The hour was late, however,' and he felt that it would be better not W make the elaborate, presentation first con templated, as the session, at a part of which, he had been a gratified hearer and looker- on. had alreadx been protracted. He would say thaf this body certainly transacted its business, as far as be bad seen, with remark able dispatch and judgment. The speaker alluded toe dignity of i the 'profession and gatheredfrobretjp a resolution he had' heard read from the Clerk's desk, jmdsvhich wa4 dred,f4hafe North Carolinaeditors felt what.they were and what was expected of them.

The deposits were found in 18567 by Capt "EJ K. Cooper. of Baltimore, and they orig inate, like thbse' cf the Pacific, frbm the droppings of sea birds, juid. also from the accumulation' -of the bones of those birds and other animals under circumstances favorable to their slow decomposition. 'The guano differs "from the : Peruvian in the ab7 sence'of ammoniacal salts, "which" are re placed In the Navassa by.phosphoric acid,; forming 'phosphates ' with Iimen and some little alumina and jrop. j Phosphoric 'acid is one of the most important, agents to veg. etablej life rmore indispensable, even than ammonia, which may be supplied, to a cer tain extent, by atmospheric agencies, where as the phosphoric , add once exhausted, must be'replaced artificially. i i t i j i These phosphates contain, in a dry state, 80 per cent, of bone-phosphate of lime, be ing amoug the very richest known phos phates. 'The first process in the manufac ture is to crush the phosphate by means of a "Blake Crusher. It is then thoroughly dried in an ,4Adt Cylinder Drier,"' after which it is ground to a flour by French burr stones, it is now ready for the mix- ing-room. f Mere . it is ammomated by ad mixture with at least ten different ingredi ents, viz; ; Ground hoofs and horns, animal matter, Jazotin, blood matter of two kinds. sulphate of ammonia, . sulphate of soda, ni. trate of soda, genuine Leopoldshall kainit (composed of potash and magnesia), andsul- 4 phuric acid, which latter Tenders the phos phate soluble.
