SCIENCE,

The Shells Of Pompeii.-Dr. Nicola
IlDeri, an excellent naturalist, living
at Resina. close to the sitc OF Pompeii,
has recently published remarkable
and well written memoir on the shells
found in the ruined city. The point of
Wow to which he directs attention is
very different from that taken by the
gcologist, antlquary, artist, or archi-
tcct. lie treats Of the shells found in
ruins, and which had soryed tor food,
or had been used by the Pompeians for
ornament and other purposes. We
know from AthenHus and other ancient
authors the mollusca were then relished
quite as much as they are ut the present
day by the inhabitants of Italy. DR..
Tibcri gives 4 list OF all the shells
which he noticed as Pompeian, belong
ing to no less than IL species, with par
ticulars OF their relative abundance at
POmpeil, as we'll as Of their distribution
and economy. Some were OF edible
kinds, as the common oyster and mussel.
Others served to adorn fountains. The
Oriental pearl shell was represented by
a single valve only. But tho ladies of
POmpcii seemed to have attached con-
siderable value to the cowry, as amulcts
or charms to prevent sterility; and
among these shells were some Of the
species from the Red Sea and the Per-
sian Gulf. A single specimen Of
another exotic shell must havo been
kept for its great beauty as an object Of
curiosity. ALI the shells used in the
ornamcntation of fountains, five in the
city and one In the suburbs, arc of
species which arc still common in the
Gulf Of Naples; and these shells arc
separately distinguished and named.

Limo Juice and Lenonade

cline juice bids fair to do tho work
OF dozen temperance advocates. In
England, which Is not Il very hot coun-
try, 1t is, we arc informed both pri-
vatcly and through the newspapers,
largely supcrseding the use ofalcoholic
liquors. 1t is the first really desirable
and elegant non-alcholic dinncr-table
beverage that has yet been prepared.
A very small quantity Of it, swcctcnctl
to the taste in tumblcr of water,
makes most delightful summer drink
and except for tho sugar which many
do not use, very inexpensive one In
deed. The London Lancet says the de-
mand for lime juice Is SO great that the
liquorsellers have to keep It, although
they would very much prefer not to-,
and accuse 1t Of doing all sorts Of mis-
chief TO the human frame. And it
has we learn, equally
established its place on gcntlemen's 8
tables, those who have been accustomed
to use wine freely consuming g it in large
quantities. 1t is popnlary credited
with being an absolute specific for
rheumatism and gout, rs we'll rs for a
variety Of cutaneous diseases popularity
known under the general name of
scurvy. Many chronlcally troubled
with the first class of disorders find
their health unquestionably better
since they began to use this instead OF
wine. The Lancet, while it does not
question the common opinion of its
virtues, der ides the interested obiec-
tions of the liquor sellers, and advises
every body to take as much lime juice
rs he wants. Canada is a warmer
country than England, especially this
year, and the SUCCESS Of lime juice is,
we believe, prOportionatcly great.
with knowledge we heartily endorse
he Lancet's advice. Our best physi-
clans are prescribing lemon and lime

Ing up of the system. Lines are pre-

In proportion to tho amount of acid

TABLE SALT AN APERIENr.- .--Physi-
clans have for long time known that
common table salt Is an efficient aperi-
ent In ordinary cases of constipation.
In a lecture Oh II case of nervous aifec-

patient was recommended to take
each morning on rising tum-
blerful OF water--cold to prevent
nauscating-in which was dissolved Il
tcaspoonful oftablc salt. 'This simple

generally find it efficient. There is
great advantage in starting the bowels

to the purpose. The gas is so rich that

Height Of ,StormS.-Pro fcssor Loomls,
In his Investigations Of tho phcno-
mcna of storms, has ascertaincd
that atmospheric disturb ances during
storms do not generally extend more
than about mile above the sea- vel as
they pass over New England. From
observations made at the sea-lcvel, as at
Portland, simultaneously with obser-
vaCions at the summit Of Mount Wash
inGton, it is found that during the pas
sage OF storms the usual system Of cir
culating winds does not in the majority
OF instances extend to height of six
thousand feet. Tho more violent the
movement, however, the greater the
height attained by the disturbance.
Another fact of interest is that the dis
turbance on the approch Ola stol III is felt
ut the surface sooner than ut considerable
elevations. Professor Loomis says that,
"when. during the progress Of an area
OF low pressure, the system Of circu-
lnting winds reaches tho summit of
Mout Washington, the change OF wind
to the east quarter usually begins at
the surface stations eleven hours,
sooner than 1t does ut the summit Of
that mountain" 1t thus appears that
only in the lower portions Of the atmos-
phcrc does the great storms occur, and
that they are first felt at the eartls sur
face.
