his way down, the diver sees sharks Of enormous
| dimensions, which seem afraid Of the curious
monster thus intrudlug on their domain. The
sharks are never seen at the bottom; they keep
their distsncs,b but the small ey at the bottom
are much more sociable. These swim, around the
diver In the most Indifferent manner, and with q
curiosity truly feminine, insert their noses IN

tlculsr amusement Is to pry into the glass eyes,
and at imest they areas troublesome as the mos

mnging about the. ship, the captain discovered
several bottles OF Rhine wine and ale, a bottle OF
which might have been seen la good preservation
q few days ago at the store. OF Mr.. E. E.. Bedford
In King street. he also brought up q globular
brass lamp and several metal meuntings from
ofacer,s swords. The captain has also in his pos.
session a massive jaw bone. 1t is evidently the
lower ma1illary Of a man; but its. size aud the
strength OF the teeth are wonderful. The cause
ia probably TO be found in the diet Of sailors. SEA
biscuit during the war was not easily indented,
and continual practice upon this substance has
no doubt developed the teeth and jaws to an I'M
natural size and strength. This is In strict &C.
%cordsnce Rith the doctrine OF Darwin. The

BE4ARHlstt CohdbENos.-A the Pope's
jubilee, lately held In this City, the Hon. II. P.
O'Connor, in, olosinghls address, said give will
.tres Mrsthe recollection Of This event and the
.slgnsl halia4ty 6fis celebtnhon. and carry q In:
our memories down the vale OF life; but dearer
than the memory OF ali these things is the refec-
tlon that there Is still left within US that mystic
vant OF Ms soaa-Tsish. which surpasseth all
these trIumphs, and with q holy lie binds US In
pacific, contented allegiance to the throne OF
Peter:n Immediately there flashed out from the
walls of the ruined Cathedral, like q vision, a col.
lossal figure Of FATrHAa female In brilliant robes
OF white, having her hands claaped and her soft
eyes raised and fixed intently upon q large white
cross planted upon a rock The enecs upon that
dense crowd Of human beings which gathered
around the vision was electric: for some time not
asouud was heard; sl were looking In amaze

means OF grand blnoptra 1anteros In the sknful
hands Of SCIENCE; IL was q most wonderful and
apprepslate contribution for the occasion. The
figure Of Faith was twenty-one feet In heighth,
with a form and face angelic; she cross was twen-
ty.three feet, and appeared as II frosted with crys-
tails; the illuminated disc forty,eightfeet In diam.
eter, and was produced by the Drummond light.
The professor anc his assistant In Charge OF The
hnterns did not hear Mr.. o,Gcnt0f's address, The
distance being too great; and It Is very certain the
speaker never anticipated SO remarkable and 80
beautiful an illustration at the close Of his ad-
dress. We sincerely hope that Professor q. will
afford the citizens another opportunity OF seeing
