even bones are soluble in their gastric

their gastric juice will not dissolve ami

Espy or Rniu.


The first report OF Professor Espv on
meteorology has been laid on our table
1t gives very succinct account of his
theory of rain; and, as this is a subicc,
of general interest, we shall endeavor ,c
present it in few words.
1t must be familiar 10 our readers tina,
Professor Espy has, for many years, as.
serted that rain can be produced by large
fires. His opinion was verified, last sum
mer, on several occasions, both in Penn.
sylvanla and elsewhere. The rain began
Immediately over The fire and extended
nearly thirty miles TO the east, while no,
drop fell TO the west. Judge Calron,
of the U. S. Supreme Court, testilies, in
the report, that lie saw heavy rain oc-
casioned 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 ac-
customed to set the prairies on fire in a
drought. Awaiting himself of this fact,
Professor Espy proposes scheme, in
the report before us, by which the eli.
mate, so far as it depends on rain, may
be made more equablc. The summer
rains, he contends, are local, unlike the
winter storms. This he proposes to re-
medy by the following plan:
"Let masses of timber 10 the amount of
forty acres for every twenty miles be pre-
pared and fired Simultaneously every sew
en- days IN the summer, on the west OF
the United States in line of six or seven
hundred miles long from north TO south,
then the following results seem highly
probable, but not certain until the expert
ment is made: A ram of great length
north and south will commence near or
on The line OF fires; this rain will travel
eastward; twill not break up ill it reach
es LAT INTO The Atlantic ocean; ii will rain
only a short time in any one place it
will not rain again until the next seventh
day; 1t will rain enough and not TOO
much in any one place it will moi be at
tended with violent wind, neither on land
nor on the Atlantic ocean; there will be
no hail nor tornadoes at the time Of the
general rain, nor intermediate there will
be no destructive floods, nor will the wa.
sers ever become very low there will he
no more oppressive heats nor injurious
colds the farmers and mariners will al.
ways know before the rains when thew
will commence and when they will ter.
inmate all epidemic diseases, originating
from floods and subsequent drough,s. will
cease the proceeds OF agriculture will
be greatly increased, and the health and
happiness of the citizens will be much
promoted. These, say, are the proJa
bie-not certain--results of the plan pro
posed; plan which could be carried in
10 operation for sum which would no

amount to hall cent year 10 each in.
divldual in the U. States plan which,
! ii successful, would benefit in a hioh de-
gree not merely the landsman, but every
mariner that plies the Atlantic. If this
scheme should appear too gigantic to
commence with, let the trial be first made
along the Allegheny mountains; and let
forty acres of four ten-acre lots be fired
every seven days through The summer in
each of The counties of Mexican, Clear
field, Cambria and Somerset, in Pennsvl-
vania; Allegheny, in Maryland and Har-
dy, Pendleton, Bath, Allegheny and
Montgomery, in Virginia. The ten-acre
lots should be, as nearly as convenient,
from one 10 four miles apart in the form
of square; SO that the upmovng COL
umn Of air which shall be formed over
them may have a wide base, and thus
may ascend TO n considerable height be-
fore it may be leaned out Of The perpen-
dIcuIar by any wind which may exist at
that time.
"Ihe summer rains al present are 10.
cal, and Of very limited extent; and
though they travel towards ,he east, like
The winter storms, they are not extensive
enough TO cover the whole country /;
hence, portions Of the country are liable
TO be parched with drought and hot wea-
Their.
"May tnoi be possible that this irreg-
uariiy is in part produced by the irregu-
lar burning Of la'lows and prairies, thus
producing partial and irregular rains; in.
terrupling the wide extended and general
rains which would otherwise take place,
as they do in winter!
"Therc is al present, and will be for
many years 10 come, vast amount OF
timber cut down and burnt every summer,
in the western parts of the United States
enough, perhaps. to produce the wide en-
tended and uninterrupted rains so much
desired without any expense. Until the
government of the United States can be
induced TO carry into effect the above
plan, | earnestly recommend to all per.
sons who have fallows or other large
masses of combustibles to burn, save
them till the first very dry spell in the
summer, and to ensure simultaneous ac-
ton, let all west of west longitude 81
dogs. set fire to their materials only on a
Thursday, those west of 90 degrees in
the morning at len o'clock, and those east
OF 80 degrees al six o'clock in the even
ing; and lei all east of 81 degrees set fire
TO their materials only on Friday, those
west OF II degrees at ten in the morning,
and those east Of II degrees at six o'clock
in the afternoon; and in no case let any
lallows be burnt unless there has at least
week elapsed without rain"
Professor Espy says, that after these
general rains, partial rains cannot take
place for some time. He earnestly in.
vtes all persons, who have materials, TO
send the result of their observations TO
the Surgeon Generals Office, Washing
ton.

TIE STORM.

Dark was the night, the winds were high,
The tempest ragged around
The rising surge went foaming by
With wild and fitful sound,
That seemed to breathe, as on i, past,
"Seamen, this night shall be thy last"
A little bark, by whrlwinds .ost,
Was struggling with the deep,
That half engulphing bore it down,
Then upward made it leap,
Then on its wild and fearful course
Propelled it with resis,css force.
An hour passed by-slill ragged the storm
With undated wrath,
When 10 a stately form there moved
Along The watery path,
Around it was halo bright,
Respondent with celestial light.
"A spirit walks" the seamcn cried,
The deck they frighied fed,
When quick replied gentle voice,
"'ris |, be not afraid"
The Saviour spoke the tcmpc,, ceased!
The whirlwinds ragged no more!
And calmly rolled the angry surge
AS e'er it rolled before,
While onward in its destined course
The bars was moved by -ephyr's force.
So shall the fearful tumult cease,
That moves tue sinners breast
So shall his after course be Taught
With calm and heavenly rest,
II he but seek Sayior's ieel,
And render there the homage meet.
