FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY &c, 1858.
THE FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

THE FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
At the last sitting NJ. Ste. Claire Devilie
read a letter from NJ. de Verneuil, who wrote
from Naples to state hat Mount Nesuvius
was, on the 9th, emitting torrents OF vapor
from two mouths, one in the centre OF the
plateau and the other ut the foot OF a little
cone living TO the east. The former IS stated
in the letter to be an abyss fifty inches 10 d.
ameter, crowned with three oonical eminen
ces, and terminating in an oriice about eight
meters in diameter, whence the smoke issues
continuously, though at times larger vol
umes arc emitted By puffs. accompanied with
fragments Of rocks. When such pufs occur
the bottom Of the abyss is filled with red va
pors, which an ordinary spectator would
mistake for flames. The writer adds that
about three weeks before the above date three
streams of lava had descended into the Afro
del Cavalio, and that the Punta del Palo is
no longer distinguishable from the rest OF the
plateau. Nj. Deville here took occasion t.
remark on the numerous changes when
the table land of Vesuvius had undergone
since 1855, and especially on the obhteration
of the Punta d,l Palo, and OF q vast circular
excavation which occupied the centre OF the
plateau.
NJ. Ellie de Beaumont here stated that
when he visited Mount Vesuvius the Punta
del Palo was the highest point Of the circun-
ference Of the crater, while NJ de Ssussure,
in 1872. found the highest point in a position
Numerically opposite to that OF the PuDta
del Palo. Such variations in the situation
of the highest point of the crater he had al
so observed on Mount Ena.
DR.. Guyon sent in various colored draw
ings of the state Of the body and viscera un-
der the influence Of yellow fever. DR.. Guyon,
having studied that disease for many years
10 America, had visited Lisbon during the
late invasion, where be had caused the draw
ings 10 question to be executed. lie chiefly
called the attention of the Academy to a new
fact exempllfed in bis drawings, viz: the
color assumed by the liver, which at the
same time tends to degenerate into a fat y
substance.
NJ. Rsynaud, Director Of the Lighthouses
of France, and NJ. Degrand, civil engineer,
presented an account of a series OF expert
ments undertaken to ascertain the compare
tive distances at which col9red lights are
perceptible. From thes, experiments it az
pears that q red light is seen from a gr alter
distance than o white or any other light,
while blue aud greco are the least percepti-
Bile. This fact, which it appears had not yet
been observed, 10 Of considerable importance
to navigation.
MIR. Page. a captain in the Unitad States
service, sent in several maps compiled by
him during a voyage of discovery he under
took in 1855 on board the Waterwltch TO the
South American seas.
Nj. Leverrier communicated o letter from
NJ. 9. BrubDs, of Berlin, announcing the dis
covery of a new comet, being the first OF
1858, on the 18th instant, at 9 P. NJ.
