Langton, Esq., Provincial Auditor, on h l}eccnt Rescarches into the Physical â€"Constiâ€" tution of the Sun." . The lecturer, described the various solar phenomena, and,particularly, the spots on the sun, mentioning the most geherally received theory ‘in regard to their nature or cause, and after explaining the transâ€" mi@sion of light and heat, and the part played by the gasgepys envelopesâ€"supposed to enclose, as it were, the sun‘s more solid body, he went on to notice the subject of the total amount of heat which leaves the sunm. This could be represented by its mechanical equivalent. Where then were we to look for the mechaniâ€" c.i force which would gencrate, ‘or, rather be co?\ve'rtcd into, this immerse amount of heat? Hu{ro we left the ground. of strict experiment ang calculation and plunged into the region of theory. The lecturer‘s eloquent conclusion, as‘follows, is all we have space for:â€" .® h and their velocity have ‘been frequently meéasured by observations of the same metcor from different stations, and from the immense velocity, greater than anything which can be produced on the éarth, we conclude them to be masses of matter ‘distdfixwd through space, and following the same laws as regulate the motions of the earth ln:‘ir&lmeta ; and that being encountered by the earth, the resistence of:our atmosphere produces: intense ‘ignition by which many of them at least m,{:ulpteed in vapour. The mechanical forcé at uch vely ocities would certainly suffice to produce the effect. We observe also that their direction alâ€" ways depends upon that of the earth‘s motion at the time, and that they recur with great regularity at certain different periods, as if at one particular part of our annual course through space, we passed through a region where they are unusually abundant. There is also & peculiar light, noticed under favorable circumstances called the zodiacal light which surrounds the sun, and certainly reaches beâ€" yond the orbit of Venus which is generally supposed to be caused by a belt of cosmical matter of this kind circulating round the sun, We know also that the orbits of comets near the sun become less at each~ revolution, the infallible consequence of which is that all such bodies must ultimately fall into the sun. From all these circumstances we believe it to be highly probable that metcoric masses are continually falling into the sun ‘in: much greater numbers than we observe here on earth. _ We do not know that it is so, but if it is, we again get within the limits bf strict calculation, and we may state within cer. tain limits what quantity of‘matter so falling would generate the amount of heat which the sun daily emits, for we know the maximum and the minimum velocity with which they would strike according to the circumstances under which they could reach his surface. The heat produced by the mere impact can be thud shewn to be immensely greater than any combustion such as we are acquainted with, and would produce from about 4,000 to 9,000 times what would arise from the burning of an equal mass of coal. ‘The intensity of the heat of the sun which forms one of its most marked characteristics would thus be accountâ€" ed for, while the amount of falling matter nc cessary to produce the necessary effects, imâ€" mense as it is wheu‘expressed by any human measures, is as nothing when compared ‘with the bulk of the sun, not being much more in depth on his surface than usually falls on to the earth as rain. % . A little before noon, on the 1st September ‘ 1859, two different observers, Mr. Carrington and Mr. Hodgin, happened to be observing. the sun, when something occurred to his surâ€" face.‘ Both describe the appearance in almost the same way. A bright spot according to one, or according to the other, two spots of brilliant light suddenly broke out, and during the five minutes for which the lgpeonnce lasted© moved over a l{:ce which is csti« mated at 35,000 miles, when they faded and left the surface of the sun as it had been beâ€" fore the occurrence, It wasfafterwards found that at the precise moment when the observaâ€" tions were made, the im‘?unenu in the magâ€" netic observatory, at Kew indicated a sudden disturbance of :r the magnetic elements, and one of those magnetic ltgnnl commenced, which are known from timé to time to affect the needle almost at theâ€"same momentall over the world. Here at any, rate was a real ocâ€" currence, attested by two independent obserâ€" ;:cu, and by ):lnt mootuctmstwortby regorderfl the photogra t which . marl ,the:'aovemgnu of ufe no&ge in observatories. Fhe effects were also what we should expect from the fall of a body into the sunâ€"the sudt den development of great light, and therefore probably of beat also, and the rapid .motion of something over or through the photosphere ‘The velocity, however, was not quite half as rapid as the minimum velocity with which any planetary body geould reach the sun; and why less rapid ? Because its motion had been at least partially arregted, and what was lost in motion was given out in heat and light. . T.ve know that massee of matter often fall to the earth which, when immediately found, exhibit great heat and show marks, of fuâ€" sign: We know also that hardly a clear night without our secing numerous metcors moving with great velocity, and exhibiting brilliant light, and at. particular seasons they aré keen in immense numbers. In November 1833 there was a magnificent display seen on this continent when as many as 240,000 were estimated to have been observed. during nine hours. The height of these meteors above the These are bold speculations, but they are based on known facts, well attested by exâ€" periments, and the conclusions are drawn from these‘facts by trustworthy modes. of calculaâ€" tion,. If there be such a fall of meteors into the sun, the heat and light which we experiâ€" ence would certhinly follow, and ‘we should have an exemplification of the indestructibilâ€" ity of force upon the grandest scaleâ€"the sun by the attraction of gravitation causing all bodics to move towards him, and that motion when arrested, being converted into heat and light and omnwng from him to the remotest regions of space. (The point which is wanting to comrlete the proof is the certainty that cosmical matter does really fall upon him, and not very long ago there was a remarkable (l;-currcnco tending to render this very probaâ€" e. the sun, which have engaged the attention of scientific men during the last few years. They lead us to look upon the sun, not only as the centre of our system, whos¢ attraction ~ lates the motions of all the ~planets, ’bflm as ultimate source of almost every motion, and every change which takes place on the earth. â€" The wmr;ofthe ocetnmov:g:nted by its rays, and falling again in the shape of rain are the source from whence are derived all our springs and riversgand the mechanical power which we derive from them, Its hut{ varying in every latitude gives rise to al winds, by which the vapors which it has raised are distributed over the earth, and which carry our merchandize from ome region to another. The great geological changes ‘which our earth has ‘experienced are mainly due ‘to the slow degradation of the solid surface from _ the effects of alternste heat and frost, and from the rain which continually catries down the debris to the bed of the ocean. The tramsfer of these debris by oceanic curâ€" rents, themselves mainly due to the sun‘s : inâ€" fluence, and the consequent variation of the pressure over large space is the probable cause of the irregular action of the vgletnlc fires in the interior portions of our globe. Electrical, These are the most important speculations wilh reigect to the physice congubdtion .of etic, and chemical phenomena are largely infiuenced by the same agency. All animal and vegetable products depend upon the heat and light of the sun for. Zcir development, and it is hardly too much, say that the gas lights which‘ illmgine ‘ou? room toâ€"night are only: the r:rnfltrx-ction of those rays which thousands of yéars ago enabled the primeval forests of the carboniferous era to extract the cérbon from the atmosphere, which has been stored up for ages, to be dug out for our use.

Infotmation was immediately sent to me at Ottawa, upon receiving which, I immediately repaired ty the scene of operations, and found matters to be as above stated. * It being the opinion of the workmen, as well IP myself that a large " pocket," as it is called in oil parlance, had been struck, I ordered, from Montreal tubing, pump;, sucker rods, etc. Upon the arrival of which pumpâ€" in? will commence, and the true valye of the vein ascertained. The indications of a " pocket" being struck in this well are fully as good as any found in Pennsylvania before pumping is commenced, or a test made. £ the hinery ; the work will hercafter, howâ€" o y2% Wp pushon Sighfand day. ... .‘ All with whom I have conversed who are u-qnuixited with the oil regions Pennsylvania or Enniskillen have agreed with me that they never have seen superior surface indicatidns.
