For the •* Ocean Wave." THE BEAED QUESTION.

Mb. Eihtob :—Your correspondent -seems inadvertantly to have fallen into some errors upon the matter of our late ^article; but with yonr indulgence, we

will bri>fly\orrect them.

We distinctly stated "there are hot two questions of tUMlt/ concctcd whh the growth of the beard :—that of appearance and benefit” With regard to the first.we did not enter into a very elaborate scientiflc argument to prove Aatallmen would not look better with long beards; but simply drew logical conclusions from natural premises; siraq •|»ty arraigned before common judg. tnent tb6 diversify of human character and mind, and therefrom deducing the fact that all natural external appliances cannot be resorted to by every individual with the same ornamental cHect.UaUsince this part of the text did not receive a complimentary notice, we re-

' fer\o the question of Itnejit.

The points here made prominent were, that hair is a conductor of electricity; that persons of a delicately organized nervous system should not carry the means aboat thorn of exciting this system ns long Geard surely does. And notwithKta»dM£ we gave this fact as personally tested l)y Dr. Chapman, and recorded •n bis "Principia,” wkh that other ii IHalltfi Journal of Ilealtli^Bithc remar dcable coincidence bctw^i a delicate merrous temperament and a light growth ■ of hair, we are charged with wilful and (malignant ignorance. We conld excuse fthis charge against ourselves, but to ^discard the learning of Chapman, on snch questions as these, is. to say the least impolitic. Rut we will not. dis-

join it thus summarily.

Yonr correspondent stoics that "elcc--tricity is produced by the friction of all 'bodies,” but he forgot to mention that .electricity is not so produced.— While friction is the most extensive beecansc the most practical means of excitfcis fluid, yet we often find it the a change of si-ate, of chemical

and decompositions of the

separatioA aP&j**** of surfaces &c., But the question, > 6qw it is produced, 4s not germon to the rfc^issue, since .earth, yr and water and theftvthousand phenomena might be the generative agency of this fluid; but will hair condoctit? Your correuKmdcnt has answered emphatically id the negative.—

,Let ns see how truly.

Wool and hair hare been classed by •your correspondent as oon-eondoctors, -^fhen perfectly dry. Prof. Olmstead, in .the college edition of his Philosophy, states, that wool ess be charged with potifjra electricity when brought in frictional contact wkh paper, silk or rough glass.
