THE TIDES OF TAHITI.

BY PRoFswM. FERREL OF THE U. 5. COAST SURVEY.
In 1855 the u. 5. Coast Survey took advaD-
tage Of the surveying expedition under charge OF Capt
(now Conmodore) John Rodgers to obtain series or
tidal observations the Island of Tahiti in the Pacific
self-regisering tide gauge was sent by the Coast
Survey and left by the expedition in the hands OF
French soldier at the town OF Papeetee that island
By this means series of observations nearly complete
was obtained from June to Oct. 1. These were re-
duced by the Coast Survey published in the report
of 1864 The great peculiarly Of these tides

METEOROLOGICAL NOTES.

BY PROF. u. srrLrMAN or NEW-HAVEN.
The subject which he proposed to treat was
the teurc of Colorado. The rocks are principally
gnessic and granite with Of fedspar or quartz
At the place where the mineral Is found there is re-
markabe dyke OF 50 feet in thickness 1t Is on the side
OF this dyke that the mineral containing the little known
substance telurum is found. Prof. Sllliman showed
the evidence that the teurium was introduced by the
plutonc invasion OF this dyke He had found In many
instances that telluric oras were associated with
gold and the association very unfortunate
for the gold miner, as IN one instance
5000 worth OF gold thus associated was thrown away
while the yield of the rest or the
only $40 $50 to the ton. Prof Sillman asked
Prof Endlch 10 perform an experiment, showing the
presence OF telurum by using concentrated suphuric
acid. bright purple color rapidly obtained when
the ore thus treated with heat In test tube. In
one specimen Of these telurc ores there was s500O
extracted from ton. Specimens OF teluric ores were
exhibited and Prof. Siman mentioned that these and
many other very valuable specimens, now the property
OF the Smithsonian Institution were procured IN Prof

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Disagreeable weather, of
which this city has recently had more than its
share tended to reduce the audience to-day at the
Smithsonian Institution. The subjects discussed
did not equal in general interest those of yesterday
but they had at least the merit of bringing
forward some novelties in scientific discovery. The
statements of Prof Ferrel respecting the tides of
Tahiti were curious rather than important The
discoveries of Prof Gibbs of Harvard, who Is equally
noted as an original investigator, and as an editor of
The Ameriodn Journal of Science and Arts, Of com
pounds in inorganic chemistry having the character
istc of metamerism that has hitherto been unknown
except among organic substances, seems to open a
new field of research Prof. Gibbs mentioned that
he had gwen no name to his new compounds; for
which we may be truly thankful for names that
chemists are apt to indulge in when making discoy-
cries in organic chemistry are rarely limited by SIX
or seven sylables and sometimes reach dozen.
The communication from Prof. Alexander, the dis
tinguished astronomer of Princeton, suggests very
interesting though difficult inquiry. Prof. Hayden
gave glowing and rapid sketch of the explorations
in which he has been engaged, and OF the work
accomplished and under way. He was warmly
greeted by several of tho professors, who evidently
held his work in high esteem. Prof. Sillman
told of the localities of the American ores OF
tellurium-that curious substance which once on
time bold expermenter swallowed, the result
being that his friends dropped off gradually. lie
noticed after a few days that everybody seemed to
avoid him. Finally he cornered one OF them and
begged an explanation. why, the TACT 49, SAID

obscurity for some weeks, till the teurlum was out

cyclones is expected to bring ont the meteoroogiss

This brief paper merely contained a few

Prof Hilgard remarked that the postulate of this

approximate experiment-on alteration by Prof
Airy who filled telescope with water aud sent
