They were all of the marble kind: the one\nwas green, variegated with spots of black, thence called the\nblack ophites; another, called the white ophites, was green\nalso, but variegated with spots of white: the third was called\ntephria, and was of a grey colour, variegated with small black\nspots. The first species was chiefly used in medicine, and\nfound by the ancients only in Egypt; but it is frequent in the\ndefarts of Arabia, in the lfiands of the Archipelago, in Italy,\nand we have whole quarries of it in Wales. The ancients tell\nus, that it was a certain remedy against the poison of the bite\nof serpents ; but it is now justly rejeCIed. Hill's Mat.

V.\nTho’ it is necessary, that some persons in the world should\nbe in love with a splendid servitude, yet certainly they must\nbe much beholding to their own fancy, that they can be\npleased at it; for he that rises up early, and goes to bed\nlate, only to receive addreffes, is really as much abridged in\nhis freedom, as he that waits to present one.

Xoyog and dlp&poc.]\nLogarithms, which are the indexes of the ratio’s of num¬\nbers one to another, were first invented by Napier lord Merchifon, a Scottish baron, and afterwards completed by Mr.\nBriggs, Savilian professor at Oxford. They are a series of\nartificial numbers, contrived for the expedition of calculation,\nand proceeding in an arithmetical proportion, as the numbers\nthey answer to do in a geometrical one : for instance,\nWhere the numbers above, beginning with (0), and arith¬\nmetically proportional, are called logarithms. The addition\nand fubtraftion of logarithms answers to the multiplication and\ndivision of the numbers they correspond with ; and this faves\nan infinite deal of trouble. In like manner will the extrac¬\ntion of roots be performed, by difledling the logarithms of\nany numbers for the square root, and trifeefting them for the\ncube, and fo on. Harris.\nLo'ggat^. n.f.\nLoggdts is the ancient name of a play or game, which is\none of the unlawful games enumerated in the thirty-third statute of Henry VIII.

Bacon.\nIf we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from\nall other creatures by the faculty of laughter.

Shakespeare.\n\nMi'ldernax. n.f. Cannabum nauticum. Ainf.\n\nMi'ldew. n.f. [milbeape, Saxon.]\nMildew is a disease that happens in plants, and is caused\nby a dewy moidure which falls on them, and continuing, for\nwant of the fun’s heat, to draw it up, by its acrimony cor¬\nrodes, gnaws, and spoils, the inmod fubdance of the plant,\nand hinders the circulation of the nutritive sap ; upon which\nthe leaves begin to fade, and the blodoms and fruit are much\nprejudiced : or, mildew is rather a concrete fubdance, which\nexfudes through the pores of the leaves. What the garden¬\ners commonly call mildew is an infeed, which is frequently\nfound in great plenty, preying upon this exsudation. Others\nsay, that mildew is a thick, clammy vapour, exhaled in the\nSpring and Summer from the plants, blodoms, and even the\nearth itself, in close, dill weather, where there is neither fun\nenough to draw it upwards to any considerable height, nor wind\nof force drong enough to disperse it: it condenfes and falls on\nplants, and with its thick, clammy fijbdance dops the pores, and\nby that meansprevents perspiration. Miller thinksthe truecaufe\nof the mildew appearing mod upon plants which are exposed\nto the Lad, is a dry temperature in the air when the wind\nblows from that point, which dops the pores of the plants, and\nprevents their perspiration; whereby the juices of the plants\nare concreted upon the surface of their leaves, which being\nof a sweetidi nature, infeeds are indeed thereto, where find¬\ning proper nutriment they depofite their eggs, and multiply\nfo sad as to cover the whole surfaces of the plants, and, by\ncorroding the veiled, prevent the motion of the sap. It is\nobservable, that whenever a tree has been greatly adecled by\nthis ?nildcw, it seldom recovers it in two or three years, and\nmany times never is intirely clear from it after.

Bacon.\nIn a curious brede of needlework, one colour falls away\nby such just degrees, and another rises fo infenfibly, that we\nsee the variety without being able to distinguish the total vanilhing of the one from the flrft appearance of the other.\nAddison’s Efj. on the Georgicks.\n\nNee'dlesly. adv.

This fait,\nthough it affords, by means of fire, an acid spirit capable of\ndissolving almost every thing, yet manifefts no sign of its\ncontaining any acid at all in its crude state. Nitre is of the\nnumber of those salts which are naturally blended in imper¬\nceptible particles in earths, stones, and other foffile substances, as the particles of metals are in their ores : it is\nsometimes however found pure, in form of an efflorefcence,\neither on its ores or on the surface of old walls ; these efflorefcences dissolved in proper water, {hooting into regular\nand proper cryftals of nitre. That th.is fait should be found\non the surface of walls is not wonderful, since it is found\nonly on or near the surface of the earth where it is produced.\nThe earth from which nitre is made, both in Persia and the\nEast-Indies, is a kind of yellowilh marl found in the bare\ncliffs of the sides of hills exposed to the northern and eastern\nwinds, and never in any other situation. From this marl\nthe fait is separated by water ; but the cryftals into which it\n{hoots, as we receive them from the East-Indies, are small,\nimperfect, and impure. Earths of whatever kind, moiftened\nby the dung and excrement of animals, frequently afford ni¬\ntre in large quantities. The earths at the bottom of pigeonhoufes, and those of stables and cow-houses, all afford nitre,\non being thrown into water and boiled. In France, where\nvery little nitre is imported, they make it from the rubbish\nof old mortar and plaister of buildings; and the mortar of\nold walls with us, if moiftened with urine and exposed to\nthe air in a proper situation that is open to the north east,\nand covered over to defend it from wet, never sails to afford\nnitre in a few weeks, and that in proportion of one tenth of\nthe weight of the ingredients. There is no question but a\nmanufactory of nitre might be established in England to as\nmuch advantage as that of France. The place where the\nmaterials are exposed, is to be carefully examined. It must\nbe moderate as to the great points of moisture and dryness;\nif there be too much moisture the nitre which is already\nformed will be washed away, and without some moisture\nthe salts will hardly be ever formed. Heat and coldness,\nunless excessive, can be of no consequence. It is on account\nof the requifiteness of fo certain a degree of moisture to the\nmaterials from which nitre is obtained, that the north east\nwinds are of fo much use in the production of it. In spring\nand autumn, which are the fealons when this fait is prin¬\ncipally made, these two winds are neither too moist nor too\ndry, especially in the night ; the south and west winds are\ndeftrueftive, because they bring storms and showers. In me¬\ndicine, nitre is cooling and diuretick, and good in burning fe¬\nvers. The riatrum or nitre of the ancients, is a genuine, na¬\ntive, and pure fait, extremely different from our nitre, and from\nall other native salts; being a fixed alkali plainly of the na¬\nture of those made by fire from vegetables, yet beino- ca¬\npable of a regular cryftallization, which those salts are not.\nIt is found on or very near the surface of the earth, in thin\nflat cakes, spungy, light, and friable; and when pure, of\na pale brownifn white colour. It is of an acrid taste, like\npot-ashes. About Smyrna and Ephefus, and through a great\npart of Afia Minor, this fait is extremely frequent on the\nsurface of the earth, and also in Sindy, a province of the\ninner Afia, where they sweep it up and call it soap-earth,\nusing a solution or lye of it in waffling. The natrum or ni¬\ntre of the ancients, has been by some supposed to be a lost\nsubstance, and by others to be the same with our nitre or\nsalt-petre; but both these opinions are erroneous, this fait\nbeing the true natrum of the ancients, answering perfectly\nto its defeription, and having all its uses and virtues. In\nferipture we find that the fait called nitre would ferment with\nvinegar, and had an abfterlive quality, properties which per¬\nfectly agree with this fait but not with salt-petre, as do many\ndifferent qualities aferibed to it by the ancients.

The nutmeg is of a roundish or oval figure,\nof a compact or firm texture, and its surface furrowed : it\nis of an extremely agreeable smell and an aromatick tafie.\nThere are two kinds of nutmeg; the male which is long and\ncylindrical, but it has less of the fine aromatick flavour than\nthe female, which is of the shape of an olive. The Dutch\nimport the nutmegs and mace from the Eafl-Indies, and lupply all Europe with them. The tree which produces them\nis not unlike our pear-tree in its manner of growth: its leaves,\nwhether green or dried, have, when bruised, a very fragrant\nsmell j and the trunk or branches, cut or broken off, yield\na red liquor like blood. This tree is carefully cultivated.\nBut that which produces the male nutmeg grows wild in the\nmountainous parts of the Moluccas. Nutmeg is much used\nin our foods, and is of excellent virtues as a medicine.
