m 'jmjjLmLmuuuLjxu lis aila s:taiatu ASTORIA. OREGON ; I. C. IRELAND Ertltor. SATURDAY June 14, lSr 9. Kordcuskjold. Some people who are not given to keeping up with the times, have been charitable enough to think that The Astoman falsified, with respect to the reports of the circumnavigation of the eastern continent by the daring ex plorer Nordenskjold, "because they have not seen it in any other paper?" If such could be a little more appre ciative, and give us that support which is due to our efforts, we would to-day be able to reproduce the whole facts, maps, and all; showing the route fol lowed by the Yega through the Arctic seas, the precise points at which the expedition wintered, and the route 'taken by the explorer for Europe, We have the maps and the facts in our office, but not the funds necessary to reprint them. The Jeanette will leave San Francisco for Behring straits to-day. By the time she gets through to the Norwegian seas perhaps some of the "other papers" of Oregon will be sufficiently awake to corroborate our statements for the edification of doubt ing ones. Mechanics Institute Fair. The fourteenth exhibition of the San Erancisco Mechanics Institute will open on Tuesday August 5th, and close September Gth, 1879. The suc cess and importance of these exhibi tions is now well-known, the at tendance during the past five years averaging 300,000 for each fair, with a constant increase. It is hoped that our agriculturists, artizans, artists and merchants will avail themselves of this exhibition to place their goods before the public, as no other oppor tunity so advantageous as this can be found, for cheap and efficient adver tising. The great overland excursion of fif teen or twenty thousand persons that is coming from the eastern states to meet Gen. Grant on his arrival in San Erancisco will, no doubt, induce an unusual number of the people of this coast to visit the city at that time; and it is certain that anything placed on exhibition will be seen and ex amined by many more than usual, and make this occasion the time of their visit, as the extra attractions then offered will add much to their pleasure, or profit. No charge of any kind is made to exhibitors for space or a rosonable amount of power. Goods arriving be fore the opening of the exhibition will be stored free of charge. Blank ap plications for space, a copy of the rules and regulations, or any informa tion desired, will be given or sent on application to the secretary, Mr. J. H. Culver, No. 27 Post street, San Francisco. A Powerful "Weapon- The Boston Traveler, in speaking of the death of William Lloyd Garrison, Bays: "More than twenty-live years ago a little boy, not yet in his teens, took his first lesson in the 'art mys tery' of printing from a gentleman in middle life, who explained how the "case" w:is arranged and why, and practically exemplified the process of "setting up" type. "This, my bo7," lie said in a serious tone, yet with a smile, as he placed his hand on the lever of an old fashioned Franklin hand press, "is the most powerful weapon known. In the hands of bad men it is dangerous; in the hands of good men it can work miracles. We hope to abolish slavery with it." That boy was the writer, that man was William Lloyd Garrison." The managers of the land com pany now holding the fraudulent grant of the Oregon Central military road company are making another effort in congress to obtain a valuable gift of land without any compensation whatever. This infamous swindle on the people should never be consum mated without an effort to prevent it, we hope the press of Oregon will as sist in its defeat. We need not again write the history of this fraud. Earthquakes Xaist Year. Tl e earthquakes of the -world in 1S7S amounted to 103, and were most numerous in winter and autumn, only 19 being numbered , m the spring and summer, -wmle tuere "were ou m winter ana zo in autumn. This number, however, states Herr Fuchs, who actually recorded these disturbances, in cludes as units many periods in which shocks occurred at intervals for days and weeks. The most destructive earthquake took place on January 23d, in Terapaca, South America, and another no table disturbance occurred in San Salvador. In Europe, one shock on January 2Sth affected southern England, and part of France. Switzerland, the Black Forest, the Tryol, Lisbon and Piedmont also suffered at different times, while the earthquakes on the shores of the Bosphorus in April and May were felt by the British fleet. The lower Rhine earthquake, beginning on August 29th, affected a region of over 2,000 square miles. There were 12 volcanic eruptions, an un usually high number, and these occurred at places far apart, and mostly proceeded from like-known volcanoes. Dimensions of Heaven. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and breadth, and the height of it are equal. Kev. xxi. 16. Twelve thousand furlongs, 7, 920,000 feet, which being cubed, o95,793,0SS,000,000,000,000 cubic feet. Half qf this we will reserve for the throne of God and the court of heaven, and half the balance for streets, leaving a re mainder of 124,19S,272,000,000, 000,000 cubic feet. Divide this by 4,000, the cubical feet in a room sixteen feet square, and there will be 30,321,842,750,000,000 rooms. We will now suppose the world alwas did and always will contain 990,000,000 inhabitants, and that a generation lasts 39J years, mak ing in all 2.970,000,000 every cen tury, and that the world will stand 100,000yearsorl000centunes,mak ing in all 2,970,000,000,000 inhabi tants. Then suppose there were one hundred wrorlds equal to this in number of inhabitants and du ration of years, making a total of 297,000,000,000,000 persons, and there would be more than one hundred rooms, sixteen feet square, for each person. Gold Coin to Europe. The steamer Algeria from New York for Liverpool June 5th, took 8250,000 in gold coin. This is the largest shipment this year and is unaccountable. Now that bond sales have been practically closed, it is not unlikely that there will be more demand for the gold coin in the United States treasury. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
