Espy Ou Rain.

The FIRST report of Professor Espy on meie-
crology has been laid on our table. Il gives
very succinct account Of his lheory of rain;
and as This is subjec, of general interest, We
shsll endeavor 10 present it in few words.
1t must be familiar 10 our readers that Pro-
sssOr Espy has, for many years. asserted that
pain can be produced by large fires. His opin.
on was verified, last summer, on several occa.
fOns, both in Pennsylvania and elsewhere
The rain began Immediately over the fire and
fzlended nearly thirty miles TO the east. while
4 nOl drop fell TO the west. Judge Catron, OF
|he u S. Supreme Court, testi6es, in the re-
|pOrl, that he saw heavy rain occasioned by
Fire in the forest on the Cumberland mountains.
Several years ago, TOO. when the woods Of N.
Jersey were on FIRE, heavy rains came up
The Indians of Paraguay have long been accus-
ioned to sci the prairies on FIRE in drought
hraing himself of this fact, Professor Espy
proposes scheme, in the report before US. BY
which The climate, SO far as il depends on rain,
nay be made more equsble. The summer
ans, he contends, are local, unlike the winter
orms This he proposes 10 remedy by the
oiOwing plan: sr
Let masses of timber 10 the amount OF for,
acres for every twenty miles be prepared and
lIed simultaneously every seven days 10 the
iummer, on the ives, Of the United States 10 a
ae Of six or seven hundred miles long from
onh TO south, then the following results seem
'ghIy probable, but moi certain until the exper'

Combat of a Monkey and n Serpent.

The following curious account of a combat
between monkey and cobra de capella, was
related 10 me by an old friend in Bengal. who
heard il from gentleman who had Witnessed
the fact at Pania, some thirty years ago. The
monkey Inhabited large banyan tree, and was
preparing TO ascend ii, when he perceived
large cobra near the root On every attempt iO
approach the trunk, the snake reared his crest
10 attack him, and. as the monkey moved OIL
the other side, the snake in like manner changed
his ground, SO as always TO intercept his ad-
vance to the Tree. The monkey on this quick
ened his ovemenis, danced from side to side,
and occasionally rushing directly at the snake
as If to seize it, kept it in state Of continual
action and alarm for nearly two hours.
At length The cobra, apparently tired out. lay
stretched on the ground. The monkey now
walked lesurely before it, watching its motions
all the time with The utmost vigilance, and grad
ually lessening the distance between them, ill
he arrived within reach of single bound.
springing on his enemy, before he had time TO
rear his head, grasped him firmly by the neck.
The snake Instantly enveloped him in his folds,
but the monkey. retaining its hold, seized
brick-bai, Ia part Of the ruins Of an old pagoda
at the foot of The tree,) and coolly set himself
10 work TO rub it agains, the head of the snake.
This operation was continued with the most
determined perseverance, till he had utterly de-
stroyed all ves!ige Of the head, reducing it to
confused mass, when, disengaging himself from
the now inert folds, he threw i. from him, and
sprang up to his wonted roos,ing place in the
tree. After this, it can scarcely be questioned.
that the monkey was not perfectly aware of the
dangerous character of the snake, and also
knew well the formidable power which his en-
emy possessed, and could in an instant put
forth his destruction. II also appears to prove
that larger animals, unlike the smaller ones,
and small birds, are incapable of being acted
upon by the power of fascination.-Msdical
