the great facilities for travelling at the present
day in America, compared with the state of

great in Europe as in the United States, al

vance Of one 50 recently settled as the United
Statos In 1918 there was not railroad in
Europe, with the exception of the tram roads
used in connection with the coal l-mines, nor
was there, if my memory serves me, on any Of
its waters, salt or fresh, such thing as a steam
vessel of any dimensions, with the exception

York to Albany III the same way-a slow and

SINGING SHELLs.-Mr. Taylor, the
tourist, when at Cuthculoa, in Ceylon,
on going at night on a lake, near the
fort, was struck by a loud musical noise
proceeding from the bottom of the
water. it wascaused, as is supposed, by
multitudes of some animals inhabi,inc
sheils-at least the natives call them
singing shells. The sounds are like
those of an accordeon, or aolian harp,
vibrating notes and pitched in different
keys. A snail, abundant in Corfu, if
irritated by a touch with piece of straw
will emit distinctly audible sound in a
querulous tone. and which it frequently
repeats If touched.
