by THE SuN--PRoF. Primers DtscovERY.
The scientific circles at Cambridge have
been recently interested in an observation OF
Prof Pierce, not yet published, upon the
form Of the Continent, If we elevate a ter
restal globe until the Attic and Antartic cir
cles are tangent to the wooden horizon. and
then cause the globe slowly to revolve. we
shall find that a majority of the lines of Gle
walton in the oarth's crust. c.. coast lines
and mountain ranges-wll, either as they
rise or as they go down, coincide in passing
with the wooden horizon For example. the
main coast of the United States tending
northeast will, if carried on in a great circle.
Craze the Attic circle, and the coast of Flori-
da and Labrador tending northwest will Craze
1t on the other side. The same is true of the
east coasts of South America and Africa, the
coasts Of the Red sea, of Italy, OF the Black
Sea, of Hindostan, of New Iceland, &C.
The Arte and Antarhc circles are also coast
lines, being always tangent to the horizon
1t is almost impossible to oxaggerate the
Importance of this fine discovery. proving as
il does, by geological facts, that the obhuuitv
of the ecliptic has been essentially unchanged
since the dawn of creation, and that solar
heat was the agent TO carry out the COM
mand on the second day to lot the dry land
appear. The line Of separation between light
and darkness, between solar heat and the
GOODNESS Of night, travelling daily for tive
months in summer and again for two month,
in winter in such position as to coincide in
passing with the lines of uphoayal, indicates
Enthusiastically that it was connected with the
determination Of those lines the slight OK
panaion and shrinking being sufficient to de-
terlninc the line Of rupture of tho crust
From a comparison Of the forms of the con.
tinents, Professor Pierce also draws the order
of their uphoavali showing, for instance, tha
the Western Continent is older than Europe
and that the Gulf Stream, during tho second

REPoRT:
The five Moving Machines were entered
for trial at Woodstock on the 18th instant.
to witt Manny's, by d. Blake, of Wood
stock, Manny's improved, by Mr.. Spencer, of
Windsor, Aliens, by ID. A. Gill, of Spring
field also one by A. G. Dewey, of Hartford
and one by r. Daniels, of Woodstock the
two last named were not exhibited at the trial.
The first three named Machines competed un-
der the management Of the owners or agents
of each machine, and all performed the work
very well, but the Committee gave preference
to Aliens, as it cut the grass best and low
est, and appeared to be the most simple in
its mechanism, and award it the first premi-
um. The difference between Manny's and
Nanny improved, 10 not great, still on ac-
count of some improvements in the construc-
ton of the improved machines, but for the
reasons above named, the Committee award
1t the third premium. A Reaper can be at
tached TO Manny's and Manry's improved
and cannot to Aliens, but the Committee did
not consider 1t of much importance for this
locality, where the grain crop, upon land
where Machine can be used, bears so small
proportion to the hay crop. No means
were adopted to test the draft of the machines
other than observation, but as the different
machines were nearly equal in weight, the
presumption is that there is no material diff
ference in the draft Each maohinee was tri
ed with horses and oxen, and in heavy aut
light grass Smart quick walking oxen viii
do the work as well as horses The result
of the trial, and the information of the Com
mittoe previously had in relation to the saw
ing of labor, fully satisfies them that machine
may be profitably used on very many of tn
smoothest farms in this county
There was one entry for Horse Rake, an,
that by Zenas Saunders, of West Windsor
the coil wire, on Wheels; but as the rule
of the Society require that there should be a
least three entries, the Committee did no
take into consideration the merits of this rake
