  • Russian–American Telegraph from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia (Redirected from Western Union Telegraph Expedition)
    Russian–American telegraph From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Western Union Telegraph Expedition) The Russian American telegraph , also known as the Western Union Telegraph Expedition and the Collins Overland telegraph , was a $3,000,000 undertaking by the Western Union Telegraph Company in 1865-1867, to lay an electric telegraph line from San Francisco, California to Moscow, Russia. The route was intended to travel from California via Oregon, Washington Territory, the Colony of British Columbia and Russian Alaska, under the Bering Sea and across Siberia to Moscow, where lines would communicate with the rest of Europe. It was proposed as an alternate to long, deep underwater cables in the Atlantic. Abandoned in 1867, the Russian American Telegraph was considered an economic failure, but history now deems it a "successful failure" because of the many benefits the exploration brought to the regions that were traversed.

The challenge then remained to connect North America with the rest of the world. [1] Working to meet that challenge was Cyrus West Field's Atlantic Telegraph Company, who in 1858 had laid the first undersea cable across the Atlantic Ocean. However, the cable had broken three weeks afterwards and additional attempts had thus far been unsuccessful.

  • Siberian Goats and North American Deer: a Contextual Approach to the Translation of Russian Common Names for Alaskan Mammals CATHERINE HOLDER BLEE’
    ARCTIC VOL. 42, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 1989) F! 227-231 Siberian Goats and North American Deer: A Contextual Approach to the Translation of Russian Common Names for Alaskan Mammals CATHERINE HOLDER BLEE’ (Received 1 September 1988; accepted in revised form 19 January 1989) ABSTRACT. The word iaman was used by 19th-century Russian speakers in Sitka, Alaska, to refer to locally procured artiodactyls. The term originally meant “domesticated goat” in eastern Siberia and has usually been translated as“wild sheep” or “wild goat” in the American context. Physical evidence in the formof deer bones recovered during archeological excavations dating to the Russian period in Sitka suggested a reexamination of the context in which the word iaman was used bythe Russians. Russian, English, Latin and German historical and scientific literature describing the animalwere examined for the context in which the word was used. These contexts and 19th-century Russian dictionary definitions equating wild goats with small deer substantiate the hypothesis that the word iuman referred to the Sitka black-tailed deer by Russian speakers living in Sitka. Key words: Alaskan mammals, Alaskan archeology, historical archeology, ethnohistory, Russian translation, southeast Alaska, faunal analysis, Russian America RI~SUMÉ.Le mot iaman était utilisé au XIXe siècle, par les locuteurs russes de Sitka en Alaska, pour se référer aux artiodactyles qui cons- tituaient une source d’approvisionnement locale. Ce terme signifiait à l’origine (( chèvre domestique )> dans la Sibérie de l’est et a généralement été traduit comme (( mouton sauvage >) ou (( chèvre sauvage )) dans le contexte américain. Des preuves physiques sous la forme d’os de cerfs trouvés au cours de fouilles archéologiques datant de la période russe à Sitka, indiquaient que le contexte dans lequel le mot iaman était utilisé par les Russes devaitêtre réexaminé.

  • Dall's Porpoise
    Dall’s Porpoise Phocoenoides dalli, commonly known as the Dall’s porpoise, is most easily recognized by its unique black and white markings similar to those of a killer whale/orca. It was named by the American naturalist William Healey Dall who was the first to collect a specimen. The Dall’s porpoise is capable of swimming in excess of 30 knots and is often seen riding along side the bows of boats. General description: The Dall’s porpoise is black with white markings. Most commonly the animal will be mostly black with large white sections on the sides, belly, on the edges of the flukes, and around the dorsal fin, though there are exceptions to this pattern. The Dall’s porpoise is born at an approximate size of 3ft. The average size of an adult is 6.4 ft and weighs approximately 300 lbs. The body is stocky and more powerful than other members of phocoenidae (porpoises). The head is small and lacks a distinct beak. The flippers are small, pointed, and located near the head. The dorsal fin is triangular in shape with a hooked tip. The mouth of the Dall’s porpoise is small and has a slight underbite. Food habits: Dall’s porpoises eat a wide variety of prey species. In some areas they eat squid, but in other areas they may feed on small schooling fishes such as capelin, lantern fish (Myctophids), and herring. They generally forage at night. Life history: Female Dall’s porpoises reach sexual maturity at between 3 and 6 years of age and males around 5 to 8 years, though there is little known about their mating habits.

  • The Cullman Library Holds Approximately 10,000 Volumes on the Natural Sciences Published Prior to 1840
    THE COLLECTIONS The Cullman Library holds approximately 10,000 volumes on the natural sciences published prior to 1840. Building on the foundation of James Smithson's mineralogical books and growing with Secretary Spencer F. Baird's donation of his own working library to the U.S. National Museum in 1882, the rare- books collection has been augmented over the years by institutional purchases and exchanges, as well as by gifts and bequests from other Museum researchers and private individuals alike. The Library's holdings are cataloged and searchable in the SIL online catalog SIRIS. THE JAMES SMITHSON LIBRARY James Smithson, an 18th-century gentleman of science, included his library with his donation of $500,000 to found the Smithsonian Institution. The collection consists of about 110 titles - scientific monographs, literature, journals, and pamphlets. Inscribed and annotated volumes, including multiple copies of several of Smithson's own scientific publications, provide insights into intellectual networks of the period. Interestingly, many volumes remain in their original paper wrappers. The library thus represents a rich resource for biographers and bibliographers alike. HISTORY OF MUSEUMS & SCIENTIFIC COLLECTING The predecessors of today's museums were the private "cabinets of rarities" and "wonder rooms" of the Renaissance. Natural history collections, and the manuscripts and printed books describing them, began to be scientifically significant in the 1600s. The best of them were serious, systematic efforts to investigate and comprehend the natural world. From the 17th century on, such efforts were greatly expanded as scientific expeditions sponsored by governments, commercial interests, and the well-to-do brought exotic plants and animals back to European collections.
