The zodiacal urns. The zodiac is a broad circle fa the _heasens, extendiag in breadth from the tropic of eaprioorn to the tropic of cancer. It is about sixteen degrees in width. The ecliptic is situated in the middle of the zodiac. The zodiac, contains the twelve con stellations or signs through which the sun passes is his apparent annual course. This circle is supposed to be divided into 360 equal parts, called degrees, and these again into minutes and seconds. The prevalent opinion amens learned Men is, that the figures um the signs or constella tions of Vie zodiac, areibeettriptive of the sea sons of the year, nod that they are. hiero glyphics hs represent some remarkable event or occurrence in each month. Thus, no pro ductions berng.more useful to the Ukeideses than lambs, calves and kids, and they gen eraly being brought forth in the spring of the year, these distinguished thatseason.— Their flocks were inereased, and the ram was considered a fltPrepresentation of the were increased and the bull became emble matical of this. And the goats being the moat prolific, they were represented by the figure of the twins.. Thus we have Aries, the rain; Taurus, the, bull, and Gemini, the twins, as the representivesof the spring of the year—the figures of the spring Bkpg.-- When the sun enters the constellation of Cancer, he discontinues his progress towards the north pole, and begins to move back to wards the south pole, and this retrograde motion is represented 'aerie crab, Which travels backwards.,,The heat which usu ally follows in the - extmonih,.(July,) is ropremnited by the Lion, in animal rintisiks hle'for its lieroeness, and Widch at this sea son of trio year, was frequently impelled by thiret, to *re the sandy deserkend make ate eppeahltibe on the banks of tb Nile.

And equally good logic is employed in - Nellef 6f all the other signs. %That folly ! The believer in moonology will no doubt be vended In learn that when the moon's poattion is between the earth and any of the zodiacal signs, the stars composing that sign are so immensely far from both the earth and thiialeon, that-they-cannot possibly - have any influence whatever upon the earth or any of the operations of the inhabitants of , the earth 1 The fixed stars nearest the earth are at an inconceivable &Hance. It may-be stated telbe more thin twenty bil -1 lions of miles; .but the common mind can form no adequate conception of such dis tance. We may acquire Some faint idea of the immense distance of the nearest of the flied stars from the earth, by considering that the sue is 95,000,000. of miles from the a A tiolpterl or ustima4 is 21amber state. A cannon ball Hying frith a uniform velocity. of 500 miles every hour, woulh require four mil- i liens and tleerinandred and ninet ..t , freer sand years before it could move from one of. l those stare to the earth ; and the different stairirii or the same corritellations may be at still greater distances from each other. Such immensity of space is bewildering to the or., plain y that the moon's position in regard to any of the constellations, can have no MU" coca upon the earth, which is bat as an atom he the universe. - - - In - conclusion, your committee would state that the facts embodied in this report, are such as are agreed upon by astronomers and mathematicians—such as are. found in , the lemons intended for the schools ; but your cominitteevid not expect this report to meet with much favor from a large portion of the conupunit,y. Indeed, truth in never More unpalatable, than when she brushes sway from the mind, a long nherikhed fallacy, and exposes error in an its • naked deformity.
