At a regular meeting of the Portland Board of Trade last Monday night says'the Oregonian. The committee to whom was referred the matter of establish ing a telegraph line from Astoria to the coast made a verbal report, asking further time. Mr. Dodd, chairman, said that every pilot, every steamship commander and ever master of sailing vessels to whom they had applied for infor mation, favored Cape Hancock, above Tillamook rock. The ob ject of the signal service in estab lishing a station was, primarily, to secure more complete weather re ports, and these could be better obtained from Tillamook rock than from the cape. Lieut. Kil bourne, 'he said, would return in a few weeks, and they would want a conference with him, after which they would be ready to report at a special meeting. The expressed sense of the board was decidedly in favor of Cape Hancock, but inas much as they had a year ago, upon the suggestion of Capt. Lachlan, recommended Tillamook rock to the department without having thought of or mentioned Cape Hancock, they feared that a re commendation now in favor of the latter might result in neither one being established. To us it seems better for many reasons that the line should run from Astoria to Tillamook Rock via Point Adams. It was the original intent; any change of the programme now would delay the appropriation. The intent of the service would be better served by having the station at Tillamook, out on the extreme coast, where the force and direction of the wind, etc., could be accurately de termined than at the comparatively sheltered point of Cape Hancock. To build to Cape Hancock would involve at least the laying of four miles of cable: to Tillamook but a mile and a half. At Tillamook the station could be approached nearer than at the cape. Whatever advan tages might be derived by pilots ocean steamers, etc., from having the station at the cape would be no more than could be derived by having a sub-station at Point Adams. To vessels coming up, (and in general vessels are more apt to be below the bar than above it) the Tillamook station would be of far more benefit -than the Cape Hancock one. Of course it would be most desirable to have two, one at each; but at present only one can be expected, and to insure the maximum amount of benefit from the station it should in our judg ment be at Tillamook. garded not as the cause but as the consequence of volcanic activity. Neither does this action alwavs take place at the 'summits' of vol canic mountains, when such exist, for eruptions occur quite frequent ly on their sides or at their base. ! That, too, which popular fancy re gards as 'smoke,' is really condens ing steam or vapor, and the sup posed raging flames." After exploding popular theo ries coucenng earthquakes, the author describes, in the order of their importance, all the most no table volcanoes of the world. The more famous ones are illustrated with drawings and engravings; the ! latter, in many instances, are made from photographs .taken on the spot. Lava streams, mountain configurations, and even dissected volcanic mountains are figured. The first to come under notice is Vesuvius, with an allusion to the fact that Pliny lost his life in an attempt to approach this mountain during an eruption; and that not long ago a band of Neapolitan The colossal statuo of Libert- 1 the gift of the French Republic to ( the United Slates, is now ready, and ns soon as the country rie $200,000 to build a pedestal for it on 3fdoi-'h island, at the entranco S to Now York Iiarixr. tfti' statue will be ssfnt oit as a irift fiotn France to America.

Tuk Bulletin furnishes the fol lowinpr review of au 'interesting1 book recently published, entitled "Volcanoes; what they are, and what they teach." The careful reading of the book will serve to dispel some popular errors touch ing the phenomena of volcanoes. The author begins by citing ans wers usual ty given in school-books to the question "What is a vol cano?' "A volcano is a burning mountain, from the summit of which issues smoke and flames." This entire statement must be set aside: "The description which we . have quoted js not merely incom plete and inadequate as a whole, but each individual proposition of which it is made up is grossly in accurate, and, what is worse, per versely misleading. In the first place, the action which takes place at volcanops is not 'burning' nor combustion, and bears, indeed, no relation whatever to that well known process. Nor are volcanoes necessarily 'mountains' at all; es sentially, they are just the reverse namely, holes in the earth's cruht, or outer portion, by means of which a communication is kept up between the surface and the interior of the globe. The author further affirms that when moun tains do exist at centers of volcanic activity, they are simply the heaps of materials thrown out of their holes, ftnd muut therefore be re- PitbLiilHXABY-a 5 V'iMr Vfp 3F 1 ' siittriwniirjiuftrt: TIME ENOUGH !

A vol cano, it is maintained, is a sort of natural steam engine on a great scale, and the best method of ex amining it is while it is compara tively quiet. Stromboli in the Mediterranean, has been in a con dition of regular activity for 2,000 years or more. But this activity is so moderate that the best oppor tunity has here been afforded for studying the "plrysiology of" vol canoes." The author points out the fact that although scientists are able to assign the cause for volcanoes, they have not so far mastered the laws which govern volcanic action, as to be able to predict the periods of their manifestations. There can be no doubt that these operations are governed by some great natu ral laws which have not been fully discovered. The following sum mary is in peint: Concerning the eruptions that have taken place at those volcanic centers which have been known from a remote antiquity, we have rec ords from which we oan determine the intervals separating their out bursts and their relative violence. iv critical examination ot tnoso record leads to the following con cen con cluseons: 1. A long period of quiescence is generally followed by an erup tion which is either of long dura tion or great violence. 2. A long-continued or iolent eruption is usually followed by a prolonged period of repose. 3. Feeble and short eruptions usually succeed one another at brief intervals. 4. As a general rule, the vio lence of a great eruption is in versely proportionate to its dura tion. The author notes that the num ber of volcanic vents now believed to be in active condition, is be tween 300 and 350, but the num ber which are now for the most part dormant exceeds 1,000. The smaller temporary openings of a subordinate character, which have at some time been active as vents, number tens of thousands. The feebler manifestations of volcanic forces such as are exhibited in 'stufas' or steam jets, geysers or intermittent hot springs, thermal and mineral waters, fumaroles emitting various gases, salses or spouting saline, and muddy springs and mud volcanoes may be reckoned by thousands." In Africa ten active volcanoes are known to exist. In Asia twenty four active volcanoes are known. There are twenty in North Ameri ca, and thirty-seven in South America. There are six volcanoes in the islands of the Mediterra nean, and one oh the main land. Europe, therefore, has the small est number, but their historical importance makes up for lack of numbers. Nearly all the great volcanoes are either upon islands or very near to the coast. Thus, there are six upon "the peninsula of Kamtschatka. But none are known to exist on the Australian Continent.
