The Snail,s Shell.
lGood WOrds.1

This needful portion of the snaiPs
structure is secreted from the surface of
the mantle. First simple cell is pro-
duced, and this is afterward filled with
calcareous matter, extracted by the won
drous chemistry of animal life from the
vegetables on which the snail has fed.
These vegetables, in their turn, have first
extracted it from the earth. 1t is evil
dent that shells of the snails must differ
in accordance with the soil AboutShef-
field am told that snails are extremely
rare, while on chalk downs they abso-
lutely swarm, existing in such numbers
that the celebrated "Southdown" sheep
are thought to derive the peculiar favor
of their flesh from the snails which
the sheep are obliged to consume while
grazing. ..t,.
In the formation of the shell, it is
found that the edge of the mantle is en-
ployed in the enlargement and coloring
Of the shell, while the other portions are
used in thickening it. Thus it Is, that
the interior Layers Of the shell, which
are deposited by the central part of the
mantle, have no color, and are
simply white. If portion of snaips
shell be broken away, the gap can be ef-
fectually mended in point Of thickness.
But the coloring matter will be either
wholly or partially absent, and so there
will be gap in the pattern. The
whole subject of the coloring Of shells is
a very interesting one, but 1t penetrates
too deeply into the arcana Of chemistry
and optics to be suitable for the present
paper.
The same may be said of the snail's
blood. Any one, however, who wishes to
investigate this subject, will find that
the researches of the President of the &C.
illogical Society, Dr.. Fl. 9. Sorby, have
cleared away many of the difficulties
which surrounded this subject. The
same distinguished investigator told me
that the azure hue Of the snaiPs blood
and the blue tint of the sky we're both
owing to the same cause, j. e. that certain
constituents of that blood and of air alb
sorbed the red and yellow rays of light,
but allowed the blue rays to pass almost
unaltered, Some of the mollusks have
opalescent blood, and in this case the col
ored rays are irregularly absorbed or re-
jected.

Mare Presence of Mind.

David DAVIS, young man from Ohio,
who had been in the Territory about four
months, performed an act Of bravery a
few days since on prospect near the
Rattlesnaks Mine which is worthy of
note. He was hosting bucket of ore,
when the handle to the windlass slipped
from his grasp and struck him on the top
of his head, cutting cash some six
inches in length. With this infiction
he jumped upon the handle, moving with
great force, and stopped it, thus saving
the life Of his brother, who was OF the
bottom Of the shaft, u... ....'.,
