SCIENTIFIC LECTURES BEFORE THE YOUNG
MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
PROFESSOR ALBERT F. LEEDS, ON GALVANISM.
This difficult subject was admirably treat
ed by the young Professor, before au atten
tive and delighted audience. Few lecturers
possess a happier faculty of talking to their
class in an easy and pleasant manner than
does Mr. Leeds.
A simple galvanic cell, he said, was com-1
aposed of a copper and a zinc plate, placed in
vessel of acid water, and the two plates, join
ed by a connecting wire, formed the complete
circle. The compound battery is a multi
plication of simple cells with certain modifi
cations. The connection between the gal
vanic current and the magnetic needle forms
a curious and interesting feature in the
science. The needle is always deflected at a
right angle from the quarter of the parallel
current. [An experiment with the Galvan
ometer proved this promptly.] A step fur
ther in this investigation proved that a cur
rent of electricity is a magnet—an experi
ment with a ring of iron, around which the
wire coil was wrapped, proved this point;
another iron ring, cut in two half circles,
being so powerfully magnetised that it was
impossible to separate them while the cur
rent was on, though they dropped apart when
the current was severed; a bar of soft iron
was so magnetised by the current, as to hold
several pounds of nails suspended from each
other in a confused net-work.
The medical battery was next explained,
and the curious fact shown that a compara
tively weak current, is made a powerful
one by passing it through a coil of coarse
wire, surrounding parallel bars or needles of
soft iron—and the whole surrounded by
another coil of fine wire of great length.
This brought him to an explanation of the
magnificent Rhumkorff Coil, the most power
ful electrical battery known.. It is a copy
of our American Medical Battery, improved
upon by an inventor of Paris, who has given
his name to the machine.
The American manufacturers have again
improved upon the French; until from the
Boston machine torrents of sparks, 20 inches
long have been drawn, while from that made
in Paris, none longer than 4 to 6 inches have
been obtained. The coil exhibited by the
lecturer contained 60,000 feet, (10 miles) of
extremely fine wire—so fine, that although
wrapped the entire length with insulating
silk thread, the whole wrapped wire was as
fine as the finest sewing silk. It is suffi
ciently powerful to kill a man by its dis
charge, it is supposed; and during the mani
pulations necessary to the experiments, it
was kept cut off from the galvanic cups, ex
cept, just at the last moment, for fear of ac
cident to the lecturer or his attendants.
When all was ready, the gas lights in the
room were put out, and a series of most
brilliant experiments was shown. The dis
charges were like those of a pistol when a
Leyden jar was connected with the battery.
A mirror was placed in connection with the
wires—a tree of light spread from the pole
in front, finding its way to that behind the
glass. Ether and gunpowder were both ignit
ed by the spark. A beautiful aurora was
drawn through a tube 4 feet long, from which
the air had been extracted. The light was
of an intense violet hue and surpassingly
beautiful. Abbe Nolle's globe, showing a
bright green light in a sphere containing Sul
phate of Quinia, was surrounded by the violet
aurora, all being in an exhausted air vessel.
Thelyeisler tubes,
showed various tints, pink,
green and violet light, from the presence of
various gases—nitrogen, oxygen, &c. The
rapid discharges of the coil—the brilliant
flashes, at times blinding—the beautiful tints,
all make up a set of the most brilliant ex
periments that a lecturer can possibly show
to a class.
PROFESSOR HAYDEN ON GEOLOGY
Professor F. V. Hayden, delivered a second
lecture on Geology before the above Associa
tion on a recent Friday evening. Ho said,
I am happy to Lecture on such a subject
before an association of this stamp, for Geol
ogy has no teachings which are contrary to
the teachings of the Bible. We find all ani
mals and plants grouped into families. God
grouped them, not scientific men, and Ho
has left, in all science, the door ajar; so that
scientific minds may consecrate their lives
to interpret God in nature.
The study of Geology stands next to that
of Astronomy in sublimity. The astrono
mer investigates the field of the universe,
which he has found to be not less than six
thousand millions of miles in diameter. He
is compelled to be an earnest worshipper of
the Creator of such a universe. The Geologist
studies the earth alone—one little speck—an
atom in space, but his studies include the
millions of years of time required in the
changes of the earth's crust. He peoples it
with the animal or vegetable life of the ages
that passed away millions of years before
man came upon it—as I shall show presently.
A sort of inspiration is given to the pro
found students of nature. Cuvier conceived
the great idea of dividing all animals into 4
groat branches—the vertebrates, the articu
lates, the molluscs, and the radiates. This
was the greatest step in advance ever made
in scientific study. It has not been changed
since Cuvier's day ; but it was not Cuvier,
it was God who thus divided the animal
creation and inspired Cuvier to find it out.
In the study of Geology, as in all scien
tific pursuits, man originates nothing; he
merely recombines that which God has made;
or in Geology, that which God has written
upon the rocks. We find in America, the
crust of the earth, which we have had the
chance to examine, to be from 15 - to 20 miles
in vertical thickness. Beginning with the
oldest formations, we have the Azoic rocks,
then the Silurian, the Devonian (or old red
sand-stone,) the Carboniferous, the Repti:
ian (Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous) an
the Tertiary.
These six formations, Hugh Miller has
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1867.
beautifully shown to correspond with the
six days of creation, man being introduced
at the close of the sixth, and the seventh
being the day of rest, the present period.
These different groups of strata are known
and distinguished by the different fossil re
mains of animals or plants found in each.
The Silurian was the age of molluscs; the
Devonian of fishes, the Carboniferous of
plants (forming our coal beds,) the Reptil
ian of reptiles, (the whole face of the earth
in that period was covered with marshes
and filled with reptiles, among which were
immense Saurins 80 feet in length.) The
Tertiary age, was the age of mammalia, (the
mastodon, sloths of gigantic size, and mam
malia of various kinds, in immense numbers.)
The age of man comes last, with the present
surface of the earth. Now the fossils of
each age are found to differ from each other.
In the lower stratum of the old red sand
stone, for example, there are remains of
fishes' differing essentially from those found
in the stratum next above it, and showing a
different phase of existence entirely. There
are five different changes in the old red sand
stone. So also in the coal formation, there are
three phases, and we find that scarcely any of
the fossils of one phase pass into either of the
others. So in the pleiocene period, the last
of the Tertiary prior to the present age, we
find the mastodon and a class of elephants
which are totally extinct now. By the fos
sil remains then, of the .various strata
we read them and determine the correct
place of any rock in the series and obtain a
comparative idea of its age.
Time, geologically speaking, involves mil
lions of years. Formerly the earth was
believed to be but six thousand years old.
We did not interpret the Bible correctly
when we held to this view. We speak of
the Azoic rocks as the oldest we know of.
The Gneiss rock at Fairmount, belongs to
this class. It is altogether probable that
the eye of man has never seen the rock which
formed the original crust of the earth. In
Canada we have formations of this Azoic
rock in the form of stratified Gneiss 50,000
feet thick. Geologists suppose that this
rock was deposited not faster than one inch
in a century. See what countless ages the
first group would take ! Above the Azoic
rocks, (in some places, 16 miles in thickness
above them) we find chalk and limestone
rocks. This class of rock was built entirely,
it is thought, by coral insects, and they are
known to build but a few inches in a century.
It is impossible for the mind of man to con•
ceilre the countless ages that have passed in
the slow formations of the earth's crust.
The Weald formation in England shows a
cliff worn away by the sea, that would re
quire one hundred millions of years to wear
away as much as shows the marks of such
agency. It is no wonder that Geologists con
template fossils, which reveal these sublime
movements of the Creator, with awe and
wonder.
The infinite force required to upheave the
Rocky Mountains, and to contort and twist
about the vast strata of the Apalachian or
Allegheny chain; next came under review.
Then the Temple of Serapis in Italy, show
ing how that ruin proved the lowering and
subsequent rising of the coast of Italy, wad
described. Niagara Falls next came under
review. Queenstown Heights were once the
shore of Lake Ontario, and the Falls tum
bled right over the bluff at Queenstown,
into the lake. By - degrees they have worn
their way to their present position. Mr.
Lyell visited them in 1841, and computed
that they had been 31,000 years wearing
their way backward to where they now fall,
say one foot each year. From the slight
inclination of the strata, the .softer rocks
formerly worn away, are much deeper at
the falls, than at Queenstown; and the
present hard rock over which the water
now tumbles, will last for 600,000 years be
fore it is worn back to Lake Erie—so that
the present generation about Queenstown,
need not fear an inundation. From the
whirlpool there is an old channel down to
the lake, which was gradually filled with a
deposit containing lake shells, but among
them has been found a mastodon's tooth,
showing the formation to be that of the Ter
tiary period. Formerly the river flowed in
this channel; but the whirlpool, in 'a former
age, turned the river to the right, and made
the route now taken by the stream, which
has since been cut down to the present
depth.
The Professor then dwelt upon the pro
gressive development of animals, from the
first dawn of life down to the present period.
—the successive steps not running into each
other, as Darwin would have us believe, but
each an advance upon the former one, and
replacing it. The same law holds good in
plants. In the Devonian age we have
rushes in the Carboniferous Ferns. In the
Jurassic and Cretaceous, the first plants like
our fruit and forrest trees. Through mil
lions of years, no tree existed on the earth
in advance of gigantic Rushes, Ferns, he.
In the Cretaceous period the leaves were
very plain, but in the Tertiary period more
beautiful and like our own. In the Jurassic
and Cretaceous periods the earth was cover
ed with vast marshes filled with myriads of
reptiles. Man could not have lived then.
He could not have existed at all, before the
present configuration of things; showing a
profound thought, a wise plan arranging
the earth for the home of man.
The prophetic types of animal life were
then dwelt upon, when the Professor closed
with the promise of greater developments
still in store for the Geologists. We must
not forget that the science is as yet, but 60
years old ; that it is not long since that
Prof. Sillivan carried all the specimens be
longing to Yale College to England in a little
box, to have them named by the students of
Mineralogy and Geology of Great Britain.
Such lectures as this must accomplish the
ardent wish of Professor Hayden, to have
our young men rise to a love of scientific
pursuits.

IS SNOW A FERTILIZER ?
" Farmer," of Sullivan county, New York,
writes: "I have frequently heard it said
that snow is very beneficial to land, and
hence it is sometimes called the 'poor man's
manure.' Although this is a commonly re
ceived opinion, I have hitherto failed to meet
with any one who could explain it upon
philosophical principles, and have been led
to doubt the truth of the assertion. Why
is it said to be so l"—Answer—Snow absorbs
from the atmosphere very considerable quan
tities of ammonia, which is especially abun
dant in the air near cities, as it is set free
from coal and other fuel. It is a warm cover
ing, protecting the plants covered by it, es
pecially such as,the grasses and winter grains,
from the unfavorable action of frost, for it
matters little how deeply the ground is
frozen—a good bed of snow lying upon it for
several weeks will thaw it all, and even per
mit a growth of When
and grass to take W
place under it. hen it melts, the soil has
the benefit of the ammonia, and any fertil
izing dust that the snow may have caught,
and the snow-water besides contains much
oxygen—hence the effects which are like those
of manure, and the reason for the popular
judgment, which is quite right.—American
Agriculturist.
MILK A OURATIVE AGENT.
Surely there is something new under the
sun, as the following, from Dr. Philip Karell,
St. Petersburg, will show. The extract be
low is taken from a well written article,
which appeared recently in a leading medi
cal journal in Europe:
With regard to my own practice I have,
after fruitlessly trying all sorts of remedies
in many chronic and obstinate diseases, at
last succeeded in thoro%„ahly bringing the
alimentary canal, that sent of so many di
seases, under my control.' I did this by ad
ministering milk according to a new method.
The results which I have thus obtained
tempt me to publish my pbservations with
reference to the efficiency of this mode of
cure, provided, of course, that it be adminis
tered with method, and by a person of ex
perience. And in the first place, then, must
we attribute the beneficill influence of milk
in certain serious illnesses merely to its
nutritive qualities, or to some occult medi
cinal virtue? I cannot pronounce in favor
of the one or of the other hypothesis. It
must be remembered, however, that milk
and chyle resemble each\ other very closely.
After a great deal of experience, I have ar
rived at the conclusion that in all dropsies, in
asthma, when the result of emphysema and
pulmonary catarrh; in obstinate neuralgia,
when its causes lie in the intestinal canal;
in diseases of the liver, (simple hypertrophy
and fatty degeneration,) 'and generally in
diseaseswhere there is faulty nutrition, often
a consequence of obscure sub-acute inflam
mation of the stomach or intestines, followed
by affection of the nervous centres—in all
these cases, I consider milk as the best and
surest of remedies. Even in those cases
where dropsy is the result, of organic heart
disease, or of old standing liver complaint,
or of far advanced Bright's disease, I have
seen very marked improvement take place,
which also lasted a considerable time. But
if; unfortunately, we are unable to cure or
ganic disease, shall we not have conferred a
great benefit on poor anasarcous patients if
we reduce, with a promptitude little hoped
from other remedies, the distressing symp
toms of cedema
I generally commence the cure by employ
ing milk alone, and forbidding all other kind
of nourishment. I proceed with great cau
tion in prescribing for the patient, three or
four times daily, and at regularly observed
intervals, half:a tumbler or a tumbler—that
is, from two to six ounces—of skimmed
milk. Its temperature must be made to
suit the patient's taste. In winter they
generally like tepid milk, heated by placing,
the tumbler or cup in a vessel filled with hot
water. In summer they generally prefer it of
the same temperature as, the surrounding
atmosphere. They should not gulp it all at
once, but take it slowly and in small quanti
ties, so that the saliva may get well mixed
with it. Of course, the milk must be of
good quality. That of town-fed cows has
generally an acid reaction; that of country
fed cows is better, because its reaction is
gen erahy neutral. If the patient digest the
milk well, which is proved by the finces be
coming solid, I gradually increase the dose.
The first week is the most difficult to get
over, unless the patient has a strong will
and firm faith in the cure. During the se
cond week two ordinary quarts are generally
administered each day. If the cure take its
regular course, then the milk must be drunk
four times daily—at 8 in the morning, at
noon, at 4, P. M., and at 8, P. M. If the
patient desire it, I change the hours; but I
always insist on regular intervals being ob
served, for the patient will think lightly of
the cure, if he be not ordered to observe
some-regularity while subjected to it. No bon
fidence can be inspired, and no cure expected,
if the physician says to his patient, "Drink
milk in whatever quantities, and whenever
you wish."
PRAIRIE PASTURES.
Every succeeding year's experience is con
tradicting the the generally conceived idea
that prairie land is not well adapted to the
production of the tame grasses. Especially
is this true of the older grazing portions of'.
Central Illinois. In a recent conversation
with an extensive stock grower of Logan
county, a former resident of the renowned
blue grass region of Kentucky, he affirmed
that he could keep more stock on an acre
of blue grass pasture upon his present farm
than upon any equal amount of land he had
ever seen before. It is also a fact, we be
lieve, that the older the pasture becomes, if
properly treated, the better tho yield of
grages. Blue grass and white clover seem
to come into our pastures spontaneously, to
gether with a proportion of other varieties
that keeps up a succession of feed. There
are some soils, of course, here as elsewhere
that do not "set" well to grass.—Prairie
Farmer.

were first need in private practice in 1825. They were introduced
to the public in 1835, since which time their reputation has extended.
until they have a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying
Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilized nations who
have not personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great
success is owing to their uniform reliability in cases of Constipation,
Bilious and Stomachic diseases, whether of long or short duration.
They are entirely vegetable .in their composition, and harmless to
the gentlest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the skin;
another is diuretic; and stimulates proper action of the kidneys; a
third is emollient, lessening phlegm and humor from the lungs;
other properties are warming and cathartic, and cleanse the stomach
and bowels from all unhealthy secretions. Their combined effort
is, to regulate the impaired functions of the system, and to produce
health. It is not asserted Moffat's Pills are a cure-all—that they
will cure all complaints—but under ordinary circn Instances they
may be relied upon to cure Nervous and Sick Headache, Costive-
Dees, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Jaundice. Liver and Bilious Complaints,
Colds, Scurvy, General Weakness, &c. They are expreisly made
for these diseases, Millions upon millions of cures can be cited
In no single instance has a complaint ever come to our knowledge,
where they have not operntid as reconimeneed.
The printed circular around each box fully explains the symptoms
and effects of each disease, specifies treatment, furnishes evidence, &c.
We briefly refer to Rev. David Elder, Franklin, N. C., who was
cured of Dyspepsia. C. R. Cross, of Theoike, 111., cured of Liver

"About eight years since, my son, Henry A. Archer, now Post
master at Fairfield, Somerset County, Me., was attacked with spit
ting of blood, cough, weakness of lungs, and general debility, so
much so that our fitfully physician declared him to hare a "Sarum

months, but received no benefit from it. At length, from the solidi
tation of himself and others, I was induced to purchase one bottle
of WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, which benefited him
so much 'I obtained another bottle, which in a short tittle restored
him to hie usual date of health. I think I can safely recommend
