For the purpose of ascertaining the nature of the colouring substance, and submitting it to a future analysis, I procured a quantity of snow from a piece of ice that had been washed by the sea, and was greatly discoloured by the deposition of some peculiar substance upon it. A little of this snow, dissolved in a wine glass, appeared perfectly nebulous; the water being found to contain a great number of semi

The late eminent judge, Lord Meadowbank, found this sort of refuse the very best matter to be added to peat moss, in order to bring it into complete fermentation, and to produce the rich manure known to agriculturists by the name of Meadowbank compost. Fenks might likewise be used, it is probable, in the manufacture of prussian blue, and also for the

The Guarapema, called so by the Brazillian Indians from its swiftness, abounds on their coast; and is distinguished from the common Dorado, chiefly, by its larger size, by the colour of the fins and tail, which is a bright yellow, and by the blue spots on its sides, which are round and beautiful.
