;T-IRON stoves a cause of disease. Vina the attention of of' Alices of Paris was drawn: some tifne“ lt .. by M. Carret, one of [lie llAtel Dieu of Chamlfery, in several u l s, to the possible evil consequences of use of cast-iron stoves, but little’ inter was excited in the matter. Eebently, iicral Morin has again brought the sub -1 forward, with better success. M. Garret s not hesitate to assert most positively it cast-iron stoves are sources.of danger* those who habitually employ thettf. ©u- an epidemic which rocently.ptto Vailed Savoy, but upon which M. Carrfet'ddeCnat‘ nish us with any detailed information, observed that all the inhatJitdhts who re affected with it made use of cast-iron vvs which had lately been ifflplofted info ■ country, whereas all those #ho-employed icv modes of firing, or other forts bfstbves. ,V left untouched by tiU disease, Ari ilrmie of typhoid fever, which broke out nr time after at the Lyceum of Cbambery, s regarded by the same author as be*ihg Itu nced by a large cast-iron stove in the Idren’s dormitory. General Morin speaks tlm highest terms of JVC. Carr&Vftrftirmfr-Jf I which the recent experiments of* MM. oist and Deville give additional impor ico. These able investigations has estab hed that iron and cast-iron when heated a certain degree become pervious to the ssage of gas. They have been enabled to ito the quantity of oxide of C&rbdn'which ty, as they suppose, transude from.a grVen rface of metal, and have shown that'the’ • which surrounds a stove of cast-iron is riirated with hydrogen and oxide "of feat- ’ u. They conclude that cast-jrqn .atoyes, hen sufficiently heated ausdroMijlgefi, and vo issue to carbonic acid. General Morin luted some com para tive; experimehtjs} iich had been peVfoVffied by M.‘Garret il which, he said, qaroborate this theory; ms after having rbMaiiled dftinng ohe fdtT uf in a room heated to 40° (centigrade) means of a sheet-irOn stove, r M. Garret rspired abundantly, got a good appetite, t felt no sickness whatever; he had ob ucd the same result with an earthenware >vo; but the experiment when performed ring only one half-hour with a caSt-iron ove had brought an intense headache and ckness. M. Deville).At the 1 sa'me sitting of u Academy, supported these views with msiderable warmth. ‘The danger which tended the use of cast-iron stoves, he said, as enormous and truly formidable. In his cture-room at the Sorbonno ho had placed vo electric bells, which Were set in motion i soon as hydrogen or oxide of carbon was iffused in the room. .Well, during his .lee ire the two cast-iron stoves had scarcely en lit when the bells began to ring, these cts are certainly startling, if we consider m reputation of comparative Wrrale&neto' hich these articles of’domestic rise bad therto enjoyed. . . Of course, we are in ined to question M. Garret’s conclusions; it the apparently accurate character of le facts recorded, joined vthe authority'of hose who have brought them forward, de mand for them a serious -investigation.— Vhe Lancet, London. DISTANCE OF THE SDN. Imagine a prisoner confined within a >om which has a single circular Win'do'w, ily six inches in diameter. Suppose him > ho provided with accurate instruments, nd conceive that directly in front of the indow, and somewhat mbrp thSn'lal' ndile f, there is an object—say a steeple —whose isUmce he wishes to determine. Then a omont’s consideration will show that what,- rer the accuracy of his instruments, and luitover his skill in using them, yet, with s base line of only six inches, lie" could .it expect an error of less than at least ilf a mile in his result. The position of such a prisoner corres onds closely with that of the inhabitants f the earth, limited to their little globe, iss than 8,000 miles in diameter, as a base •om which to estimate the distance of the m, upwards of ninety millions of miles way. But in some respects our prisoner is better tuated than the inhabitants of the earth. single observer, using in one place a sin lo set of instruments, is not troubled with to numerous important considerations liicb affect the value of the work done in vo observatories situated o,n opposite sides the earth. Different observers—each ith his peculiar, perhaps variable, “per iiuil equation”—must be employed; or ise a single observer, having completed a iries of observations in one hemisphere, lust commence a new series, (when,’ per aps, important changes may have occurred l his observing qualities) in another.*' Di'ff- 1 rent instruments, each with its peculiar instrumental equation,” must bo employed, r else the same instrument must be trans oi’ted, at the risk of all sorts of changes in ■s performance, from one to another hemis here of the globe. Differences of climate are also to be considered. And, in fact, io attempt to obtain any approach to a oowledge of the sun’s distance simply by ■uking use of a base line dri our small earth oy bo pronounced absolutely hopeless, return for a moment to our priso oi'. If there were objects intervening be "'eun him and the steeple, and if be had y any means obtained a certain knowledge f the relative distances of the'steeple and pf these objects, it is clear his power over his problem would bo greatly increased. Let tbe reader look from op£bBite’sideA' <, df £ jvimlow at objects unequally distant, but nearly in the same direction, and be will im peduUcly see tbe sort of use our prisoner p'ght make of the knowledge we have Ppoken of. Ho may'not, indeod, know the pxact mathematical principles involved in THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1868. the problem, nor would this be the place to explain them, but lie will 1 See' that 'there is something tangible' and appreciable in the new form of observation, Ifqwj the observer.'on earth has, at long i liter vale, an oppdrtuhitf; of -grasping. at some aids as vim have conceived ikyaha ble to our prisoner. Venus hud Mercury* pceasioually pass between the Earth' and’ the-. Sun, r and by observing their transits carefully from different parts of the earth, astronomers have been able to gain" juster conceptions of the suh’S distance than they could otherwise have obtained. Alb the difficulties, however, which wo have men tioned above are involved in the solution of ; this form, also, of the. problem, 1 . Ye.t with no other aid, and with the corn's parativeiy inefficient instruments of the last century,astronomers managed to determine; the sup’s distance with what may fairly be termed wonderful accuracy—certdraly thirtieth'pait- of the triib dis tance* This is as if our prisoner should de ’termipo the Steeple’s distance within fifty" of sixty, yards. But, the astronomers of the present day, using a variety of delicate methods, into whose nature we nbbd: not herb entbr, have , arrived, at more trustworthy results. Itris hoped tha^jduring ithe transits of Venus in J,§,74 j ajftf ■ t 8.8 , 2. t&e%, njpy ri>e,,iimp prOvedupon. Yet 1 eVen nOw," we‘‘ ihayVotfe as a great.aehievement of modern science the following series of values,-differing little (proportions tely)athorSgthemselves, though well separated from, th,e .old''determihatioh, 95,274,000 miles:—The German astrono mer Hansen, making use. of a‘peculiarity in the moon’s motion as a guide, was led to the, value of 91,T00,0d0 miles jt Stone, of the Greenyvich Observatbryi.,' was led by the same means fouly. the peculiarity wase'stV mated* by ofhbV' ; fhsirvfmehtSj; to th'b vkFae s of ■92>4Q0,00.0a dittos.-!•* Win übffke add CS.th ne, from observations of Mars, obtained, re- j .apeetiv.ely, the values, 91,300,000 miles and 9-1,500,006 miles. Estimates founded‘on - a' Comparison of the- velocity of light, as de •itepmined by .the experiments of Fizeau and Foucault, with the astronomical determina tion, give a value of 91,500,000 miles. A method employed by Leyerrier, and founded on a peculiarity of the earth's motion, gives 91,600,000 miles. And lastly, the new esti mate obtained by M. Simon Eewcombe (U. S.), founded oh observations of Mars in 1862, make the sun’s distance 92,400,000 miles. The mean of these values is 91,771,- 000 miles, or nearly 630,000 miles less than the greatest estimate. From the above results it will be seen that astronomers over-estimated the ac curacy of their calculations, vyhen they pressed the sun’s distance as if it were knows correctly within a thousand miles. But we may justly wonder at the results re corded. Returning to our illustrative pris oner, it is as if his estimates of the steeple’s distance differed from their mean by less .than fourteen yards. —London Spectator, ■ . Jtral ftpmtj. VALUE OF TIMBEE TREES!' A few years ago, timber in. the region of country between Urt»ana and Sandusky, Ohio, was but little valued. Tiie finest trees could be had almost for asking, provided, the party desiring it took thb*tnn‘ber away. Oak was valued, of course, for rails and staves; ash for shingles; poplar-for boards and shingles,,and cherry for furniture. But when it came to black a’rid white walnut and the like timber, they were not appre ciated;, especially if they were gnarled and curly in grain. How different the State af fairs now! Almost every class of timber has its important use; the black and white Walnuts being the most valuable. The cherry, poplar, and all other timbers so much valued in years gone by, are now less sought after for furniture, house finish ing and ornamental purposes than’ the wal nut. For joiner's purposes, or for furniture,, the more tangled and curly the grain-the better. The neatest and handsomest draw ing room or parlor .finish- to be found in the country is the white Walnut, orbutter nut,” and for veneering purposes, next to rosewood, curled black-walnut is the richest and grandest. We saw a find bedstead head board in one of our furniture warerooms, a few days'ago, (says an exchange,) finished with black walnut veneer, .which we‘ re garded as decidedly richer than any rose wood in tfie room. But we are getting far from what we started out to tell our readers. A gentleman residing a short distance north of Huntsville, sold from his farm a single curled black walnut for 5500. The tree was not an exceedingly large one at that. The purchaser, after the tree had been felled, and its true value asceftamed, remarked that he would not take 52,000 for it. There are many such trees in the im mense forests extending across from' Hunts ville to the northwestern part of the State. In the north of Williams county there are hundreds and thousands of the finest white and black walnuts we have ever seen.—Se lected. , -. OBANBEBBY OHLTUEE. If my experience for the past fifteen years ir. the cultivation of the Cranberry, would be of any utility to those engaged in a simi lar pursuit in your state, you are-at liberty to publish it. (Jranberry plants, though indigenous, to low, swampy lands, will grow in almost any Boil. They can be propagated’from seeds, roots, or vines without roots, and cuttings. 'Although large crops are raised upon dry -sandy soil on Cod, yet water, by,pro tecting the fruit from frost, and hot only the fruit, but th,e. yin bs from worms, is indispen ble to insure a yearly crop tbe expenses of cultivating the cranberry consist in preparing r th6 land for the jjlhnfs'.' I speak of my own “yard.” While the original cost of this land is $l5 or $2O per acre, $5OO will barely cover the cost of pre paring. It may be proper to add, that in this vicinity, the outlay would not pay with out sufficient water at command. As drainage is an important element, the nfcst thing to be done is to secure it, by dig ging main ditch, with side ditches, of a suffi cient width, every two or three rods. The Water must be taken off the vines as rapidly as 'it goes on, otherwise the sun will blister And destroy the fruit. The ditch being 'dug, next remove from six to twelve inches of the top soil; this maybe used for manure, Or burnt, and the ashes spread upon grass ground. ’ "When the approach of winter prevents further grubbing, level the work and put the “ yard ” under water, and, at a proper state of the ice, spread upon it gravel six inches deep. In May or June set out the vip.es in rows, at least two feet apart, plant ing\the roots through the gravel into the miic'k and trailing the vine along the gravel, binding it down with the "same, every six inches, for where it is bound down a hew roof will strike from the leaf. The root of the second plant should be placed at the end of the first vine. It will be found ad vantageous to weed the vines for one or two seasons. r: “i uncover my vines from the Ist to the 10th of April, and they are not allowed to be chilled until the fruit is gathered in Sep tember. .‘ 71 have some 20 acres under cultivation.
