Shells that Travel.

The great couch or strombus has a
veritable sword that it thrusts out, sticks
into the ground, and by a muscular eff
fort jerks itself along, making adecided
leap. The squids-that are the bright
est forms OF mollusks-leap entirely
clear of the water, often several feet.
They are the ink bearers. and from their
Ink bags the sepia used by
artists, while their bone is the cutie
tish-bone Of commerce. Many of the
cookies have a method of flying through
the water that is quite novel. They are
generally beautifully colored and have
long streaming tentacles, and sudden
ly, without warning, they dart up from
the bottom, and by q violent opening
and shutting of their valves they rush
away, with their long, reddish hair
streaming after them, presenting a very
curious appearance. The shell known
as the Lima Mans is particularly re-
markable for these flights, and all the
scallops are jumpers and lcapers. When
placed in a boat they have been known
to leap out, and the ordinary scallop has
been known to jump out OF a pot when
placed upon q stove.--Reh0boM

The Black tone in the Kaaba.

In the kaaba, the most ancient and
remarkable building of the great mosque
at Mecca, is preserved a miraculous
stone, with tie print of Abraham's feet
impressed upon it. 1t is said by Mo
hammedan tradition to be the identical
stone which served the patriarch as a
scaffold when he helped Ishmael to re-
build the Kaaba, which had been orig
inally constructed by Seth, and was af-
terward destroyed by the deluge. While
Abraham stood upon this stone it rose
and sank with him as be built the walls
of the sacred edifce. Tine relic is said
to be fragment of the same gray Mecca
stone of which the whole building is
constructed, in this respect differing
from the famous black stone brought to
Abraham and Ishmae by the angel Ga,
briel, and built into the northeast corner
of the exterior wall of the Kaaba which
is generally supposed to be either me
teorlte or fragment of volcanic basa t,
1t is supposed to have been originally a
jacinth of dazzling whiteness but to
have been made black as ink by the
touch OF sinful man, and that it can only
recover its original purity and brilliancy
at the day of judgment The millions
of kisses and touches impressed by the
faithful have worn the surface considera
bly,, but, in addition to this, traces Of
cup-shaped hollows have been observed
on it. There can be no doubt that both
the relics associated with Abraham are
of high antiquity, and may possibly have
beonged TO the prehistoric worship
which marked Mecca as sacred site
long before the followers Of the prophet
had set up their shrine hcre-Blact-

The casual reader of the newspapers
forms no adequate idea of the annual
loss of life and property in this coun
try by violent wind-storms. The year
1884 was remarkable in this respect.
The records Of the Signal Service de
partment show recorded during that
year us tornadoes in the United
states, IS occurring in Georgia, - in
South Carolina, Is in Alabama. l. in
North Carolina, and 10 each in Iowa
and Wisconsin. Lightning occurred
in 2S Of the tornadoes Their average
width was 1,037 feet, and their aver
age length was 36l0 miles Their
velocity averaged AZ miles per hour.
The tornadoes averaged IS seconds in
passing given point. The tenn
perature before the tornadoes was
generally warm, and generally they
were succeeded by cooler weather.
Their greatest frequency was between
4 and $50 p. m The largest number
of tornadoes occurred in Ju.y over
1000 buildings were destroyed by tor
nadoes during the year. The most
extensive tornado was in Minnesota
September 9, the estimated losses by
which were 100000. Contrary to
the general opinion. it viii be observed
that more than half of the tornadoe5
occurred in the southern States.

During the past 800 years, it is
stated, some 200 systems Of short hand
have been devised and published.
The older forms were usually mere
clphers, or a representation Of the or
dinary methods Of spelling by the use
symbols for letters whereby no great
advantage in the way Of brevity was
attained IIierogIyphics, or picture
writing, were also cla5sed as short
hand; also, plan of omission of the
yowels, which might be- called abbre-
Waited long-hanJ. The first system Of
shorthand which attained the objects
sought for-breyity and accuracy
was that Of Isaac Pitman, first pub
lished in l649. This mode Of short
hand was the first to be known as
photography or sounds rather than
letters. Other systems since intro
duced have continued this plan. Gus
tom has of late years adopted the
word of hand, which comes to
us from the Greek, and means narrow
or close writing; in other phrase,
shorthand.
