Lens Fires.

DIR. H. G. BOLTON, of Columbia Col
lege, New York city, states that on a re-
cent occasion, at 8 A. NJ, on entering his
laboratory he found a wooden table on
fire, ignition having been occasionel by
the rays of the morning sun. which fell
upon glass spherical flask containing wa
ter. The flask served as a lens which con-
tracted the rays and set fire to the wood.
The author also alludes to the statement
of Lactantius A. ID. 300) who mentions
the use of glass globes, filled with water,
in kindling fires; while Pliny recon-
mends the use of lenses for the purpose
of cauterizing the flesh of sick persons.
As to the latter, one Mr.. Barnes, of Con-
necticut, took patent in this country
some five years ago for the use of lenses
for the purpose suggested by Pliny.
In respect to fires occasioned by lenses,
doubtless there are many examples. 1t
Is well known that vessels at sea have
been set on fire by the bullseye glasses
used to admit light between decks. These
were formerly made convex on one side,
thus forming powerful lenses. In con-
sequence of the loss of property and dan
ger, their use has been discontinued, and
thick plates of glass, fiat on both sides,
have been generally substituted.
Captain Scoresby and DIR. Kane used to
astonish the natives of the polar regions
by taking blocks of clear ice, and cutting
them into the form Of lenses, with which
they instantly kindled fires.-Seientifc

The First Daily Newspaper.

THE first daily newspaper ever published
was the Co,uant. 1t appeared Ia London
on the 18th of March, 1702. 1t was curl
osity, about the size of half a sheet of
foolscap-paper, printed only upon one
side, containing neither editorials, locals,
court news, political matter, advertise
ments, nor English intelligence of any
kind whatever.
"This Conrant," says the publisher, ''as
the Title shows, will be published daily,
being designed to give all the Material
News as soon as every Post arrives, and
Is confined to halfthe Compass to save the
Public at least half the Impertinences Of
ordinary Newspapers"
Six weeks after the first issue the pub
Usher announced In his largest type that
the project had been $50 Successful, that
hereafter both Sides would be prii lied"
The appearance of over column of adj
vertisements i'm the same number is suf-
ficient endorsement of the statement, and
from that time the Coarant increased In
prosperity. Every newspaper has its
leading feature, and that claimed by the
Courant was foreign intelligence. Three
months after its first appearance the fol-
lowing notice found conspicuous place
in its columns, which leads to the belief
that newspaper publishers were much the
same in those days as now as regards the
dishing-up of news from abroad: at
will be found from the Foreign Prints
which, from Time to Time, a. Occasion
offers, will be mentioned in this Paper,
that the Author has taken Care to be duly
furnished with All that comes from
Abroad in any Language. And for an
Assurance that he will not, under Pre-
tense of having Private Intelligence, i'm
pose any Addition of feign'd Circumstan-
ces to an action, but give his Extrat is
fairly and >impartially, at the Begin
ming of each Article ne will quote the
Foreign Paper from which Ills taken, that
the Publick, seeing from what Country
Piece of News comes, with the allowance
Of that Government, may be better able to
judge of the Credibility and Fairness OF
the Relation. Nor will he take upon him
to give any Comments or Conjectures Of
his own, but will relate only Matter OF
Fact, supposing other People to have
Sense enough to make Reflections for
Themselves"

Antarctic Regions.

A SINGULAR, and IL deed fallacious, ar.
gument has been advanced by Captain
Maury in favor of the theory that the
Antarctic regions are occupied by great
continent. alt seems to be physical ne
cessity," he argues, "that land should not
be autipodal to land. Excepta small por-
ton of South America and Asia, land is
always opposite to water. Mr.. Gardner
has called attention to the fact that only
one twenty-seventh part of the land Is an
tipodal to land. The belief is, that on the
polar side of 20 degrees north we have
mostly water, not land. This law of dis
tribution, so far as it applies, Is In favor of
land in the opposite Zone." Surely a
weaker argument has seldom been adj
vanced on any subject of scientific specu-
lation. Here is the syllogism: We have
reason to believe Though we are by no
means sure) that the Arctic regions are
occupied by water land is very seldom
found to be antipodal to land: therefore,
probably, the Antarctic regions are occu-
pied by land. But it is manifest that,
apart from the weakness of the first
premise, the second has no bearing what
ever on the subject at isse, if the first be
admitted for we have no observed fact
tending TO show that water Is very seldom
antipodal to water, which would be the
sole law to guide us In forming an opin-
ion as to the regions antipodal to the sup
posed Arctic water. On the contrary, we
know that water is very commonly antip-
odal to water. We have only to combine
what is known respecting the relative
proportions of land and water on our
globe, with Mr.. Gardeners statement that
twenty-six out of twenty-seven parts Of
the land are antipodal to water, to see
that this must be so. There are about 81
millions of square miles of land and about
146 millions of square miles Of ocean
Now about 40 millions of square miles are
antipodal to water, accounting, therefore,
for only 40 millions ont of the 146 mil.
lions of square miles of ocean surface the
remaining 81 millions Of square miles o.
ocean are, therefore not antipodal to land
but one half (any we please) antipodal tc
the other half. In fact, we have this rather
singular result, that the ocean surface Of
the globe can be divided into three nearly
equal parts, of which one Is antipodal tC
land, while the other two parts are antip
od4l to each other. This obviously does
not force upon us the conclusion that ar
