Again: the space through which a body will fall in feet, in any given time, equal the product of the square of the time, multiplied by 16. 0833. Hence the space a body will pass through in seven seconds 16. 0833x72788. 0817 feet. Force of gravity is also the restrictive cause to a pendulums motion; consequently its motion at any place is dependent upon the energy of the force of gravity at that place. Pendulums of the same length vibrate slower the nearer they are brought to the equator, because of the earths spheroidal form, its polar axis being about twenty-six miles shorter than its equatorial diameter; for which reason, also, gravity is lessened th part, the centrifugal force arising from the diurnal motion of the earth being greater at the equator than at the poles. The measure of the force of gravity in feet, per second, at any place, is equal to the product of the length of a pendulum that beats seconds; these multiplied by 9. 8696; or, if any length of a pendulum be taken in feet, and the time in seconds observed between each of its oscillations, then the length of the pendulum divided by the square of the time in seconds, and the quotient multiplied by 9. 8696, the product equal the number of feet, by which gravity will at that place increase the velocity of the descent of a falling body in each second of time.

It will not be out of place here to add the form in which the other meteorological stations of the coasts of China and Japan send their daily observations and thus give a complete idea of the telegraphic service we have in relation with other observatories. The other stations on the coast of China send their observations in the same form as our Observatory, with the exception of using inches and the Fahrenheit scale instead of the decimal system. The cablegrams from the Japan stations consist of a group of four figures, for example: 6513, of which the two first give the reading of the barometer reduced to sea-level and corrected for temperature and gravity, the standard value adopted being that of latitude-45; the third figure represents the direction of the wind, only 8 points of the compass being taken into account, of which NE is is represented by 1, E. by 2, and so on; the fourth figure gives the force of the wind, the scale being 0-6. These cablegrams are received twice daily, namely, 6 a. m. and 2 p. m. mean time of meridian 135 east of Greenwich.

D. , New Orleans, Louisiana. 8 vo. pp. 1348, Cloth. Illustrated by wood-cuts and chromo-lithographs. We have received the above work with much pleasure, and only regret that space precludes the possibility of our giving it that extended notice which its merits so eminently deserve. A work from the pen of Dr. Jones deserves more than a passing notice. For more than thirty years ha has been a prominent figure in the front ranks of medical progress He has been a Henry of Navarre in the profession, whose fair white plume, without blot or stain, we have all been pleased to recognize. Probably no one in the South was better qualified for this. task. His peculiar analytical modes of thought, his abundant opportunities for clinical observation as well in hospital as general and j military practice, peculiarly fitted him for the above work. Dr. Jones has long been recognized as the microscopist of the South; in fact, has an international reputation in this specialty, and his investigations of these fevers cannot fail to be of great interest since the germ theory is claiming such universal professional recognition. It was fitting that we should have a treatise upon this subject by one to the manor born, who had devoted his life partiularly to the diseases indigenous to tropical and temperate latitudes.
