BY CEORUE F. EOtKINS, ESQ.
It is observable in idnlost every ope rat on
of nature, t.iat all fluids j osi.ess stio..g aggie
gating pid i eit es ; or in or. er words, j ower
ful pto, e..s.t es to accumulate in laige mas
ses or Lotl.es. T.us tact is so fam.iiur in t. e
element of water* la> w ell as the extensive col
lecto.is o.‘ Vapor, wa.cn ate soon embod.ed
into clouds, that it is o.dy l.ecessaiy to make a
mere ailus.oa to t..em. Taut ti.c same prin
ciple governs in relation to the element if
u.ectr.c.ty or file, 1 pieoutuo to le 1.0 .ess true
I’.ie natu.fe and p.o, ert.fcs of ti.e sun itsetl
j tar as tney aie URt'ersloj i, may be dec met
o.iclus.ve on tins j onit. Tins migitty o!> ect
ie instrument of ligut and life, is evidentl'
.ii agg.egation of all t..e vital principle if
ieat thut belongs to our system; though it i.
iow weil understoni. that this “ocean of
t.me” is iiOt a mere collection o.’ sue, as ha;
een supposed, but is co.met ed with inco.i
oivablv large massei of materials of axer
v>hd lii.tuit. Fiotn this vast mass, most co
.o.tsstreams are incessantly joined iqont.i
.ant's. T.iis is weil known ro Le inchspe. •
ili.e to the very existence of animal and veg<
.ir e hie. I’er.iaji.s, to r, it is as much a j)ii
tary law in the government and movement,
a’ t.te planets as in t e propaga
inn and preservation of animal and vegetabh
ix steiice. Without the constant exercise « f
tis rrtO t pote t agency, the earth could nc
tier b.* cot ed with verdure, nor could tlieit
>e support for the name e s *.r;bej of 1
heiugi that inhabit it.
As we approach the summer sols’.ice, w<
ihd t.te cart.i ptoij e.y ci). r o ed wit i heat
ijt it boco.rtt*) much more intense af erward,
t co iscque.ice of the great ir.ciea.se. To
ounte. act an influence so universally predom
hant and stro tg that, were it to continue
vo ild soon prove overw ielming, some ener
getic reacting principle or agent in the system
-vas required, in order to produce a salutary
oo.Tectiv#; for it was both a wise and indis
cusable provision in nature, to ordain a per
naneut law that sliould afford the requisite re
ef from its enervating and pernicious pres
s ire. Without the help of some active prin
cipleof this kind, it were scarcely necessary
to say, there could be no duration of life or
healtii. Animal and vegetable cx ster.ee would
,oj:i be extinguished. Every thing, in short,
would perish; and in place of tiiat sp'endor
md be tuty which every where present tr.em
ielves to the enchanted eye, ti e face of crea.
ho i would be parched, withered, and cot.
sumed.
T.iat incomprehensible w‘sdo-n wM< h
guides and balances c.eat on, of which we arc
lestir ed to know nothing but f.om its effects,
'eaves no part of its works imperfect or un
(inished. T.iC same creative power has there.
n e o daired, taut thesupembunda ice of that
element which, without some different dispoa
t on, would lead to the annihilation of all life
and of every vegetative germ, shall be made
the great means of pic erving both. And the
mo ewe e iter into an examinat on of tl o c
laws and opera! ons of nature which appear
so wo iderful, .and whch in many paits aie so
inscrutable, the mo e are we astonished and
channel in co itemplating their well adjusted
harmony and surprising beauty.
T.ie immense portion of heat which per
vades t e carta in the warm season is, from its
inherent properties, constantly aggregating in
numberless masses of varons dimens'ons,
there does not remain in my mind the smal'e it
doubt* And what e’se is the e’ectricitv that
is pro luced bv art, and made to issue from a
macuire but a simple co’lectio i or multipFca
t’on of that sustaining or animating principle,
drawn suddenly to a point by some strong at
tractive property ?
To this inherent princple alone. I conceive,
mav be traced the origin and existence of those
bodies of unusual heat, of which Mr. Jeffer
son, in his celebrated Notes on Virginia,”
| * “ Going out info the open nir, in the tempera'e anH
iin the warm months of the year, we often meet with
(Da ?SUW , u , 3!3 & PUEIQSMSE.

lat.on to trace to .-on c imj ortant end, t! e ori
gin, des gn, and puipojeof their fonnation.
1 have witi cssed tl.esc worm moving todies
in almost r.umbctless instances. They were
familiar to me in my early 1 fe, my iesidrr.ee
then being i ear tie foot of a of vciy
onsii'eiubie elevation in the eastern pa it of
Dutchess county ; and t! c supj osition lollows
that ti cy aie familiar to many others. At the
same time, I am led to believe, that tho e who
res.de in elevated situations, have few oppor
tunities of meeting with them; while thooe
who are much cmjtloycd in smooth giounds
n a valley, will of on remoik them, rOr this,
1 think a very satisfactory icanon may he giv
m. Ti er sj Ocific gravity must necessarily
;arry them to the lower giour.ds, even sup
osing some of than to have Iren fofmed in
ligher parts; ti ouglt I think it very doubtful
f any aie pro ’uced in such places. I sup.
ose the fact to he, t.iat aggiegation t;d.cs pint o
nore easily nnd tnoie rapidly in an o; encoun
ry, or at the fool of high hills, where the land
s level and well cleared, owing to the inciear
jd quantity off eat that is presumed to lie de
losited there, and the giea!er equality of the
ground. Exjertnco suflir'eiitly shows, tint
an intense degree of heat will prevail in a val
ley, or over a jiltun, w hen the tops of high
ridges are found to be* comparatively r 001.
Os the truth of t wt fact that t! etc mysteri
ous bod es are most y so ired in low mounds*
l Icel thotoughly jer uadtd } ftiras often ns i
iavc ascended the side of the ridge iust n en
tioued, wh;c!i was in almo t numlicrless ir
stances after the sun had disaj peoted, I have
no reco!lJect;o:i that 1 ever cr.rrc in contact
with or:c of them. They are mo3t commonly
felt in a warm evening alter a sulti v day*
about sunset, as Mr. Ji'fterson states, or coon
alter, and invariably when the Wind is fom
the south or south-west. The j ovver of ti e
sun being then withdrawn, and ti e air heir g
somewhat coo’ed, these warm moving bod es
makes more sensible impresss’o.i ujon the
observer wiien he meets with t’ cm, 1 have
sometimes eneouiitc cd several in the course
of an af erroon and early in the evening ; but *
mo e fiequei.tly in a rredow than in any other
place. They appear to me to be infallible
precursors of a thunder-storm, which usually
happens on the succeeding af.ernoon or even
ing-
| From the frequency of these bodes, during
the most oppressive part of tie .summer, (and
I belove they are seldom met with in any oth
er seasou.) 1 am led to believe that if a li c of
men were placed across a piece of low* and
(level groatid, for the extc: t of a quarter or
ihalf a mile, supposing it to have a north and
'south direction, with instructions to notice tie
state of the atmosphere, imagining n rerii’c
current of air f om t c south, t’ cv would find
them ve y nutne ous. It s rottobesuppo cd
