HOW a Man Freezes to Death.

NJ. Pouchet lately read an interesting paper on
this subject before the French Academy OF
Science. The authors inferences are as fol-
lOWs;-
l. That the first phenomenon produced by
cold is a contraction of the capillary vessels to
such an extent that globule OF blood cannot
enter. These vessels, therefore, remain COM
pletely empty.
2. The second phenomenon IS an alteration OF
the blood globules, which amounts TO their
complete disorganZation.
3. Every animal completely frozen Is abso'
lutey dead, aud no power can reanimate IT,
a. When only part is frozen, that part Is de-
stroyed by eangrene.
5. If the part frozen is not extensive, and
only few disorganiZed blood globules pass
into circulation, the amin al may recover.
g. But II, ON the contrary, the frozen part Is
of considerable extent, then the mass of altered
globules brought into the circulation when the
part IS thawed rapidly kills the animal.
4 For this reason a half-trozen animal may
live long time, If maintained in this condi-
ton, since the altered globules do not get into
the circulation, but it expires rapidly as soon
as the frozen part is thaWed.
&. ln all cases Of congelation, death IS due to
the alteration of the blood globules, and not to
any effect on the nervous system.
8. 1t results from these facts that the less
rapidly the frozen part is thawed, the more
slowly altered globules find their way into the
circulation, and the greater the chances of the
recovery OF the animal.

The DaAmios of Japan.

The London and China Telegraph says:-
Among the several daimios who are becOm-
ing known to fame, Satsuma and Choshiu
occupy the foremost rank: and, owing TO the
great interest now taken IN japanese politics,
their names have already become familiar IN
our mouths as household words The notO-
riety acquired by the last-named Prince is indeed
of a somewhat unenviable character being
derived chiefly from a series of unfortunate
collisions with foreign powers and from the
prominent part taken by him against the late
Tycoon, or, more properly, ShogOon, in the
civil war which we may suppose has just
been terminated by the death OF that potentate
AT present we know so little of the personal
character OF Choshiu that the opinions which
have been baZarded regarding the motives of
his apparently unreasonjng acts of aggression
against the treaty powers, and his successful
rebellion against the Shiogoon's supremacy, are
perhaps premature; and 1t may be that, on
establishing closer relations with this prince,
we shall find he has been more sinned against
than SHINING and shall, therefore, have reason
70 form q more favorable estimate OF his
character
"Of Satsuma however, we have had better op-
portunities OF judging. Our acquaintance with
him could not well have commenced in more
inauspcious manner than it did, but whatever
yengetul feelings the unhappy fate OF llr. Rich.
ardsOn naturally excited were soon subdued by
the reflection that, after all, Satsuma himself
could not Justly be held personally responsible
for the outrage The gallant bearing of the de-
tenders of Kagosima during the operations that
followed could not fail to win our respect; and
the spirit OF true charity and unreserVed for
giyeness since evinced by the daimio would
have done honor to any Christian prince. The
cordiality of his invitation TO Sir Harry Parkes
10 visit Kagosima, and the unbounded hospi-
tallty received there by Sir Harry and his COM
panions, are not the only evidences of this. A
still more valuable testimony is contained in
the statement OF the three survivors from the
rocky shores Of Satsuma's domain: The Prince
was n ost kind to us, supplying us with clothes
and whatever else we required. We were
never without guards, and wherever we went
we were treated kindly. We cannot Iefraiu
from testifying our sincere thanks for the kind
manner in which we were treated, which We
shall ever bear in remembrance. II is to be
hoped that measures will be taken to let Prince
Satsuma know that the gratitude expressed in
the simple words of these poor sailors is fully
shared in by their countrymen.n kSst

sequently on the morning of the l4th. In the
course of thirty minutes he counted eighty-one
stars in about one-fourth of the heavens, the

minutes past that hour he only counted forty
five stars. Most of them came down diverging
