The story of the Shells.

The lectures on snell fish, prepared by
Philip Z. Carpenter, B. A. of Warrington,
England, for the Smithsonian Institute, are
thus beautifully introduced:
Who has not admired the beauty of shells?
the rich luster of the cowries; the glossy
polish of tbe olives; the brilliant painting of
the cones; the varied ayers of the canoes:
The exquisite narcre of mother.of.pearl$
Who has not listened to the mysterious
"souud of the sea" in The whelks and hel.
NETS, or wondered at the many chambers of
the nautilus? What child ever went to the
sea-shOre without picking up shells; or what
lady ever spurned them as ornaments of her
parlor? Shells are at once the attraction of
the untutored savage, the delight of the re.
fined artist, the wonder Of the phiOsophc
zoOlogist, and the most valued treasures of
the geologist They adorn the sands of sea
girt isles and continents now; and they form
the earliest footprints of the sands of time"
in the history of our globe. The astrono-
mer, wandering through boandless space
with the graudest researches of bis intellect
aud The most subtle workings of his analy-
sis, may imagine, indeed, the history of past
time and speculate on the formation of
globes; but his science presents us with no
records of the past. But the q ologist. af-
ter watching the ebb of the ocean tide, ex-
amines into the soil on the surface of the
earth aud finds in it book Of chronicles,
the letters of which are not unknown hier-
Oglyphics, but familiar shells. He writes
the history of each species, antedating by
millions of years the fret appearance of
man upon the planet, the abrasion of the
Mississippi Valley, or the roar of the Mag
ara at Queenston Higbts. He searches
deeper aud deeper into the rocky crust of
the globe. still finding the same types in
older characters AS be climbs the rocks
Of Trenton or Montmorencj, he treads on
the tide-ripples, the rain drops, the trails of
living creatures in Ihe ancient Silnrian sea.
which he iuterprets by the rosetta stone of
Chelsea Beach or Charleston Harbor; and
as he reverently unlocks the dark recesses
which contain the traditions of the early
ages, between the dead igneOus rocks and
the oceanic deposits which intomb the re-
mains of life, the first objects which meet

LIQUID FIRE AS WEAPON OF War;
Some experiments were recently tried at
the Washington Navy Yard with an appa
ratus for the election Of liquid fire, which
to all intents and purposes is the famed
Greek fire revived, aud the secret of which
has been lost. The chemical composition
Of this fire may not be the same, but its ef
fects are as terrible as those attributed to
the inextinguishabe fire of the Greeks. The
composition aud the apparatus for ejecing
il are inventions of Prot. B. +. Gree0Ough.
who. though for many years nearly blind,
has,pursued bis chemical investigations with
uuabated zeal, until he has produced what
promises to be a terrible auxiliary in war
fare. The experiments were made under
the direction of board, consisting Of Capt.
q. f. Fox. Assistant Secretary of the Ma
Wy; Capt. Dahlgren, Capt. Wainwright and
Lieut.. Badger. A target was erected upon
a platform fifty feet long by thirty feet
wide, the target being made of solid oak
timber three feet in thickness. The fluid
was elected in an inert state from pipe of
S-l6th of an inch in diameter, and was
thrown some thirty TO fifty yards before it
reached The target. At distance Of sew
eral feet from the nozzle of the pipe the
fluid ignited, expanding TO diameter of
two feet, with an intense combustion which
covered the target and the platform with
liquid fire. The fire was apparently mex
tinguishable, burning readily on the water,
and consuming the target. IL emitted dense
fumes and smoke which darkened the at.
mosphere and would have sufocated any
human being who had come within its inau-
ence. The experiment was quite success
ful. Experiments have also been made
with shells filled with this liquid, and with
great success. The composition, the secret
of which is only known to the inventor.
promises TO be very effective auxiliary of
war.

A BATTLE RELIC oIDENTTFIED.-The Boston
Journal of Zee. 10th, says.
A few days since we mentioned that a
locket containing two miniatures. which
was found upon the body of a soldier taken
from the Potomac at Balls Bluff bad be, d
placed n the window Of Messrs. Sbreve,
Stanwood g. Co. Many of the passers-by
have stopped to look at it, and on Friday
it was recognized by Mr.. Marsh, messenger
of Fiske & Co.'S express, as being the like
ness of John Kirchner, Of Clinton, a men,
ber of Company G Of The Massachusetts,
Fifteenth Regiment. He called for the lock
ct, and on showing it to Mrs. Krchner, she
instantly recognized il as one her husband
bad carried with him, the other miniature
being of herself. Kirchner was 81 years of
ege, and leaves q wife and one infant child,
born few days before the battle in which
its father was killed. The lOcket was found
on the body of the deceased near Long
Bridge, about two weeks after the battle,
and was sent TO New York by the reporter
of Harper's Weekly, and subsequently for
warded ny bis direction to Gov. Andrews
for Identification.

MAZATLAN NOT CKADED.-We are ip-
formed by gentleman who arrived by the
steamer Panama from Mazatlan, says the
Alta, that the item ia reference TO the
blockade of that port by the British, haa
been reported incorrectly. The facts Of the
case are simply these: Captain Graham, Of
ii. B. NJ. ship Mutne, while going ashore In
bis boat, was booted at and bis flag derided
by portion of the Mexican troops on board
The steamer Anahuac, which had been lying
at ahchor in the inner harbor, awaiting the
pleasure of Governor Vega to proceed to
San Bias, whittier the rest Of the contingent
of 500 men had gone q few days previous
in the Mexican vessels Ewing and Liberate.
Capt. Graham proceeded to the British
Consulate, and from thence sent message
to Governor Vega, demanding an apology
for the insult TO his flag, and that until 1t
was made, the Anahuac, with the troops on
board, could not go to sea. The Mexican
authorities, with that happy faculty they 80
pre-eminently possess Of making muddle
of the simplest things, tried to give more
Importance to the matter than it really de-
served, and delayed making the apology
until after the sailing Of the Panama. 80 az
to get a reputation for pluck in California.
but the little steamer did not go within
haling distance of the Mutne. The apol.
ogy has been made long since, and Captain
Graham was sustained in his action by ey
cry foreigner in Mazatlan, as had he not re-
sented the conduct Of the rowdy soldiery H.
this instance, no white man in Mazatla7
would have been safe from their insults.

RAIN STORMS IN CALIFORNIA. Mr.. Alexan-
der S. Taylor, 10 a recent article on the raj
ny seasons in California, says that these
immense rain storms seem TO return abont
every twenty-five or twenty.eeven years,
with storms of only medium severity at
the expiration Of every ten years, by way
of compromise. The first wet winter. in
California, of which we have authentic ac-
count. is that mentioned 10 Cabrillo's voy-
age-l54S 40. In 1923 occurred another
tremendous rain storm. and again in 1872.
In lS24-25, 80 33, and 10 1912, there were
still greater foods, and in l848 40 very
heavy falls of rain and snow. In 1852 the
rains we're heavy, since when they have
been comparatively light until the recent
freshet, which seems to have renewed the
pluvial glories of the by gone time.

EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD ON THE CHURCHES
1t is said that 10 the general deprivation
attendant upon the floods, the churches have
not escaped. Church edi6ces, parsonages,
and grounds. have been injured. and in
many cases wholly destroyed, while the
damages sustained by parishoners have
prevented them. in many instances, from
exercising that liberality which they would
otherwise have manifested. The Christian
Advocate says that in frequent cases minis
ters have been cut off from the opportunity
to labor and the means Of support to them
selves and families. Many may be obliged,
for the time, to adopt some secular employ
ment. The case is a severe one, as clergy.
men are usually unified, by the nature of
their studies, for the rougher pursuits of
life.

HORRIBLE CRuELTY.-Some weeks since
John Kelan, ii years of age, was sent ~
from the Industrial School to work on the
farm of John Dixon, at San Rafeal' Last
week news came TO the Directors
of the School that the boy was IL
treated; they wrote up concerning the mat
ter, and their fears were confirmed. They
sent Immediately for the boy, but Mr.. DIX
on refused to give him up, and Chief Burke
dispatched officer Bovee with instructions
TO bring the boy back at all hazards. He
returned with bis charge yesterday. Tbe
youth has been horrible treated. His feet
are frost-bitten, and bis body is covered
with bruises where be has been beaten.
During the recent food be was sent to take
care Of the sheep, and was told that be

TO The Farmers Of MARYLAND.

TsN1IE undersigned having reason to believe
Il that certain commission merchants Of

the amended law being for their protection,
and reducing the fee Tor Weighing and In
