We extract the following from the third Somerville lecture of the course now being delivered in the Hall of the Natural His tory Society: — “ But there were.other poisons of a some what different class—he meant that of special disease which we knew little about in themselves, but which were too frequently found producing their effects among-t us, such as cholera, typhus, measles, small pox, &c. That eaoh of these had a posion peouliar to itself was generally recognized, for in every ease was found a certain fixed series of symptoms—for the most part run ning their course in a certain given time. Such poisons were difficult of detection, and their presence was only known by their effects. Some articles of food commonly used become poison to certain individuals. This was the case with pork, certain kindß of shell-fish, and mushrooms. The lecturer went on to show how poisons had an elec tive affinity for particular organs of the body, and produced their effects on them especially; how, but with few exceptions, they acted through the medium of the blood, and said it was not necessary that poison should be actually swallowed —it might be introduced through the skin di rectly into the blood. Diseased, or over driven cattle, and newly killed meat, was in general liable to produce violent gastric irritation, and even cholera. It was neces sary that some means should be taken to protect the public ot cities from having such meat supplied them. The lecturer next referred to the pork disease in Ger many, stating that at one single wedding feast some sixty people lost their lives, having eaten at the feast of sausages made from a pig that was suffering from a small parasite, which, when swallowed, perforates the alimentary canal, and takes up its abode in the muscles, upon which it lives, and there multiplies, till at last it produces such a state of exhaustion, that the patient sinks. Both pork and veal were unwhole some food, and, unless thoroughly cooked, were very apt to produce poisonous results. The lecturer quoted authorities to prove this. He went on to refer to the habits ofthe farm ers in bringing into market in spring time very young veal, before the snow was off the ground, and before the cows could obtain their natural food, good wholesome grass. He did not consider this food wholesome, and he mentioned one case of dysentery where death ensued, attributable to its use. He alluded to another practice which prevails here of driving calves and sheep to market with their feet tied together. These cattle brought in long distances are often tossed down on the pavement, and left for whole hours during our summer sun without water, and even without shelter. Poultry also was brought in pairs with their legs very tightly tied together. Animals treated in this Way cannot be considered as fit for food, being in a feverish state from the sufferings they undergo. The only condition of atmosphere which can be compared with that arising from over crowding in its effect upon , the spread of the cholera, is that produced by the dif fusion of the effluvia of drains, sewers, slaughter-houses, manure manufactories, &c., which correspond closely in their nature and effeots with the putrescent ema nations from the living human body. The emanations from drains were, for the most part, deleterious in reducing the system by the quantity of sulphuretted hydrogen present, and by its being charged with or ganic matter, thereby preventing the exha lation of the, lungs of such matters as are formed during the circulation of the blood, from the waste of tissues. Thus the blood becomes charged with worn-out materials and rendered unfit to keep the body in health, an epidemic of disease arises, and such as are within the pale of these delete rious influences are the viotims.” The lec turer's remarks were earnestly listened to, and, on conclusion, he was heartily applaud ed by the large audience present. FORM OF PRAYER DURING THE CAT TLE PLAGUE LAST CENTURY. A correspondent, says an English jour nal, has sent us the subjoined copy of a form of prayer used in that country during the cattle plague in 1745. The visitation then raged fiercely for three years, and did not quit the kingdom for ten years :—“ 0 gracious God ! who, in thy bounty to man kind, has given them the beasts ol the field for their provision and nourishment, continue to us, we beseech thee, this bless ing, and suffer us not to be reduced to scarcity and distress by the contagious dis temper whioh has raged, and still rages, among the cattle in many parts of this kingdom. In this, and all other, thy dis pensations towards us. we see and adore the justice of thy providence, and do with sorrowful and penitent hearts confess that our manifold sins and impieties have deser vedly provoked thine anger and indignation against us. But we earnestly entreat thee, Almighty Father, in this calamitous state, to look down upt u us with an eye of pity and compassion; and, if it be thy blessed will, to forbid the spreading of this sore visitation, and in thy good time to remove it from all the inhabitants of this land, for the sake of thy mercies in Christ Jesus, our only Saviour and Reedeemer. Amen." MANURES OUT WEST. ' Speaking of the land in lowa, the Home stead, of that State, makes the folio to us unique remarks:—“ So inexhaustibly rich are most of our lowa lands, that a man who would take the trouble to draw manure from his barnyard to his fields with a view of enriohiog them would b e looked upon as a curiosity in some localities. We know of a field that has been cropped an nually with wheat and corn for eighteen years, and this year has as promising a stand ■of Catawba club upon it as we remem ber to have seen in the Genesee Valley of New York. The time will come, doubt less, when manuring will be necessary, but not in this generation ; until then the straw stacks will be burned to get rid of them, and the manure piles continue to accumu late into vast nuisances. Our readers will from this understand why we say so little upon the subject of manures, phosphates. carbonates, etc., etc. It would be labor wasted upon a people who never use them, simply because they do not yet see the necessity. While admitting that this gradual wasting of the strength of the soil is short-sighted policy for our farmers, we are thankful that the soil is rich enough to stand the drain for so many years to come ” THE PEACH CROP. A number of the members of the Legis lature have, at the request of Dr Trimble, of Newark, furnished him peach buds from their respective counties for inspection, in | order to discover whether the crop has been entirely destroyed by the extreme cold weather of January. Several hun dred buds have been examined from the counties of Sussex, Warren, Morris, Hunt erdon, Somerset, Mercer, Essex, Passaic, Bergen, and Hudson, and not a living one has been found. About one in five buds in a few twigs from the counties of Salem and Cumberland were found not killed. One in about ten were found alive in those trom Egg Harbor city,, in Atlantic county. Peach buds are killed at eighteen degrees below zero, proving that in the northern part of the State the mercury fell at least that low on the Dight of January Bth. It is expected that m re living buds will be found in the southern portion of the State, but the prospects of the crop will be seen to be poor indeed. — Newark , N. J. , Adver tiser, February 17. KEEPING HORSES’ FEET AND LEGS IN ORDER. If I were asked to account for my | horses’ legs and feet being in better order than those of my neighbor, I should attrib ute it to the four following 'circumstances : —First, they are all shod with a few nails, so placed in the shoe as to permit the foot to expand every time they move; second, that they all live in boxes instead of stalls, and can move whenever they please; third, they spend two hours, daily, walking-exer cise when they were not at work; and fourth, that I have not a headstall or track chain in my stall These tour circum stances comprehend the whole mystery of keeping horses’ legs fine, and their feet in sound working condition up to old age. — Miles. SHOEING HORSES THAT OVERREACH. It is very annoying to ride or drive a horse that is constantly pounding his fore shoes with his hind ones. It is click, click all the time. We have had a number of horses with this fault, but latterly have been able to cure them or greatly benefit them by a peculiarity of shoeing. Make high heel-caulks on the fore feet and very low toe-caulks, standing a little under and the shoe setting well backward. The fore foot thus managed will roll over and be sooner out of the way of the hind foot. On the hind foot make the heel-caulk low, and the toe-caulk high, projecting forward. If these directions are followed, the horse will travel clean, and the habit will soon be broken up. —Rural World. .. HOW TO FRESHEN-SALT BUTTER. Churn the butter with new milk, in the proportion of a pound of butter to a quart of milk; treat the butter in all respects in churning as if it was fresh. Bad butter may be improved greatly by dissolving it thoroughly in hot water. Let it cool, then skim it off and churn again, adding a small quantity of good salt and sugar. A small quantity may be tried and approved before trying a larger one. The water should be merely hot enough to melt the butter. JJtinrtifit. MAGNESIUM LIGHT. The brilliant white light produced by burning .the metal magnesium has lately attracted much attention. Magnesium is the metal contained in ordinary magnesia and Epsom salts, in soapstone, and meer schautu, and might be a very common metal if uses were found for it. Within two or three years it has been produced in England in considerable quantities, and its price has rapidly fallen as the production increased, till it now costs in London only ten shillings an ounce. This weight cor responds to a considerable bulk, because of the low specific gravity of the metal, which is seven times lighter than lead. In the metallic state it looks much like zinc, a metal to which it bears a close chemical as well as physical resemblance. Zinc may be readily burned in a coal fire, and in the burning it also produces a white light, due, like the magnesium light, to the, incan descent particles of the solid oxide. A small ribbon of magnesium may be lit by the heat of an alcohol or gas lamp, and it will burn steadily so long as it is properly protected from currents of air, provided there be no flaws in the ribbon. A slight puff of idtod may blow out the flame. The magnesiffii light is remarkable for other qualities besides its brilliancy. The ultra violet portion of the spectrum is more than six times as'broad as the common spectrum produced by sunlight. Henee the pheno mena of fluorescence are very finely exhi bited with the magnesium light. Its chemical and photographic power is in tense. Dry chloride of silver is colored dark blue by it in a few seconds. If a mixture of. equal volumes ol chlorine and hydrogen be exposed, in a glass cylinder to the light of a burning magnesium wire, a mist of bydro-chlorio acid will at once ap pear; and if a second burning wire be brought to reiniorce the first, the two gases will,'after a few seconds, unite with explo sion precisely as they.do when exposed to direct sunlight. Bodies which will emit light in the dark after five or ten minutes exposure to the direct rays of the sun, as do the phosphides ot calcium, strontium, barium, and some varieties of the diamond, of fluorspar, and of alumina, attain their maximum of phosphorescence from as many seconds’ exposure to the magnesium light. A perfect lamp for burning magnesium is yet to be invented. The product of the combustion is a white, solid, bulky ash, which consists ef nothing but pure mag- THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN. THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1866. nesia. It is difficult to get rid of this ash, 1 which forms very rapidly and greatly dims the brilliancy of the light. Progress has, however, been make towards this most desirable end, both by English experi menters and by the American Magnesium Company, of Boston. One of the most in genious suggestions which has heen made is to reduce the magnesium to powder, mix it with sand, and let the mixture run into a jet of gas, as sand runs from an hour glass. The greater part of the magnesium now manufactured is consumed by the theaters, and for such-purposes it is cer tainly much more convenient and manage able than either the Drummond or the electric light. For light-houses and for signal-lights at sea and upon railways, the magnesium light possesses great advantages over any light which has ever been used for such purposes; but the actual employ-1 ment of the metal for ships and light houses must depend upon the invention of a lamp which will insure the uninterrupted combustion of the metal, and the complete and immediate removal of ’the smoke and ash. For fire-works,'mixtures of zinc and magnesium may be used with excellent effect. By the magnesium light photogra phers may work at night or in dark wea ther, and the interiors of caves, catacombs, and mines may be reproduced with all the distinctness- of a sun-picture. Professor Smyth has obtained by its use photographs of the interior of the great Pyramid, and of the granite coffer in the King’s j chamber of the Pyramid. Colors look j by the magnesium light just as they look sunlight, so that in those countries J)f Europe where sunshine is scarce the light may prove a convenience to dealers in delicately-colored fabrics of silk, cotton, or paper. — The Nation. ANCIENT CAVE-DWELLERS, A report to the Belgian Minister of the Interior, by Messrs. Van. Beneden and Dupont, furnishes additional information regarding the curious researches in the primeval history of the human family that now occupy so large a portion of the atten tion of the scientific world. These gentle men, who have long been engaged in the pursuit, have been rewarded by the dis covery of what may be considered a model cave-dwelling on the banks of the river Lesse. It is described as well lighted, traversed by a spring, easy of access, and ! its situation most picturesque; in short, presenting every requisite ctf a “ desirable family masion” for our troglodytic ancestors. The evidences of occupation presented by this cavern are most numerous and import ant. The materials of the various stone implements found in immense numbers, fragments of minerals, flints, jet, sharks’ teeth, etc., show that the inhabitants must have enjoyed extended commercial relations Vith other portions of Europe. Judging lrom the quantity of bones found in the cavern, the principal food of the cave dwellers must have been horse-flesh, as the teeth of more than forty horses were found. The bones of the water-rat, badger, hare, boar, show that variety in diet was studied. The fore-arm of an elephant or mammoth found in the same dwelling is regarded by the discoverer rather as a fetish or idola trous charm placed near the hearth, in the same manner as still practised by some I African nations. The worked flints, in various stages of manufacture, collected are more than thirty thousand. The cave appears to-have been abandoned so suddenly that the inhabitants left behind them their tools, ornaments, and the remains of their meals. According to M. Dupont’s theory, this must have arii-en from the approach of the sudden inundation which covered the whole of Belgum and Northern France, and swept away that generation of the cave people. Immediately after they had left it, the roof and sides of the cave fell in, the pieces detached covering the floor, and thus preserving the remains from the action of the waters uudisturbed to the present day. The writer, reconstructs from 1 the materials at hand, whose evidence seems incontrovertible, a stricking picture of the condition and habits of the early races of men in Belgium, a state that seems to have prevailed over the greater part of Europe. I The remaining unsettled point of investiga tion is the ancestral relation held by these primitive populations to the present race of man. It will need more extensive discove ries of human remains than have yet been made, for its final settlement. — Ibid. MANUFACTURE OF ARABIC TYPE. Mr. Homan Hallock gives, in the Bible Society Record, an interesting description of the manufacture of Arabic type, for printing an edition of the Bible. He says: — “At the time when Rev. Dr. Eli Smith and myself commenced oui efforts at Smyrna on the Arabic type, in 1813, although there were existing fonts of tyj.-i in that language in England, France, Germany, Constanti nople, Mount Lebanon and Egypt, not one of them was at all endurable by the all-fas tidious Arabs and Turks, who, notwith standing their semi-barbarous state, are without equal in the exceeding beauty and symmetry of their manuscript, of which all printing in that language is an imitation. Still, in the absolute necessity for type to supply the almost total want of books, any one of these fonts would most gladly have been purchased and used at the Mission Press, but that, for various ■ reasons, they could not be procured. In fact, Dr. Smith and his associates had made unwearied ef forts to this end, but to no purpose. u Atlength,in despair of success,he called on me one day at Smyrna, proposing that I should commence the difficult work of man ufacturing Arabic type. Previously to this, Dr .‘Smith, in pursuing his missionary work, had visited numerous parts of Syria, and had most carefully studied the forms of the Arabic letters, finding many good speci mens of manuscript; but until about this time he had not found any that were drawn with sufficient accuracy for us as models for printing type. Now, however, by some means to him almost mysterious, some scores of pages of the elegant and perfect ■ copies used by the renowned Turkish and Arab writing-masters came within his reach. Of these he most joyfully took possession i and they proved a key on which J i implicitly rely for all the andc ves, , and slopes, and other nice forms for which - this writing is so remarkable. “After rough-shaping about one hundred punches, with tolerable prospect of success, though not without long and painful effort, a wakeful hour of the night suggested to me that by reversing a certain part of a pantograph in my possession, I could trace my models direct upon the polished face of pieces of steel, reduced to any desired scale, and have only to follow my lines to make a perfect imitation of my patterns. This process was so clear and. intelligible, that its first suggestion to my own mind, and also to his, at once removed our doubt of ultimate success. “Dr. Smith now commenced drawing a second set of patterns of the size of the palm of my. hand, and after about ten days spent in new modelling my pantograph, I made my first steel letter, which, with its succeeding companions, is still in existence, has just now been used in making the type in hand, and has not since been improved in form, or scarcely in execution, in any succeeding font. i “ From that day to this, now about thirty years, I have made it my ruling business, I ind effort, and desire, to complete sets of ihese punches, of which four different sizes are done and are now in use at Beirut, the fifth I am now making at the Bible • House, at New York, and the sixth will be commenced probably after a few months. The smallest of these fonts is the same with that in which the beautiful pocket Testa ment has just been printed at Beirut; the two large sizes will be used for the promi nent words in large title pages, school-cards and the like, and in an edition 6f the Bible for the aged and weak-sighted, go frequently found in that region of the world. The intermediate sizes have long been in use at Beirut, in printing portions of the Bible and a multitude of other promiscuous works.” $f m % Safe* <£o the £abicr>, Look o’er the fashions which old pictures show.
