If not unacceptable, it may be instructive to your readers to learn what. those who lived thousands of years past knew. and what those who live now know of the wonders of the hen. wens—of the nature of lightning, ecorolites, and other celestial phenomena. As. at. this time, and towards the last of November, we may 100 k for brilliant exhibitions of meteoric streams, some little knowledge of the past. were surely useful. Superstions of paét ages have even throwu around the ordinary phenomena. of natural laws a mystery which the augurs, soothsayers and other Sacerdotal imposters of old were not. slow in turning to account. It. isn great. error to suppose that. we are much wiser than those who lived many centuries before us. Much of what we have discovered was known, and was subsequently 10st, and if, in these low remarks, attention and interest. may he iii-laced to a greater-depth of learning than is usually an laiued, you will have done good by reference to it in your columns. The Chaldeans, Magi and Hierophants of the various orders of mysteries were well versed in natural science. They performed wonders assuming the appearance of miracles. To all appearances, they raised the sick, evoked the (lead, exorcised ml spirits, equalled someﬁf the wondrous acts of Moses, and pl'CSk’nLk’d such excellent cottnt-ert‘eits of truth as to deceive a world. As atmospheric phenomena. inﬂuence {he fate of the labors of the your, ot‘thc HuilSlEt' eucc of the mul‘l‘OW, m- eveu of today, man‘s curiosity and anxiety for the future may well he pardoned, when we regard his helplesmcss, his intense fears, and. in case of success. his gratitude. These form the causes which have ever renderedmcteomlogy so pnwt-z'lulan agent. in the hands of unscrupulous, yet learned men, in all ages. At. this day the scirnce- is so mea gre as to be mortil‘ying; to man’s pride of in tellect. In earliest (lays a knowledge, real or assumed, of the coming changes of weather, of eclipses, of the appearance of comets. ute tecrs, cm, naturally excited religious submiss- SlOn. Observation accustomed philogophers of 03d tojudge of the state ofthe m muSphere—thereby to predict. storms by approaching symptoms— and to create astonishment amungst a simple people having no cognizance of them. Anaxagoras and Democritus in Greece, and Hipparchus at Rome, in ﬁne wealher predicted abundant rains, and this justiﬁed their clear sightedness, while it. as ouished the people.— (Plin. Hist. nut. lxviii. c. xxviii.) Hipparchus predicted eclipses, discovered a. new Star, the procession of the equinoxea. and the pamilax of the planets. He. died 123 years before the Christian era. When adrought had lasted a long time in Arcadia, the priest of.lupit.er Lyczous addressed prayers and offered a. sacriﬁce to the fountnin Hague,- and then touched the surface of the water with an oak brunch. Suddenly were arose a vapor, a, mist, ’9. rain-cloud which soon dissolved into a copious shower. In this, like the story told of Sir Isaac New ton, thnt is related thusz—Sir Isaac Newton, one ﬁne morning, taking an accustomed ride, was accosted by a, cow—herd and assured chum he would be soon overtaken by a shower. As the sky was cloudless and the sun brilliant, Sir Isaac disregarded the remark and rode on; but before he had proueded far, a. heavy shower tell. The philosopher immediately rode back to ascertain the foundation of rho predic tion. “Well, sir,” said the countryman, “all I know about it, is lhis—-—my cow always tmrls her tail in a particular Way before a. shower.” The priest ofJupiter evidently attempted to aosume the miracle on y when promismg cir cumstances guaranties! success, no matter how false or ridiculous a reason might be given. The priests of Samsmmce, in Thracio, dos cendants of the I’elasgi, promised to all who came to consult, them, favorable wind: and a 3 safe voyage. } Debroy, (in his Nonvelles Aunalos des Voy- 3 ages, tom. xviii, p. 123,) writing of the preju dices of the Livonians and others recalls to mind a. religious precept “that ordered the Esthonians to close thxir doors and windows whenever there was a. thunder storm, ‘for fear of allowing the evil spirit. that God was then pursuing to enter.’ ” Dr. Thompson, in com menting hereon, (Phil. of Magic, v. 2. p. 173,) says: “This precept. remin‘us us 01‘ the belief, not unfounded, that a current, of air, especially hurried air, will attract and conduct; the thun dery exylosion.” Why; however, did the people then also use the precaution to place two knives on the window ledge in order to dispel lightning? This he also alleges. But. while this yet misunderstood branch of science was prevalent, that. of electrical phe nomena. and of cosmical matter, was better understood. It. is no detraction to the merit of Dr. Frank lin, to admit. that the ancients were acquainted with the means of drawing lightning from the clouds. From Damascius, (in Isidor, vit. apud Phot. Biblioth God, 242,) we learn that simple facts were ranked among prodigies. For in stance that the horse of Tiberius at Rhodes threw oﬂ’ sparks when strongly rubbed by the hand. He also mentions anoxher. Superstitions terrors forages past have always been awakened by the so-callod ﬁre of St. Elma shining on the masts of ships. ‘ Pomponius (mole. lib. iii. cap. vi.) says the Druidesses of the isle of Sena, pretended to the pOWer of appeasing winds and waves. Did not Empedocles boast of being able to teach the art at enchainin g or loosing the winds, exciting the heavens and calming the tempest? (Diogen. Laert. lib. viii. cap. lix. St. Cle mlent, Alex. Slromata. lih. v.) Did not J ambiicus ascribe to Abaris and Py thagoras, a power no less extended? (Jami). vita Pythag. lib. i. cap. xxviii.) Sopnter, a, native of Apuxnen, :1 disciple of Jamblicus was accused by the murders of Con stamine of having enclmined the winds and causedafaniine; and he wns accordingly t 0!" tured and murdered. . Amongst the magicians proscribed by Char lemngne some were designated as [unpastarzg 9r those who regulated aim-ms, tempest. and hail. (De Aug-mils, et alias Maleﬁcils#cgpltﬂl- 11b -1., cup. lxxxiii., in l'lmo. Purls- 1033-) .

Let us puss what Dion Cassius and John of Antioch say of the abortive expedients of Cali gulu. or that of Sylvius Allndas, (or Remulus,) in imitating thunder, ridiculously, as net lorth by Eusebius. Bntin doing so, be not nnmiulful of what. Ovid saith, (Metamorp. lib, xiv., vet‘s. GlT—lS—Fast. lib. iv., vars ($O,) that that same Prince, dcspising the Gods, had invented a method of imitaliug thunder, in order to pass as a Divinity in the minds of those whom he inspired with terror, by which he lei-ished through imprudvnce or ignorance. as we say, although then ascribed to impiety. “Fulminco perlit milatwﬁtlmiﬁfs ictu,” 3355 Ovid. Virgil (.zEtteid, lib. xii, rers 200,) saith, “ Andiat lime ngor 92113 fulminc fmdora sancﬂ," which would seem to indicate that. in those days it was reguidcd us at miracle that a. nu.- tional treaty should be ratiﬁed by thunder. - Servius, the learned comuiehtulor, (the same quoted by Rubeluis, livrc v., chap. lxrii.) says: “ The ﬁrst. inhabitants of the earth never car ried ﬁre to their altars, but by their prayers brought. down the heavenly ﬁre.” But he also says “ Prometheus discovered and revealed to man the art. of imaging «.1 wn lighming (dici mdomm fulmiizzmz,) and by the process which he taught. to them. he brought down ﬁrevfrom the region above, (supernus (Inn's eliciabatur.) And Servius thinks Numn used the sacred ﬁre for holy purposes; Tullus, for profane. A learned Hebrew, Ben David. has asserted that. Moses underalood the laws of ell ctricity, in which view he has been ably supported by Mr. Hirt, n ceiel‘maied philosopher, ut Berlin. But l‘vliclmelis ourpnsscs him. (Mngnsiu scient. de Gettingen, 3e annie, 59. cahier, 1783.) He says there is no indication that lightning ever struck the temple of Jerusalem during a thousand years. That, according to J osr-phus (Bell. Jud. adv”. Cum 1. v. c. xiv,) a. forest of points, either of gold or gilded, and very sharp. cov ered the roof of the temple. And that these communicated with caverns in the hill upon which it was situated, by metallic pipes acting as conductors. Josephus, horrever, simply alludes l 0 themes resting places for birdsTa result. thought unworthy the plan, or the science of the architect. Zoroaster seams to have been the apostate disciple of the Prophet Daniel. He was the Reformer of the Magi, and evidently acquainted with all the Science of his age. He is said to have perished hy ﬁre from heaven—ﬁre which he had originally and alien brought down for the Persian worship. According to their his tory, he was burn: up by the demon Whom he importuned too often to repeat. his brilliant. miracle. He died about 513, B. G.

They are metalif’erous. some containing perfectly formed mystals of olivine, labrudor ice, and pyroxenl. The fallen mass also gen— erally exhibits the peculiar character of nfrag meat. of prismmic.
