M. Celora, Milan astronomer. Commander Bahat of the French Staff, and M. Perrotin, the present director of the Bischoffsheim Observatory, have ascertained electrically and astronomically, the longitude and latitude of the new establishment which has been connected with Paris and Milan, by unquestionable observations.
