Mussels Scarcer. The rapid decrease in the number of mussels, Once sb abundant in the rivers of Indiana, is so appreciable that it is now a subject of serious alarm. The demand for the shells of fresh water mussels for the manufacture of buttons bids fair to exterminate this shell fish in many localities in the Central West. The fresh water mussel of the Mississi i>pi basin is of the genus Unio margaritifera. There are several hundred species of mussels, many of which are found In Europe and many in this country. Some of the genus unio produce fine pearls and of these many valuable ones have been found by the pearl fishers of the Ohio and the lower Wabash.' It is well known that pearls which are a form of carbonate of lime, require light and air to retain their luster and when laid away in the dark for any length of time may not only become dim but

many fall into powder. Many of the pearls worn by the Romans were obtained in Britain. Suetonius says pearls were a chief inducement of the expedition of Julius Caesar to that country. They are still found in the mussels of Scotch and Welsh rivers. It is set forth that this bivalve mollusk, which abounds in the salt waters in Europe is? edible. Jo New England sea water mussels are eaten, but in many cases their use as food is followed by severe sickness. • ;
