At one of the last meetings of the Academic des &lances, ot Perla, M. Guerin-Maneville produced a number of wheat-haulms of more than wren feet in height, each of them bearing several vplendel ears. This fine species of wheat derives its origin from live grains that were found in an Egyptian tomb, and thus had for thousands of ycese been preserved from all external influence. Sown out en 1849, they grew up luxuriantly, and yielded a twelve-hundred-fold produce—in consequence of which M. Drouillard made various comparative experiments in Southern and Central France, me well an in Brit tany. In 1840, these experiments were made on a large ece- k, and reamed a more important eharectee.

He defended the dis tinguished author's recent lectures from the charge of dis loyalty, contending that in dealing with such a subject the voice of truth should not be stifled by that of flattery, and concluded by remarking on the philosophical treatment and benevolent spirit that characterised all his writings. . . _ Kr.
