Influence Of the Noon on Iimber.--A very in


tclligent gentleman, named Edmonstone, who was


nearly 80 years engaged in cutting timber in
Demerara, and who made number Of observations
on trees during that period, says that the moons
influence on trees is very great So observable is
this, that if a tree be cut down at full moon, it
will Immediately split if torn asunder by the
influence of great external force. They are
likewise attacked much earlier by rot than if al
lowed to remain to another period of the moons
age. Trees, therefore, which are intended TO be
applied to durable purposes, are cut only during
the first and last quarters of the moon; for the sap
rises to the top of the tree at full moon and falls
in proportion to the moons decrease.
