SALINES. Add — This town appears from the en- 

 trance into Salines bay covered with that white fog, fo 

 much dreaded, and fo well known in Italy by the name of 

 mal-aria. Whenever this phenomenon occurs, the heat 

 upon the ifland is cxceffive. Salines, and the towns fituated 

 on the E. and N.E. coafts of the ifland, are fubjeft to fuch 

 dangerous temperature, that in the months of June and 

 July, perfons fall viftims to the afflifting malady called by 

 the French Coup de Soleil (a fun-ftroke), if they venture 

 out at noon without an umbrella. The great heat expe- 

 rienced upon the eaftern coafls of Cyprus is owing to two 

 caufes : to the fituation of the ifland with refpeft to the 

 Syrian, Arabian, and Lybian deferts ; and to its moun- 

 tainous nature, preventing the cooler winds, the weft and 

 north-weft, from the low fhores to the eall and north-eaft.

The peculiar animal matter is foluble in water, infoluble 

 in alcohol, and is precipitated by fubacetate of lead. Hence 

 it appears to be a fpecies of mucus. What Berzelius has 

 termed mucus. Dr. Boftock and Dr. Thomfon appear to 

 confider as coagulated albumen.

 or commanding officer of the regiment to which the indivi- 

 dual belongs. Every candidate, previous to admiffion, muft 

 undergo fuch examination as may be deemed requifite. 



The Undents pay into the funds of the college fuch fum 

 annually as is determined by the fupreme board of com- 

 miflloners. The prefent fubfcription is thirty guineas /itr 

 annum. They are fubjeft to the rules and difcipline of the 

 army, as if ferving with their regirrients.
