At

and
Lima

.
Three
days
after
the
manifesto
of
President
Barbicane
$
4,000,000
were
paid
into
the
different
towns
of
the
Union
.
With
such
a
balance
the
Gun
Club
might
begin
operations
at
once
.
But
some
days
later
advices
were
received
to
the
effect
that
foreign
subscriptions
were
being
eagerly
taken
up
.
Certain
countries
distinguished
themselves
by
their
liberality
;
others
untied
their
purse-strings
with
less
facility
--
a
matter
of
temperament
.
Figures
are
,
however
,
more
eloquent
than
words
,
and
here
is
the
official
statement
of
the
sums
which
were
paid
in
to
the
credit
of
the
Gun
Club
at
the
close
of
the
subscription
.
Russia
paid
in
as
her
contingent
the
enormous
sum
of
368,733
roubles
.
No
one
need
be
surprised
at
this
,
who
bears
in
mind
the
scientific
taste
of
the
Russians
,
and
the
impetus
which
they
have
given
to
astronomical
studies
--
thanks
to
their
numerous
observatories
.
France
began
by
deriding
the
pretensions
of
the
Americans
.
The
moon
served
as
a
pretext
for
a
thousand
stale
puns
and
a
score
of
ballads
,
in
which
bad
taste
contested
the
palm
with
ignorance
.
But
as
formerly
the
French
paid
before
singing
,
so
now
they
paid
after
having
had
their
laugh
,
and
they
subscribed
for
a
sum
of
1,253,930
francs
.
At
that
price
they
had
a
right
to
enjoy
themselves
a
little
.
Austria
showed
herself
generous
in
the
midst
of
her
financial
crisis
.
Her
public
contributions
amounted
to
the
sum
of
216,000
florins
--
a
perfect
godsend
.
Fifty-two
thousand
rix-dollars
were
the
remittance
of
Sweden
and
Norway
;
the
amount
is
large
for
the
country
,
but
it
would
undoubtedly
have
been
considerably
increased
had
the
subscription
been
opened
in
Christiana
simultaneously
with
that
at
Stockholm
.
For
some
reason
or
other
the
Norwegians
do
not
like
to
send
their
money
to
Sweden
.
Prussia
,
by
a
remittance
of
250,000
thalers
,
testified
her
high
approval
of
the
enterprise
.
Turkey
behaved
generously
;
but
she
had
a
personal
interest
in
the
matter
.
The
moon
,
in
fact
,
regulates
the
cycle
of
her
years
and
her
fast
of
Ramadan
.
She
could
not
do
less
than
give
1,372,640
piastres
;
and
she
gave
them
with
an
eagerness
which
denoted
,
however
,
some
pressure
on
the
part
of
the
government
.
