f 1 l,e re ceinly published iingU',, accoun ts 
w new d ,8t Jveries in the north, abound in facts 
more or less applicable as proofs. 
A remarkable tact, which was but lately ao- 
piied as a proof the theory, is, that the relative j 
diherence in the climates, on any given meridian 
traced throughout the two Americas, from one 
known extreme to the opposite, accords with the 
new system. For, such meridian, (for example, 
the meridian ot Boston,) crossing over the 
south verge at about 40 or 43° of south lat. and 
over the north verge at about 57 or GO 0 of north 
latt as laid down in the new system, affords the 
following phenomena, viz: counting from the. 
equator either way, the first 40 or 43° appear to 
be most temperate to the south, and the uext 15 
or 20 degrees to be least cold or unproductive to 
the north, and beyond the 60th degree, on either 
hand, as iar as known, on the meridian in ques¬ 
tion, it appears to be again least cold or icy to the 
south. 
And it also appears, that ranges of equal cli¬ 
mates decline, counting from Europe across 
Asia, nearly east by south, and from Europe 
across America, nearly west by southjj ; this af¬ 
fords an inference that the verge is, as marked in 
fine new system, every where nearly equally dis 
tant from such natural parallels of climate, espe¬ 
cially, as the magnetic equator appears to be 
every where parallel to the climates in question. 
These severally described climates, it must be ad¬ 
mitted, corroborate the new theory.

* Van Diemen’s land, being-, according' to the new sys¬ 
tem, on tne concave surface of the sphere, and New 
Holland on the convex, tile rays from the latter are con¬ 
sequently most bent, when seen from the reverse or op¬ 
posite'side of the sphere, hence make that cloud ap¬ 
parently farther from the former than the relative dis¬ 
tance on tile map would seem to indicate it to be. We 
only see these magellauic clouds at night, when the sun 
is sliming- on the islands in question ; an 1 from hence is 
their idative light deducible. Their color is that of 
distant hazy mountains, on which the sun is shining. 
In one sea they appear to the right of due South and 
in another to the left; but, they are perpetually fixed, 
at a given height, and on a given course, at any, and 
every place where they are visible* and the stars, and j
