Afinia0 and Scientific Press of San
Francisco, California, of the oath ult.,
contained a paragraph, underline head
ing of "a Simple Way to Find the
Meridian" by GeorgeW. Blunt, Naut-
zeal Expert Of New York city:
Take a piece of board, or any sim
liar material, and describe on it mum
Der of concentric circles; place this in
the sun; over the center hang a
plummet; observe the shortest shadow
from the plummet; the sun will then
be on the meridian. Draw a line to
the center of the circle, and that will
be the true meridian line.
Mr.. Blunt will edify the readers of the
Eureka SENTINEL by demonstrating
what his plumnet Ia plumb to-tie
center OF matter, the center of motion,
or the center of gravity. Finding the
meridian by c%oncentric circles did not
originate with George w. Blunt, Naut-
jcal Expert of New York. The writer
of this paragraph published 20 years
ago, on this coast. that same idea 81
finding the meridian by c%oncentric
circles, substituting a perpendicular

lieu of a plu .mmet. NAVIGATOR.

The Virginia Enterprise relates the
following sad story: lone Of those
particularly sad circumstances which
seem often to cluster around severe
difficulties occurred in connection with
the death of Bourcier, who was killed
in the Consolidated Virginia shaft.
There was a gentleman in this city who
intended starting for Bourcier's old
home in Canada the very evening of
the occurrence. At the request of
Bourcier this conference.-the. Turcot
by name-was to meet him at 3 O'Clock,
when he anne out OF the mire, to re-
ceive oin messages and tokens of
love for friends and relatives at home.
The gentleman was promptly at the
mine. and was surprised to see the men
c~ongresatel there. On inquiring the
cause he WAS struck dumb when in
formed that the very mar he was to
meet, and from whom the tender mes
sageS OF love were to be borne across
the continent, was even then lying a
shapeles5 mass at the bottom Of the
shaft.
The grasshoppers have again return
ed to Kansas and Nebraska and have
also taken in Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. Stock are dying of starvation,
and the people with a prospect of an
other year OF blasted crops aud blight
ed fortunes are panic-stricken.
The California wool clipthis year will
be unusually large, and it is expected
to reach 5~3,330,000 pounds. At the
present rate of progression, the Jour
nal Of Commerce. estimates that in 1880
the total clip of the State will amount
to no less than 224, 700 ,000 pounds.
