Vs to the neutrality and destruction ol cohesion at the centre from subcumbent ma ter gives me no idea, for the attractive matter tends to that point from every point on the surface ; but as this effluvia or aura of gravitation is constantly tending to the centre, it appears natural to conjecture, that some modification should be made on it by condensation, to make space for the aura cf gravi tation, which must be constantly re turning to the centre. We have an example in the solar focus formed by the burning e;l ass, also, in the 'elec tric jar, when highly condensed it issues forth in t he form of I ight from"' the jar ; also the sun himself, while he is continually receiving the re tu roing aura of gravitation he is forever emitting h is 1 ighti The a t -mosphere-beif.g accumulated at the poles, the poles will he centres of aerial fiLdvvi'ation $ and "t he aura ol without complaint: but the mated was no sooner applied for the 83d and last for the age of Mr Jeffewou; than he exnirrd an a (un f That 1 Millie burst as if determined after performing the last duty to the mem Dry pfjiim. affrr whopthe was na med, to quit the world forever We are happy to state that n- person was injured by the accident.
