two cities, or places of observation. And another observation, made at Paris, 

 may be also useful, for the same purpose, which is, that a little before midnight 

 the same day, viz. exactly llh. Om. l6s. Jupiter's 2d satellite emerged from 

 the shadow of that planet, by which it had been eclipsed. 



The observations of the lunar eclipse, compared for the difference of the two 

 meridians, with that difference thence deduced, are as follow: —

 Jessop. Communicated by Mr. Lister. N° 11 7, p. SQL 



There are four sorts of damps. The first is the ordinary sort. * The signs 

 of its approach are, the candles burning orbiculary; the flames lessening by 

 degrees, till they quite go out; and the shortness of breath. I never heard of any 

 great inconvenience which any one suffered by it, who escaped swooning: but those 

 that swoon aWay, and escape an absolute suffocation, are at their first recovery 

 tormented with violent convulsions, the pain of which, when they begin to 

 recover their senses, causes them to roar out exceedingly. The ordinary remedy 

 is, to dig a hole in the earth, and lay them on their bellies, with their mouths 

 in it; if that fail, they fill them full of good ale; but if that fail, they conclude
