Natural History Society,

The Natural History Society Of
Delaware met in monthly session
last night.
An inquiry as to whether the
nautilus has wings and legs led to
an interesting discussion of the sub
ject. Frank M. Jones gave as his
opinion of how the chambers in the
shell are. increased that new
chamber is added each year. The
idea of making water-tight apart
ments in boats, he said, came from
the manner Of construction of the
shell Of the nautilus. Mr.. Jones
exhibited a part of a nautilus shell
by way of illustration. The tail OF
stinging-ray orstingaree, as fish
ermen name it, was also an interest
ing specimen. A five-foot length
covered with sharp tooth-like pro-
trusion and two stout singers, is
a description of the dreaded wea-
pom Of the fish.
But live subjects are always
more interesting than dead ones,
and seven tiny grass snakes and
one ground snake taken from nest
in the marshes along the Christiana
river, received much favor. The
naturalists, especially the women,
were delighted with them.

SEA CAVES.

Cayes 81 tho ses I have seen,
Ragged. on coasts that are lonely,
Rank with the asa dllses greea,
Red with the rock algae only,
Piled with old dfiftweod like bones
Left for the breeEes to Written,
Relice from all Of the zones,
Potent not even to brighten,
Flumed by chokeberry and rose
Flung from the wilds 10 a token,
Visited only by crows
Hunting the mnssels half broken.
However brightens the day,
All Of the light Is from under,
All Of the rain Is sea spray,
All Of the voices wave thunder.
Yet by these noisy sea caves
Spirits Of silence are dwelling.
God rules the bleakness; his waves
Speak with his voice in their swelling.
Like are the caves Of our thought
Filled with our errors and lonely,
Far, on coast never sought,
Where We are travellers only.
Walking amid the debris,
Silent, yet rapt in emotion,
Knowing that God IL and he
Watches the toll Of his ocean.
