ACADEMY OF SCIENcEs.--Snting of Octo6er IS. -Messrs. Bteschet and Becqnerel communicated to the Academy the result of some experiments on the heat of the organic tissues of animals. They had proceeded, with this object in view, to shave the hair off some rabits, and then had covered their bodies with mixture of glue, tallow and rosin. This sub, stance stopped up all the pores of the skin, and caused death in short time. The result of their experiments was, that. in animal whose skin had shown temperature of B degrees of the centgrade scale, or about 100 Fahrenheit, before the mixture was put on, gave heat of 32 degrees shortly after and interval of an hour gave 245 degrees centl- grade, or about 75l Fahrenheit. Another animal gave still swer indications of heat. It had been expected that, from all the pores being stopped up, internal fever would have been produced, and great increase of heat have been displayed. These gentle men also communicated the results of experiments the relative heat of arteral and venous blood, con firming the commonly received opinion as to the superior heat of the former.
