Geological Surrey.

One Of the first acts Of our Legislature
should DO to provide for 8 thorough, sci
sntiEc survey OF this State, with the in
tent TO ascertain the extent, quality and
quantity of our mineral resources. We
have heretofore published several articles
from exchanges in relation to this matter.
This survey should not only be made
for the purpose OF inviting capitalists 10
work profitable mines. il there be such,
bat 1t is needed as q protection to the far
mer and small capitalist. Large sums OF
money are annually los, BY investment IN
bogus mines. These losses are mostly
sustained by people of small means.
Men OF experience, are seldom caught
by such schemes. There are some de-
posts of precious metals il New Eng
land. and quite large quantities OF the
baser sort. Unprincipled parties learn OF
some such deposit, secure select speci-
mems, have them snalyzed, give forth 10

accurate geological survey OF the State
were made, people would consul. the re-
port OF these surveyors before investing.
and they would accept the warnings OF
the press, when wildcat schemes we're
pronounced. Thus thousands OF dollars
would be saved to legitimate trade every
year.
If there are large mineral deposits in
Maine, they should be made to yield an
income to the State. While the uuiniIiated
are wasting their funds on bogus con-
Germs, capitalists are wary about invest
ing in Whist, in all probability, would
prove profitable mining enterprises. 1t
they were assured, by scientific men, that
Q profitable deposi, had been made By

il for their own profit, and thus add to our
industries and wealth.

lead. "Old miners" and surveyors sent
by ''disinterested parties from abroad
declare that mines may be probably
worked in these places. Yet capitalists
have not seen ft 10 open them 10 any
considerable extent. Large prices have
been paid for land in these sections. and
one or two stock companies have been
formed. bat thus far little else has been
done. II the State were 10 look this field

The American Museum of Natural
History in Central Park, New York, was
opened by President Hayes, last Saturday
afternoon. The portion of the Institution
which Is completed Is just one twelfth Of the
entire structure as projected. 1t is 1919 feet
long, sixty-six feet wide and FIVE stories
HIGH. aud has cost 100000. The ground
TO be occupied BY the whole Institution,
whenever in the distant future it may be
completed, consists of eighteen and half
acres o. land. The different sections will
be addict as needed, but the whole is not
likely to be finished for half century to
come. Ultimately it promises to be the
largest museum in the world.
The house committee on weights and

soon after the recess, a bill making the
metric system obligatory 10 all government

frame the measures as to secure the early
adoption of the system among private in-
dividuals. Though several of the reports
from Cabinet officers have lately been made
unfavorable to the proposed change, Mr..
Stephens is ardeutly in favor Of it, holding
that the adoption of the metric system BY
all civilized nations is merely question OF
time, and that great advantages will be
derived from its early use by the United
States.
