The Imagery of Nature.
(13y a Bamke .;
In various parts of the globe isolated
roils have assumed, Ir, 1,40 forces of
nature, moat diversely strange and gro-
tesque forms; some, perfect natural •
etatuary, as the Queen L'lizabcth rock,
of the Cornish coast, a marvellous eolos-
0a1 statue of that great monarch, n
crown on her head, a Puff around her
neck and shoulders, and her well ktiotvn
features strangely copied, chiselled as by
a sculptor, which the wind-swept spray
from the Atlantic rollers, ever, at high
tide, surging at the base of the statue,
have failed to itnpair; some, fig.u'es of
animals, as the "pigfeee" rock near the
Lizard, a strange naturally carved reek
like a gigantic swine's head, with a
long snout and a projectiong under -jaw;
or some, nature's architecture, as the
cathedral rocks of the Derbyshire ca•
terns, or the castellated fortress meal'
110011e, or the magnificent cohuunadiall
of Stuff,, every column eynunetrically
shaped with mathematical precision.
And, throughout the world, are u uer-
ous other instances of natural , ocl:s
which have assumed familiar shapes, as
the palisaded batiks of the little river
V'olant in France'
which, until examined,
it is difficult to believe are n„t of arti-
ficial manufacture; or the chose grot-
to of 13ert'ieI-lladen, every column like
a pile of rounded eheeses; with many
others, both grotesque and remarkable,
But amongst the st•algeSt, and cer-
tainly the most interesting of all these
natural conformations of rocks, is the
hill outside the walls of Jesusalem,
0 0 021 1111 down the ages as the Skull
Hill, It takes its name from a remark -
similarity to a decaying human skull
presented by a portion of the perpen-
dicular cliff facing the old walls, The
eye -sockets are two black eye -shaped
OW. natural caverns, the Mouth is another
