five millions or Dollars Collected.

The Religious Annivsrsaxies-OverT Twenty
five millions OF Dollars Collected.
To-day the religious societies commence their
anniversary sessions, and for week or ten days
to come they will be in full blast. In view of
the interest attaching to these gatherings
amongst the faithful, we have prepared history
of the origin, progress and labors of the several
bodies whose concentrations are about being
held. We have appended to it table, which
may be found Of some use at this advanced
epoch Of their existence namely, statement
of the aggregate contributions which they have
received during the last twenty years.
It was not until the year 1889 that the ami
versaries of these societies were reported BY the
press We commenced that work in the New
YORK HERALD. Owing, however, to the imperfect
mnaner in which the financial portions Of their
proceedings were recorded, we are unable to pub
Gsh as full statement of their revenue as we
could have wished. In the case of many Of the
societies we have no returns for the first few
years of their existence, and in that of others
we have been compelled to fill up intervening
gaps by estimates based on previous and subse.
quent items. Taken altogether, it will be found
that we are considerably within the actual ag-
gregate of their receipts.
In twenty years, then, commencing from the
period we have specified, there have been re.
ceived by the following societies the amounts
set down against them. The statement, it
should be added, does not include host of
minor religious and charitable associations

had been accomplished by other inves,i-
gators in the field of physical inquiry
In this comprehensive department he
was equally eminent as an explorer and
a historian. AS he detected every phe-
nomenon with wonderful sagacity, so he
recorded every discovery with unparal-
leled fidelity. This is not the place to
give an account of his contributions to
science. His positive additions to the
treasures of human knowledge would
fill many volumes. But what will ever
distinguish HUMBOLDT from the mass OF
physical inquirers who had preceded
him, is his study of the universe as a
harmonious whole, and his search for
the laws of order, beauty and majesty
beneath the apparent confusion and con-
tradictions of isolated appearances.

Death of Humboldt,

EE- Baron HUMBOLDT, the most illus.
trious traveller and philosopher of the
age, expired at Berlin, Prussia, on the
9th inst, being within about four months
OF ninety years of age. He had been
gradually failing for some time, and his
demise was not, therefore, unexpected
No man of the century, known only
through the medium of letters, has occu-
pied more attention, or been held in
greater reverence, than HUMBOLDT. He
travelled much, and his contributions to
the Physical Sciences have been many
and valuable. In June, 1899, when
about 80 years old, he made trip to
South America, travelling through the
whole tropical region, exploring the val
legs of the Amazon and Orinoco, climb
ing Mount Chimberazo, to the height of
1890 feet, and exploring the volcanic
regions in the neighborhood of Quito.
He thence passed northward into Mex
leo, pursuing his scientific researches,
and making valuable collections in Natu-
raj History. He then went to Havana,
gathering materials for his :" Political
Essay on Ca6a." Thence he came to
the United States, and was treated with
distinguished attention by President
JEFFERSON. He returned to Europe in
1904. After devoting some time to
chemical researches, he made trip to
Italy, and then returned to Berlin, where
he served the State in a political capacity
for some time. He resided in Paris from
1907 to 1897, engaged in the publca-
ton of his Works. In 1899, he was
commissioned by the Emperor Nicholas
to make an Expedition to the Ural Noun
tains, with view to the examination of
the mineral resources of that REGION
The trip resulted in much information
upon Physical Geography. Since 1912,
HUMBOLDT has resided in Berlin, engaged
in the preparation of his " Cosmos"
which he had not finished at the time of
his death. His faculties continued per-
feet, and he labored more necessarily
than most men at half his age. besides
receiving hundreds of visitors annually,
Of all nations, who were attracted by his
great fame. The New York Tribune
says -" HU MBoLDT was remarkable for
combining the fruits of his own obser-
yations with the exhibition of whatever
