GrONE OP THE WONDERS OF THE

" -O4NE Ot IttE WONDERS OF THE
present generation, is the laying and accomplishing
the Telegraph across the great Atlantic Ocean, Pins
truly is wonderful thng-lhe laying of this Cable on
The bed or bottom Of the Ocean, circumstance that
but lew can understand many suppose the bottom Of
the Atlantic Ocean Is level and smooth the house
i0Or; yet such is not the case. Thc bottom of the
Ocean rs described by Commander Brrryman in his
thIrtyilVe soundngs Tor the depth Of it, shows us it is
equally as rough aud uneven the land of our
great country There is depression Of the land in
The Oceans bottom, the space Of seventy miles of
ume thousand feet 2OG0 feet deeper than the eleva-
tOn Of The Sea- There is 40 current on the bottom of
The Ocean; IL is believed to be very quiet, and as
prODt Ci his there is no mud or sand The bottom of
the Ocean to great extent Is composed of beds ofthr
most minute possible Shells, some small as tc be
scarcely visible 10 the naked eye, and Of such deli
cate and beautiful structure, apparently kindred 10
To those microscopic shells, that form sume of our
chaIks and marbles Had Commander Berrynan IN
making his sOundIngs for the bCllOm of the Ocean,
Drawn up with his lines, some of those long legged
winter Boots that am sc ling at 81 IS pair or some
OF those Ladies high-hee Black Caters suCh as am
selling Or 81 par, or even pair of those Gents line
Boots, such am selling for 81 IS d pair all fresh
stuck al That, what noise II would have made this
earthly ba-the specimens TO which haV ing been al
luded TO as having been obtained from the bed bot
tom OF the Ocean; among them FOramnifera of vari-
Gus kinds are abundant, FOramnlera is n famiIy of
very minute shells, consisting OF one or more apart
menis or chambers united 10y large number OF holes
or little openings aud OF different sizes and shapes
Ii may he generally interesting 10 know that FOrmi.

smallest OF anlnals IN The scale of existence Also
DaiOmacee4 regarded by most of the Nalurasts as

This plant consists O single cells and indesrucIible

nshed with gclailnus stalk, winch supports several
branches like small shrub. The worst storms of the
sea are ca culaiedi the waves do not run higher
than 80 feet above the level of water nor does The
depression OF the waves go lower down than about 80
iee below The level OF tue sea- therefore, the bolton
OF the Ocean ls 80 quiet and undsturbed from the
ton OF the water, that scarcely any of these small
Shells comparatively speaking, are mi Ired broken
by friction or rubbing together ;und FLANlGEN comes
