2S6 Lectures. — Patents, 



M. Caselli, an astronomer of Naples, accounts for tli* 

 extraordinary heat of the past summer, which continued so 

 intense throughout the whole month of September, by 

 ascribing it to the extreme puritv of the face of the sun, 

 •which this year was turned towards the earth. For nearly two 

 mouths he observed none of the spots which are commonly 

 perceived iu it. Hence M. Caselii concludes, that the sun's 

 rays, having been emitted in greater abundance and with less 

 uitcrruption, produced that violent degree of heat, which, 

 though it scorched the fields, nevertheless increased their 

 fertility.
