Mr.. A. B. Morrill, addressed large audi

He said jelly fishes vary IN size from one
eighth of an inch to several feet in diameter
aud are spherical or disk-shapad They have
mouth. stomach, and tubes distributing
nour'shment through the body. In some there
is trace of a nervous system. Some species
are pro0 uced from shrub-like forms called
~"hydroids" Buds appear upon the sides of
these small. I. xed, paut-like forms, burst and
give off freely 81 thinning jelly fishes. The sea
aaemone represent the coral animal. 1t diff

Az atomy will afford an understand ny OF most
of Iur mollnsks. The siphon, Commonly
called the head, has two canals. one of which
conducts water, with food and air, to tho
month in the farther end of the body aud TO
the fonr plaie-iks gills situated in pairs on
opposite sides of the form. The other canal of
the siphon ia the exit. The projecting foot
the muscular and nervous system are all
worthy of attention. The finely spun threads
by which the mus-el clings, the boring teeth
of the pholas, the activity of the razor fish,
the purple littoriDa, the toothed tongue of the
Boccinum, the festher-like gills of the eoljs,
the peaci-like ascidian, ana the small devil
fish, the squid, could all be studied with pro-
loDged attention; while the lobster, the crab,
aud other crustaceans may be classed among
the lower forms.
All of these topics were expanded by the
lecturer, and illustrated by Mr.. Fuller with
the stereoptcon.

cheers and howls followed. Men stood on the
shoulders of their companions, one or two

but turn square around and say, I'D
like to kiss you OF course paid no
attention, and then he came closer and
said: I'd give this diamond ring for a
kiss, at the same time drawing beau
tiful ring from his finger"
"And did he kiss you and refuse to
give up the ringP' queried the girls in
chorus.
