GYPsUM as A MANURE Experience
seems to h :ve established, in reference to
the use of plaster, the following conclusions:
It hus little or no effect in a marine atmns-
phere, or upon low and moist lands; il is
peculiarly adapted to light warm soils: when
used upen titled ground, it should be plough
ed in, or mingled with the earth by the har-
row or hoe; it may, however, be strewed up
on corn, potatoes or beans, Immediately af-
ter hoeiDg; its effects are much more de-
cided upon titled land, when the turf OF dres-
sing of manure has been ploughed in; when
a clover crop has been turned under, the fer.
tilizing influence of that crop is much en-.
hanced by an application of plaster immedi-
ately proceeding the ploughing.

PuRIrIcATroN or IcE.--In the language Of a
scientific writer, ice is only a re-establishment
OF the parts of water in their natural state.
The mere absence Of fire is supposed TO account
for their establishment Calico was the first
who observed that ice is lighter than the water
of which il is composed and hence the float
ing Of the ice upon the water by freezing.
These bubbles, during their production, acquire
great expansive power, so that the con-
tanning vessels are burst Ice usually forms
on the surface Of the water, but this, like
the crystalization, may be varied by an
alteration of circumstances. 1t is an impor-
tant law Of nature. that ice forms much less
rapidly below the surface than on it. IL the
freezing was equally rapid below as above, ponds
and lakes and rivers would become solid masses
Of ice. Ice is formed in layers, resembling what
is seen when a tree is cut down, denoting the
gradual growth Of the tree. In ice fifteen
inches thick, there will be found one layers,
and so on, in that proportion.
CHLoRoFoRx.-An interesting discussion re.
Gently took place in the Surgical Society Of
Paris Some of the conclusions arrived at in
respect TO the subject were--that chloroform
may cause death when it is mixed in too great
proportion with air; that it predsposes to syn
cope, and renders the latter, when 1t occurs,
more serious; chloroform is the most danger.
Gus anmsthetc, as well as the most powerful
a mixture Of il with ether being preferable, as
il then produces insensibiity quickly, and
seems to excite less reaction when choro-
form is administered, it is important to watch
attentivey both the state Of the pulse and of
the respiration.
