also seems to border on the regions Of the
absurd.
It. is believed by philosophers that the
earth's equatorial diameter is greater than it's
polar Misunderstanding 30 miles !; and that
''the centre Of gravity is the point where
these dianeters intersect. Then from either
pole towards the equator is uphill. The Mis-
sippi runs in that direction, and consequently
runs up hill.
Some may think to explain this by the un-
evf mess Of the earth's surface. II cannot
however be thus explained. If the difference
between the equatorial and polar diameters of
the earth be thirty miles, that Of their semi
diameters is fifteen miles which will make
for IS degrees, or half the distance from one
pole to the equator, seven aud a half miles
The Mississippi passes over about 5 degrees;
and its own actual descent, estimating a little
more than three feet to the mile, amounts to
three miles. So that, if it ID explainable by
the unevenness of the surface of the earth,
its actuai descent is equal to the equatorial
swell of u niles, and it's own actual descent
Of 3 miles. Now it belongs to the l~aughable
to say its actual descent is l01 and its actual
descent is 3 miles.
What! then, docs The Mississippi run up
hN! No! Monsieur Either the equatorial
is not greater than the polar diameter Of the
earth, or the "ccntre Of gravity" il not their
point of intersection. The former | admit, the
latter | deny. ] suppose that there is not for
the earth a centre Of gravity" but circles Q,
grarity. The circle of gravity for the surface
of the earth about the equator has the great
est diameter the circles for the parts Of the
earth approaching the intersection Of its equa-
torial and polar diameters, are as infinite as
those parts and all these circles of gravity
are coz 'entric and their centres are at the
Intersection Of the equatorial and polar diane.
tcrs. The ce~ntripctal force, or tendency Of
particles to fly from the centre, produced by
the diurnal revolution of the earth, is the
principle which produces the circles ofgrapHy
If this theory Is not correct, the Mississippi

THE LsFE MEDICINES
GENERAI, REMARKS.

These medicines are indebted for their
name to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels OF life, and
enduing them with renewed tone aad vigor,
aud to the undoubtei fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suffer-
ers from the very verge Of an untimely grave,
after all the deceptive nostrums Of the day,
prescribed by physicians, had utterly failed, in
which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment Of health, without
which life itself is but a partial blessing.
