The ROMANCE OF AsTRoNoMY.-Our friend of the
Cincinnati Observatory, gives in the Atlas, of Thurs
day, the substance of article In Schumuckers As
Economical Journal, by DIR. Maedlor, of the Dorpat
Observatory, in which the learned Doctor Processes TO
have discovered the Central SIN Of the Astronomical
Universe!
This discovery. in the .nguage of the newspapers,
is certainly very wonderful, If true
Tins discovery be announces ID the following Ian
guage:
% therefore pronounce the Pleiades to be the CEN
trail group of that Of fixed stars limited by the
stratum composing the milky way. and Alcyene as
the individual star of this group hich, among all
others, combines the greatest probability of being the
true Central Sum-" So
This is probably the why JOB thought
highly of the PieiddeS. 1t rather favo-s the Water
Theory Of the Biologists, inasmuch the Pleiades
have, from all Antiquity, been supposed to preside
over the rains!
DR.. MeadlOr has made the following calculation:
"As a rough approximation, he deduces the period
of revolution of with all its train of planets
and comets, about the grand centre TO be eighteen
millions ttco hundred thousand gears.
"The ascending node Of the orbit is (lS40) in 236
deg. 50 min. of longitude, and the will reach
this point A. d. $4,000 or in about one hundred and
ffty-two thousand six hundred and sixty years"
This is certainly very moderate space of time for
one gentleman TO be travelling round anotheri If
Phaeun did undertake drive the chariot of the
Sun, he had most alphabetically SEA time Of a."
Next, after the discoverer of the Elixir of Life,
we shall have the most profound respect for DIR.
Meadlor!
Certainly it is not impossible that System may
form part of greater one but there many things
to be demonstrated and made clear before credit can
be given to such annunciation as this.-Cfncin-
