[The consumption of cocoa, as an article of food, hasgreatly increased within the last few years. The WestIndian kinds generally contain a larger proportion of thepeculiar fatty matter (oil or butter of cocoa) than thatwhich comes from New Grenada , and consequently arenot so much valued. It forms a very digestible nutri-tious aliment, containing a peculiar azotized compound,Theobromine, analogous to that contained in tea and coffee.W.] __

[The total quantities of tobacco retained for home con-sumption, in 1842, amounted to nearly seventeen millionpounds. Professor Schleiden gives a singular illustrationof the quantity of tobacco consumed. North America alone produces annually upwards of two hundred millionpounds of tobacco. The combustion of this mass ofvegetable material would yield about 340 million poundsof carbonic acid gas, so that the yearly produce of carbonicacid gas from tobacco-smoking alone cannot be estimatedatlessthan 1,000 million pounds—a large contributionto the annual demand for this gas, made upon the atmo-sphere by the vegetation of the world.—R. E.]
