including capital stock, at $497, 1859 &c;

2lO 81. 1t will be seen from this state
ment that the capital of the Hamburg

when its managers advertise its assets at

INSTRUMENTS OF ErEOROLOGY
Interesting Facts Concerning our
signal Service.

Many Of our citizens who read the re,
ports Of the Signal Service in the paper:
know very little of the system by which
all these data are gathered or of the in.
struments used. But few ever visit that
most interesting locality, the Office Of
Signal Service Observer Ludwig, in the
Irving block, on Second street, opposite
Court Square. Whatever mistakes the
observers may make, the glasses cannot
err, and the entire meteorological sys-
TEN may be said to have its birth with
the discovery of the barometer by Tori
cell. The instruments used by the
United States Signal Service are as valu-
able to the meteorologist as is the tele.
scope to the astronomer, the microscope
to the naturalist or the compass to the
navigator.
THE THERMOMETER.
The thermometer is too well known 70
need description. The maximum and
minin um thermometers are not as well
understood. The former when in use is
placed in a horizontal position. Inside
the tube is a steel index. AS the tempe
nature rises the mercury pushes the in
dex before it, but as it falls the index is
left, thus registering the highest tempe
nature. In the minimum thermometer
spirit is used and a steel index is in.
serted. As the temperature falls the
spirit drags the index with it, but when
it rises it does not move the index, leav.
ing it at the lowest point to which it has
been dragged. The two indications for
each day are the most important ones in
meteorology. These thermometers can
De set with a magnet, which brings the
index to the surface of the fluid IN the
tube without disturbing the instrument.
To protect the thermometers from the
direct and reflected rays of the sun, and
at the same time to give them the benefit
OF a free circulation of air, they are
hung in a Louvre boarded box thermom.

The Japanese Libern1or.

Gen. Saigo, who will probably repre-
sent the Empire of Japan at the Amer
lean Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia next year. is a celebrity too little
known in this country. He is also an
Oriental iberator and agitator, the Dan
iel O'Connell and the Garibaldi Of his
native land. At the beginning of the
movement for the deposition of the
Miekado, Saigo entered heartily into the
project. de assisted actively till the end,
except while suffering Punishment, in
the war against the Tycoon, and, at its
close, was properly rewarded for his SER
vices. About the year 1851 be was sus-
pected, and, being in danger of arrest
and execution, was obliged to 20 into
exile. Three years afterward he re-
turned, and took up his work where it
had been interrupted. He was instru-
mental In drawing up and publishing the
Japanese Declaration of Independence.
for participation in which he was a sec
ond time banished in 1862. All the
causes of this second exile are not ex-
actly known, but it is supposed that il
was in part owing to the enmity of the
Prince OF Satsuma, who was Saigo's
hereditary chief. The patriot was
brought home in 1866, being then in a
pi.iable condition. He had been CON
fined in a small cage for three years, and
wa for a long time unable to stand up-
right or walk without assistance. He
recovered in time to become a promi-
nent leader in the revolution Of 1867 and
1868. The Tycoon retired in the fo.-
mer year, and from that time Saigo was
a power in the land. He advanced
rapidly in rank, and is now the Field
Marshal of the Empire, besides being
Councillor Of State in the Imperial Cab
met, which is considered the third place
in the Empire. The appointment of
such a mar to represent Japan at the
one'hundredth anniversary of American
independence is peculiarly appropriate.
