SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.

OZONE. Since the publication of Dr. Birds
letter,in which he attributes cholera to the ozone
in the atmosphere, the question is continually oc-
curing, "what is ozone:" an inquiry to which
the standard works on chemistry afford no an
swer 1t is to Professor Schonbein, the discov-
erer OF gun Cotton, that we are principally in
debted for what is known upon the subject
When series of electric sparks are passed
through confined portion OF air peculiar odor
Is observed, and it is found to possess chemical
properties not belonging TO common air. The
same phenomena are observed when water is de-.
composed by the gavanic circuit, but they are
most strikingly exhibited when phosphorus is ex-
posed in a vessel OF moist air.
What ozone really is does not appear to be
satisfactorily determined Berzelius regarded it
as peculiar condition OF oxygen. 1t is well
known TO all familiar with chemistry, that some
elements are capable OF assuming two conditions,
and possess properties in one state that they do
not in the other. Berzeius considered that
ozone was no peculiar element or combination,
but modified (allotrOpic) condition OF oxygen
produced by electricity or other cause. Schon-
bein, on the other hand asserts it TO be peroxide
OF hydrogen, (water is the protoxide OF hydrogen,
and is composed OF eight parts OF oxygen and one
Of hydrogen-the peroxide is sixteen parts OF the
former to one Of the lalter,) and the majority OF
those who have investigated the subject adopt
this view.
Whatever may be the real nature of ozone, il
possesses striking characteristics the principal OF
which is its oxidizing power, it being the most
remarkable oxidizing agent yet discovered. Sill
yer in finely divided state is rapidly converted
into oxide when exposed In an ozonized atmos-
phere. 1t possesses powerful bleaching proper
ties. destroying vegetable colOrs with energy
In this particular il resembles chlorine and like
that element, it produces catarrhal affections
when inhaled.
The most delicate test for the presence of ozone
is paper charged with weak solution of sui
phate OF manganese. This becomes brown when
exposed to its action.
According TO Schonbein, ozone is always pres
ent in greater or less quantities In the atmos
phere, being produced by the electrical dischar-
ges which are continually taking place. The
state OF the atmosphere is shown by the rapidity
with which the test paper becomes changed

+, CIRCAssIAN SLAVES. In a moral point OF
view, all slave traffic is Of course oJious and rep
rehensible, but that Of Circassa differed from 9th
er commerce of the kind, in so far that all par
ties were benefited by, and consenting 10 the
contract The Turks obtained from Caucasus
handsomer and healthier wives than those born
in the harem; and the Circassian beauties were
delighted to exchange the poverty and toll of
their fathers mountain huts for the luxurious far
niente OF the seragIio, OF whose wonders and de-
lights their ears were RECALLED from childhood up
wards, with The most glowing description. The
trade, although greatly impeded and very hazar.
dous, still goes on. Small Turkish craft creep
up to the coast, cautiously evading the Russian
cruisers, enter creeks and inlets, and are drag
ged by the Crcassians high and dry upon the
beach there TO remain till the negotiation for
their live cargo is completed, an operation that
generally takes few weeks. The women sold
are the daughters OF serfs aud freemen: rarely
does work consent to dispose of his sister or
daughter, although the case does sometimes oc-
cur, But whilst the sale goes on, the slave ships
are anything but secure Itis small matter to
have escaped the Russian frigate and steamers
Each OF the kreposts possesses little squadron
OF row boats, manned with Cossacks, who pull
along the coast in search OF Turkish vessels. If
they detect one, they land in the night and en-
deavor TO set fire to it, before the mountaners can
come TO the assistance OF the crew. The Turks,
who live in profound terror of these Cossaek
coast guards, resort to every possible expedient
to escape their observation; often covering their
vessels with dry leaves and boughs, and tying
ar branches to the masts, that the scouts may
take them for trees II they are captured at sea
by the cruiser the crew are sent TO hard labor in
Siberia, and the Circassan girls are married 10
Cossacks, or divided as handmaidens amongst the
Russian staff officers. From thirty to forty slaves
compose the usual cargo OF each OF these vessels,
which are so small that the poor creatures are
packed almost like herrings IN a barrel. But
they patiently endure the misery Of the voyage,
IN anticipation TO the honeyeu existence of the
harem. 1t is calculated that one vessel out of six

WESTERN PoLIrIcs. A traveller writing

s'Since leaving home have seen good many
people, and have fallen in with who were
glad to talk. Free Sellers have the principles
that will carry them through, and they know it,,
therefore, they are free TO exhibit them. l have

language
ssThe planets are retained in their orbits be-
cause two opposite forces exactly balance each
other. But modern astronomy has proved that
there is power at work destroying their BAL
ance. From observations made on the retarded
return of Encke's comet, and its gradual approx
imation to the sun, we learn the existence OF
fluid. an ether, which, however subtle, tends to
diminish the centrifugal force and add to the at
traction of the sun. However slowly it may ap-
proach, we may yet contemplate the day when
this present SYSTEM shall pass away; not, how
