Alvan Ciark & Bons had neatly complated what was st that time tho largost and bost rofracting teloscopa 1n the world, to tho order of tho Univorsity of Missla- sippl, The broaking out of the War prevented the {ostrument from going Bouth, and it was seoured for Chicago, through tho porsonal ox- ortions ‘of the Jlon. Thomas Hoyne. Tho cost of the fustrument and {ts mount~ ing—818,100—was met by subsoription among the mombers of the Saciaty ; and tha towar for its recoption was crectod, adjolniog the buildlngs of the University of Chicago, at an expenso of about 830,000, which was dofrayed by the 1lon. J, Y. Scammon. In Blarch, 1840, tho telescopos was placed in position, and Prof. Truman if. Bafford was appointod Director of tho Obaerva tory, becomlug ox-oflicio Professor of Astrono- my in the Univorsity of Chicay uring Lho years 1866 to 1868, Inclueivo, the Director chisly omployed the instrument in making observatlous of tha nebulm, discovoring about 100 uot previously known to exist.

I'io sharo that was allotted to tho Doearborn Obeerratory in this gigantic and most important work was tho zowo included between tho parallels of 85 degrecs and 40 degroes north declination. About two-fifths of tho tasie had boon comploted at the date of tho great firo. “Lhon it was discontimed, and bas ot been ro- sumed, Tho safary of tho Director had beon paid sololy by Mr. Scammon till the dato of that catastrophio.” That calamity made it imposaible for Lim to contributo further.

Larlyln tho year 1871 the Socloty took up a subscription for tho purchaso of a largo clock, which was piaced in the dome of tha Court~ House, and regulatod to exaot time from the Observatory.

Tho Bociety was roorganizod, with o now copstitu- tioa, all tho records of tho old Bocloty baving been daostroyed ; it now consists of 165 members, ‘fhe now subscriptions wero exponded In putting tho buildings an instruments {n much neoded ropair, and the Soclety was onco more on a good workiog bams, The iustruments 1n good order, it was resoived to make them useful. ~ Coutraots Lave recontly beon norfocted, by wirtue of which tho Observatory now supplics by Lelograph an AUTOMATIO NIEFORT OF TRUE by an rverago of 51 signals to every minuto in the yoar, to the following corporations and firms : Chicago' Doard of Trade; Michigan Contral Railcosd Cowmpsuy; Elgin Watch Company ; Giles, Bro, & Co.; N.

The wmoney rocelved for thia sorvico is suffi- cient to moct the present curront exponses of the Obsorvatory, but aot to pay tho salary of a Diractor, Tho intitation is now under tho tem- porary charge of the Bocretary, to whoee efforta the rocomstruction fs largely “duo.
