Long Island. &
Shelter Rock Is an Object of Great In-
terest to Residents and Visitor-5..
Its Peculiar Position and
Formation.
F5.
0
Nature played some queer pranks
when she formed Long Island. Evi—
dences of these are the peculiar to-
pography of the island, its still more
peculiar position upon the map, and
its striking outline, which, with its
topography, make it resemble a. great
leviathan with a protruding backbone.
There is in this neighborhood one more
striking freak—a gigantic rock in :1
place which is”, for miles around, al-
most totally devoid of stones of any
kind. This great rock is called Shelter
rock, and is on the road between this
place and Manhasset.
There are some geologists who claim
that Long Island was the result. of a
great seismic disturbance which shat-
tered it from the mainland—now Con—
necticut and Ithode Island.“ Others
hold to the opinion that it was a float-
ing mass of lava which settled hero
in the plastic period of the earth.
Shelter rock could owe its existence
to either of these processes. It could
have been hurled here from some stony
portion of the country by a powersoim-
mouse as to be almost inconceivable
or it could have floated here upon a
sea of lava when the earth was “with-
out form and void.”
William Chester owns the land upon
‘ this fact that. it got. its name.
' which this interest-ing stone stands.
‘lle keeps a stock farm, and his sheep
use the rock for shelter. It was from
It is
about 130 feet high, 50 feet in width
and 75 or 80 feet in length. Upon the
10p grow bushes of purple and white
lilacs, twice the height of a man, and
their roots extend down into crevices
in the rock. On its south side it shelves
out toward the top, leaving beneath
a. sheltered territory where a flock of
sheep can find protection during :1
storm. '
There is on the west surface of the
rock a. large hollow niche where a Diflll
could sleep with plenty of room. Great-
cracks, showing the strains which have
been upon it at different ages, radiatc
through it in all directions. Lichcns
and moss cling to it. Besules the lilac
bushes upon its top several good-sized
maple trees grow. The roadway from
here to Manhasset passes directly by
the east side of the rock.
There is but one rock like Shelter
rock in all this region. That is what is
called Kidd’s rock, near Sands point,
where, legend says, the great pirate
captain buried some of his much-
sought-for treasure. Kidd’s rock, how-
ever, is small. Shelter rock has been
for years the subject of much specula-
tion and study. Classes of students
from St. Paul’s school at Garden City
have made a critical study of it. Min-
cralogists and geologists from other
institutions have examined it. Among
them was Prof. Reis, of the Columbia
college schoolofmines,wlio examined it
in the interest of the Columbia depart-
ment of geology and mineralogy.
Those who have dug down in the
earth alongside the big stone have been
unable to reach its bottom. It must
extend downward for many feet; in
fact, it is thought that only a small part
of the real stone can be seen. In Wesc-
Chester county there are many rocks
similar, but none so large. There was :1
smaller one not far from here, but that-
was broken up some years ago to make
stone walls. It was once suggested that:
Shelter rock, Which is of a good quality
of gray stone, be broken up and used
for macadam roads. An engineer was
sent here and made careful measure-
ments of' the rock. Guessing at its
depth, he estimated that it contained
enough stone to macadamize all the
roads in North Hempstead town and
many more besides. Chester was of—
fered a. handsome sum for the rock, but
he refused it.
Not only are there no other big stones
in the neighborhood of Shelter Rock,
(‘xoept Kidd’s rock, but there are but
fcw stones of any kind. The immediate
neighborhood is entirely free from
them, but it seems as if all the.
stone thercabout had been solidified in-
to one great mass.
It has been suggested that. the top of
the big stone be leveled off and the rock
used as the foundation for a meeting,r
hall, or a memorial building of some
kind. This would probably have been
done before were it not for the owner’s
unwillingness to sell. The old meeting--
house formerly used by the Quakers of
this village h." but a shortdistance away.
No one has ever estimated the weight
of Shelter rock, but the number of tons
must be pretty well up in the thousands.

pounds of dynamite—N. Y. Times.

SLAVES INSURED IN LOTS.
A Glimpse of the Old-Time Way of Pro-
tection from Loss in Human Property.
The Picayune was, lately shown by :t.
prominent insurance agent a life pol-
icy, which, in the light of- the present
methods of insuring, is a curiosity in
more ways than one.
It was sent here by a Memphis agent,
header “Negro Policy," numbered 365,
issued by the Phoenix Insurance com-
pany of St. Louis, dated in that city the
10th of March, 1851, and signed by John
B. Camden, president, and W. H. T’ritch-
artt, secretary.
The premium paid was $85.39, and the
risk was for $8,000 for three months
from noon of March '4, 1851, to noon of
June 4, 1851, on 16 slaves, aslfollows:
Tom, Frank, SOPhie, Evilinc, Jordan,
Daniel, Ann, Hester, Henry, Lew, Zev
lina, Ellen, Nelson, Mary, Charlotte
and Ann, in favor of Bolton, Dickins &
Co., of Memphis. Tenn, being at the
rate of $500 on tlu. life of each one who
might die during the continuance of pol-
icy.
The restrictions in the document read
that the said slaves “shall have only
the privilege of traveling in the usual
conveyances on land, rivers, lakes, or
inland seas, and of residing in any of
the states and territories of This union,
or the British provinces of North Amer-
ica, north of 30 degrees north latitude
and 20 degrees 'west longitude from
Washington city, except that from the
15th of July to the lst day of N0\ ember,
in each and every year, it shall not be
lawful for the insured to visit or re-
side south of 34- degrecs north latitude,
and 20 degrees west longitude from
\Vashington city, or enter into the mil-
itary or naval service whatever (the
militia. now in actual service excepted)
without such permission previously
obtained and indorsed on this policy,
or in case they shall die in consequence
of a duel or by the hands of justice, or
.n the known violation of any law of
this state or of the United States, or
of the said provinces, or if the said
slaves shall be engaged in any'bapac-
ity on a steamboat, raft or vessel of
any description, without the permis-
sion of said company previously ob-
tained and indorsed on this policy, or
shall run away or be kndnaped; then
and in all such cases the said company
shall not be liable for the payment of
the said sum insured or any part there-
of, and this policy, so far as relates to
such payment, shall be entirely void.
This policy shall be void if assigned
without the consent of the company.”
There was a loss sustained under this
policy, as the following indorsement
will show:
“Received of the Phoenix Insurance
company $498.08 in full, in payment of
negro girl, Charlotte, insured under
this policy, 1’0. 365, less 47 days’ in-
terest. BOLTON, DICKINS & Co.

IN THE DEEP SEA.
A Noted Writer Tells of the Forms of
. Life Found There.
I read the other day something that I
thought would interest so great a sea
bother as yourself. You know that the
fishes that we see and catch. go only a
certain way down into the sea. Belov; a
certain depth there is no life at. all. The
water is as empty as the air is above :1
certain height. Even the shells of dead
fishes that come down there are crushed
into not-hing by the huge weight of the
water. Lower still, in the places where
the sea is profoundly deep, it appears
that life begins again. People fish up in,
dredging buckets loose rags and tat-
ters of creatures that hang togethcrail
right down there with the great weight
holding them in one, but come all to
pieces as they are hauled up. J ust
what they look like, just what they do
or feed upon, we shall never find out.
Only that we have some flimsy fellow-
creatures down in the very bottom 03"
the deep seas, and cannot get them up
except in tatters.
It must be pretty dark where they
live, and there are no plants or weeds
and no fish come down there, or drowned
sailors either, from the upper parts, bl: -
cause these are all mashed to pieces '1"!
.the great weight long before they 9
so far, or else come to a place vclit-g:
perhaps they float. But I daresuy .
cannon sometimes comes carcering s .
einuly down, and circling about lilo.-
dead leaf or thistledown; and then tins.
ragged fellows go and play about the
cannons and tell themselves all kinds of.
stories about the fish higherup and their
iron houses and perhaps go inside and
sleep, and perhaps dream of it all like
their betters.
Of course you know a cannon down
there would be quite light. Even in
shallow water, where men go down
with a diving-dress, they grow so light
that they have to hang weights about
their necks, and have their boots load-
ed with 20 pOunds of lead—as 1 know
to my sorrow. And with all this, and
the helmet, which is heavy enough
of itself to anyone up here in the thin
air, they are carried about like gossa-
mers, and have to take every kind of
care not to be upset and stood upon
their heads. I went down once in the
dress, and speak from experience. But
if we could get down for a moment
near where the fishes are, we should
be in a tight place. Suppose the water
not to crush us '(which it would), we
should pitch about in every kind of di-
rection ;‘ every step we took would carry
11s as far as if we had seven-league
boots; and we should keep flying head
over heels, and top over bottom, like
the liveliest clowns in the world.—
