Scientific paper

HAVING read only yesterday the agonising account written by M. Marie-Davy and countersigned by M. Delaunay, descriptive of the Communists having made the Paris Observatory one of their chief strategical points, of the domes of the observatory having five hundred bullet-holes through them, and of the rabid attempts made by the citizens in arms, before retiring on the approach of the Versaillists, to burn or blow up the whole building. I am not a little surprised to find in NATURE of June 8, received here this morning, a statement to the effect ``that the Paris Observatory had suffered scarcely any injury up to the end of the second siege. No delegate of the Commune had presented himself either to take possession of it or to blow it up.''
