The United Service G&zetfe says: —lt has been well known'that wooden ships visiting the port of Wilbolmshafen suffered material damage from a worm which penetrates their timbers, and on this account the port was avoided. It appears that there is now at the same port—whether the same species or not, our informant, does not say—a worm which penetrates iron, and the German naval offic'als are much concerned at the ravages it is making in.the German ironclads.
