"a would pass in time,) Understanding then tina
the momenta of moving bodies, of different guam
titles, acted upon by the same force, though at diff
lerent velocities are as the spaces through which
they are impelled, while their motion is being com,
munca'ed; we find if A in the figure acquire, by the
expansive force of the spring momentum Ave,
that L or "a will only acquire, in time a momen-
tum Ave, Hence an expansive force, as Of ig-
nlied powder. operating on unequal bodies in con-
verse ratio 10 their quantities of matter
1t is true that this conclusion is on the prcsump-
ton that the expansive pressure is uniform in in
tensily throughout the whole extent of its eSpan-
sion. But nasmuch as at every point of the ex-
pansion, the expansive force is distributed 10 the
unequal bodies A and L in the ratio Of their vc-
loclles, which are constantly as to 2, it can make
no difference in the ratio of the amounts Of the
momenta received by A and T., however much the
intensity of the expanding force may vary at dif-
leren points of expansion,
From all the above we arrive at the following
conclusions, viz; That unequal bodies acted upon,
or put in motion by the same expanding force, will
receive a velocity inycrsely as their quantities of
matter Tha: their momenla will be in the same
ration as their veocilios, and us the square of their
vclocics multiplied into their quantities of matter.
Thus-lel the gun be 200 and the shot TO- then
will their veocities be as 200 to 10; or if the
ocity of the shot be 200 that of the gun will be TO-
Again, the momona Of the shot and gun will be as
200 to TO- or as 2O02 X 10 = 100000 to lO2 y
200 10000, or as 20 10 l.
Ifthe above remarks shall induce an investigation
of the subject. and lead TO a correction Of what
believe to be errors universally received, my object
will be answered, and shall be happy a, II suisse

Let compressed spring D, c, d, in the figure,
represent the expansive force OF powder when ig-
niled, acting on two unequal bodies a and +, and
let it be supposed that The spring, when expanded,
will extend from toe. Let the splng be divided
into two equal parts and confined at c. Permit
ting now each part TO act simultaneously, il is cy-
den, that the smaller body a, will reach the point
a, before the larger body T., will reach the point e,
force acting, TO remove the larger body l. from T.
to c, than to remove the smaller body \ from A to
a. Hence the moiey q of the spring, will cypcnd
all its force on the body A, before the moiety u
will have expended all its force on the body T.;
hence, if at the instant the moiety b is expanded,
the confinement at G. be removed, then will por-
ton of the expansive force of the moie,y ID he ex-
pended on the body A. But if the spring be moi
confined at all at c, still greater force will be
communicated to A, and consequently a will re-
celyc the greater momentum.
A rule for calculating the momcnta of unequal
bodies which receive their motion simultaneously,
by the same expansive force, is dcduced from the
following considerations.
Let the grayilaiion or free descent Of body - a
through a space -, communicate velocity ~,
then will its momentum = Ara But let an equal
force be communicated to body T., (Which we
will consider equal 10 "a then will also have
momentum =Ara, and velocity found as fol-
lows: Let Vt the velocity sought. Then Ere

Now the velocity of "a being less than that of A,

force acting. to communicate the momentum Avg,

me fUOftSHeTS " -.
The object Of this communication is to call at
ten,ion 10 some supposed errors which are found
in most of our elementary books on Physics or
Natural Philosophy.
Taking the terms in their usual ncceptntion, we
notice in the first place, under the head Of "mo.
mentum, or force of moving bodies the following
the velocity, and m = the momentum of body
in molten; then will qp=m.' This is incorrect;
it should qr9=m. For the measure of the momen-
tum of any body in motion, is the force necessary
to produce that motion from state of rest, or to
bring the moving body to state of rest when in mo-
ton; & the only ineligible or applicable measure Of
force or power, is its equivalent in gravity through
some definite space perpendicuarly 10 the earth's
surrace-or lie equivalent in definite weight, de-
scending through definite space, irrespective Of
velocity. For the same power is expended and force
communicated, by the descent Of l0O'bs. through
10 feet perpendicular space, whether the velocity
be l inch or foot per secondhand ii requires no
more power TO raise lOOlbs. through 10 feet per-
pendicular space in seconds, than il does 10 5
hours. know ,ba, i, is usual to speak of velocity
in mechanics, as that {" horse power is eouiya-
lent to the raising Of - tons, foot per minute ~
vet this is for the purpose determining the amount
of power expended during any given time, and is
therefore perfectly consonant with the foi egoing
measure Of power

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

A friend has handed us a recent number of
the GazsHe des DeUr lNondes, of Paris, from
which We translate tie following:--
''Some days ago Baron Dupolet presented
to the Academy of Medicine Deaf Mute, 10
years of age, whose speech and hearing he
had restored by magnetic process. The
Academy Immediately appointed commits
sion to inquire into the truth of the factwhich
threatens to overinrn all previous notions of
science. Their report is looked for anxiously.
"Since that time the Baron submitted to his
process deaf mute of the age OF years. A
certificate of member of the Academy of
Medicine proves that the child was both deaf
and dumb from its birth. The miraculous
process of the Baron was evident, for at the
end of three sittings the child heard and re-
peated every word pronounced in its pres
ence. We have seen this ourselves.
"Assurances have oeen given us, which we
dare not doubt, that the Baron has cured 10

Gen. HARRISON had become daily more and
more impressed with religious feelings, al
ways treating serious things seriously, and
showing himself mindful of his future &C.

stated that, for many months past, he has new
or omitted the reading of The Scriptures every
night before retiring TO rest, however harrass-
ed by company, or worn down by fatigue

he had long been deeply impressed with the

that he had not connected himself with the

The occasion affords us an appropriate on
portnnIty for republshing paragraph from
his inaugural Address, which we know has

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

A citizen Of this city, who has long been
afflicted with the gravel, has discovered,
what, in his case, is a sovereign remedy for
that distressing complaint.
Take the buds of the balm Of Gilead tree,
gathered at the time they are expanding to
form the leaf, one pint, put them in quart
bottle-fll itwth old Holland Gin; in few
daysitwill be fit for use. In ordinary cases,
one table spoonful 3 times day, taken in a
tumbler ofwater, is sufficient; i'll extreme ca
ses, increase the dose to the quantity of a
wine glass full, adding ten drops ofiaudanum;
it dissoves the gravel and he believes will
dissolve the stone. His case was an extreme
one, often requiring the aid of the cathetre.
With him, no other medicine has ever produ-
ced adissoluton and discharge Of gravel. II
it operates upon others as upon him, the dis
covery is invaluable, and the fact of his max
ing it public, justly places him upon the list
of benetdctors to the human family.

FRESH GOODS.

purchased under highly favorable circumstan-
ces, and at very reduced prices for CASH
which he is determined to sell at so small an
adcance as to make it the interest of the pub
lie to give him a share of their custom. To
enable him to do this, however, it will be in
dispensibo that he should make his sales
ENTIRELY FOR CASH, or such produce
as may suit in exchange. He wishes not
to wound the feelings of any, and he is thus
explicit, as it is his intention to open no ac-
counts.
Ee5- Persons at distance, who were for
merly in the habit of dealing in this place,
are earnestly invited to give him a call, as
he is satisfied he can make it an object to
them to make their purchases Of him, if they
have only few dollars 10 expend. He as
sures them there shalt be no deception. His
GROCERIES, he thinks, will compete with
any TO be found in the State.
E- To his old friends and customers ),
one and all, he returns his sincere thanks for
their former patronage, and he would say TO
them come and see for yourselves. He be-
lieves that most people are sick and tired Of
the credit system, and he fatters himself that
il is only necessary tn examine his Goods and
prices to satisfy all, that he could not afford
TO charge them to any one.
