INJURY TO THE KENNEBEC DAM
Correspondence Of TIE n. Y. Tribune.
AUGUSTA Me- Monday. June II, 1855.

Correspondence Of TIE n. Y. Tribune.
AUGUSTA, Me, Monday, June II, 1855.
A serious breach was made in the Kenlebec
Dam at this place on Saturday last, which viii
cause much Inconvenience aud loss TO large por-
ton of our manufacturing community. The breach
con mtnced on Friday night, aud Oh Saturday was
increased 20 such an extent as to completely carry
away portion of the western part of the old
section of the dam, Of about 100 feet in length, aud
drain the large pond above the dam This will cause
a serious delay 10 the operations OF the various
mills, machine-shops grist-ml, &c, dependcat on
the dam for motive power. The cotton factory also
is in the same dilemma. Ii is but day or two
since full cargo of cotton arrived but it viii be
some three or four months at the least before the
injury to the dam can be repaired and the spndles
again set in motion.
We have had considerable rain here the past
week, and tie grass looks finely, although consid-
erably winter-killed in places. The apple crop
promises to be large, SO far as my observation
extends Z.

THE POPULATION or Russia.

To The Editor Of The n. y. Tribune
SIR: In the tables OF statistics the territory and
population OF Russia, published in THE TRIBUNE Of
the lst inst, there are statements which ordinary
readers will not understand, and which, If left
therein given will result in undue depreciation Of
the real extent Of the Empire.
The statement alluded to gives the area in square
geographical mules. Now a square geographical
mile is equivalent to .3267 square English miles, it
necessarily results that the computed on such
basis would seem fall far short ofthe actual area The
fact is-the statement should have explained that
square German geographical miles were those in
Which the figures are given; and of these each is
equivalent 10 2l.2325, nearly 2ll square English
miles. Such a notification would have prevented oil
mistakes.
Tie figures given as geographical square miles are
for European Russia 100 429 46, for Asiutic Russia
247, 716 IS, and for Russian America p ga 33otai
1884 p. Multiply each of these sums by 2l1 AMI
you have the areas in square English miles.
The difference between the German and English
square miles will be better appreciated when seen in
ju1taposition, as follows:

From these figures it will be seen that an empire
twice and half the area OF the United States has
been represented territory of less extent than the
two new Territories Of Nebraska and Kansas, and
that where the density has been represented at 74
il in reality only little more than eight to the square

lEoRLAsISG rHE SIZE OF FLowEAs.-A
horiicuItrst OF the suburbs Of Versailles,
in studying tie physiology of the vegetable
kingdom, conceived the idea that the small
ness Of certain plants-the violet, for ex,
ample-was owing to an atmospheric press.

Having fixed this idea in his mind, the flor

into practice. Providing himself with

it into the air, having attached 10 it a siiken

wonderful results, in the shape Of violsts

Ill pressly for families, delicate and appro-
pirate food for all seasons, and one of the most
economical, nutritious, and wholesome prepare
tons brought TO the table, eminently COM
bining the qualification of the palate with ample
and heathful sustenance of the body.
Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina is neither
stringent nor laxative, but restorative, strengen-
ing the digestive and absorbent system. In dis
ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even in
cases OF cholera, when food is deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckers' Farina cannot fail TO
be salutary; and wherever known is extensively
used in hospitals and private practice. The pres
ervation Of health or the prevention of sickness
is al least as important the curing of disease.
People in health should therefore use Hsckers'
Farna freely, as common food, 10 preserve the in
estmable blessing.
