TIE WEATHER AND MIR. ESpY

Our Fellow citizen, Professor Espy, being on his
way 10 boston, with a view of explaining in a
course oil lectures, his meteorological theory, we
take occasion Of again calling attention to this SUBJ
Icct. AT present, there are compnrotiyoly few
who have given sufficient study TO the chances of
The weather, and the causes producing them. TO
know whether or not they are reducblc to scien
tho analysis and calculation. At is plain that nm
ny practical advantages would be gained if any da-
Ia could be discovered for predicting the formation
ana course OF clouds. Many years attentive oh.
serVaton Of atmospheric and nebulous variations
mas 'ed Professor Espy to the conclusion that il is
not only easy to ascertain the existence of storms
al great distances from the point of observation.
but possible with certain conditions of the mir tn
make clouds and cause rain by artificial means
Startling as the latter suggestion NAV appear the
most scepiical will bear in mind that every ores,
scientific discovery has been equally doubted a, its
hrst PRONUNCIATION. Tie philosopher will no; re-
lect theory because it is self-evidenl, or hold
as visionary that which is novel or adverse to pre-
conceived opinions. Whatever may elucidaIe or
| explain The phenomena Of nature, is an elevated
| ofahch OF study, and the world must respect the
m,ho "hlch investigates them upon the PRINCIPLES
u 'nuucuVe reasoning. 1t is on this account that
we desire that the views Of Professor Espy on tho
subject OF meteorology, should be understood and
tested by observation. The citizens of Boston
Justly noted for their devotion TO the cultivation of
noe'o' pursuits, will receive him as an ardent and
.a'iui student OF science who desires only TO Gf-
'use 'he knowledge which is the ifuA Of his own
| research.
II is worthy Of remark, that last month p,cCes.
sor EsPy, stated that a storm was raging in Tho
latitude OF Charleston. s. C. The statement, was
recorded IN one oftho insurance. offices of this cit
as The President has publicly declared. Several
days afterwards, the Southern mail brought intel.
ligence fully verifying the assertion. Tn. matter
has been eircumsiunially published in several Of
our newspapers.

Better Nems from F2orida.-rbe AIexandri,
Gazette of yesterday. contains information from
Florida, by officers of the U. S. Army, who left
there six days ago. 1t is stated that the Indians
are coming in peaceably from every quarter, and
that several hundred are now collected at Fort
hIhg. The most confident belief is entertained
by the officers of the army, that the war is IN ,eal
ny ended. murder was committed near Pco.
a'a, few days ago, but it is supposed TO have
been the work of a white man and a negro.
The Indians declare their determination TO abide
by the treaty, and their actions so far; show that
they are in earnest. Whether they will continue
IN this mind, no one can say; but We trust that
the anticiputons Of the officers will be realized. and
that we may say, at last. that there is an end of
the Florida war;

The mathematical question communicated by me
in the Herald week before last being answered
herewith forward an answer to the same, which
is 1919 deg. al min, or 206S955 miles would be
the distance between the ships, which answer was
required.
In the solution Of this question ! supposed the
ship il to sail continually on an arch of a great
circle Of the sphere, in which case it would not
continue to sail N. w. but would, after sailing
$50 days, return to the same point from whence
It started. If however, it were TO sail continually
N. W. or any other course not being one OF the
cardinal points of the compass it would describe
on the globe curve which does not return into
ITSELF but is infinitely prolonged, in spiral manner,
constantly approaching the pole without ever
reaching it. J.P.
