Tha world Is indabipd to 2. Quaterfages, the eminent Fronch naturalint, for & kaowladge of the life history of the Teredo mivalia, properly callad - the ahip-worm. This destructive little animal makes its home in submerged wood, which it perforaten with tnbnlar gallaries, wkore it aponds Ita Life allornately tunneling and foed- ing on tha fino raspings or ehips it makes, It abounds in tho sens, and ite ravages are Bo ox- tonsive and so rapidiy ofcoted that all mub- marmo afructures of wood ars liablo to bo rid- dfed by it unless carofully protected againat fty oporations. Pianka and timhers of bridges, piora and ships, that appear outwardly whale and perfect, will ofton on esamination prove to bo intornally furrowend in every direction and ready to crumblo in plocon nndor the mlightest woight. A piece of deal has hecn fonnd completely riddied in forty dayn alter Its immersion, M, Quaterfages relaten that a boat rawmed fonr months alter it had foundered on the conat near Port St. Sebas- tian was 80 worm-caten that it wad utterly use- lers, The cnriona part of ti:s Terodo’a tanneling is, that, although its gallerien may perforate evary part of tho wood anil destroy its ontire subistancs, they naver communicate. Soms instinet informe tho littlo miner when it han reached & furrow bollowed by another indisidunl, and it instantly changes it courno and literally worins its way in o naw ditection. It genorally moves with tae grain unless it meetw with somo obstruction. Early in the sightennth century the Teredo at- tackedthio dyken of Holtand, and for a time threat- ened to annibilate the country by consuming the piles supporting the sea walle, and thus letting tho ocean roll in upon tho land. A vast sum of moncy was expended befora the imminent danger wan mireated.

Copper slicnthing in employed to protect ships, or tha timber in driven full of shot, broad-headed nails, tho rust of which covors it with a coating which in to tho Terado like an armor of mail. 1ta Jittlo tooth noverattempts to penctrate s ma- teriol 5o spotled for its taste. Althor tho Teredo is called » worm, it is really an aceplinlous molluse, and wears from fts birth a littlo bivalvo ebell. BDat in the progress from infaney to maturity it undezgoes singular transformations, It is hatched from & small, round, yellowieh-green ogg, and is at first naked and motionless, 1t is noon covered with vibra- tile ciha, after which it mwims about for forty- eight hours, At the end of this time the cilia disappear, and tho young Teredo ainks to the vottom. Ilero, in the course of five and a half dnve, it dovelops a ehall that almont entirel: incloses it, Then it graduslly puts forth » long, elender foot, that projects far bevond tho shell, and by which 1t can propel it- eelf, At this stage 1t is tho size of = grain of millet, 18 aphorical in form, and brown tn hue, and can snim fresly again, or walk by means of ita foot. Now it hunts about for some fixed or floating wood that {a to afford it food and slioltor, that 18 to be at cnce ta castle and its lorder. ‘When {¢ has found the wmaterial necessary fo its oxistence, it creops along the surface of tho wood until {t dfscavers 8 part sufliciently eoft and norous, when it begioa boring a gallery for its future home, After the tunuel is deep onongh to coutain it, tho little, round molluse rapidiy effcota & metamorphiosfa. It covers iteelfl with a slimy coat that at the end of thres days liccomen quite notid. A new and larger shell is next secreted, after which the Teredo changes ita spheroid form for one elongated like a worm, It requires about three weoks for this singular iraoaformation to bo campleted. f. Vernill tatos that on tho coast of New England the Teredo nivalis produces its younz m AMay, sud probably through the greater part or all of the rummer, According to Quatetfages, the Teredo's Iife is rounded in & single season, It perishes durivg tho winter succeeding its birth, FORMS OF LIFE IN CAVES. A thorough oxzploration of the various caves of Kentucky, of the Wyandotte and Hradford Caves of Indiana, and of Woyer's Cave and Cave of the Fountaina 1 Virginis, wade by Moesrs, A, 8. Packard and F, W.;Putnam, has resulted in the discovery that aconsiderablo number of spe- cles of animals and plants inbablt the depths of thene cavorna. Spiders were frequently observed i all the caves visited, but were most abundant in Woyer's Cave, where threa specios of truo cavo spidors were found, viz,, the Nesticus pal- tidus, Linyphia Weyeri, and Linyphia incerta. Aammoth and Wyandotte, the largest and most ancient caverns, moasuring from bto 7 or 8 miles in oxtont, had but a single specics oach. Tlhe Anthrobiu Mammonthia was found only in M moth, and tho smnll caves called Dismonds and Proetor's, situated abont 6 miles from it. The Linyphia subterranca, tho only spacics oceurring in Wyandotte Cave, also occurred in tho latter Carter caves (of Carter Connty, Kv.), and the two Wever's caves q‘v'm'tr"n andthe adjoining Cave of tho Fountswns), arc very small, all betng losa than Walf & mile in length, exceot Lata' Cave, that is porhaps ovor a milo in oxtent. Yet 1t wan in thesa swall cavorna that tho variation and number of apecioa was found to be greatest, ‘Tho Anthrobia was found in Mammath Cave at different points under siones, The cocoons found with it contained only from tro to fiva ogpe. ‘Tha adult spider is white, tinged with s faint fleah color. Tho Linyphia obmerved in yandotte Cave in a tght pinkish harn-brown on the logs and thorax, and a dnil vellow on ths ahdomen, In all, aix specics of true cave apidets wera obtained. The epecimens were feeblo and diminutive, and only thoee {u the Wever's caves spin a wob, which was of a fow woesk, irreguiar threads. #izo and feoblo reproductive powers of theso spiders may be accounted for by the in. snfiicioncy of food and light afforded” in their subtorranean homes, Mr, Packard iv inclined to tho opiuion that all tha cave animals are modi- fied forms of those living at tho prosent day out of doors, In Mammoth Cave s common ylant identifiod as tho old Jiyssus aurantiaca, avd naw known as Ozonfum auricomum, was found, whils & voung Peziza and & colotlces Agarigocenired in Woyer's cava, SOAP-DEARINQ TREES, Thers grows in tho Weat Indiea n troe of the natural order Sapindacee, the fruit of which faused instend of soap., The troe is pamed Sapindus sapongria, and the frait coneists of a |berry about the sizo of a largo cherry, tho pulp of which contains tho sapouncoous principle.

These nuts are very hard, and wore a ono time imported into Turops for the manufactuse of waistcoat but- tons, The buttona were crnamented with tips of metal, sud wero very durable, bearing & good deal of hard use without injury.

The HSwedish sallor, who was at tha wheel at tho time, sfates that ho henrd s cry of *Oh, ohl™ and these words, though not then spposed to have fallen from tho first mate, could, indeed, hardly have coma from any othier poreon, Tho Swede did not seo what was Ralug on mors toward tho centre of the upper deck from tho position he ncon"lnd. ‘Ihe body was quickly dieposed of, and] itls sald that it threo men aeyiated ft: casting it over thes eido of the sLip futo tho water.

'Tho Commutteo will meot for fhat purposo in June next, and will submit their re- Dors to an adjourned mession of ths Council, to Lo held in tho early part of next Septemter. The speech of tho Hev. Chilly MeIntosh, a Creek, favoring tho adoption of the propcscd Goverument, was by far the sblest speech of the ecwsion: aud Lia strong, terso, eloquent wards wore listeued to with satisfaction by the ‘fii'izud! of the measure, eapecially tha wild triben. A resolution was sabmitted, providing for the establisiment of & vowspapor in the {ntsrcels of tho new movement, which was read and re- ferred to the pn:fer Committee, and the quen- tion will bo paseed on at the Bepteniber seasion. Superintondent Hoag informs mo that this is the largest Council ever asrembled, embracing cighty-three dolegates, ropresenting twenty-pino of tho thirty-threo tribos within the jurisdiction of tho Cousicil ; avd the outiouk for a poaceful and just solustou of the Indian provlem appears tn the near futurs.

For six years paat, thosa Grand Coun. cils have besa held auuually, without any g reaults foliowing, until the prasout.

Supt.
