HOW THE LOBSTER THROWS OFF ITS SHELL.
Like all Crns tacea, The lobster throws off its
she'll annually, and that so perfectly, that the
discarded carapace, with all its feet and feel
ers, bears startling resemb blance To perfect t
crayfsh. When we consider the hardness OF
its shelly coat, and the ex raordinary forms it
specially the long claws terminat-
Ing III slender arms-We are Inclined TO ask
ourselves, in great surprise, how the ami
NAL sets abou freeing itself from such fetters
Suppose, then, that describe the process in a
few words, such as 1t has been observed in the
preserving tanks. As soon as the shelling
season approaches, in autumn, the lobster re-
1ires into Qa,et corner and fasts tor some
days. The old shell then becomes grad dually
loosened, and new and soft cuticle forms

THE WENTWORTH GUN.-The English pa
pers con tain quite lengthy reports Of the recent
trials of the Whtworth gun, said to be supe-
rior in many ways to that of Sir VIM. Arm
strong. With a 3-pounder, and an elevation
OF 35 deg, loaded with OF. of powoer, the first
shot touched the ground at 9,6S9 yards distance
more than 4 miles-and only 81 yards to the
right OF the true line. The second lodged in
the sand, at 9,6i5 yards, and 81 yards TO the
right Of the mark With an elevation of only
33 deg, Il range of 9,5i7 yards was obLained, the
shot falling only 81 yards TO the right of the
mark. The greatest range ever reached by any
Armstrong gun was 9,l3U yards and this with
a 3d. FOUNDER, fired with 6-pound charge, at
an elevation of IS deg. Mr.. WhitwoI IN claims
that his guns also possess greater durability
than any other. From one OF them upwards
of 1900 shots have been fired, chiefly al high eie
vations, without the gun exhibiting any inju-
ry or sign of wear. The material used in the
manufacture is homogeneous iron. The pow
der used Is contained in a tin cartridge Case,
about seven inches leng, and at the end W hch
meets the shot is a small lump OF grease
which, being melted by the explosion, lubrl
Gates the barrel from end To end. 1t is there
fore never necessary to use sponge, the gun
at the end of days firing being as clean and
as bright as if ii had not been used at all.

SUPPOSED SLAvER.-The brigantine Vir-
ginian, Strom, master from Norfolk, bound to
Rio Congo, with u cargo consisting of seventy
five barrels of rice, thirty barrels of bread,
seventy nine water butts or leagures, and a
very large quantity of wood, struck on the
rocks to the north of the Bermuda Islands on
hours was got off by the boats from the shore
and conveyed into Murray's anchorage.
letter says:
The captain having sent a boat and four
hands on shore Immediately on striking, one
OF the same, in a conversation with the mate
of another vessel, stated that on the previous
voyage she had been seized while waiting 10
run cargo of slaves, and handed over TO the
American au ulhorities, and from the converse
ton gave the impression that she was then
hound on Il similar voyage. Information hav-
ing been laid before the senior naval officer
the station of the foregoing, he dispatched the
gunboaL Skipjack, Commander Murray, TO
ascert tain the truth OF the same. That officer,
on reaching the vessel, found so maay suspi-
cious evidences as induced him to place
guard on board until the vessel came into
port; the captain and mate both being absent
ut the time, and no one being able TO furnish
him with any Information except Brazilian
passenger, who appeared to know more Than 4
passenger rs generally supposed To know. On
the following day Commander Murray, in the
presence OF the Uuited States Consul, made a
search in the hold Of the vessel, but could not
succeed in finding any convlctlng evidence
He then laid the matter before the Governor,
who Immediately communicated with the
ConsuI-the result of which was the removal
of The guard. This vessel was sent home, in
March last, by The United States ship Ports
mouth, but evidence was then wanting for
conviction. The Court, however, justified the
seizure and detention. The salvage Will be
about $500, and she awaits funds from Ameri-
ca 10 disburse the same.

SAW Two SUNSETS IN ONE DAY.-One OF
the finest sights Professor Steiner, the 8ro-
naut, says he ever saw, was the view he mad
of two sunsets, while on his balloon trip from
Milwaukee on the 5th inst He was al a GER
Tain altitude the first time, when he saw the
sun 20 down upon Lake Michigan, and then
descended to the waters OF tie lake After
wards, he commenced rising very rapidly, and
soon reached such an altitude that the fiery
orb again began TO rise, apparently, from the
Western waters, and ere long he was once
more in full sunlight. Then, as he descended
again. the sun sank beneath the waters a
second time, thus affording two sunset views
in a single day The Professor says, as the
sun appeared to rise the second time IL was
one of the finest visions he ever witnessed, and
the spectacle was Of the most magnificent de-
s:ription.
