' Hail, one of the most peculiar phenomena in meteorology, is divided into two principal dame : 1. &gee, composed of round grand . lers,g aerally not more than two and a half • lines thickness; always opaque, and of l snow. kite color, occurring in wintry wea ther. 2. Ha il , .properly so called, consist -1 ing ii granules of spherical, parabolical, or pyrifor shape , varying in size from a cherry m r sione to a walnut. These have gen erally 4 point, opposite to which is a hemi , spherical segment, and in their center is an opaque nuclene of one-half to two lines in diameter. Thii species occur generally in summer, in connection with thunder aid lightning. The two kinds, however, ac cording to Saeintz, differ only in size.. As a third and rare species, Arago considers that kind which are transparent, which are unquestionably produced by the freezing of drops of rain falling through a strata of colder air. The form of hailstones is various. The diameter of simple hailstones, at a mean latitude, according to Muncke„ . is not over one and a half inches, larger masses appear ing t 4 be produced by the aggregation of several. There are instances of hailstones beingl 3 as . large as hens' eggs. There are • omen on record of vastly larger ones, but ' most f geese are fabulous. According to Wallace, pieces of ice a foot thick' fell in the Orkneys in 1780. In 1802 a piece of ice fell -in Hungary, which was nearly a cube of three feet.. In all these cases, the mass of ice must have been an aggregation of small lumps, frozen together. ' In 175 F, the bail fell in Ireland, mixed with the sulphuret of iron. Hail generally falls through the day, but sometimes at night also. Smaller hailstones - generally fall in spring: short showers of rain then alternate with sunshine. Fine granular hail frequently occurs on high mountains; on the higher Alps there are generally • twelve fells of the fine for one of regular hailstones. • The real hailstones.belong to the summer season, and are accompanied by severe thunder and lightning. Storms of this kind generally arise after clear calm wea ther, accompanied by long oppressive sill . .triness. The hail clouds appear to sweep low, with their edges jagged, and their lower faces presenting irregular projections, the parts yielding hail generally forming very white streaks, the rest of the cloud being very dark. The barometer and ther mometer sink rapidly, and a peculiar rust ling and afterwards a darkness like an eclipse _takes place. The hail lasts but a short - time, rarely over fifteen minutes, but some - times produces terrible effects. _ _lHail storms move with great velocity, sometimes at the rate of forty miles per hoar. Men have bees killed by them, and ... , nit unfrequently smaller animals. A bail ..-.i, storm occurred in France, in 1788, which devastated 2,039 parishes, and caused the loss of more than 23,000,000 of francs.— The area traveled by bail is generally nar row, rarely over a mile, but its length is romedmes very great. In the tropics, hail seldom occurs, except on' the mountains; . and, at the far north, large hail is seldom Ihe hail tract is generally confined to the region between 30° and 60° latitude, and to elevations under 6,000 feet. Even with . bt these limits there are countries where there is but little hail—simh as in'some of the valleys of Switzerland. In the low ' lands, at the foot of high mountains, 'hail is more abundant at a certain distance from the -mountains. There appears to be no regularity in hill storms: Many plans . have been tried to prevent hail storms, but none-have been successful. 'Electric condncting lilidS were tried in 1776 by Guenaul do Alountbeillard, and in 1820 Thollard recommended hail conductors made of straw ropes, attached to pointed rods, Or 'of straw ropes with a metal wire Interwoven. These methods were much followed, without the least benefit flowing from them; and, at the present day, most meteorologists agree that there is no certain Method of preventi'mg hail storms.—&.Am. INPLUYINCE OP THE RIDIDAILB PLANT IN PRODUCING GRAVEL.—The fourteenth number of Braithwaite's Retrospect of Practical Medieine and Surgery contains an article on this subject, which is calcula ted to alarm those who indulge in' the pies and tarts made of this palateable plant. It seems that it•furnitshes the material of one of the niost, painful and dangerous diseases to which the htunan system Is subject. The substance of the article is brier; this: The young stalks of rhubarb contain oxalic acid, and hard water contains lime ; and consequently those who eat articles of food made of the plant, and drink such water, are introducing into their systena the constituent ingredients of the mulberry calculus, which is an oxalate of lime; and if they are dyspeptic, and unable to digest the acid, "are very likely indeed to incur the pain and the exceeding peril of a renal concretion of that kind." " The oxalate was found in three out of four, after eating the rhubarb." - - - - - This, it must be admitted, is rather startling. 'The mulberry calculus is the most painful form of the concretion of the kidneys and bladder. PThe rhubarb plant has come into extensive we, and is general ly' considered a very wholesome article of diet -If the danger of using it is as great as is represented -in the Retrospect, it should be universally known. Indeed, there would seem to be no reason to infer - that the danger is not confined to thole who use limestone water, for the acid will pro bably, combine with other bases as well as - with lime. The presence of oxalis acid in the plant, perceptible to the taste, would lead one to conclude a priori, that the as cribed effect would result from its use, whenever it is not decomposed by the stars ach,.'which seems to be the case in tile greater proportion of instances; and the experiments leave little room to doubt its "gency in the production of oxalate gravel in the urine.--.4Thany'quitivator , - 'kakis I Books ,-CHMITZ'S History of Greece.—A Hist°. _ ry of Omen Dori Ds es.rUest thaw. to aide/fiction uomoth. 6.6.144 amixoy boned nen tbst of Corn p ' Tbirlersit, D.
