ProEfess Of tne Mississippi JettIes.

Capt. James B. Eads, in letter to
Mr.. ]. So Walsh. presideDt of the South
Pass ietty company, of St. Louis thus
sums up the work done at the mouth of
the Mississippi river "FrOm what
have written you will see that the river
discharge is, now largely controlled on one
side by the east jetty, while large pOr-
tion of the water escapes over the mat
tresses of the west jetty, which are not
yet high enough to control it. The et-
feet of closing the opening between the
west jetty and the west bank has, how
ever, tended to throw more of the dis
charge down by the east jetty, and for a
distance of three thousand feet (seyen
thousand from the lands end, or east
point) the result has been decided deep
ening of the channel, varying from one
foOtI to- four or five feet, from the upper
end of the west jetty seawards. A de-
cided deepening between the ends of the
jetties out at sea has also occurred,
caused, doubtless, by the tidal action of
the sea, which is controlled TO some eX-
tent by the guide piles. although the
mattresses at the end are not yet built
up sufficiently 70 Justify anticipating
any marked effect of the tide. Our pill
ing was driven in twentv-siX feet water
at the end Of the east tetty, and we have
now thirty-three feet for some distance
landward. A decided deepening extends
five hundred feet in this direction. The
bar is, therefore, being attacked ON the one
side by. the river and on the other side
by the sea, and, as result, the base oft,
in the line of the channel, Is materially
shortened already by their action. Not
less than seven hundred cubic yards Of
earth have been removed by the effect Of
the jetties thus far, and we have everv-
thing to encourage us to believe thatsuc-
cess is certain.

experiments and observations recently
made on the transmission Of tuberculosis
or phthisis from one animal TO another,
are worthy of note, ~ indicating one
fruitful source Of pulmonary disease
Thus it has been found that when an
animal with tubcrculated lungs IS made
the yoke-fellow Of a perfectly healthy
animal, and the two are housed ana fed
together. so as TO inhale one another,s
breath, the one which at first was sound,
before long exhibits the symptoms OF
tuberculosis. Again, Krebs has produced
tuberculosis by giving animals milk from
those which were diseased. In addition
to the rabbits and Guinca-pig (Which an
imals are very susceptible to the artificial
production of the malady), he accident
aIlv induced the disease in dog by
feeding it with the milk of a COW IN the
last stage of phthisis. As result OF his
observations, he asserts that tubercle

cows. whether they are slightly or grayelly

PHosPHoREsCENT MOLLUSCA.-Some
of the most beautiful, luminous phe-
nomena of the ocean are caused by ami
mails belonging to the mOllusoous sub
kingdom, which is nearly as prolific in
ligllt-giving species as the Radiata. There
is shelless mollusk which inhabits the
Atlantic, in the neighbOrhood of the
equator, and resembles tiny cylinder of
incandescent matter 1t is microscopic
IN size, but prodigious numbers adhere
together, until a tube from five or six TO
fourteen inches in length is formed, and
the sea sometimes presents the appear
auce of a sheet of molten lava, from the
number of these tubes which are floating
in il. Moreover, a singular phenomenon
is connected with this form of phosphO-
rescence the color of the light is CON
stantly varying, passing instantaneously
from red TO brilliant crimson, TO orange,
to greenish, to blue, and finally TO opa
line yellow. Another highly phosphO-
scent species of Mollusca belongs TO
the family of the SdtDidcs, which abounds
in the Mediterranean and the warmer
parts Of the ocean. These individuals
also swim adhering together in vast num-
bers, and produce the effect of long rib
bons of fire, sometimes drawn straight in
the direction of the currents, sometime
twisted and almost doubled by the
action of the waves. In the Mediterra-
mean their phosphorescence often re-
sembles the light of the moon. .aI
