jfg tof eUaueo tiff* Tjic Properties of Heat. HEAT or the caioric portion of the sun- j beam is'the great cause of life and motion in this our world. As it were with a mag ical energv, it causes the winds to blow j and the waters to flow, vivifies and ani mates all nature, and then bathes it in re freshing dew. The intensity of the heat which we receive depends on the distance cf the earth from the sun, its great source, and still more on the relative position ol the two orbs: since in winter we are nearer j the sun than we are in summer, vet, in con sequence of the position of the earth at that season, the sun's rays fall obliquely on its northern hemisphere, rendering it far colder than at any other period ol the vear. , . , * A great portion of the heat-rays which are emitted by the sun are absorbed in their passage through the atmosphere which surrounds our globe. It is calculated tlia. about one-third of the heat-ravs which fall on it never reach the earth, wuich fact adds another to the many beneficent pur poses fulfilled by our gaseous envelope, screening us from the otherwise scorching heat. It is curious to trace the varied tales of the calorific ravs which strike on the surface of the earth. Some at once on falling are reflected, and, passing back through the atmosphere, are lost amid the immensity of space ; others are absorbed or imbibed by different bodies, and altera time, are radiated from them ; but the great er part of the beams which reach the j earth during the summer are absorbed by it, and conveyed downward to a con- . siderable distance, by coudueaon hum ; particle to particle. Heat aiso spreads laterally from the regions of the equator toward the poles, thereby moderating the intense cold of the arctic and antarctic circles, and in winter, when the forest-i trees are covered with snow, their deeply- , penetrating roots are warmed by '.be heat, which, as in a vast store-house, has been laid up in the earth, to preserve life du ring the dreary winter. Ibe ra\ sv. liich fall upon the tropical seas descend to the depth of about three hundred feet. The sun's attraction from the earJ;, being also stronger at that quarter of the worid, the heated waters are drawn upward, the colder waters from the poles rush in, and thus a great heated current is produced, flowing from the equator northward and southward, which tends to equalize the temperature of the earth. Ihe sailor also knows how to avail himself of this phenomenon. \V hen out at sea, despite his most skillful steering, he is in constant danger of shipwreck, if he fails to esti mate truly the force and direction of those currents which are dragging him insen sibly out of the true course, llis compass does not help him here, neither does any log yet known give a perfectly authentic result. " But he knows that this great gulf stream has a stated path and time, and, by ; testing from hour to hour the temperature j of the water through which he is proceed ing, he knows at what point he is meet ing the current, and reckons accordingly. r \Ve have already said that heat was the producer of winds, which art* so essential to the preservation ot the purity ot the at mosphere. I:i order to understand their action, we shall consider the stupendous phenomenon of the trade winds, which is similar t > that ot the current we have described. The rays of the sun falling vertically oil the regions between the trop ics, the "air there becomes much heated.— it is the property of the air to expand when heated, and, when expanded, it is neces sarily lighter than the cooler air around ; it. Consequently it rises. As it rises, the cooler air at once takes its place. Hushing , ironi the temperate and polar regions to sup ply the vacuum, the warm air which has risen flows toward the poles, and descends there, loses its heat, and again travels to the tropics. Thus a grand circulation is continually maintained in the atmosphere. These aerial currents, being affected by ihe revolution of the earth, do not move due north and south, as they otherwise would. Hence, while they equalize the temperature of the-atmosphere, they also preserve its purity ; for the pure oxygen evolved by the luxuriant vegetation of the equatorial regions is wafted by the winds to support life in the temperate zones, while the air from the poles bears carbonic acid gas on its wings to furnisli food for tlie rich and gorgeous plants of the tropics. Thus the splendid water-lily of the Ama zon, the stately palm-tree of Africa, and the great banyan of India, depend fur nourishment on the breath of men and ani mals in lands thousands of miles distant from them, and, in return, they supply their benefactors with vivifying oxygen. Little less important, and still more beau tiful, is tlie phenomenon of dew, which is produced by the power of radiating heat, possessed in different degrees by all bodies. The powers both of absorbing and of radi ating heat, in great measure depend on the color of bodies—the darker tiie color the greater the power; so that each lovely flower bears within its petals a delicate thermometer, which determines the amount of heat eacli shall receive, and which is al ways the amount essential to their well being. The queenly rose, the brilliant ear nation, the fair lily, and the many-colored anemone, all basking in the same bright sunshine, enjoy different degrees of warmth, and when night descends, and the heat ab sorbed by day is radiated back, and bodies become cooler than the surround ing air, the vapor contained in the atmos phere is deposited in the lorm of dew.— Those bodies which radiate most quickly receive the most copious supply of the re freshing fluid. This radiating power de pends on the condition of the surface, as well as upon color, so that we may often see the grass garden bathed in dew, while the gravel walks which run through it are perfectly dry, and, again, the smooth, shinuig, juicy leaves of the laurel are quite dry, while the rose-tree beneath it is sat urated with moisture. The crreat effect produced on the vegeta ble kiid°m by the heat ray. may be ' judged of from the fact, that almost all the 'plant" which exhibit the remarkable phe ; nomenon of irritability, almost approaching to animal life, are confined to those re gions where the heat is extreme. On the banks of the Indian river grows a plant in almost constant motion. In the hottest of the conservatories at ( ew is a curious plant, whose leaflets rise by a succession of little starts. The same house contains ! Venus's fly-trap. Light seems to have no effect in quickening their movements ; but the effect of increased heat is at once seen. They exhibit their remarkable powers most during the still hot night of Indian summer- Heat is of essential importance in Hie producing and ripening ot fruit. - "j> | trees will not bear fruit m our cold cli mate, which are most productive in the sunny south. Animal as well as vegetable life is in great measure dependent on heat. Look at the insect tribes. The greater number of them pass their winter in trie pupa state. Hidden in some sheltered ■ nook, or buried in the earth, they *!eep on until the warmth of returning spring awak ens them to life and happiness; and it. by artificial means, the cold be prolonged, they still sleep on, whereas, it they be exposed to artificial heat, their change is hastened, ' and butterflies may he seen spcrting about the flowers of a hothouse, when thetr le>s : favored relatives are still wrapped in the ; deepestslumber. 1 ojudge of the inlluence * of heat on the animal and vegetable econo ; my, we need but contrast summer and winter—the one radiant and vocal with I life and beauty, the other dark, drearv, silent. The third constituent of the sunbeam is 1 actinism —its property being to produce i chemical effects. So long ago as loot), it was noticed by those strange seekers al.er ' impossibilities, the alchemists, that horn sihor, exposed to the sunbeam, was black ened bv it. This phenomenon contained the germ of those most interesting discov eries which have distinguished the present age ; but, in their ardent search for the phi losopher's stone and the elixer of lite, they overlooked many an effect of their la bors which might have led them to important truths. As yet, the effects of actinism have been more studied in the inanimate Hum the organic creation. Still, in the vegetable kingdom, its power is known to be of the utmost importance. A seed exposed to tne entire sunbeam will not germinate: but bury it ill the earth, at a depth sufficient to exclude the light, yet enough to atirnit ac tinism, which, like heat, penetrates the earth in some distance, and soon a chemi cal change will take place; the starch contained in the seed is converted into gum and water, forming the nutriment ot the young plant; the tiny root plunges down j ward, the slender stem rises to the light, the first leaves, or cotyledons, then unfold, and now fully expand to the light, and a se ries of chemical changes of a totally differ ent nature commence, which we have he fore noticed, when speaking of light. Lx periiner.ts clearly prove that this change is to be attributed to actinism, and not to heat. Glass has been interposed ola dark blue color, which is transparent to actinism, though opaque to light and heat, and ger mination has been thereby quickened.— Gardeners have long known this fact prac tical! v, and are accustomed to raise their cuttings under blue shades. There is no doubt that actinism exercises a powerful and beneficent influence on plants during ! their whole existence, but science has yet to demonstrate its nature ; and it is curi ous to observe that the actinic element is most abundant in the sunbeam in the spring, when its presence is most esseu tial in promoting germination —in sum mer the luminous rays are in excess, when thev are most needed for the formation of woody fibric—and in autumn the heat-rays prevail, and ripen the golden grain and the delicious fruit; in each day the propor tions of the different rays vary—in the morning the actinic principle abounds most, at noon the light, and at eventide the heat. The influence of actinism on the animal world is not well known ; but it is prob able that many of the effects hitherto re ferred to light are in reality due to actin ism. It has the strange power of darken ing the human skin, causing the deep color of those tribes who inhabit the sunniest re gions of the earth ; and even in our own i country in summer, that darkening of the skm called sunburning. Doubtless, more careful investigation will discover this principle to be equally important to the life and health of animals as either of its close j ly allied powers of light arid heart. Our knowledge of actinic influence on animate nature is not so scanty, for it is I now a well established fact, that the sun beam can not fall on any body, whether simple or compound, without producing on its surface a chemical and molecular change. The immovable rocks which bound our shores, the mountain which rears its lof | ty head above the clouds, the magnificent cathedral, the very triumph of art, and the beautiful statue ill bronze or marble, are all acted on destructively by the sun beam, and would soon perish beneath its irresistible energy, but for the beautiful i provision made lor their restoration during , the darkness of night—the repose of dark ness being no less essential to inorganic, 1 than it is to animated nature. During its - silent hours, the chemical and molecular - changes are all undone, and the destruction - , of the day repaired, we know not how. i tie art of painting by the sunbeam has . been rather unfortunately called photo . graphv, which means light-painting, for s the process is not due to light, but is rather i interfered with by it; and, contrary to all 3 preconceived ideas, the pictures taken iti e our comparatively sombre country, are more easily and brilliantly produced than B iu brighter and more sunny lands—so i mud.OU per ton freight. may 21 I'.

The Scientific Evidence upon which it is based, is in tile highest degree CURIOUS and REMARKABLE. Scientific Evidence! BARON LIEBIG in h.s celebrated work on Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Digestive Fhiid, ana i logous to the •astric Juice, may be readily prepared ; from the mucous membrane of the stomach of the Calf, in which various articles of 4;pd, as meat and eggs, will be softened, changed, and digested, just in the same man ner as they would the human stomach.''

As a Dyspepsia lurcr, Dr HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN has produced the most marvellous effects, ill curing cases of Debility, Ema nation, JYcrcous Decline, and Dyspeptic Consumption. It is impossible to give the details of the eases in the , limits of this advertisement; but authenticated certifi cates have been given of more than TWO HUNDRED REMARKABLE CURES, in Philadelphia, New York and Boston, alone. These were nearly nil desperate eases, and the cures were not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent. It is a great NERVOUS ANTIDOTE, and particularly useful fur tendency to Billions disorder, Liver Complaint, Fever ami Ague, and the evil effects of Qtunino, Mercury, and other Drugs upon the Digestive Organs, after a long sickness.

It is the only . medicine winch has no Worm-seed Oil or Turpentine j combined with it, which is believed by all other physi ! cians, to be the only two things which will destroy ' worms, and these two things combined, together with j castor oil, are the active principles of a!! other worm j medicines, which every person who has ever tasted o • smelled, knows to be the most nauseous of all nauseous medicines, and on account of which, there is generally : something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in order to do this, it must be something stronger than tin medicine itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy ; some of its medicinal properties. These powders are | simple and so harmless, that a child may eat a whole box ■ at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same time, ! the principle upon which it acts being different from any thing else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms with a certainty never equaled, it w ill iw> only destroy the seat worms, or Asearides, and long, round worms, or j Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the destruc i tiou of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have brought as many as FIVE Tape Worms from one person If your children have any symptoms of worms, try i these powders, and in nine cases out of ten, you will nev ! er use any other. These are also warranted, j These medicines are all separate, and one for each dis | ease, and each for only one disease. They are not re ; commended, as many other medicines are, to cure sotue ! fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures, j but they are each to cure but one disease, and that they ! will do in ninety -nine cases out of every hundred, and 1 where they have a fair trial and fail in all eases, the i money will be returned.
