Nautical Shoots.-The proposition to estab.
lish nautical school al this port with the
object Of elevatng the standard of searnanship
always finds many advocates but has never
yet been pressed TO a successful issue. In the
| American Merchant and Nautical Magazine"
for the present month, we find the project
discussed in new form, by all influential clti
zen. The plan here broached contemplates The
establishment Of Mariners Life Insurance Com
psny, rs a sort of adjunct or aid to the Nau.
tical School, portion of the surplus earnings
being relinqushed for the support Of the latter
while, on the other hand, ships Differed and
manned by graduates Of the school will be in
sured at a lower premium than vessels ma ed
by men Of questionable qualifications The
two organizations are thus combined to form
complete nautical eomponsating system,-each
department subservieDt 10 the other. The pro.
jector of this scheme believes that, in this way.
a perpStual aud constantly increasing income
can be secured for the maintenance of a nursery
for seamen, without the necessity for any appeal
to charity. No special attention has been di-
rectcd, in this country, to that class of risks
properly coming within the scope Of Mariners
field. which might be occupied for the nd:
vantage of saafaring men. So far as We
can judge, the project 10 possible, if prose.
cuted under the auspices Of the right kind Of
men.
Another plan having many points of re.
sen,bIance to the abeVe, is that entertained by
Capt J. H. Bell. practical .navigator and re-:
tired sea captain, whose cornmunicati6ns in eiu.

BIRDS NESTS CHEMICALLY CoSsIDERED.--,
The birds nests which have been recently In.
troduced as an article Of consumption into
Paris as general thing, are nothing more
than fsh-glue, although the genuine nests
can be purchased for about $40 per hundred
weight in the crude state. The chemist, Mr
Paysn, on submitting the Chinese moss or algs
of Java TO chemical ansIysis, obtained cleal
gelatine, far preferable to that obtained from
fish. Comparing il with the Chinese birds
nests, no found that the swallows which make
these nests must make use of this alga, work
ing over its gelstinous matter as our swallows
do in plastering up their nests. The birds
nest gslatipe can now be made directly from
