Spontaneous decomposition of a fa
bric of sitk.
On the ni&hc of March 19th,
lS 01, during the ceilion of con
preis at VValhington, Jonathan
D.ty.or., one of tne feruior* then
iu< ndin; t Irom the state of Ntw-
Jeifcy, fdttained a lots of a pair
or black iilk llot in an un
common manner. On undres
iing hitnfdf at bed-time, his
itoc kings were the lad o’ his gar*
aients which lie took off. The
weather being cold lie wore two
pair, the inner of wool and the
outer of silk. When he (tripped
off the lilk (lockings, he let
them dro.) on a woolen carpet
lvitig by the bed tide; and one
of his garicis, which was of
wnite woollen feireting, fell down
wan the dockings.— she under
on being pulled off
were thiown at fame dulante,
near the loot of the bed. He
observed on leparating and re
moving the (ilk iron
(.he woollen ones, thac tiieie wa
an unuiual flapping, and (park
ling of electric matter. But as
he had been long acquainted
with the appearance, it attracted
Out ttanfient notice :
He fell asleep, and lemaioed
undilturbed until morning, when
che iervanc entered to kindle the
hie. The man observed iha r
one of the leather flippers, lying
on the carper, and partly covered
by one of the (lockings, was ve
iv much burnt, Mr. Dayton
then role, and found that the
lea ner over which the lloc kings
h.id lain were converted to a
coal, she dockings were chang
ed to a brown, or wnat is com
tuouly cahed a butter nut color
And although, to the eye, ts

and handle them, they were fount. !
to be wholly deftituce of cohefi- 1
on, their texture and ilrucfure
being altogether destroyed. No
thing but a remnant of coroGnic
matter was left, except that a
part of the heel of one of the
(lockings was not decomposed.
Though this deftru&ion of the
(lockings took place during the
night when nobody saw the
manner and circumftanccs of the
process, yet there was evidence
enough of their evolution of
much caloric while it was going
on : for every thing in contabh
with the (lockings was turned to
coal or cinder, befnie .the flip
per before mentioned, the garter
was burned. It had fallen part
ly on toe carper, arid partiy on
and between the dockings. As
(ar as it touched the (dockings it
wa.-> perfectly disorganised and
_cai bonated, and immediately
beyond that limit was as sound
as ever. The part of the carpet,
with us fringe which lav between
the (lockings and the floor, was
in like manner totally deft-oyed,
ju(t as ur as it was Covered by
che dockings, and no farther.—
Tile wooden plank, which was
o’ pitch pine was alio considera
bly ftorched ; arxi beneath the
place wncre the thickelt folds of
the (lockings had lain, was con
verted to charcoal or lamb-blacK.
ro a conliderable depth. In
throwing down the (lockings
when they wtre pulled off, it
happened that about a third part
of the length of one of them fi ll
not upon the carpet, but upon
the bare floor; This part of the
flocking was decomposed like
the rest, and the floor very much
scorched where it had lain.
Tiit-re was very iirtlt fire on
the hearth, and the little there
was ei c :ht or nine feet diflant.
Tne Cciiuiie had been carefully
extinguilhed, and flocxl, on a
table in a nother direction, and
abouteqjallv dnUnt. Indeed, no
application of burning coals or
of lighted candles could have
produced the effects which have
been di scribed. It would leem
that the combustion, if it may be
lb” calied, proceeded from a sur
charge anticrouon (caloric,) or
election (electricity,) in the riik,
accumulated means not well un
derllood, and thac not being,
reftraoL to any known externa!
agent, it may, m the present
date of our information, be ter
med spontaneous.
The fuoftances chiefly con fu
med were leather, wool, silk and
reliaous wood.— The linen lin
.:ng of the flipper was indeed
Ideftroyed ~s far as the leathtr it
touched was deftroye-J. But
where it did not come in con
tad, ic escaped, and the fire
mowed no disposition to burn
even tne iintn beyond the boun
daries picfciibed to ic on the lea
ther.
What is the theory of this
phenomenon? With what other
fads is it immediately connected ?
Whatever men of fcicncc may
determine on their points, one
thing items to b; evident, that
and lpontaneous combustion can
napped thus to bodies lo little

ANECDOTE.
THE late Duke of Richmond
had forne capital hunters in Sus
sex. A monkey who was kept
in the fame ttable was remarka
bly fond of riding the Rories,
skipping from one to the other,
and teasing the poor animals m
ceflantly. The groom n.acic a
complaint to the Duke, who im
mediately formed a plan tv) ie
medy the evil. “Ifheis so
fond of riding,” said his gtuCt,
“ we’ll endeavor to give him c
nough of 11.” A complete jock
ey drels was ptovided for the
monkey, and the next time the
hounds went out, jacko in his u
niform was (trapped to the back
of one of the belt hunters. The
view-hollow being given, away
chey went, through thick and
thin : the horse carrying (o light,
a burthen presently left all. the
company behind. Some of’ the
party pa fling by a farming house,
enquired or a countryman whe
ther he had seen the :ox. u /lye
zure t (said the man,) he ie gone
over yon fallow.'’’ “ And was
there any one up with him ?” “
IVhuy, 1 ez, (said John) there be
a little tnan in a yellow jacket, ri
ding as though the devil be in urn.
I hope from my heart the young
gentleman may at meet with a jail,
but he rides>ncft monjlreously hard.
The experiment had the be
fired drebt ; jacko was fulficicnt
ly chafed by his exerc.fe to make
him dislike the fight of a hoile
or a (table ever afterwards.
