Abstract
Revue des Cours Scientifiques, February 19.—This number contains a list of subscribers to the Sars Fund; also a lecture delivered at the Sorbonne by M. A. Cazin, on “Motive Power,” in which are described the laws obtaining in regard to those natural forces which are already made available as sources of motive-power and the application of some other forces which may probably be turned to account in the same way as science progresses; for instance, the application by M. Mouchot and Ericsson of solar heat for working a steam engine is especially mentioned as worthy of consideration; and the application of the force of tides suggested by M. Tommasi.
