co, be a substitute in building, where tho
oak, and pine, the cypress, the juniper, SC.
are used. In short, it is (as expressed in the
patenD ga substitute for shingles, states, and
THE, but may be used Cor other purposes"
The preparation ofthis composition may hc
made throughout the yearia any town, and on
every farm and plantation, and herewith COW
the square foot but its application can only
properly have effect when put on in serene
weather from the spring, TO the fall. The
patentce laboured under great disadvantages
in the experiments he had the honour to
make in the presence Of the honourable the
justices of the supreme court, as the stuc-
CO was applied TO the shingle in very tenn
pestuous and stormy season, yet did not fail.
Those gentlemen who may be desir9us Of
obtaining the privilege from the patentcc for
making and using the impenetrablc stucco
for any town, country, district, state, planta-
ton or farm, will bc pleased to make applica-

intended to be a covering to the roofs of hou-

easily prepared, is cheap and durable and as
We have viewed an experiment made on it,as
well by aqua tortis, as by coal FIRE, neither
of which seemcdto have the complete power

particularly, when it is applied On the roofs Of
buildings which arc shingIcd The inventor,
Mr.. Mornevcck, has stated TO us that il is

GEsTLEMEN---As that season Of the year
is approaching, in whicha general apprehcn-
sion of danger from lightning is most excited,
few remarks, on the various means Of seek
Ing safety y,, may SS1I attention 70 facts from
That the rnctalick conductor is not com-
pIetc guard from the elcctrick fluid,is testified
bv two instances OH the records OF the acade-
my ; but granting il to be productive OF per-
feet security, its benefits can be enjoyed by the
minor part Of society only, whose pccunisry
means will afford the expence. In these
brief remarks the eectrick road will there
fore be overlooked, Tor noticing such particu-
lars as may lead to rational measures, within
the power OF all who choose TO adopt them,
From early life have been in the habit os
observing the circumstance attending on e.
lcctrick explosion, particularly where the loss
of life was consequence, and no instance has
fallen within my knowledge OF person being
killed by Lightning in close room. Whether
il be q fact that such an occurrence never takes
place, am not prepared to decide but ii,up-
on extensive enquiry, none such shall be
| found, it may be inferred, that close room
| presents one Of the greatest chances OF sccu-
| rity. On this subject have found the gen.
| eral opinion to be dividcd--advocatcs appear
I! ing as numerous for an open as tor close
room during thunder gust.
I In cases not admitting OF mathematical de-
I monstration, theories arc often erected upon
vague conjccturcs and unaccountablc preJu-
dices but il is the dictate of reason that o.
iinions thus founded should submit before
the influence of facts--I would therefore oifcr,
for the consideration of the academy, the fol-
lowing motions
Ist That a committee be appointed for the
purpose Of collecting Information respecting
lives which have bscn lost by lightning, In
this or any other country, and OF the attendant
circumstances in such as they relate to the sit
uation Of the person o. persons AZ the time,
whether sheltered or exposed also, whether
evidence OF any instance can be procured o!
the loss Of ,ifc by tightening, in room, oil
which the doors, windows, and fire place we're
| closed at the time.
Respectfully submitted,
