Hitherto the Hospice OF the Great st. Ber-
nard, which stands $500 feet above the
level of the sea, has enjoyed the distinction
of being the most elevated inhabited build
ing in Europe. This honor it can now no
longer claim. During the past year
the city authorities of Catanla, in Sicily,
have caused to be erected near
the summit of the great volcano,
Mount Etna, an astronomical observa-
tory which stands 2,943 meters above the
sea level, or fully 1000 feet higher than the
HoSpice of st. Bernard The structure is
nine meters in height, and covers an area of
200 square meters. 1t consists of an upper
and lower story, and is built in a circular
form. In the lower story there rises a mas
sve pillar, upon which is placed the great
refracting telescope. The lower story is di-
vided into a dining room, kitchen and store
rooms. In the upper story there are
three bedrooms. intended for the &C
com mediation of astronomers and
tourists visiting the establishment.
The roof consists of movable cupOla or
dome. From the balconies of the upper
story prospect of vast extent and grandeur
is presented. The spectator is able to see
over half the Island of Sicily, the Island of
Malta, the Lipari Isles and the Province of
Calabria, on the mainland of Italy. The OBJ
servatory is erected upon a small cone,
which will in the case of an eruption, pro-

comparatively small cost to place in the

can never be populaIized. 1t occurs
to us that the Legislature should provide the
means for a compendium of the report for
general distribution; and unless it is done
the labors of the Department OF Statistics
will be to a very large extent rendered
nugatory. 1t was our purpose in this article
to have presented to the readers of the Sen
tinel from the vast accumulation of facts,
which the report affords, those which we re-
garded as of special value and most eagerly
sought after, but our space at
this writing forbids such an I'M
dertaking Though, from time 10 time,
we shall refer to the report and
avail ourselves of the information it con-
tsins IN all matters relating to the growth
and prosperity of the State. The Sentinel is
in full accord with the Department Of Statis-
tics and fully iRdorses that portion of the
report which SAYS that "the mission of the
statistician is TO produce the raw material
the facts from which the scientist, states
man, political economist and philosopher
may deduce substantial principles which be-
come the basis of the best civilizations.
Neither the one nor the other can know with
any certainty the true lines of thought
and action. except by the comparison of
truths bearing upon the subjects
in hand How shall National and State
proceed with intelligent direc
ton when members OF these bodies have no
access to the facts bearing upon the subjects
which shall come before them for action?
No one who will with some degree of pa
tent thought study the systematic collec-
ton and classification of facts upon health,
commerce, agriculture, education, manu-
featuring. mining. criminals, ETC., will ever
thereafter ask, What is the use of statistics?"
But it must be borne in mind that the De-
partment of Statistics of Indiana was not
created specially for the scientist, states
man, political economist and philosopher,
but for the people of Indiana, the farmer,
mechanic educator, the labOrer, the men

INDIANA STATS TICS.

We have before us the third annual report
of the Department of Statistics of Indiana,
volume of 432 pages 1t contains, under the
following subdivisions. statistics of agricul-
ture: Labor, economic, social, educational,
mineral, criminal railroad and meteorolOgi-
cal subjects. The tables are numerous, and
as perfect as it was possible for the Depart
ment to make them. aud throughout the
officers in charge have displayed conscien-
tious regard for accuracy of statement,
which adds indefinitely to the value
of the work The information which
the report contains is OF highest
importance to the people of Indiana

all matters OF vital concern; but such re-
ports. II they fail in the accomplishment a
the benefits which the Legislature intended
they should confer upon the people of the
State, it will be because OF their unwieldy
bulk. They are too big and too costly for
general distribution. There is perfect
wilderness Of tables which the average citi-
zen will never explore, provided the book
falls into his hands. There is too much de-
tail, to little condensation From page to

that such tabulated statements could have
been avoided under the Law, nor do we know
that their avoidance was desirable but we

Tribute to Belmont.

Congressman Perry Belmont, of New
York, has received the following from the
Young Mems Democratic Association of
Philadelphia, in regard to his examination
of ex-Secretary Blaine:-
PHILADELPHIA, May g, 1881.
Hon. Perry Belmont:
DEAR SIR-At largely attended meeting OF the
above association held last evening the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That this Association heartily APP
prove of the efforts Of the Hon. Perry Belmont as
a member of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons of the House of Representatives, to compel
James q. Blaine late secretary of State, TO testify
fully as to mis- action in the negotiation connected
with the Peruvian difficulties; that in the judg
ment of this Association Mr.. Blaine deserves 10 be
universally condemned for his tnsolent disregard
OF propriety and gross dlscOurtesy TO Mr.. Belmont
who was acting in the strict performance of his
official duty. Yours very truly,

REPLY OF MR.. BELMONT.

MY DEAR SIR-Tbe approval which the Young
Mems Democratic Association OF Philadelphia has,
by formal resolution. bestowed upon the course
thought right TO adopt on a recent occasion as q
membe of the Foreign Affairs Committee is ex-
tremely grateful to me. The inquiry which the
House OF Representatives directed the Committee
TO make respecting the diplomacy pursued by the
Department of State In South America is undoubt-
eddy of the greatest historical importance After the
successful mediation of this Government in 1871
between spain and the allied Republics of Bolivia
Chilli Ecuador and Peru, by which general arms
tice was arranged between the parties, then in a
state OF war, the position and influence Of the
United States in South America and Ia Central
America as well, were all that we cOsld desire.
But IL must be acknowledged that. at the present
moment the estimation which the United States
held Ia that portion of the Continent Is not con-
ducive to our political or commercial interest.
Whst has produced the change? Has our Govern
ment alarmed and alienated any Of the American
Republics by forcing upon any OF them In their
DAYS of distress claim for vast sums of money In
disregard of the accepted rules OF International
Intercourse and the obligations of international
friendship? Certainly every consideration. po-
litical and commercial made Ii important for our
Government in its dealin2s. IL 1t dealt at all with
