madly to gain an outlet. There was one who
sought to clamber over the table, and still vrat
there holding on to an iron post. fio strong

meaning for thesouivies gone. And . thiainade
it still more horrible then it could have been in
life; for the ippalling 'contortion

expressing' fear, hcirror and dispair,.and what

with the told and glassy eyes, made their va

German journal has given some tables to prove
that the distance between the earth and the sun
is increasing annually; andergues from ft the
increasing humidity of our summers, and
loss of fertility in some portions - of the earth ' ,
are to be attributed solely to this circ'ssmstance.
No credit has heretofore been given to
done of ancient T.gypiians and Chinese, accord
ing to , vitish- these people formerly, said the
sun's dise was almost Shur times as large as we
now 'see it; for they .estimated the apparent,di
ameter of the sun as double what it is seen in
our day. If, however, we pay attention to the
continued diminution of the apparent diameter
of the inn, recording to the. best observations
of : several Centuries, we suppose that the an
cients were not mistaken in the estimates they
have transmitted to In the course of six
thousand years from the Presentlime, they as
sume that the distance will be so great that
only an eighth of the warmth , ere now enjoy .
