fticks are often found frozen quite hard, wheir-in the 
fame garden the tender growing twigs are not at all af- 
fected. And many herbaceous vegetables, of no great 
fize, refift every winter degrees of cold which are found 
fufficient to freeze large bodies of water. It may be 
proper to add, that after each of the above mentioned 
experi aents of bearing high degrees of heat, we went 
out iniii vediateiy into the open air, without any precau- 
tion, and experienced from it no bad eiFe6t. The lan- 
guor and ihaldng of our hands foon went off, and we 
have not fiace fuilered the leail inconvenience.
