Citizen Celly , in a memoir on die utility of employing analogy in the natural sciences , and on the application of botany to promote the progress of rural ceconomy , endeavours to prove , that the proper : les of bodies being a consequence of their organization , the more rel . tlons there are between beings , the more the uses for which they can be employed are approximated .
Citizen Gilbert shewed the necessity of subjecting all the operations of agriculture to comparative experiments , in order to enable the rural sciences to make that progress of which they are susceptible . He thinks it would be necessary to form rural establishments destined to enquire into the best processes , both for the cultivation cf vegetables and the amelioration of the breeds of domestic animals .
Citizen Tenon presented a memoir , containing a comparison of the methods in which manducation is performed in man , the horse , and the elephant . Citizen Chabert communicated reflections on a disease among horses , known under the name of immobility ( bmncbdiic , ) not yet described , and which has a great affinity with that known among the human species under the name of the catalepsy . An osseous tumor which arose in the ham of a horse , gave occasion to Citizen Huzard to make some reflections on the origin of that
malady , and the means of curing it , when it is treated according to its principle . Citizen Lelievre announced , that he had lately discovered in France sul p hat of strcnthiat in a striated mass . It was found , at jthe depth of 15 or 16 feet , in a ( glaisier ) clay-pit , which has been worked for some years , at Bduvroiv , near Toul . Citizen Dolomieu shelved some of the sulp hat of stronthiat , which
he had brought with him from Sicily , and which , as well as the preceding , had been analysed by Citizen Vauquelin . It is well known that the nitro 7 muriatic acid is the true solvent of gold , and that this metal may be recovered from its solution by sulphuric fether . Citizen Sage shewed a gold precip itate suspended between the aither and the nitre-muriatic acid , under the form of
small threads or flakes , and at the bottom of the flask , in little brilliant masses , on which were observed triangular lamulm , the elements of the crystallization of that metal . Citizen Chaptal read a memoir on a new mode of manufacturing verdco-rise . This new process , practised at Moutpellier for some years past , consists in causing the residue ( marc ) of grapes to ferment , and of putting it in layers between plates of copper , to develope the metallic o . vyd , called verdegrise . This method is superior to the old one , as it is much easier , and attended with less expence , because
it requires no wine . - Some experiments of the same chemist prove also that white lead may be made in the same manner .
