The total immigration at New York for
the year 1880, was 1913, 0S0 This aggregate
is altogether unprecedented in the history of
the board of immigration commissioners,
whose statistics go back as far as lS47. In
1872 the total was $500, which was an in
crease of 50, S23 over the previous year.
Suit has been commenced in the United
States Court, against the Portland Bridge
Company by Messrs. Hatch and Lownsdale.
The grounds for action is that the bridge will
be nuisance and an obstruction to naviga-

Walla Wala Statesman: The land Office
did regular Gland Office business on the
9th inst. there being ninety three entries
made. The government fees alone amounted
to over a thousand dollars. This is the
largest business ever done in this Office in
one day, and the officials were kept busy
from morning until night, there not being
time for them to 90 to their meals. One
hundred and fifteen applications were made,
twenty-five OF which were rejected because
the 'other fellow got there first. The great
rush was made to file upon the property that
reverted back to the government when the
Northern Pacific grant was finally estab-
lished.

Last Friday, thinking that relief
would be needed up the river, Capt.
Gore determined to go through the
locks with The Willamette CHIEF. The
risk was great, as the break of the falls
came to within fifteen feet of the track
of the boat. For about five minutes
Capt. West, manager of the locks,
thought the risk was too great, and
the question was left by Capt Gore to
the officers and men under him. They
assented, and the falls were cleared.
The first need they found for their SER
vices was above Independence, where
three families were found in IA house
loft, very fierce current running on
both sides of the building, and only a
little crazy skiff in which to escape
but in which the ladies refused to risk
their lives. Capt. Gore manned his
small boat and rescued them, the
noble crew carrying them out of the
lower story in water waist deep. He
fed and warmed them, charging them
nothing, and landing them on high
and dry ground at Buena Vista. He
also rescued a band of cattle and a
herd Of sheep, and landed them at the
same place. His men jumped out
into the cold water and lifted the
sheep, l20 head, into the small boats
and skiffs, then waded with the boats
to the steamer. The cattle were
hauled up the side-boards by ropes
hitched around their horns. Coming
back he found the house from which
he had rescued the families, all gone.
Much credit is due Capt Gore and his
hardy crew.

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
PHOTOGRAPH OF A NEBULA.

At the January meeting of the Royal Astro-
nOmcal Society OF England, Mr.. lanyard
showed photograph Of the nebula in Orion,
taken by Dr.. Henry Draper, of this city. Ii had
been obtained with an exposure of fifty one
minutes, and showed the brighter nucleus OF
the nebula, sometimes referred to as the Fish
Head, and the stars in the neighbOrhOOd OF
the nebula down to the 9l2 magnitude. The
photograph had been taken on the 30th of
September last, not at the best time of year, so
that still more satisfactory results might be
hoped for in the future his was the first
instance, said MI. lanyard, in which any
Photographic trace OF the light of a nebua
had been obtained, and it was interesting to
find that the light of the brighter portions OF
the nebua mad registered themselves upon the
sensitive plate, although stars of the tenth
magnitude had not left any trace. The fouI
stars of the trapezum were merged together
by rradatioD. But the photograph which had
been obtained was of very great value, as 1t
showed that the brightest part OF the ncbula did
not correspond with the brightest part as given
in the drawings of BOnd, Herschel, Laponnov,
Lassel Secchi, or the Earl of Rose. These
drawings differ greatly from one another, and
when compared in order of date, there does
not appear to be any reason to suppose that the
differences are due to great and continuous
changes going on IN the nebula. Photographs
would now afford much more Trustworthy
means of determining whether there was any
change in the form and brightness Of the
brighter parts of the nebula. DR.. Draper was
greatly to he congratulated on the accurate mo-
ton Of his driving o'clock, which had been chiefly
instrumental in enabling him to obtain this
photograph OF the uebula.

AN EXPERIMENT ON FUJlYAMA.

Mr.. r. C.. Mcnd"nhall gives, IN, The 4merioo"
journal Of Science, the result OF an interest
ing attempt to determine the force of gravity
on the summit of Fnjyama, Japan; This Is
an extinct volcano, whose height Is known to
be about 2.3j miles. 1t Is noted for lis almost
perfect conc-shaped form, and for the fact
that it rises solitary and alone out Of plain
of considerable extent. 1t is part Of Japanese
tradition that the mountain was produced In
a single night in the year Is. &. 2S6. Many
biologists are of opinion that it is mainly the
result of single eruption. The tunes OF the
vibration of pendulum were carefully noted
and corrected both ut Toxic and on Fuji-
yama, and the force of gravity dcduced there
from, the former. giving 9,7So4 and the latter
9.7SSG. Assuming the mountain to he u
cone. whose scmi-yertcal angle is 60 and
density PIP. the density of the earth was
found to be 5.77-a result greater than that
generally accepted. Taking the cartl's density
at 5.G7 as determined by Baily, and COM
binins it with his pendulum experiments, Mr..
Mendcnhall found the density of FujIyama TO
be POS. This seems TO indicate that the
mountain is deficient in attraction, aud may
be of value to biologists rs throwing light on
the structure OF volcanoes

LUMINOUS MARINE SIGNALS.

new mode of teleGraphing 10y sight has been
invented by NJ. Mclcadier which is said to III.
crease greatly the amount of light now used
for intermittent luminous signals III ships,
lighthouses, etc. The common method is that
of bringing a movable diaphragm before a
steady source of light. Thus the light is not
utilized during eclipse, and it has been cstl.
mated that in ordinary systems 90 per cent or
the light is lost Gin lighthouses sometimes 30
per ccnD. NJ. hereafter has lately proposed
new plan, the essence OF which lies in vary
ing the source of light, making IT flash up to
It's mailman ut one moment, and reducing or
eXtinguishng it at another. This can I've done
either by promptly varying supply OF oxygen
to low flame or 10y varying the supply OF COM
busible gas. NJ. hereafter describes an ar
rangrment of the former kind, in which he
uses II simple petroleum lamp. This has a
round wick (Which does not pass beyond the
continuing cynder), and in the centre Uses "a
thin vertical Tube, drhouching little below the
plane Of the wick. This tube admits the oxygen
coming from Il reservoir The mode ot admlS-
sion is by pressure with the finger on key,
like that of II Morse apparatus; this has tie
effect OF momcntarly releasing an india rub
Der tube 10y which the oxygen is c0nycyed)
from the pressure of a clip. The flame then
nightcns. On taking the fiGgcr oil, the supply
OF oxygen is stopped again, aud the fame Is
reduced to very small size. This system Is
said 10 give good results.

BOUNDARY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND
AMERICA

One of the most important results of the
trip of the schooner Yukon to the coast OF
Alaska last autumn, under charge OF com
mander ". ii. Dali, was the determination of
the boundary line between Russia and the
United States. According to the treaty, this
boundary line should pass between the two
Diomede Islands without touching either.
Commander Dali made landing on Big Do
mede Island, aud had Il short but satisfactory
set of observations, which showed that tho
boundary line, as defined i'll the treaty, does
actually pass between the two islands. These
islands are granite domcs rising in the centre
dicular from the action OF the sea, aud with
out beaches. A few gulies in the granite
bluffs give access to broken tablcland on
the top. There ~ Il native village OH each
island. The Diomcdcs are frequcncd by mil
lions of birds, and seal and walrus are also
caDturcd by the natives.

WHAT AN EARTHQUAKE DID.

A curious result seems to lave followed re-
cent earthquake at Bucharest The soil OF Bu-
Charcst is a rich, black, porous vegetable moulh'
very springy under pressure, and carriages
passing in Il street cause Il strong vibration Ill
the ada, ell. houses. 1 he Grand Hotel Bone
ward, however, was an exception to this gen
cral rule and in the rooms facing the principal
street, on which there is a heavy traffic, no SEN
sibe effect was felt from passing vehicles:
Durngthe recent earthquake the windows and
crockery IN less maSSiycly constructed build
ings ratified very sensiDly, whereas there was no
audible sound in the hotel. Since the earth
quake shock, however, this state OF things has
changed entirely, and every vehicle passing the
hotel causes vibration i'll the whole building.
The singular part OF this change Is that the
effect pI jduccd 10y the vehicle is the same a.
that accompanying the earthquake. 1t IL not a
jar lie previously produced in other buildings,
but saving motion similar to that felt in the
late shock. I his movement is 40 great as to
cause pictures to sway backward and forward
on the walls. The hotel is one Of brick,
covered outside with mastic, which would show
at once any crack in the walls. HJwcvcr
there is not a crack in it. Hence, ii is Thought
this change in the sodity of the structure
appcars to be due to some effect produced III the
earth underneath the building by the shock oil
caIthduake.
