Oysters and Artificial Teeth.

A dentist of Athens, Ga., has at his office a curiosity in the way of oysters and artificial teeth. The teeth had evidently been lost by someone on board a ship or someone who had been drowned. The oysters hail formed around the teeth and the formation is perfect. A dredging boat found the shell with the teeth attached, and the man who found them sold them for $20., The Smithsonian Institution is now seeking to purchase them, and offers a good price.
