There Was bill introduced by Mr. Kl!y, of

paoiad to oome up again and will probably ra
oeive vigorous support at tba East, fr thar

One of the object of th expedition will be
to prove by a new clae of experiment a onri

arrived at: to the affect that tb inn is not re

it yellow. Tb proof that w bave a bine sua
ia, however, somewhat eoncluaiv at preeent,
and tbi expedition is likely to add to th
strength of the proof. This is not mr)y a
abject of carious inquiry. If oar atmosphere

it follow that an enormou pro portion of th
