"A now line OF German steamships will soon
be established between tho Prussiau port of
Stettin and the port Of New York. The pre-
liniinaiy details have already been arranged.
and in few months two steamships of the limo
will begin their trips. Stettin is the capital of
tho Province Of Pomerania, and is one OF the
most important OF the Prussian ports. & It is
situated on the Oder, eighty miles from Berlin,
with which it is connected by railroad. When
direct intercourse IL established between Stat
tin and New York. it will doubtless result in a
great increase OF our commercial relations
with that part Of Germany. Not only will ad-
ditional facilities be furnished for commerce,
but also for emigration; and the inhabitants or
the Baltic Provinces will be enabled to take
their departure for AmerIca without the ne
oesaity Of the long and expensive railroad Jour

!. DIR. Nichpfsr editor or the Journal of
Chemistry, aud q scientific writer OF some re.
pute, expresses the opinion that the cool aver
age temperature Of the summer just past is
due to the presence of spots on the sun. Dur
Ing both juno and August unusually large
spots we're visible upon our luminary, and
both these months were much cooler than
tho average. What is the nature of tho
spots, or dark patches referred to, even
scientific men are in complete ignorance,
but they are known to be OF immense area,
for some OF them have been accurately
measured. During certain years the whole
equatorial region OF tho sun has been
crowded with these shots. several Of them COW

amount Of heat rays coming from the sun to

carefully studied these spots. and thinks he
has discovered at least this much about them,
that their variation is confined. to period
