METEORIC EXPLOSION.

That atmospheric connections of stony and metal
hne substances of frightful bulk have frequently
dasled apon the earth's surface from some superior
region fact which rests upon good authority as
human testimony and the evidence Of our senses can
afford. These phenomena happen as we'll when the
atmosphere is apparently serene as when it is cloudy

stones are merely the chips of the universe, that got
going when he who put these wheeling globes in
ton wound up the vast machine and that they have
continued since that time to float through the infiny
of space but being drawn out of their proper course
by force of attraction they last mpnged upon
this planet they have upon Others One of the more
modern and prevailing theories connects itself with the
origin of the four small planets, viz Ceres Pal
las, Juno, and Vesta, that first seen coursina
around the between Mars and Jupiter, since 1901
The theory is, that these four little planets are the
fragments of another world" occupying similar
distance from the sun, but which has been riven into
quarters by great convusion and that out of this
CONFUSION, by its explosive force there were projected
with very great velocity number of little fragments
and, being thrown beyond the attraction of the lar.
ger fragments, thus might fall towards the earth
when Mars happened to be in the remote part of his
orbit The central parts of the original planet being
kept in state high compression by the superincuu-
bent weight and this COMPRISING force being removed
by the destruction othe body number oflesser frag
ments might be detached from the larger masses by
force similar TO the first. The fragments will evident
~ be thrown off with the greatest velocity, and will
always be separated from those parts which formed the
central portions of the primitive planet. When the
portions which are thus detached arrive within the
sphere of the earths attractions they may revoye round
that body at different distances, and may fall upon its
surface In consequence of diminaton of their GEN.
tnfugal Forces or, being struck by the electric fluid,
they may be precipitsted on the earth, and exhibit
all those phenomena which usually accompany the de-
scent of meteoric stones
These theories which are, indeed, but problematical

meteoric stones; and we should have been more rea
Oily excused for not saying any thing than for having
omitted to account in some manner for their pheno-

Bolts IN HORSES.

Mr. Editor Among the many good and useful things that
are discovered and by you published, would be strange if
there not some barely worth publishing and some worse
than nothing Among the last think may be numbered ma

my youth been fond of good horse have paid my atten

that folly TO wage open with bolts in horses
stomach believing that there has nothing yet discovered
that will kill them in the stomach without killing the horse
should almost think of setting fire to my barn to kin
the rats and mice Many things which you have heretofore
published, think good such bleeding prevent namma-
on Yet think the way keep the horse free

The Criminal Law of England is so severe, that
