FIRE ENGINES.

AT meeting ofthe Fire Wardens and Captains
of the several engines, held on Friday evening Nov
%, reports received of the engines, and hose
which were generally reported in good order. No.
was directed to be furnished with some new hose
to replace, in addition to, the old. The hose of
No. ?, was reported as being almost wholly unfit for
service, yet nothing done to put her in situa-
ton to maintain the character which the activity,
strength and energy, of her members have attained
for her. The citizens will recollect that No. 2 has
been more serviceable in cases when engines
needed, than any other in town, and will no doubt
consider that they entitled to the means of sus
tanning the reputation they have already gained.
Without good hose cannot again overflow the
other engines but have done it, and ifit is not
done again it must he attributed to our not being fur
nished with the means of fair competition. The
chagrn and modification of defeat, should seek
solace in practising their engnes-and not endeav-
or by crppling their opponents to leave them with
out the means of fair trial

Mr. Editor:-A few days since, while reading
song in the Masonic Register, published in 1902,
my eye accidentally fell upon the following lines.
They struck me forcibly at the time, as contain
ing very much, that is happily adapted to other
occasions, than that on which they were used,
and embodyng sentiments, which, were they
strictly regarded, would be productive of much
peace and happiness among protesting christians,
and give the devil less occasion TO exu, in The la
mentable divisions, which, too frequently, exist,
among those who should be united heart and hand
in promoting the glorious cause of their Redeem
er. have transcribed them, for publication in
the Star, if you think proper.
We are SO sef-confdent, so given to Boosting,
and have such propensity to think that we are
exactly right, and others exactly wrong, that we
loose sight of every thing in the shape of charity
and Judge of others, not by their motives, not by
their professions, not by their Hres, but by the
limited standard of our circumscribed notions.
think all who read these two lines, as simple as
they are, will perceive that there is much more
confined in them, than would be embraced ii
some long and labored essay on the subject.

Curious Astronomical Theory. We
state the following on the authority OF Mr..
Arago, an eminent French astronomer
Ii we place in horizontal line the series
of figures of which the law is evident:
0 3 G 10 "a 48 SO l92
leach double the preceding,) and after
wards add to each, we shall have Sc
ries denoting the relative distance Of tho
Planets from the Sun thus:-
4 I 10 l6 % so 100 /196
Mer Ven Earth, Mars, .....Jupter, Saturn, Uranus
Ii 10 represents the distance of tho
Earth, will be that of Mercury, We
nus, l6 Mars, and 80, 100, and io6, the
respective distances Of Jupiter, Saturn,
and Uranus. This law was known as far
as 100, before the discovery of Uranus;
and the distance being found to cores
pond, affords a very remarkable confirma-
lion of its truth But it will be observed
there is deficiency of one term between
Mars and Jupiter. This led philosophers
to su ;pect the existence of a planet at tho
distance required to fill up the vacancy;
and in 1901, Piazzi, Of Palermo, actually
discovered one, whose orbit was between
those of Mars and Jupiter, and nearly at
the proportional distance of 28 from the
Sun. This planet was named Ceres; and
since that period three others have been
found-Pallas, Juno, and Vcsta-all Of
which have their orbits SO near each 9th
or as 10 lead astronomers to believe that
these are the fragments of larger planet
which had been shattered into pieces by
somc internal explosion, or shock of a
comet.-London paper.
