predicted with a precision which has excited IN
no small degree tho admiration OF Astronomers ;
indeed, mt the temperance IN 1873. ~.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
. THE wINKLE, OR LIABLE SHE'LL.


One of the most common objects to be met
with on the sea-shOre are the strings oil egg
cases OF capsules of the Wrinkle, or lAdle-shell.
These strings vary from twelve to twenty inches
in length, and contain from forty to seventy
five capsules. The first few capsules are al
ways small and barren, says A. w. Roberts IN
The Scientific american while the others contain
from fifty to one hundred eggs. After having
exhausted the jelly-like substance with when
the capsules are charged, the young wrinkles eat
their way out through tough mem Dranes
at the ends of the egg cases. On escaping from
the capsule the young Wrinkle burles Itself in tne
sand leaving only the end OF its slPnOh
Through which it bTeathes) exposed. men
newly laid the egg cases are OF light creamy
color, and the tough, leathery substance Oh
which they are composed is translucent: lnese
egg cases are deposited by the, wnkle Whe men
buried under the sand. Several deposits are
made from March until late in the fall, ana dur
ing the summer large quantities OF the egg cas,s
come ashore on COney Island between NoItOn's
Point and Brighton Beach. $500
The Wrinkle does not like rough, rocky DOt-
tom. and reQuents only sandy and muddy DOt-
toms. 1t is not an enemy to oysters ana olhei
biyslyes but feeds on small crustaceans anu
marine worms. "1he flesh of the Wrinkle" says
Mr.. Roberts 4" is the toughest of all marine tOdd
that have eaten. Still there is a colony OF col
Ored people back of KeypOrt, n. D., known as
Wrinkle Town. from the fact that its lnhaDl-
| tants live largely on wrinkles, whose shells inc

A PRETTY AFGHAN.

In fashionable uptown residence the other day
the writer saw useful Afghan on lounge which
ONE of The TRIBUNE readers may like to copy. II
was worked in three cOors, black, scarlet and green
in strips in the ordinary Afghan or crochet trcotee
stitch in double zephyr wool, although good Ger
mautown would have looked nearly as we'll, and
would have been quite heavy enough.
Take. therefore, Of Germantown worsted, o.
soaries 8 o. green and % OF. black, with about an
ounce of shaded crimson, and long No. q or No. B
crochet hook.
Mako chain of 40 with the scarlet and work a
plain strip in the Afghan stitch till half the wool is
used. Then make another chain of 40, and make a
second strip Of exactly the SIZE with the other
6alf Of the WOOL Make also two strips of the same
81 in both green and black.
This gives you six strips in all. Now for the mid
die strip of the couvrette make chain Of 80, in
black and work this wide strip till it is as long as
the others When this is finished take the shaded
crimson and join green strip on each side Oft with
row of Dos, that is put the hook through an edge
stitch of the strips, draw the wool through both,
catch It again and draw through the two loops on
the hook. This makes when completed ittle
raised ridge Of shaded crimson between the two
strips. Next JON in the same way narrow black
strip to each green one and finally crimson strip
TO each black. Work also along the outer edge OF
each Of she scarlet strips row OF DC's with the
crimson.
fringe in black along the ends OF the strips on
fhe two opposite sides completes the plain Afghan
zhis fringe may consist of a double thickness of
wool kuOtte into each stitch, with two threads Of
the first afrerward knotted with two of the third,
two Of che second with two of the fourth the second
two Of the third stitch with the first two Of the fifth
stitch, and 80 on. Or some of the fringes already
published in THE TRIBUNE may be adopted.
In the example we are describing handsome
monogram was worked in the centre of the middle
iblackl strip in rich maroon, with acuster OF howers
added above and below tho monogram, worked
in the cross stitch so familiar in old samplers"
Bunches Of flowers were also crewelled on the other
bssck strips, but the crimson and green ones were
left quite plain.

ALplNE AYALANCHES.

The warm weather which has lately prevailed
in Southern Europe, after the immense guam
Titles of snow which had fallen, naturally led TO
several avalancbes IN the Alps. On February
IL n terrible one descended from the slopes OF
Mont Pourri, and covered with mass OF snow,
thirty feet deep, the village of Breveres, IN the
'TiCnes commune. Thirty-twO persons were
burieI under the snow, and no less than 3oQ
peasants from the ncighbOrhood were engaged
m sinking pits 10 reach the buried houses. vi
the buried, twenty-five were found alive, iour
were dead, and three are not yet discovered
Two days later, another avalanche descended
from the same mountain, and covered space
10000 metres wide with mass oil snow
fifteen to twenty metres deep. The pressure oil
air displaced by the avalanche WAS so GIea
that ali the Windows Of the village were broken
within a few seconds. The quantity Ot Sn0"
fallen during the previous days was so great
that all communication was bIOk5n up between
Brcvieres village and the bottom OF the valley {;
a peasant from I igncs took thirteen hours to
reach the next town, BOurg- Saint Maurice,
travelling in the snow more than one metre
deep.
