Shell Sounds.

The peculiar murmuring sound, not
unlike the ripple of the waves on still
evening, which we hear on placing a
shell or other hollow object to the ear,
is due to the fact that the concave sur
face concentrates and multiplies all diff
fereat sounds around us, so as to render
them audible. The many sounds always
present in the air are augmented by the
resonant cavity Of the shell. Science

LOVES POWER.

Life may change, but II may fy not.
Hope may vanish. but can die not:
Truth be veilcd. but still IL burneth:
Love repulsed-but IL returneth.
Yet were Life n charnel where
Hope lay coffined with Despair;
Yet were Truth a sacred lie,
Love were lust-if Liberty
Lent not life its soul of light,
Hope its iris OF delight.
Truth its prophets robe to wear,
Love its power to live and bear.

Your third request is for the time

reply to your first inquiry.
Your fourth inquiry Is as to what par
ticular words in the published letter

the President, l referred to.
l reply that certain of the words of the
Secretary and President which l deem
pertinent to the subject matter have al
ready been given In my reply to your
first inquiry, although there are others
obviously bearing on the same subject.
