Society of Natural History.

The hall was filled last evening to hear
Arthur B. Morrill,, Esq, speak of the lower
forms of animal life. Mr.. Fuller managed the
calcium light and threw upon the screen a
drawing of the lowest form, called the Am@ba
1t is mere speck Of jelly, irregular and al
ways changing. 1t can best be described
negatively as it has no definite system of cir
culation or respiration; it has no eye nor ner-
vous system yet it is capable of seizing proper
food and throwing itself around it,thus making
a stomach of what before had been doing duty
as feet. Drawings of many species of this odd
family were shown to the audience by Mr..
Fuller. Next in order come the Foramenifera;
these secrete chalk from the salt water in
which they live and make shells or skeletons
in many quaint forms. The immense chalk
deposite of Europe, thousands of miles in
length, are composed of these microscopic
shells.
The Infusoria form another grovp; these
have mouth, rudimentary canal for digestion
and constant locomotive appendages. They
are interesting on account of certain wheel
like processes which keep in motion continual
ly and supply the animal with water and
nourishment.
We now leave the lower or unorganized
forms and come to the Radiates. The Hydroids
so common in our harbor appear like small
shrubs, they have a well defined mouth, hair
like tentacles, and a stomach cavity; they
reproduce by a budding process and their
young are not hydroids but jelly fishes which
in turn produce not jelly fishes but hydroids SO
that any indiy idual resembles its grand parents
but is unlike its parents. These animals are
the first or lowest that can be said to have
nervous system,
Many forms of jelly fish were shown and Mr.
Fuller with his usual ingenuity was able to
place two species of living jelly fish in his
lantern and SO exhibit the actual motions Of
his specimens
The pea anemone, star fish and ses urchin
belong in this division. The speaker called
attention to the fact that we have in Portland
and vicinity the subjects for vast study.
President Wood followed Mr.. Morrill, by
giving sketch of his visit to Bald Head, York,
Maine, where is the immense trap dixie
described in DIR. Jackson's report. DIR. Wood
also found there little flower called the poor
mans weather glass, elaborate drawings of
which were thrown on the screen. The hope
was expressed that the society might spend a
field day there next summer.
Abial NJ Smith and Marcellus p. Prince
were nominated for active membership.

More Trouble with the Wires.
BOSTON, Nov. 20.-At an early hour this
morning the night managers of the Western
Union Telegraph office at Chicago stated that
their wires were again seriously affected by
the aurora, and the duplex and qHad-duplex
systems OF working had to be abandoned on
many OF their eastern wires. The trouble
seems to be general.
A New York dispatch dated 1890 a. M,
says the aurora is again disturbing telegraphic
communication to-day. Its effects are more
particularly felt between New York and Chica-
60 and there is considerable trouble also on the
Eastern and Southern wires. The Atlantic
cables are also affected.
Gloucester Fishermen Opposing the Fish
Combination.
GLOUCESTER, Nov 20.-The Gloucester had
dock fleet have made stand against the
fresh fish combination In Boston. On Satuf-
day the fleet received cents pound for their
haddock. Yesterday there were eight arrivals
at tnls port with about 300, 900 pounds. Half q
dozen of them went to Boston this morning
and were surprised at receiving an offer from
the Exchange of only $1.25 per 100 pounds
They refused to sell, and telegraphing the
owners were ordered to bring their fish to this
port, where portion of them have been sold
for 81 30 and S1.40 per 1co pounds. The 9TH
ers will be cured. There is disposition on
the part of the fishermen to maintain their
ground against the combination. Advices
from Philadelphia report that the fish trade
there refuses to join the Boston and New York
dealers in the movement for the control of the
market and will patronize parties outside of
the ring.
President Phillips.
President e. B. Phillips of the Eastern road
notified the management of the Toledo Gin
cinnati & ST. Louis Railway this afternoon
that he will accept the presidency Of their COM
pany upon the conditions that arrangements

Steel Works to be Closed.

CHIcAso, Nov. 20.-The Joliet Iron and Steel
Company has determined to close its work on
or before Dec. LIST, and other Western COM
panies making Bessemer stesl expect to follow
suit speedily, thus throwing out of employment
ar least 10000 skilled and unskilled workmen.
Two reasons are assigned for this action. The
Joliet company give as its reason for this step
the fact that majority of Congress hostile to
the maintenance of the present tariff has been
elected, and they propose to take in sail while
they have time, and at slack season. Anoth-
or reason is the recent decline in the price of
steel rails. The North Chicago will probably
shut down by Dec. 18th. The Union Mill will
keep open long enough to complete the orders
on hand, which can be finished in less than
sixty days. Thousands of workingmen are
terribly depressed at the prospect. They were
not among the strikers last summer, but were
taxed heavily to maintain those who struck,
and the stopping of work at the beginning of
winter is looked forward to with grave appre-
hancion
