THE SCIENCE LECTURES

Ottawa was never so much interested in sci
ence as at the present time, when DIR. Richards
is giving his second course of popular illustrat-
ed lecture ii IN Raprist church. Larger, aid
still growing, audiences are in attendance than
we have ever at purely intellectual lectures.
The ''experiments''- -called-haye much to do
with the interest of many; but these apart, the
instruction is so admirable and Ineligible that
all feel the value of the lectures. He has yet one
evening lecture to give entitled "The Fairy Land
Of Science" and it will be exceedingly fascinat-
Ing with illustrations. 1t is to be given tonight,
Rnd doubtless the church will be thronged. The
Professor gives grand matinee this afternoon
Tor children and ladies, which will be the last,
from two till halfpasl three, and will be crowd
ed with very curious and beautiful things. II
will be altogether different from his former after
noon entertainment. By all means let the chill

What viii NOI BE Done.



W,~mNoroy. January Under the pre-
yiuU, system of apportioniug the reprcScn-
.a,f,rs among the several States according
20 numbers, the process has been to first
x the number OF members to compose the
House. then divide the whole number OF
p.orlc in the United States by this NUM-
I,-. which gives the ratio Of representa-
lion or number of inhabitants that are en-
tilted to 4 ReprcScn tatiyc. In the division
oi The number Of inhabitants in State,
thee is a remainder which is left until all
Stats have been cone through, The num-
her resulting from even division is COnSc-
uuertly less than the number fixed upon,
and the difference is made up by taking the
state having the largest remainder and 81
On until the full number is reached.
Vow however. Mr. ScatoE. Of the Census
peuartmcnt. comes in with series Ot
tables ID show that this Is unfair, as by its
adoption the smaller States get more repre-
scntaton in proportion than do the larger
ones. This grows ont oil the division OF
fractions among large number of repre-
Scuta..ycS. The adoption OF the new plan
on Nh, LasiS ut House Of 1876 members
would take one member each from the
number they would have on the old plan
from Minnesota Connecticut, West Nir-
ginia. NebrasEaaEi Rhode Island, and give
TO the great States OF Pennsylvania, New
York, Massachusetts,, Illinois and Ohio
each ore more. The same rule affects large
and snail States in the same way whatever
the uUIlbey may be.
Ii is not likely. however that Mr., Seat,
on's sclemc viii be adopted, tOr the mum
her OF representatives will probably be in.
creased AMI that none OF the States will
lose their present number, and those that
are cnEtlcd to additional members Will be
allowed them upon the old rule. The fact
that many of the State Legislatures meet in
January makes early action by Congress IN
the mater Of apportiOnment important, in
urier tlat the States may he redistricted
before adjournment. 1t is, therefore, prob
able this will be one OF the earliest meas
urCS considered in the House, in which
body the main contest over ii will he, rs II
does no, directly affect the Senate. e.

WASHINGTON January y2.-PennSylyanians
in Washington are looking forward to an
important change in United States officials
i'm that State, to be made next week, per-
haps. The nomination of NevinS to be
surveyor Of customs at Philadelphia is con-
ceded TO be fOrcgone conclusion, and the
assertion is made with great emphasis that
Mr.Casc will be appointed collector at Pitts
burgh I'm addition TO this it is claimed that
Senator Don Cameron has received prom
Use from the Administration that Pennsyl-
yania shall have two foreign missions, one
first and one second class, and that he is
now making up his mind as to whom he
will name for the places, The name oil
General Hartranit is suggested for one
place. as. if he should be appointed, Mr..
Cameron would have the nomination
of a new collector nj Philadelphia. Sena-
tor Cameron has the solid support Of the
entire Republican delegation from his State
with the exception of Congressman Bayne,
OF Pittsburgh. and he is making it very
lively for Bayne. Prominent Pittsburgh
Republicans who have been here recently
say that Bayne's grave has been already
dug. and he will be buried without the
honors of war next fall. Cameron runs

men to Office without even consulting
Baync, and has everything in his own

Doctor Pary's Letters Oh the Subject

DOctOf Fafy y LetterS Oh the SUBJECT
ST. LOUIS January 2.-The Globe Democrat
prints some extracts from a letter written
by DR. Octave Parry, U. S. A., formerly OF
this city, who went to the Arctic region
on the Creedmore in June, 1880, and re
mained in Greenland until the arrival OF
the expedition under Lieutenant Greely
in July, 1881, which he joined as surgeon
and naturalist at Godhaven, ON Disco
Island.
The letters are dated down to September
of last year. and note the arrival of the Pro-
teuS, with the expedition, ut Godhaven last
July, and the passage from there to Lady
Franklin Bay, in Discovery harbOr, where
preparations were made to build house to
be called Fort Conger, i'll honor of Senator
Conger, which is the first signal station of
the colonization party, and future head
quarters OF land exploring parties.
On the passage from Godhaven to Lady
Franklin Bay. DR.. Pavy, Lieut.. Greeley and
Lieut.. Lockwood wentashore at Carey island
and visited the depot of provisions placed
there by Capt Narez, of the English expe-
dition in 1873, at Life Boat Cave, where
passed Captain Hall. They found several
relics of the POlaris camp, and sent them
TO some OF the party row in Washington.
Cape Hawkes., and Washington Survey
Island were also visited, and the depots
established by Capt. Narez inspected At
the latter place Lieut.. Lockwood made u
copy of the record left by Capt Narcz,
which he left in the Cairn and brought the
original away.
At Cape Lieher they went ashore and
climbed lhe cliff, which is about 900 feet
high, and had magnificent view from it,

toned having traced here could not be
found.
Prior to the arrival OF the Proteus at God

THE IRoNDALE FURNACE.
A New Syndicate 10 Take Charge Of the
Property.

STUBEYvILLE, January 1.-The famous
Irondalc case, which has been in litigation
for several years in this county, and in
which large number Of parties are inser-
ested, has at last put on an appearance OF
settlement. The property is located at
IrOndalc, this county, and consists OF about
900 acres Of land, thirty-four houses, and q
furnace and rolling mill, which cost $50
GOO in 1865. The town at that time, and
for some years afterwards, was prosper
Gus place of about 1900 people. which to-
day does not average over 400. The works
were shut down in 1873. and the popula-
ton Of the once industrious village sought
other places and desolatiOn is now imprin-
ted upon the iron town OF thirteen years
ago.
on the 9TH Of December the sheriff Of
this county sold the land for Sll ga TO the
First National Bank Of Alliance, o., and
the mill and furnace to Henry NJ. Long, Of
Pittsburgh, for S34GG7. Nr. Long, who
was acting as syndic, failed to meet the
agreement OF the sale and Judge Miller
FLED a motion in the Court OF Common
Pleas to have the sale set aside. The 2'th
Of December was set by the court to hear
the case, but the hearing was postponed
with the hope that the difficulty might be
adjusted and the sale confirmed. The
National Bank of Alliance paid cash down
for the land. received their deed and the
sale was confirmed Yesterday par
ties from Chicago. Cleveland IN
Pittsburgh were in the city looking after
their interests. and il was believed by many
until late hour last night that the Long
syndicate would secure the property; but
Id was discovered that new syndicate had
hen organized by the following named
Grntlemen. and the money. S3i .657. had
Beeh placed IN the hands OF the sheriff: ].

tomorrow morning there will be strong

of the new syndicate.
