A CHAPTER OF suBrERocEAN1c WONDERS

Forest and Stream has comuunica-
ton from Com. Beardslee, commanding the
steamer Blue Light, assisted by Prof.
virrill, of Yale College, from which we
copy the following passage:
Cape Cod is dividing line upon our
coast. South of it one class of creatures
are found in profusion, but the qaohog clam

and worms, and the oyster have not existed,
or, having existed, have become extinct
north of this line, except in a very few
localities. A live Calista comvexa Ia

upset at once the opinion held till then that
it was extinct 80 far north. Quohog SHELLS
in plenty we find in ancient Indian shell
mounds, which dot every slope of the
island, showing that once they existed in
plenty Now but. one little bay-a mere
cove at the head of Casco bay-furnishes
this creature, which, south of Cape Cod, is
but the common plentiful clam. Oyster
shells of a size to which a saddle rock is
bot pigmy, lie thickly planted ak feet
below the present bottom of Portland har-
Dor. They, too, however, are extinct. In
that great convnlsion of nature that WAS so
sweeping in it's effects not living oyster
was left to fulfill a mission. 1t seems a
sad mistake up here, where oysters could
be eaten every day in the year, and the
nightly blanket renders superfuous the
mosquito bar. But the ocean is still we'll
filled, and with fruits and flowers, with
vegetables and plants, masous and we'll
diggers, robbers and cannibals, each bear
ing in a greater or less degree Tesem-

the creature or object above water that it
is named for. Way down in the dark
depths animal life utilities every inch of
ground, and no square foot above the sur
face can equal in number Of variety Of

A MAIDEN SrEEcH.-Sir Richard Steele
had constructed very eiegent building,
designed for the public recital of select pas
sages from favorite authors and wishing
to ascertain whether it was as we'll calcu-
lated to crafty the ear as the eye, he de-
sired the carpenter who had completed the
work to ascend the rostrum placed at the
end of the building, and speak few SEN
fences. TIE carpenter obeyed, but, when
mounted, found himself, utterly at q loss
for the matter of his harangue. Sir Rich.
ard begged he would pronounce whatever
came first in his head. Thus encouraged,
the new-made orator began, and looking
steadily at the knight, in voice like
thunder, exclaimed, "Sir Richard, here has
and these here men been doing your work
for three months, and never seen the color
Of your money! When are you to pay us I
1 cannot pay my journeymen without
money, and money will have" Sir Rich
ard replied that he was in raptures with
the eloquence of the speaker, but by no
means admired the subject.

SIGN OF DEArH.-Some time ago the
Academy of Sciences in Paris offered a
prize of 81 900 for some simple and positive
sign of death, which any non professional
person could understand and apply. Such
test, suggested in Verchsw's Archiv,
ia considered very satisfactory by the
British medical press. 1t consists in tying
string firmly round the finger Of the sop
posed corpse; if the blood circulates in the
feast-in which event death has not taken
place-the whole finger will swell and
turn a blush red. 1t is conceivable that
such test would be very useful in cases of
drowning and asphyxia. 1t may be legiti-
mate to cite a case which occurred not Icing
ago at Brussels. A drunken man ell into
a canal, and remained so long immersed
that very little hope was entertained of
his recovery. He was, to all appearance,
a corpse. DR.. Joux, physician to The Pc
lice, to whom application is made in sucI,
cases, did not share the conviction of tte
bystauders, and having used the most
energetic means of restoration for three
hours, ended by applying hot iron TO the
patient, who instantly moved slightly. The
former measures were reverted to, and the
supposed corpse stood up in less than half
an hour, branded indeed, but none the
worse for his accident.

The Saturday Reviep says: "A com mon
Imposition among your aspirants to social
rank seems to be that lofty breeding is best
seen in uniformly passionless and vacu-
GUS arrangement of the facial muscles. To
appear interested in any object in his en-
vironment strikes the pseudo aristocrat as
pitiable infrmity of vulgar minds. The
ways in which this curious self imposed
check acts are at times very funny. We
remember hearing Macready give a series of
readiDgs to fashionably- dressed assembly
in q small provincial town, and we were
much struck by the almost heroic efforts
which many of the company made to con-
ceal the emotion so powerfully aroused by
the tragedian's art. Possibly English
people are less impossible by scenic
display and music than Continental ma
tions. Whether this be 80 or not, it is
very curious to contrast the perfectly
apathetic aspect of an assembly at Covent
Garden with the lively demonstrations of
an audience at Paris opera, or the deep,
earnest absorption of the wOrshipers of
Wagner at Berlin or Munich"

process of swallowing whole a morsel
larger than the swsllower, is rather an
unusual proceeding among animals, aud Of
course an unusual method has to be adopted.
The anemonie does it this way: holding
tight its prey, it gradually protrudes its
stomach from its mouth, and turning it
inside out, envelopes its dinner, and then it
lies quietly awaiting death and digestion. 1t

CODGrOkJ
When only thirteen, Sir Ashley Cooper
showed this rare gift. A little playmate
had been crushed by cart wheel. He was
bleeding to death. There was not half
time enough to get surgeon. Ashley
brought out his silk handkerchief-tied it
about the wound-stopPed the bleeding
efectually, till the surgeon could take the
child in charge, whom Ashley had really
saved. And this event was the principal
one to determine that choice of his prOfes
sion, which made him such signal blessing
to mankind. ~
some permanent record. A railroad
bridge had just been destroyed by fire. An
express train was approaching. Eli was
determined to hazard his life to cave
Iothers. He ran to meet the advancing
engine, spread his little arms as widely as
possible, and succeeded in gaining the en-,
'gineer's attention-WhO stopped the train
like that at Norw0lk.

Blaming, q West Indian merchant, was

would have been overcome by fear. Fell
lows, look here" he cried, "you swim
niserably. Here is the best repeater in
all Jamaica for the one that comes in first.
Now do your best" So he kept cheering
and stimulating, now one, now the other.
When he saw Farnum relaxing his stroke,
he reprOached him for giving up SO easily,
when he was sure to win if he only pur-
sued. At last he rushed into the waves
himself, his red handkerchief streaming
from the end of stick, to divert the man
eater. When Farnum was safe upon the
saud, and was told his peril, he fell fiat as

FOR VACCINATION.

| NECESSITY FOR VACCINATION
Physicians and chemists attribute
the spread of the smallpox plague
to the singular indispOsition on the
part of the people to seek vaccina-
ton, growing out of a tancied Sc
curity in keeping aloof from the
contagiOn, or an inexcus,bIe indol
ence that prefers to suffer than to
act. If this rrecaution were duly
observed, small pox could easily be
eradicated. Now, as this contagious
disease is in our midst, and as a
matter of public welfare, it is sug
gested that the authorities impose
. heavy penalty upon all persons
who do not take measures to be
vaccinated at once. and that iaspec-
tors be appointed whose duty it
shall be to report all delinquents.
