Adventures nf u Scirnllst. Boussingault spent ten years in South America, making use of every opportu nity to Ktudy the grand phenomena in •wldoh that region is so rich, and reaped Be the fruit of his sojourn an abundant harveet of observations in manv depart ments of science. His vfork included numerous mineral analyses; the dis covery of a new mineral, which he named after one of his teachers, Gav- Lussite; analyses of the milk of tiie "cow tree, ' of palm wax, of guano -, and of tiie thermal waters of Venezuela; and the discovery in the province of Antio- quia of a bed of platinum, a metal wliich liad previously been known only as it was disseminated in sands. lie often matle his analyses of minerals on horse back, with the aid of a iiortablu lialance; he carried a Fortin barometer slung over his Bhoulder, with which he estimated the height of mountains. Ilia metliods of investigation were sometimes extraor dinarily ingenious. In taking the tenii*-rature. for in stance, in the crater of Parto, having found his thermometer inadequate, he let down some of the tin foil wrappings of his chocolate cakes. The tin was melted. The temperature was, therefore, higher than the melting point of that metal, or more than 235 dogs. C. lie then let down a pistol hall, which was not melted. The temperature was thus found to be lower than the melting point of lead, or less than 332 clegs. C., and was, therefore, somewhere lietween the two extremes. The guide who accom panied him on this adventure could not conceal his nervousness at hearing the subterranean roarings of the volcano, and, looking into the crater, asked, “What if it should burst out?” “Then we should be lost,” replied Boussingault. The guide unswered, calmed by the cool ness of his suj>erior, “That is what I think,* too." In 1831 he accomplished the ascent of Chimborazo, which llum- Pimples. Sores, Aches and Pains.

It is truly an edifying sight- to *ee tiic-so lads on their first night struggling with their hammocks. The hammocks used in the navy, you bear in mind, are very unlike those in which people swing under the trees in the country. The navy hammocks are made of heavy canvas, and are slung from the beams of the ship. They are usually l ung quite high from the deck, so that it is not easy for a beginner to climb into one with any degree of grace —even tf he manages to get in at all. Usually the novice struggles in from one side and goes head over heels out at the other—mattresses, pillows and lied clothes all accompanying him. After two or three unsuccessful attempts of this sort, however, the greenest begins to improve, and one or two weeks of practice is sutii- cient to make any one an adept in the art.—6t. Nicholas.
