PHENOMENA IN 1817,
Translated for Tilloch’s Philosophical Ma
gazine.
On the second of July, the mountain of
Hausruck, in Upper Austria, disappeared
and gave place to a lake. This mouatain
was of great elevation and gave its name to
the country around.
Oa the 4th of the same month, the very
opposite of this phenomenon occurred in
Italy. An astonishing noise was heard in
the territory of Ferentino ; after which the
waters of the lake of Porciano suddenly
disappeared and left their ancient bed quite
dry. Eastward, of this lake, at the foot
of a neighboring mountain, they discover-
ed an enormous chasm, produced by some
violent commotions down which the waters
had precipitated themselves into certain
cubterrancan caverns which now serve as
their receptacle.
In the month of Angust, another dis-
placement, owing without doubt to the
coal or sulphurous matters, happened near
Salsbourg, in Bavaria, on the border of the
Saiza. A space of ground, of the extent

The following proportions of sugar, salt,

Six pounds of salt:
Eight ounces of brown sugar,
Six ounces of salt-petre.
Dissolve these by boiling them in 4 gal-

Fluid is particularly excellent for pork
meat and both keep beef from becoming
