At a meeting of tiie Royal society of Edmburgh, a lei ter was iead lroni Prof. Piazzi SiuyÜi, who ays tliat i lic observations made at lIio Clinton Hili observatory prior to 1880, estublisheil three !aVa OÏ oecurrence : Fust, t lm l every eleven years a gveat wave ot heit struck tliis eartk, tiii Uaving oocurred Ui ree linies in succession, namely ; in 184t, 1857, and 1808 : .secondly, tliat each of these dates was tliu mark of tlie bcuinninu' ot' a [ eiiod of ïoinarkable solar aeliv'ily ; iind ihiniiy, thai elosu lo thu heat w.ive eame uvo eo;d waves. öneukiug in 1872, lie ha. ij lie said, in uccoidunce w.ui these laws, preuicted that the iext uokl wave would be èxperieiiced about the end of 1880, and Uiat the ycar 1880 would be warm. 8o ieuiarkablo was ihis prrdielion tliat he wLslicd lie liad tliL'ii died, for then the sLaieiiienL uouhl have been remeiiibereii, aiu! ibler men tliau Uiinself would huveïualïgd into the lieid, anti a liew tcituco wouid have been born in a day. opinión exists among Europoan engineera in regard to the pi'ucticiibility ol' establisliing a sea, as is now pvopósèd, in the great Baham, the cbief problem beiug, it would teem, liow lo keep it uu. lt is argueil that, supposing tlie tea to be cre.ited by lueaue of a canal, it will lose au enormous quantity of water by evaporation every day, without the iutroductiou of an equal volume oi'l'resh water. The water evaporatod bcing replaced by a supply coming througii the canal, the wnole body will soon reach the maximuniof saturaiion ; and tUus, tlio evaporation still oontiuuing, a deposit of salt will be forn.ed, wüicll intime must lili up the wholespaceóf the interior sea - me salinity of the water being such that no animal lile would be possiblo in it, and the ultiniaie restilt being simply the UCOIUBÜlation ol ui ininiejise deposit ol salt. On the other hand, the projectors of ihe enierpriso claan that the uresence of this watei iuuI FES evaporallon niusi produce copious rains, wtiich will in large measure retiuu into the sea, and thus not only aecoinplish the object retened to, but also convert á SLunlü waste into a leriile country. A New Vork fishennan had a hainlto-hand liijht witli a school of sluirks. He lad been out with two fi'ieuila in his sailiog boaf. dvifting about the NaiTOWS, and al 3 o'clock in the al'lernooii had just tacke 1 lor the Bay Kidge shore, When hls acention became attracted Uy a dark s.ot in tlie water ot the upper bay. lie said that the black objeci. axpanded rapidly whilo it moved towacü the Long l.slaiid shore, irrilal.nu Lhe waier nieaiiwhile and tossing it into piiniaturo bitsoffoam thal 'il cked an acre of the waler's BUrlaoe. lie sai lied rapidly towanl the spoi, and almost tlie initaiit Laai be saw tbat the üisturbaace wa catised by sliarka his skiü ran into the school. 'ïhe sharks Büapued angrily at the boat's sides, and lashed tlíe 'water into a l'oam. (Jne tish, largor and uglior than the rest, leapéd loward tbe stern and cruslud llio back strip and ruilder betweeu ilsjiw.;. The water secmed alive with black flus, which daried in all direciions. George Morris and John llalley, tho conipanions of Kobertson, rushcd to the foi ward part of the boat. Morris had been silling on the stern seat, and narrowJy esoapt'd the bite of the infui'iated fish, liobertson tore np oi.e of the seats with wliich tihe little cratt was fltted, and used it ellectively on tlie hard black snouts of more than one of the BharkB. Tlio breeze lilled tlio Síiils and carriel tho bout sluadily througb. the danger.
