HOTEL FOR INV NAEEDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
Drs. speer and Kuhn.

YSTiE object Of this establishment is
n TO supply want greatly felt by re-
spectacle travellers on our western high
ways-by residents. without family, Ia
ken sick-and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
TO this place for relief from surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeable
TO the sick, and from careless and un-
faithful nurses; and been subjected 10
heavy and unreasonable charges.
lnvalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atien-
dance, snd al a rate much below The nsu-
al charges. y
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
ii is intended by DR.. Speer, to give spe-
cial attention to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches Of his profession
he has given large share of his atten-
ion for the last twenty-five years, and
he will continue TO devote to them the
experience acquired by constant prac-
tice during that time.
The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper
lment lis establishment is suggested
not only as necessary 10 supply an evi.
dent want in this city, in the entire alb
sence of any special provision for the
sick, but is warranted also by the success
Of similar institutions at Cincinnati and
New Orleans--the former under the care
OF Drs. Taiaferro. Marshall and Strader
the latter under that of DR.. Stone.
The building selected for the purpose
is situated at the corner of Federal and
Robinson streets. in Allegheny city, ad-
joining the city of Pittsburgh. 1t is
commodieus and roomy, AMI furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
the sick.
Applications for admission to be made
10 the subscribers. at their office ON Penn
street. Pittsburgh, or at the establishment.

III. THE CAUSES OF THESE CONDITIONS OF THE AT.
MosPHERE.
The principal condition Of the atmosphere during
the four periods named, and from which all the 9th
or characteristic phenomena result, is a comparative
repose This il found to exist either when the tenn
perature or PRESSURE both united, have attained
d maximum or minimum, and are about to pass
to the opposite extreme.
The ordinary condition of the atmosphere il
change, arising from difference of pressure. Ofthis
the more remote cause is change Of temperature
producing rarefacton or condemnation, and consc
quently change of density. By no fair principles Of
philosophy can the atmospheric movements be no.
ferrcd either in WHOLE even in great degree, tt
the mere rotation of the earth as the cause. Rota
ton, in an atmosphere revolving with the earth, al
the great mass Of ours does approximofsy, and as
would absoiuteiy, were not change Of tempera
ture constant disturbcr of its equilibrium can d,
no more than modify the direction and extent of tn
circulation thus originated lra
1. The diwnai changes Of temperature are accom-
panied by currents or winds, which increase and de
cline with the former, which shows how manifest,
the one depends upon the other. Night is the ne
riod Of repose. The strong night winds whel
they occur, are not exceptions to this law but be
ing in the rear Of some great storm which has jus
passed, have another origin. As the diurn,
changes Of temperature are temporary and con6ne
TO narrow limits, they produce atmospheric move
ments which, being equally limited in time and dc
gree do not very materially affect the great mass
the atmosphere.

temperature. .'.... ..... ... .....
During tho rapid cooling Of the northern hemis-
phere, through November, December, and January,
when the daily loss of heat il greater than the gain
and the rapid heating of the southern hemisphere,
in which the daily gain exceeds the loss there is
strong determination of the lower portion of the at
mospherc to flow from the north towards the south
to displace the specifically lighter air there, and Of
the upper portion to flow over from the south to-
wards the north. Thus slow circulation between
| the two hemispheres must take place. Hence the
greater prevalence Of northerly winds, in lati-
tude, during the months named, than during the
rest of the year. During the months of May, June,
! and July, the same causes, in reversed order,
ought to produce determination of the under por-
tons Of the atmosphere towards the north, and
hence the greater prevalence Of southerly winds du-
ring these months, than during any similar portion
| Of the year. E4
Now, Immediately after the minimum tempera-
ture has been attained in the northern, and the max
imum in the southern hemisphere, the southwark
determination or the great southern oscillation will
be checked, and soon begin to move in contrary
direction, by the reversal of the thermal action,
there being now slight gain Of temperature in the
NORTH and loss in the south But before this great
oscillation can take place in contrary direction,
there must be a temporary calm, analogous to
| slack water between the flow and ebb of the tide
| Accordingly, short season Of calm, mild, and
! pleasant weather is enjoyed in January in general
at or after its middle; and the month Of August Is
for it's uniformly calm and consequently
]. sultry weather. But though there be but two
great annual oscillations, they may be, and indeed
are, subject TO interruptions more or less regular,
producing the alterations in the weather which are
found to take place at the intervals Of one two and
four weeks The remarkably fine weather enjoyed
I almost every year about the Goth Of February, is
but an interrupted stage Of the great annual wave
from the south towards the NORTH in which direc-
4 ton the wave is then moving.
From the preceding reasoning, ii appears evident
that the "lndan summer" is but one Of those sea-
sons OF comparative quiescence in the atmosphere
more perect and oflonger duration than the rest bu,
bearing in it's general features close analogy to
