NEw-EAvEE, October IS.

The annual meeting of the Connecticut
Academy of Arts and Sciences was held in
this city on Tuesday evening last. The
members of the Society convened at the
State House, and thence moved in process.
sion to the brick meeting house; where an
ingenious and scientific Grafton was deliver.
ed by Serene E. Dwight, Esq. His sub
ject was The Origin at SPRINGS. The theo-,
res of the learned were examined, and
tested BY the principles of good sense, and
sound philosophy. The first which came
under his notice, was that which attributes
the origin of springs to the sea !; and sup
poses the water to be, raised by internal
fires evaporating it from great caverns be-
Meath the ground, or in very fine tubes upon
the principles of capillary attraction. The
absurdity of both suggestions was fully
shewn. AS to the first, he remarked, that
the existence Of such internal fires is mere
hypothesis. The temperature of the inte-
rior of the earth is 43 degrees. But to raise
the waters of all the streams, the internal
fires must be vast and numberless. Besides
the whole surface of the earth must be-
come heated, like the refrigeratory. of a
still, by the oaloric of the. steam. = To the
raising of the water in capillary tubes
these difficulties were presented. First, wa
ter has never been known to rise in such a
tube more than few inches here it must
be raised many thousand feet. Secondly.
the water which is raised by capillary at
traction is sustained it never oOsyfozus.-
Thirdly, the water, though filtered in this
way, would not be fresh. This perpetual
filter would itself become sal. throughout.
The next theory which he examined,
