JDr. Buchan has recently published a work with the fol- 

 lowina title : " Bionnniia ; or, Opinions on Life and Health." 

 This slnall work is intended as the praecursor of a Course 

 of Lecture." on the Philosophy of sentient Beings. It 

 abounds with sensible observations on vitality, or the prin- 

 ciples of life, — a subject which the author regrets has been 

 neglected bv the moderns. He adds, the study of inert 

 matter has supplanted that of animal life. Chemistry and 

 mineralogy are almost the sole objects of attention. 



The Russian counsellor Bradsky has obtained a reward 

 from his sovereign for a method of vaccinating sheep. He 

 dissolves the virus in water, and steeps in it a piece of 

 thread, which is afterwards drawn through the extremity 

 of the ear, and left hanging like an ear-ring. At the ex- 

 piration of a few davs, the inoculated sheep has the same 

 symptoms as a child who has been vaccinated. The most 

 favourable time for this operation is the month of September.
