At the beginning of this Eclipse the Moon will be vertical in lat. 22® 32' N., and long. 64-® 44' W., which falls in the Atlantic Ocean^ to the north-east of St. Domingo^ and to the north-west of the Caribbee Islands. At the commencement of total dark- ness she will be overhead, in lat. 22® 32' N., and long. 79® 9' E., to the north-west of Jamaica^ and near the southern coast of Cuba. At the middle of the Eclipse she will be in the zenith in lat. 22® 31' N., and long. 90® 56' E., which falls in the Gtil/ of Mexico, and not very far from Cawpeachy, a place though defended by a good wall axd forts, yet was taken by the English in 1659, by the Buccaneers in 1678, and by the Free- booters of St. Domingo in 1685, who burnt it, and blew up the citadel. At the termination of total darkness the Moon will be in the zenith in lat. 22® 30' N., and long. 102° 44' W. ; and at the end of the Eclipse she will be overhead, in lat. 22® 29' N., and long. 117® 9' W. in the South Pacific Ocean., and to the south-west of Cape de St. Lucas, in California, a country now much talked about on account of its extensive gold mines. Hence this Eclipse will be visible to the western parts of Europe and Africa, to the whole of North and South America, and quite round the North Pole. 2. The second is a solar defect, on Wednesday, January 21st, when the eciiptical conjunction of the Sun and Moon takes place, at about 27 min. past 7 o’clock in the morning, and in- visible to us and all Europe. This Eclipse begins on the earth generally at 5h. 33m. a.m. Grccmuich mean time, in lat. 56® 55' S., and long. 24® 10' W., and ends at 8h. 52m. a.m. in lat. 45® 35' S., and long. 161® 38' E. This Eclipse will be visible in the Antarctic Ocean, and will extend itself to New Zealand, and the southern shores of Van Diemen's Land, and where greatest will not exceed five digits and a half. 3. The third is another partial Eclipse of the Sun, on Thurs- day, the 17th of June, in the middle of the afternoon, but in consequence of the Moon having considerable south latitude, the phenomenon will be invisible to us, and all places north of the equator. The ecliptic of the luminaries happens at 4h. 47m. p.M. This Eclipse commences on the earth generally at 2h. 56m. p.m. in lat. 47® 9' S., and long. 106® 15' W., and terminates at 7h. 2m. in lat. 35® 8' S., and long. .33® 3' W. This Eclipse will be visible in the Southern Ocean, and to the southern portions of South America, and where greatest will amount to more than nine digits. 5. The fourth is another total Eclipse of the Moon, early in the afternoon of Thursday, the 1st of July, and as the Moon during the whole time of the phenomenon is below our horizon, of course it must be invisible to us. At the beginning of the Eclipse, which is at 37 min. past 1 o’clock, the Moon is ver- tical in lat. 23® 2.3' S., and long. 155® 31' E., which falls in the PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OP STATIONERS.

Hence this Eclipse will be visible to the principal parts of Asia^ to Austi'alia, to Van Diemen's Land^ New Zealandy the Isles of Soloman, Japan, &c. It will also extend itself to the island of Madagascar^ the western parts of Africa, and the Moon will rise eclipsed at the Cape of Good Hope. 5. The ffth is a total Eclipse of the Sun, on Saturday the 11th of December, long before sunrise, and of course invisible to us. This Eclipse enters upon the earth at Ih. 26m. a.m., in lat. 39° 47' N., long. 87° 25' E., which falls in the centre of Asia^ between China and the empire of the Great Mogul, The central and total Eclipse, commencing to the north of Krasno- larsh, in the centre of the Great Russian Empire, (lat. 59° 22' N., and long. 92° 18' E.,) quickly passes from thence into Chi- nese Tartary, and along towards the Sea of Corea, it crosses the Great Wall of China, and skirts the northern coast of the Yellow Sea, and reaching lat. 37° 28' N., in long. 127° 18' E., I find at 3h. 24m. the Sun will be totally and centrally eclipsed at noon- day. The central Eclipse, directing its course from thence, passes across the western parts of Niphon, the largest of the Japan islands, into the Pacific Ocean; and gliding over some portions of this extensive water, at 4h. .35m. in the morning, according to Greenwich mean time, it leaves the globe in lat. 43° 48' N., and long. 175° 52' E. All idong this track of the central Eclipse the darkness will be of shorter duration than it * was in the famous total Eclipse in Norway, Sweden, &c., on the 28th of July last year, owing to the apparent diameter of the Moon, in the present Eclipse, being not much larger than that of the Sun : nevertheless some of the most notable stars will for a minute or so appear on the arch of heaven I The obscu- ration now gradually becomes less and less, and at 55 min. past 5 A.M. the solar circle is again complete, and the Eclipse is no more seen. This takes place in the Pacific Ocean, lat. 21° 36' N., and long. 170° 8' E. 6. We now come to the sixth and last Eclipse of the present year, which is a partial one of the Moon, on Sunday the 26th of December, in the middle of the day, and therefore invisible to the inhabitants of Great Britain. The Eclipse commences at 33 min. past 11 o’clock in the forenoon, and terminates at 32 min. past 2 in the afternoon. At the beginning the Moon is vertical, in lat. 24° 2' N., long. 173° 53' W. ; and at the end is overhead in lat. 24° 7' N., and 143° 3' E. : therefore it will be visible to the western parts of North America, and round the North Pole ; to all the northern and eastern parts of Asia, to Australia, New Zealand, the South Sea Islands, the Sandwich PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OF STATIONERS. 38 Lunar Occultations.

The first occultation is of Zcta Tauiiy a star of the third magnitude, and will take place on the 2.3rd of Aprils in the night. The immersion will be at 9h. 50m., and the emersion at lOh. 4.3m.; see Jig. 1. — The next occultation worthy of notice is the same star again, and happens on the 11th of August^ early in the morning, when the star will immerge at Ih. 5in., and emerge at Ih. 53m. ; sec fig. 2. — On the 26th of November the Moon will occult Epsilon Tauri, a star of about the third magnitude ; immersion 57 min. past 8 ; and emersion 11 min. after 10 o’clock at night : see fig. 3.

The Solar system is a piece of machinery, infinitely transcend- ing ail that the mind of man can conceive of magnitude of intricate yet simple movement, and of most elaborate, yet bene- PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OF STATIONERS, ficial operation ; a system of bodies vast in themselves, and far removed from each other ; their courses and influences extend- ing over a space many hundred millions of miles from the main- spring of their complicated movements. These movements are concentric, eccentric, and some intersective ; one class of its members moving in the same common plane and in the same direction; another class, in planes making all possible angles with, and moving in paths entirely adverse to each other, yet each invariably pursuing its own course as an independent body, and all observing the same centre, and obeying the same fixed and immutable laws. The Grand Mechanist of this wondrous frame is the Creator of the Universe ; the scene of operation is a portion of space ; the period of the construction and the length of its duration, that part of Eternity called Time ; and the whole system, in its formation, locality, and various revolutions, commanded into being with a particular view to an especial and unintermitted providential government, which shall redound to the honour of the Great Creator, and the advantage and felicity of his intel- lectual creation. 9 .

January was a severe frosty month, with frequent snow in the middle of the month : on the 14th, 1 5th, and 22nd the thermometer stood from 22° to 19°. February was remarkable for mildness and violent gales of wind ; a very stormy period to the 17th ; and on the 6th much damage throughout the kingdom by a severe gale from the north-west: after the 17th fair and pleasant to the end. March to the 16th was fair and mild, afterwards stormy with heavy snow', and very severe frost to the 29th day : the thermometer on the 26th went down to 16°! April was‘ changeable and often showery to the 23rd, afterwards fair, with dry easterly winds. May was rainy and gloomy to the 16th: from thence to the end very fine, warm, and growing weather. On the 31st the thermometer rose to 75° in the shade. June was very hot and dry throughout; on many days the thermometer exceeded 80°, and on Sunday the 23rd it was at 84° ! much thunder in many places on the 26th day.

Here let us pause a moment, and consider the significancy of these positions, and we shall soon find that, though dark and gloomy be the present season of the year, yet the universal spread of knowledge will drive away the clouds of error and superstition, and cheer our hopes with a more brilliant horizon than in times past. Mankind now see more and more that it is not ordained by the great Author of all things that any of them should for ever toil for the purpose of supporting the pride and selfishness of others. There is a wo pronounced against those “ who lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and yet they themselves touch not the burdens with one of their fingers.” Let even-handed justice be dealt out to all ; then murmurings and discontent will cease : III fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay: Princes and lords may flourish or may fade ; A breath can make them, as a breath has made : But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride.

At home the people seem awake to anything like maladministration of our public affairs, &c. Many of the great ones will quit their public course about this period of the present year. The Great Exhibition of 1851 continues to be a matter of much conversation, both at home and abroad. It unfolded the powers of man in a way never before seen, and if the results should be good feelings throughout the nations of the earth, its existence may well have been hailed as a valuable boon to society. — Man was never designed by Providence to be a selfish creature, but to do good as well as to receive good ; — Nothing in nature, much less conscious being, Was e’er created solely for itself.

Of the Estival or Summer Quarter, According to the astronomical division of the Seasons, this Quarter is considered to begin at the time of the Sun’s arrival on the parallel of his greatest northern declination, which this year happens on Monday the 21st of June at 7h. 29m. when we have the 2d degree of ^ on the eastern angle, and 8 degrees of T on the southern.

From the whole I am led to think that fresh troubles are brewing in Ireland, and many I fear will suffer great privations from conflicting circumstances. When will superstition vanish from that “ island of the sea,” and her inhabitants learn to rely more on the Scriptures of truth, and less on the follies of Popery ? Of the Autumn Quarter. At this ingress of the Sun into Libra (which takes place on Wednesday, September 22d, at 9h. 41m. p.m.), I find the planet 5 in the third house, ^ in the 4th ; © and ^ in the 5th ; 1/ in the 6th ; 5 in the 8th; ^ in the 11th, and Ij i^^ar the cusp of the 12th house. Although I 2 11 were in ^ on the 6th of September, yet at this ingress those ponderous bodies are within orbs of their notable opposition. Independent of this, no mutual aspect marks this ingress. The lunar aspects about tliis time are ]) m A with •)(* with 1/, in A with ©, and in □ with Mars. By way of drawing a judgment from these positions, we may readily observe that great and eminent mutations are rapidly following each other on the'wings of Time, changes that few ever expected thirty or forty years ago. Such are the inscrutable vvays of Providence, that the very means we often take to ward off an event, proves in the end the main cause of bringing it about.

MOORE 1853. 51 2Fan>ties!» Dressing Potatoes^ Mr. Cuthill, the eminent horticulturist of Camberwell, advises the following process ; — “ After April the potatoes ought to be peeled at night for the one or two o’clock dinners ; and for late dinners, at any time before nine in the morning. I have re- peated this experiment many times, and the improvement in the quality of the potatoes is very great. It is a w'ell-known fact that, owdng to the inherent nature of the potato to grow, it will push in spite of every precaution to stop its growth, leaving the tuber spongy, and with much of its water extracted out of it ; and this is the reason why no stale cut vegetable can ever look well. By peeling, and steeping in cold spring w^ater for ten or twelve hours, the pores and cells become filled, however flaccid the tuber may be ; and in the process of boiling, this fresh w’ater is again discharged, taking wuth it all bad fla- vour, as w’^ell as partly removing the dark spots which are often found in late-kept potatoes. I tried them steeped in salt and water, thinking that, in boiling, the salt would remain in the cells, w hich it did, and gave the potato a better flavour ; but the salt turned the outside very brown and did not look well. I have also steeped cut-sets, which in twelve hours became firm ; and steeping seeds would, no doubt, have a beneficial effect upon late-planting sets : but water takes a time penetrating through the rough skin of a whole potato.” Dldei'-flower JVine, or English Frontignac, To every gallon of water add tw'o pounds of lump sugar ; boil them all together, and clear with the whites of eggs. Have ready picked from the stem, for ten gallons of liquor, three quarters of a peck and a pint of elder flowers, and when the liquor is nearly cold pour it upon the flowers and stir well. To every gallon add one pound of raisins of the sun stoned, one spoonful of the syrup of lemons, and to the whole four spoonfuls oKeast. Let it work two or three days, stirring it well three times each day : then put it into a barrel with one ounce of isinglass and a pint of brandy ; close it up well, and let it stand six months before you bottle it. Take care that the cask is quite dry before you put it in, otherwise it will turn acid.

Ammonia in Stables, In order to prevent the injury to the eyes of horses, which is the consequence of the ammonia arising from the urine, the following plan is recommended for fixing it. Procure a quantity of granulated or powdered peat-charcoal, w'hich is very cheap, and can be applied by any stable-boy. Such is the affinity between ammoniacal gas and peat-charcoal (carbon), that the former, whenever it is any where near the latter, is attracted to and retained by it ; and thus the serious evil of the dissemina- tion of the poison is entirely eradicated. Moreover, the inter- mixture forms a most valuable manure, and wdll amply repay the expense of the trivial alteration which it wdll be expedient, but not indispensable, to make, by excavating the centre and end of the stall to a depth of about twelve inches, and partially filling up the excavation with the charcoal (the communication from the centre to the end being by a simple drain), which will entirely absorb and deodorize the gas. Gravy, The following method of making gravy, being very simple and always at hand, may be found useful. Dip an ox’s liver in water as soon as it comes from the butcher, and take it out imme- diately. Mix one pound of coarse brown sugar w ith half a pound of common salt, and rub the liver with it daily for a week or ten days according to its size : then take three ounces of salt- petre and one pound of common salt, boil them to a brine with sufficient w'ater to cover the liver. Let the liver lie in it six W'ceks, then hang it up in the kitchen like bacon. When the gravy is required, cut off a piece of the liver about the size of a mans finger : this reduced to thin shavings is enough for a pint of w'ater, in which let it boil half an hour, and then strain off. This gravy is excellent for poultry or game, and no salt nor pepper should be added. With a meat bone a piece of ic makes good soup. PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OF STATIONERS. MOORE 1853. 53 Recommendation to Coitagei'S. All cottagers that have the means of doing so, that is, who have a garden, should keep bees and a pig. The latter may be got up to a very fair size, by feeding him regularly on produce irom the garden and the wash from the house. Instead oi beginning, as some do, by giving meal and pollard, keep the hard feeding until he is more than half fat ; and then buy some oats (the quantity of course must depend on the size of the pig), and give him these whole instead of barley-meal.^ Thus he ^^1 be fatted at much less expense than is usually incurred. Ho not try to sell the pig till he is killed ; as, generally speaking, more can be got for it when cut up than alive : besides, you may get several days’ dinner from the inside, by means of the chitterlings and the hog-puddings. The former, as soona ^ taken out of the pig, must be turned inside out, cleaned, scoured, salted, scraped, and washed in many waters, till they are per- fectly sweet and nice : then twist them into little plaits, and boil several hours. They may be eaten hot when first re-warmed on a gridiron, or in a Dutch-oven. For the hog- puddings, if you intend to make these, save a rather more of the blood, and let it be stirred with salt till quite cold. When cold, add a quart of whole grits, and let them soak one night : soak also the crumb of a quartern loaf m two quarts ot boilin«* milk. In the mean time prepare the guts by washing, turning, and scraping with salt and water, and changing the water several times. Chop fine a little sage, winter savoury, or marjoram, and thyme ; some add a leek or two finely shred ; mix as much pepper, salt, allspice, and ginger as will season the whole. If they m-e intended for sale, grate in a small nutmeg. Chop up some hogs’ fat, not so fine as is usually done with suet ; mix well the bread, grits, fat, and seasoning, and put them m the skins ; tie in links only half filled, and boil them m a large kettle, pricking them as they sw-ell, otherwise they will burst. When foiled, lay them between clean cloths till cold, and then hang them up. When to be used they must be boiled or toasted. Of Drowning. It often happens that, when persons are apparently drowned, life is not quite extinct, and may be prese^ed by prompt and nersevering exertions. As soon as the body is taken out of the water let it be conveyed to the nearest public-house, or any other ’house that will hospitably receive it : let no time be lost in sending for medical aid ; and if one doctor be not in the way, send for another without scruple. In the mean time let the wet clothes be taken off, and the body thoroughly dried by rubbing with cloths ; then let it be wrapped in a warm blanket, keeping PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OP STATIONERS. c 3 54 Varieties. the face upwards and the shoulders a little raised. Having- placed it on a bed or mattress, made thoroughly hot with the warming-pan, rub it diligently but gently with warm cloths or flannels all over, but especially over the belly, chest, and limbs : after a little time the warmth of the body should be still further promoted, by placing it in a moderately warm bath of water, brewers’ grains, sand, ashes, or any other matter most easily obtained. If there be not a sufficient quantity of these things at hand to immerse the whole body, flannel bags filled with them may be applied to the hands, feet, and under the armpits ; or cloths made hot by the w-arming-pan, or heated bricks, or bottles filled with hot water ; or blankets and flannels wrung out of hot water, may be w rapped round the body, and renowned as they be- come cold. While these things are going on, the pipe of a pair of bellow's should be applied to one nostril, the other nostril and the mouth being closed. Blow' gently till the breast be a little raised, then let the mouth be free, and an easy pressure be made on the chest. This imitation of natural breathing should be repeated till signs of life appear, and then gradually discontinued. If bellow's are not at hand, blow in the same manner, through a quill, reed, or small pipe. This important means of restoring the power of breathing must be sedulously attended to. When breathing begins, touch the inside of the nostrils with a feather dipped in spirits of hartshorn, or sharp mustard, or blow some pepper or snuff into them. Though success may not seem to attend the efforts used, they should, nevertheless, be persevered in ^Qv four hours at least; and if they should prove successful, they must not be too speedily suspended. When the person recovers so far as to be able to swallow', give him, by spoonfuls, a little W'arm wdne or spirits, mixed with water. When life is completely restored, the sufferer should remain at rest in a w'arm bed, taking w'arm and nourishing drinks, by which perspiration may be promoted and strength sustained. All violent and rough usage is to be avoided, such as shaking the body, holding it up by the heels, &c. Salts. To distinguish medicinal salts, Epsom, Glauber, or Chelten- ham, from poisonous articles nearly similar in appearance, as oxalic acid, &c., the following is an easy test. Before w-etting the salts take a small pinch and throw it into the fire ; if it be the proper thing, it will dissolve away like snow ; but if it spirtle and send up a blue flame like a match, it is certainly something amiss : besides, the proper salts have a bitter and rather soapy taste, w'hile the poisonous salts have a sharp, acrid, and burnine: baste. ^ PRINTED rOR ins COMPANY OP STATIONERS. 55 MOORE 1853. Broth, A pound of lean meat will make about a quart of broth, not more. If two or three kinds of meat are used, the broth is more nourishing and better flavoured ; and little trimming bits of beef, veal, and mutton may often be got at the butcher’s very cheap. The proportion of water wull be three pints to each pound of meat, to be boiled till reduced to a quart or rather less. The meat will then be good for eating, and the broth fit to strain off ; an onion added will improve the flavour. Tho gristly parts of an animal, such as knuckle and breast of veal, shanks of mutton, &c., aftbrd the most strengthening broth, but not so rich flavoured as that wdiich is made from lean meat, especially from the loin of the animal. It is very well, if you can, to have part of both. Some persons are apt to let broth stand till cold, in order to clear it of the fat ; but broth is best w'hen fresh made ; and if the fat be objectionable it may be nearly all removed with a spoon, and what remains might be drawn aw’ay by laying on the top a piece of blotting paper. Gargles, If a softening gargle be wanted, as when the throat is loaded with mucus, which it is found difficult to discharge, take an ounce of marsh-mallow^ roots, and three or four Turkey figs : boil them in a quart of milk and water till nearly half reduced ; then strain the liquor on a table-spoonful of honey, and add half an ounce of volatile sal ammoniac. If a sharp scouring gargle be w'anted, to brace the throat and palate, the following is recom- mended : — Take a handful of red rose-leaves, pour over them a pint of boiling w^ater ; in half an hour pour it off, and stir in two spoonfuls of honey, and half a pint of vinegar. Spirits of vitriol w^ould answer the purpose of the vinegar better, and be cheaper, but it is a dangerous drug to stand about, and must be kept and used wdth great caution. Put as much in the gargle as will make it pleasantly sharp. — A very good gargle ; a pint of bran tea, sweetened with honey, and one ounce of tincture of myrrh.

They consist of poles five inches square, and then sawed from corner to corner, forming two triangular pieces. These are joined by a number of common iron butt hinges according to their length, and have a handle at each end to open them : thus, when open, one of these forms a safe and easy foot-bridge about fourteen inches wide ; but when shut, presents an angular projection, over which neither cattle nor sheep can "Escape from Fire, In case of a person’s clothes being set on fire, instead of throw- ing open the door, and running into the road, as is too often done by the sufferer in extreme terror, or by those around him, who, instead of rendering aid, run out to seek it, let the person PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OF STATIONERS. 57 rw^ w w A MOORE 1852. (particularly if a female, whose dress ignites so rapidly) fall on the ground, and roll in a carpet, blanket, curtain, cloak, coat, or 'whatever thick woollen article may be at hand. If any other persons are present they should assist in doing this, and be par- ticularly careful to keep all doors and windows shut, as every draught of air stimulates the flames, which it is the object to de- press. Burn or Scald. In any case of burning or scalding, which is not so bad as to require medical assistance, or until such assistance can be se- cured, apply a rag dipped in cold water, and keep it constantly wet wdth a sponge ; or immerse the part in cold water till the pain is relieved ; then take it out, and as soon as the pain re- turns plunge it in the water as before. Do not continue the immersion so long as to produce numbness, but only so as to relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation. If it is thought necessary to persevere in the use of some surgical application, Goulard’s lotion w'ill be the most suitable. When the finger or any other part has been slightly burnt, it is an excellent practice to keep the part almost constantly wet with spirit of sulphuric ether. This is a most effectual application for checking the inflammation w'hich would otherwise follow, and the immediate relief it affords is delightful. To clear the Eyes of Lime or Dirt. Syringe the eye immediately with warm w^ater, so as to wash out every particle of lime or mortar, even from underneath the upper eyelid, w^hich may be done by setting the point of the syringe under the outer edge of the upper lid. The eye should be kept constantly open, and on no account covered wdth a bandage ; but a green shade, like the front of a bonnet, may be Vtoruy and the eye frequently fomented with water for several days by means of a large sponge. If the inflammation should not subside after washing the eye, it may be proper to apply five or six leeches as near the eye as possible. A little cooling physic might be serviceable. Of Wounds. All the good that can be done by any outward application is to keep the parts soft and clean, and to defend them from the air. Much mischief may be done by the application of hot balsams, tinctures, and oils. Provided a wound does not bleed excessively, it heals the better for being allow ed to bleed freely. PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OP STATIONERS. 58 Varieties. In case therefore of a common cut, the best way is to tie it up with dry lint or rag, or lay on a piece of common adhesive plaster such as surgeons use ; not the black or court plaster, as It disagrees with some persons, and produces inflammation. This adhesive plaster shoiild be always kept in the house : it will keep a long time and costs very little. It is not however proper to tie up a wound or apply plaster to it, if any dirt or other foreign substance should be lodged in it. In that case, the part should be carefully washed with a feather or sponge and warm water. Then, if the bleeding has ceased, draw the edges of the wound close together, and place over some strips of adhesive plaster ; these should be of different lengths arM placed slantwise across the cut, one over the edge of another ; and over this place a finger-stall or binder of linen or riband, as may be most suitable to the situation of the wound. The first dressing should not be removed for a day or two, unless con- siderable pain shows that something is wrong. Nothing more is required than to keep the part clean, and renew the plaster until quite healed. Poisons. If opium, laudanum, nightshade, or poisonous fungus mis- taken for mushrooms, or any other stupifying poisons have been taken, or even spirituous liquors in such quantity as to produce the like eflects, namely, sickness, giddiness, stupor, and drowsi- ness, give instantly a table-spoonful of flower of mustard in water, and repeat it wdth large draughts of warm w^ater, or milk and water mixed with oil or melted butter or lard. If the person becomes so insensible as not to be easily roused, give the mustard in vinegar instead of water, dash basons of cold water at the head, and rub and shake the body actively and constantly. The Barometer. The knowledge of the proper uses of this instrument is so important to the farmer, and an ignorant or careless use of it so injurious, that we think it right to keep it constantly before our readers. It should be well understood therefore that the principal cri- terion of the kind of weather to be expected, is the relative motion of the mercury in the tube, and that its absolute height is only of secondary importance, w'hen atmospherical changes are to be anticipated. The w'ords engraved on the register-plate should not be much regarded, as they cannot alw'ays be relied upon to correspond with the state of the w'eather : for this reason thq PRINTED FOR THE COMPANY OF STATIONERS, fTiniw-w- A MOORE 1852. 59 words are more deserving of notice when the mercury has just moved from “ changeable” upwards or downwards. The absolute height of the mercury is a safe prognostic when it IS unusually high or low ; and the following observations upon it may frequently be found to be extremely serviceable; — 1. All appearances being the same, the higher the barometer is, the more likely is the weather to be fair. When the baro- meter is high, it will be found that very dark and dense clouds pass completely over, and that there is very little probability of immediate rain. 2. When the barometer is low, it sometimes rains almost without any appearance of clouds ; and though the sky may seem to promise fair weather, it may be depended upon that the appearances will not continue long ; the face of the sky changes very suddenly on such occasions. Also, when the barometer continues low, there is seldom much rain, though a fair day is very rare ; the general character of the weather at such times is short, heavy, and sudden showers, with squalls of wdnd from the W., N.W., or S.W. 3. The barometer is highest of all during a long frost, with a N.E. wind ; and it is lowest of all during a thaw following a long frost, and accompanied by a S.W. wdnd. 4. In all places nearly on a level with the sea, rain may be expected when the mercury falls below thirty inches. To judge rightly of the changes to be expected in the weather, we should especially ascertain whether the mercury is actually rising or falling. This will be always seen by regularly adjusting the index of the barometer. The following rules may be generally relied upon : — 1. The rising of the quicksilver generally presages fair weather ; the falling generally indicates rain, snow, and, if the fall be great, high wdnds and storms. 2. When bad weather quickly succeeds the falling of the mercury, it will not be of long continuance. Similarly, when fair weather soon follows the rise of the quicksilver, we must not calculate on its continuance for any length of time. 3. On the contrary, if, in bad weather, the mercury rises considerably, and continues in an advancing state for two or three days before the fair weather sets in, we may expect a continuance of fair weather. And if, in clear w^eather, the mercury falls remarkably for two or three days together before the rain sets in it is then highly probable that it will be succeeded by much rain, and perhaps high winds. 4. In winter, the rising indicates frost ; and m frosty w’eather, if the mercury falls three or four divisions, there will certainly follow a thaw ; but if it rises in a continued frost, it will alw'ays be accompanied wdth snow.

If the earth continues moist, and water stands in hollow places, no trust should be put in the clearest sky. TIMBER MEASURE. A load of timber, unhewn, is 40 cubic ft.!
