Astoria, Or., Oct. 6, 1894.
BAM'L ELMORE,
Proprietor,
The wife of LI Hung Chang Is about
fifty-five years of age and cornea of a
distinguished Manohurlan family. The
following story Is told to explain her
kindness o foreign physicians: Some
years ago she was taken very sick
with a complication of diseases, and
after being treated several months by
' the leading physicians of the capital,
was given up by them to die. In these
straits she and the viceroy called In a
male and female physician belonging to
the American board of foreign mis
sions, who were so skillful and also so
fortunate as to preserve her life, and
in the course of a year to restore her
former health and strength.. This In
cident Increased the affection of both
herself and Li Hung Chans' for for
eign missions, foreign physicians, and
foreigners In general. LI Hung Chang
commemorated his gratitude by fitting
up a general dispensary in Tien Tain,
which he presented to the mission,
while Lady Li, not to be outdone in
her appreciation of the skill that she
had enjoyed, established a Bccoud, etiJO
dally for women ,and placed it entirely
in charge of the American lady physi
cian Who had attended her. Both be
fore and after her sickness she has
granted audiences to scores of Euro,
pean and American ladles, a privilege
that is not accorded by more than
one In a thousand Chinese ladles be
longing to the nobility.
Prof. Holnnloh Geffcken, writing In
the "Nineteenth Century," says thut
Germany has a war treasure of 130,000,
000 in coined gold lying in the Julius
Towed of Spanduu, a much larger sum
than Caesar deposited and Mark An
tony extricated from the temple of Ops;
and thut the other great powers, Eng
land, France, R iteia, and perhaps Aus
tria, have each a like fund, more or
less ready for Instant use in the emer
gency of war. If we credit these pow
ers with the same reserve as that pos
sessed by Prussia, It withdraws from
the commerce and currency of the
world, $150,000,000 in gold, which Is af
ter all only about 40 cents per capita
for all the population of Europe, and
Is not so ruinous as at a first glance
it might appear to be. Taken altogeth
cr, It la only an Inconsiderable fraction
of the cost of our Civil War, or the In
demntty paid by France to Prussia af
ter the campaign of Sedan and the
downfall of the empire. It is a good
deal of money, to be sure, to be kept in
Idleness, drawing no Interest, and niak
ing no figure in bank ballances, but
is sure to get Into circulation again
some time, and warm up the arterial
flow of the world's commerce, a It
ought to do, Instead of lying idle in the
arypts of fortresses.
The young Czar has, as a matter of
fours, to soy at the funeral of his
father that he will walk In his foot
steps; but he will do well to get away
from their line at an1 angle not so
acute as to be imperceptible. He will
give millions good hope by accepting
some of the conditions of civilization.
If he is a young man of good sense and
capacity to know something of current
liUtory, he can read in the Asiatic
news of the day of the weakness of
despot lm and a sovereign excluded
from association and sympathy with
the people.

An Answer to Captain Merry's Letter
on CoastwlBe Navigation.
In a recent issue of the San Francisco'

very Interesting letter relating to
coastwise navigation. It was re-printed
i it ctr.i-. i... f tha a .trv. 1
m ,, j . 'In the City of Astoria, as laid out and
rian. The following Is an answer to recorded by John McClure and ex
the lc?tter from the pen of Captain D.: tended by Cyrus Olney, by removing
Buchanan, and Is copied from the same
nnhiinniinn- I

few facts Cautain Merry's letter In vonr!?our Inches In thickness, and by build-
. - , , ,
- '
issue oi iNovemoer ma on me naviga-
tion of coastwise steamships. I quite
igree with Captain Merry that the
patent log Is a valuable aid to naviga
tion, where the shipmaster carefully
registers the percentage It goes (slow
or fast), by well authenticated observa
tions. The use of the log Is alBO lnval-
uable when approaching, the land In
x dark night or in thick weather, but;8""18 nre designated as follows, to-wit:
one or two casts of the lead are com-
paratlvely useless. It requires a series:
of soundings, taken at stated Intervals, I
here the speed of the ship Is known, I
i..u tun. lmmi B.iuuiu uo recorueo on a
aardboard, whereby a continuous lino
of soundings is formed. This placed on
the chart at or near the ship's sup-
posed position will either verify the
shin's oooltlon on tli nnr BtoaroH
nr it win ah, o..i..0ii k
position at the first and lunt soundings,
md the distance run in the Interval.
Oaptnln Merry says that a "steamship
running on a parallel course with an
idjacent coast line will ultimately run
on shore." This Is evidently a. stretch
of the Imagination, as gravity is a force
that draws toward the center and not
towards the shore; if due allowance in
the course steered is not made for an
Inshore current or a heavy swell sweep.
ng towards the land, it is evident the
ihlp will ultimately be stranded. Now,
as to the local magnetlo disturbance
of the compass on board ships when
near the land the reports which have
been current for many years pasts of
the disturbance of the compass on
board ships when near land, have gen
erally been regarded, until of quite re-
ent 'years, as very doubtful, If not
void of foundation. It has rightly been
objected that allowing the neighboring
land to to entirely composed of mag
netlo ore, the distance at which the
supposed disturbance of the compass
took place was quite enough to render
Its attraction or repulsion without ef
fect. There are some parts of the
world where the bottom of the oceanJoV
is sufficiently magnetic and close
nouR'h to effect the compasses. The
narlner hn.i, therefore," reason for tn
creastJ vigilance when nearlng the
land of certain countries during thick
venthfr. Iitttead of attributing the
!oe of vessels when approaching a
-oast to the nmgnetio effects of fog and
!nnd snd other Improbable Influences
upon the compass, it would be much
more reasonable to ascribe It to the
changed conditions of her magnetism
by Induction during the paspage, and
which has not been discovered or kept
account of by frequent Azimuths pre
vious to closing in with the land. A
course la shaped which the captain
thinks perfectly safe; to his astonish
ment It lands his vessel on some rock
or shoal and the fault Is laid on the
compasses, whereas they have only
obeyed the magnetic Torces which have
changed the compasses during the
long voyage. The longer a ship steers
on a given course or lies in the same
general direction, the greater will be
the magnetlo charge of Induced mag
netism, and the more slowly will it
move and shift with the changing
courses of the vessel. The other mag-1
netla qualities of a ship are compara
tively stable, but th Induces magnet-
Ism Is treacherous and changeable, and i
requires constant vigilance to prevent i
disaster. The he-llng error I, another
