PLASTER OF PARIS.

rIn the New York Farmer we find very good
article on the use Of Gypsum, or Plaster of Paris,
by ]. Buel, Esq., President OF the N. York Agrcul
tura Society. The FIRST portion of the article is de-
voted to regulation of some opinioas which have
been entertained as to the causes ofts fertility, such
as that of its drawing water from the atmosphere,
Sc. Hethen proceeds:
Sir II. Davy, think, has suggested the true cause
of the fertility in gypsum that it forms as necessa-
ry constituent of some plants, as few drops OF
peppermint do to a mint sling; and that, when the
soil does not contain it, in the small proportion need
ed, its application is necessary for their complete
developementand perfection, and that ii rs only use
d to such crops as yied II on analysis, and on soils
achere ii is deficient Of the plants which contain
gypsum, Sir IL. Davy has enumerated the clovers,
.nzern, sanlon and some other grasses, III which he
believes it may exist to the amount OF three or four
bushels on an acre of these plants. The turnip crop
Yields it in small quantities and if this theory is
correct Indian corn and potatoes will afford it, as
it evidently benefits these crops. de adds, that
gypsum not taken mp IN corn crops. such as wheat,
rye barley, &c. A course of experiments during
ten years. has satisfied me that these crops are moi
benefited directly, by IFS application, but often in
directly by increasing the growth of other vegetable;
which ultimately enrich the soil.
The soils which plaster most benefits, are the
poor lean sands and sand loans and its effects

HUMAN COMPASSIONATE possibility of
the spontaneous combustion of the human body has
frequently been doubted. A memoir lately read to
the Academic DIES Sciences, however, completely es.
tablishes the fact and states the following the
principle circumstances attending il, derived from
chemical aud medical observations on no fewer than
fifteen cases its occurrence. l. The greater part
OF the persons who have fallen victims to spontane
Gus combustion, have made an immoderate use Of
alcoholic liquors. 2. The combustion is almost al
ways general, but sometimes is only partial. 8. 1t
is much rarcr among men than among women. There
is but one case OF the combustion OF girl, seventeen
years OF age, and that was only partial, 4. The
body and the vscera are invariably burnt, while the
feet, the hands, and the top of the skull, almost all
ways escape combustion. .. Although II requires
several laggots to burn common corps, incarceration
takes place in these spontaneous combusons with
out any effect on the most bustbe matters in the
neghbourhood. In an extraordinary instance of 4
double combustion operating on two persons in one
room, neither the apartment nor the furniture was
burnt 6. 1t has not been at all proved that the pre-
sence of an infaHed body is necessary to develope
!, spontaneous combustions. T. Water, so far from
extingulshlng the fame, to give it more activ
