PLANE MEASUREMENT.

To find the area of circle: Multiply half
the circumference by half the diameter and
the product will be The area.
To find The circumference ola circle from
diameter: Multiply The diameter by %
and divide by 7; or, TO be more exact, null
tiply the diameter by 500 and divide by ! 33.
To find the area of triangle: Multiply
the base by the perpendicular height, and
take half the product for the area.
To find the area of an oval: Multiply the
longest diameter by the shortest, then null
tiply the product by the decmel 1857.
NorE.-The first problem above is found
by the theorum Of the triangle, for suppose
The circle to be regular polygon of an
indefinite number of sides, then the sum of
The sides will be the perimeter or circum.
ference ofthe circle, consequently the ra.
dius or semi.diamcter of the circle, will be
the altitude, and the perimeier or The base
ofthe triangle, therefore the area of the
circle will be one half the circumference
multiplied by one half the diameter, or one
half the circumference multiplied by the ra-
dius. Euclid was the discoverer Of this rule.

SCIENTIFIC MEMORANDA.

There are many well known phenomena
applicable on galvanic principles. Porter
has more lvel y taste from pewter or
silver cup, than from glass one; in the
former case the moisture of the under lip,
the metallic cup and the porter form a sim
pie gavanic circle, which gives rise to the
peculiar taste.
Silver spoons are blackened in eating
boiled eggs-here a galvanic circle is
formed by the silver, the sui phur, the saline,
or saltish matters contained in the egg; in
which case the sui phur combines with the
silver, forming blacksh compound, called
suphuret of silver.
Iron ratings are generally fastened into
stone, by means of lead, and the iron al
ways corrodes first. at the junction of the
lead and iron with the stone; in this case,
the moisture together with the Two metals,
form galvanic circle, in which the iron is
The most oxidisable metal, and is the most
rapidly corroded.
If piece of gold or silver leaf be brot
between the poles of powerful galvanic
battery, when in operation, they are in.
sianily consumed! the former giving out a
splendid white light Hinged with blue, and
the latter a brilliant green of the emerald
tint, and the light is still more intense than
hat from gold; copper burns with blush
white light, throwing off red sparks; lead
gives vivid purple. The light given of
when small pieces of charcoal are subsiited
for the metallic leaves, is equal in brilIancy
to that of the sun, and the heat is greater,
perhaps, than from any other artificial
source.
If a person place his tongue between a
piece of silver and piece of zinc, and
and bring the outer edges of these in con-
tact, he will perceive peculiar taste, and
in the dark will see flash of light.
The transition of solid carbonic acid
into gass deprives all around it of carbon
so rapidly and to so great an extent that q
degree of cold is produced immeasurably
great, the greatest indeed known.
Beauty says Lord Kaimes, is dangerous
property, tending to corrupt the mind of a
wife, though it soon loses its influence over
the husband. A figure agreeable and en-,
gagng, which inspires affection without
the inebriety oflove, is much safer choice
The graces lose not their influence like
beauty. At the end of thirty years, a vir.
tuous woman, who makes an agreeable
companion, charms her husband perhap:
more than at first. The comparison OF
love to fire holds good in one respect, that
the fercer it burns the sooner il is exlin,
guished.
Virtue is study principle, and gives
stability 10 everything else; though while
good men live in giddy and rolling world
they must in some measure feel its uncer
! tain motions Sherlock.

CURIOUS FACTS IN NATURAL
HISTORY

About the year 174S, some laborers in
working quarry in the neighborhood Of
Princeton, N. J. for the stone with which
the college is built, discovered cavern
which contained the entire skeletons of an
immense number of the Rattlesnake Zero.
talus) The bones were in such quantities
as TO require two or three carts for their
removal. There can be no doubt that this
cavern had once small opening, which
was afterwards closed by The accidental
fall Of a stone or some other impeachment.
This had probably been the winter abode
of the rattlesnake for years, where many
had died through age, and others in conse.
quence of the circumstances just mentioned.
NJ. Humboldt, in the third volume of his
Personal Narrative, hints at an occurrence
somewhat similar to the above. 81 had
visited the caverns Of the Harris, those of
Franconia, and the beautiful grotto OF
Treshemienseiz, in the Carpaihian noun.
