls of its fortress, yet, strangely enough, It often becomes the victim of such a comparatively soft fel- low as the starfsh. Although the stur- fish prefers spat, which can be swal- lowed without much difficutly, he never hesitates about entering on a life and death struggle with a full-grown oyster, ‘The starfish embraces the oyster in his arms, and when he finds that his victim cannot be taken into his stomach he proceeds to put his stomach into his victim. It 1s supposed that he pours a stupefying fluid into the oyster at the same time, for, without apparent re- sistance, he accomplishes his object. Oysters are found nearly all over the world, some of other countries growing to be giants nearly a foot broad. They vary in quality as much as they do in size, British oyster are at least equal to any other, and the Romans, who were among the best judges, gave the highest character to those of Rutu- pieae, or Richborough, on the coast of Kent. THE KEEPING OF It says much for the integrity of Gov- ! ernment officials that all knowledge of tour recent important treaty with Japan | ‘was successfully withheld from foreign ations until the compact had been ac- | tually sealed, but the great care exer- elsed in guarding a diplomatic secret renders a premature announcement very fare indeed, says Tit-Bits. No government secret when first born fs ever committed to paper, except on the rare occasions when minutes of a Cabinet meeting are taken and for- warded to the Bovereign, As a rule, our Ministers meet and‘transact busi- ness without any one being the wiser, for no official of any kind is allowed to e oresent. Onee the Government has decided upon an important piece of foreign polloy, It has to be transmitted to our reomesentative abroad, and for the first sane the secret 1s put in writing In the Yorm of unintelligible cipher, the key of which js already in the hands of our Ambassador, The men who draw up the intricate cipher codes are reliable oMcials specially employed by the Gov- ernment, and they often obtain from £500 to £700 for @ single code, ‘The despatch having been prepared, it 1s given into the care of a Kin; messenger, who wears attached to his person @ bag with a secret lock, To this lock the ‘e@ only two keys; one in the possession of the Foreign Office and the other retained by our Ambassador, who must unlock the bag himseif or instruct hia secretary to do so.
