All these instances, prove that water and carbon are the
principal constituents of vegetables.
I am convinced when a thorough investigation of the sub-
ject I have undertaken to prove in part, shall take place,
that we shall no longer wonder how the large quantities of
carbon, thrown into the atmosphere, become disposed of,
but almost be surprised'that these facts have not led others
to the same conclusions as here advanced.
Another source of renovation of the air and waters. of the
ocean, arises from the enormous quantities of carbon conti-
nually deposited in the form of carbonate of lime by the
corals in warm seas ; but as my present object is to prove
that the deterioration of the air by animal existence is essen-
tial to the healthy growth of vegetables, I shall not take into
consideration the quantities of carbon which become fixed by
animals themselves S. H. S.

MEM. The Queen being 27th in regular descent from the
Conqueror, and at the same time 36th Sovereign in succes-
sion from the conquest, gives nearly 29 years to a reign, in
respect to the 774 years which have elapsed since that period.
The commonly received average is 30 years to a generation
and 20 years to a reign ; according to which it appears that
the cares or luxuries, or both, of a crown, occasion a sacri-
fice to the wearer of it of one year of life, as compared with
ordinary mortals.
