Famous Mems Weaknesses.

T Ferdinand H., Grand Duke of Tuscan,
was also. it appears, the slave of his infrIni-
ties. He was often seen walking up and
down his apartment between two large
thermometers, at which he anxiously and
continually glanced, putting on skull caps,
of which he had five or sin in his hand, ac-
cording to the degree of cold or heat that
the instrument pointed towards. So, too,
with the Abbe de st. Martin, who is in the
seventeenth century was SO notorious for
his monomania. He always had nine skull
caps on his head to keep him from the cold,
and on the top Of those he put wig, which
Of course was never by any chance in its
proper position ! More than this, he wore
nine pair of stockings one oyer the other j;
his bed was of brick, under which there
was furnace, where he made fire in
order to obtain just that amount of warmth
that he desired. The Jesuit Ghezzi wore
seven caps under his wig. Fourier. the
mathematician, who had returned from
Egypt nearly dead with rheumatism, suf-
fered severely when he found himself in
temperature below twenty degrees Reaumur,
and a servant followed him about every
where, in readiness to offer him additional
coats and wrappings. During the latter
years Of his life, when rendered Aors de
combat by the asthma, from which he suf-
fered since his youth, he lived almost en-
tirely in a kind of box, which allowed no
deviation Of the body, and allowed nothing
to pass except his heao and arms.-11e

Ice 80, 900 Years Old.
Alta, Calao mia News.


The altitude of the Stevens mine ou
Mount Mcclellan is 1860 feet. At the
depth of from 81 to 2Jo feet the crevice
matter, consisting Of silica, calcite and ore.
together with the surrounding wall rock, is
IL solid frozen mass. Mcclellan is one ot
the highest eastern spurs of the snowy
range I; it has the form of :. horseshoe, with
a bold escarpment of feltsphatic rock nearly
1900 feet high, which in some places il
nearly perpendicular. Nothing unusual
occurred until q dista nee Of some 80 or 90
feet had been made; then the frozen terri
tory was reached, and it has continued over
200 feet. There are no indications Of q
thaw, SKINNER or winter. The whole
frozen territory is surrounded by hard
massive roek, and the lode itself i. as hard
and massive as the rock.
The miners, being unable to excavate the
frozen material with pick or drill, found
that the only way was to kindle large
wood fire at night against the back end o
the tunnel, and in Sne morning take out
the disintegrated ore. This has been the
mode Of mining for more than two years.
The tunnel is over 300 feet deep, and there
is no diminution of the frost. There is, So
far as can be seen, no opening or channel
through which the frost could possibly
have reached such depth from the surface.
There are other mines In the same vicinity
in like frozen state. The theory is that
the rock was laid down in glacial times,
when there was cold enough to freeze the
very earth's heart. In that case the mine
is an ice house whose stores have remained
unthawed for at least $4,000 yearsl The
phenomenon is not uncommon or inexpli-
cable when openings can be found through
which a current of air can pass but cases
which, like the Brandon frozen we'll and
the Stevens mine, show no way for fair
currents, are still referred to Embedded Ice
bergs and the glacial period.
