GYPSUM or PLASTER or PARIS has
been used for long time, for the purpose
OF fertilizing grounds. How Plaster Of
Paris acts benefclally upon the soil, has
been involved in much doubt. The ac-
ton of lime, as il is an alkaline earth, not
blended with an acid, is more readily I'M
derstood. One thing however we know,
and that is, that plaster does act most
bene6cialy upon certain soils. The
Plaster Of Paris, is compound OF sui
phuric acid or oil OF vtriol and lime. Its
chemical name is therefore, the sulphur
ale lime Ingenhouss. a chemist of great
distinction, proposed to dilute sulphuric
acid us means Of increasing the fertility
of soils. When this acid is sprinked on
cacareous soils, Plaster of Paris (sui.
phura,e of lime) is Immediately formed,
which of COURSE prevents the necessity OF
manuring the soils with the material. 100
parts of concentrated sulphuric acid di-
luted with 500 or 1000 parts Of water is
equivalent to l76 parts OF Plaster of Pa

THE FoRTIrICATloNs OF PARIs.-Ihese
stupendous works are considerably ad-
vanced. A late account states that the
immensely Of the undertaking becomes
more striking as the progress towards
completion goes On. The wall is about
thirty feet high. In front is ditch fifteen
feet deep, and fifty or sixty fee, wide
The earth displaced in digging the ditch,
is thrown into the interior Of the wall, and
forms an embankment equal to it in height.
The embankment is made fiat at the top,
and thus furnishes a level surface, giving
ample room for placing cannon or soldiers.
Independent. of the great wall, there are
several detached forts on various heights
around the city. These works are estl-
mated to cost four hundred millions of
! francs.
The project of certifying Paris in this
elaborate manner was started some years
ago when there was some prospect OF q
general war in Europe. The French
Capital having been twice occupied by
hostile troops during the wars of Napo-
leon, the sensitive parisians wished to a
vert the probability Of such disgrace
again, in the event Of war. Hence the
idea of these vast notifications. Ii is
shrewdly suspected, however, that the
works, when finished, will be found avail
able, in the hands of vigorous monarch,
for holding the people Of Paris in check,
as well as for repeiling foreign enemy.
