Artificial oysters are now manufactured in large quantities by several oyster factories recently established in the neighborhood of Bordeaux. The new product, the making of which is kept a secret from the uninitiated, imitates the real oyster very perfectly in point of appearance, and the main difficulty of the business, the fixing of the spurious product to the oyster shell, upon which it takes the place vacated by its prototype, is said to have recently been got over with perfect success. It is urged that all who eat real oysters should carry away and destroy their shells, thus preventing them from being pressed into service of this new alimentary fraud. To imitate oyster shells would be too costly a process, and if all the shells of the favorite bivalve could be kept out of reach of the oyster makers the dishonest trade would receive its death blow.
But as that is an unattainable result, it is to be feared that lovers of oysters have an uncomfortable prospect before them.
