ssMARRIAGE is a Lottery, = they say.
Betty Breeze thinks that it is as often
a business of speculation. A man and

tunes in this way; they meet and pre-

time, they swear. nndying attachment
and enter into the bonds. Then COM

to govern everything; husband says he

in q case that is clearly out of her
Jurisdiction; husband won't hear to it;
they come to a pitched battle of words;
husband flies, but carries the day for
all that. Hurrah for the husband!
After awhile, wife reflects that she was
fimprudent in this case; she should have
let him alone this time, and confined
her attention to matters more in her

THE HURRICANE OF THE
T, DESERT. .....z-... =

THE following graphic description
of the Samiel, or hurricane of the Ara
bian Desert, is extracted from an old
publication: ~. Nj: j.. nj Il
Our caravan was slowly pacing
through the boundless pfain--the
horses steps sounding more hollow
than usuhi on the earth, and q more
awful stiffness reigning in the atmos-
phere. Suddenly lurid glare over
spread the eastern extremity Of the
horizon, while q thick sulphureous mist
arose From the ground in rapid eddies
next mounted up to the sky, and
finally overcast, with threatening dark
ness, the whole vault. At these ter
rifle symptoms our Arabs turned pale,
and goaded on our cattle with headIong
Efury-in order, il possible, still to out
run the baleful blast. But in vain
Hoarsely murmuring, the hot stream
swept the ground with frightful speed,
and, much as we might quicken our
pace, gained fast upon us. Perceiying
themselves eneompassed on all sides
with ITS fiery breath, our people shrek
ed with terror, our very cattle howled
with instructive anguish, and all that
had life fell fiat on the ground, bury
ing nose and mouth deep in the shift
ing sands--in hopes that the nyenom-
ed current, gliding over the PROSTATE
limbs, might not penetrate into the
Vitals. -. r. r. ..::..;-. .@
''Near half an hour did the raging
hurricane keep us thus rivetted to the
/ ground, without daring to move, or
speak, or scarce to draw breath, and
soon entirely covered us with a fine
impalpable dust, which not only found
its way into every fold Of our gar
ments, but, as we afterwards found,

The periods Of rotation, in the 4th
column of this tahIe, wore salosIetsd
by the aid Of formula / }, using the
elements In the End and Bird columns
These calculated periods are precisely
the same as the observed periods, so
far as the latter have been ascertained.
The diameter OF Neptune is proba-
bly, not yet known within several thou
sand miles; for an error Of observation
of three-tenths Of second of an arc,
would, at that great distance, produce
an error OF over 1000 miles in the call
.culated diameter Of the planet. The
same statement is equally applicable
to the determination OF the mass. An
error Of observation ON the dimensions
Of the orbit of Neptune's satellite,
though it should be only q small por-
ton OF q second Of an arc, yet would
produce great difference in the calcu-
lated mass.
1t will be seen blythe formula which
i have given, that it the rotation is
known by observation, the ratio Of the
mass and diameter can be calculated;
and that if any two of the clements are
known, the third can be determined.
Whether the law Of planetary rota-
ton can be extended to the rotative
periods Of the satellites, attending the
four exterior planets of the solar sys-
item, is not known. 1t is supposed by
some, from observation, that the pc
RODS Of the rotation of the satellites
are equal to their periods Of revolution
around their primaries: but this needs
confirmation by further observation OF
greater perfection and accuracy than
what the present powers of the teles-
cope seem capable of affording. .G5

the four satellites of Jupiter, as given

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY Z

The settlement Of the Mississippi
Valley began in ITS, in which year
the FIRST colony, or united company Of
emigrants, landed at Marietta, in Ohio.
they had crossed the Alleghanies to.
Brownstone, on the Monongahela, and
then embarked on i flat-boat or ark,
and Hoated down to the mouth Of the
Muskingum river. They were bold
and determined men, ever actuated by
the principles Of truth, virtue, and IN
dustry. From this germ I'M fifteen
years arose the State Of Ohio. N.
Since 1903, when Ohio was received,
ten more States have been admitted in
the Union, fronting on that river, eight
ON its west and two on its east banks,
4 namely LOUISIANA, In0lana, IliInOls.
Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Mich

besides the Territories, one Of which
namely, Kansas, is nearly ready 70

going on in the west and southwest
Alabama, Maine, and Florida in TIL

Ednced the one-tWentieth of q second ii
an arc, it would reduce the real diane.
ter 116 miles, which would give 4
calculated period Of rotation such al
should exist in order to correspond pre-
cisely with the ratio Of the periods 81
revolution in their orbits. In the cases
|of the 3rd or 4th satellites, there would
have to be d greater correction III or
der to make the rotative and orbitual
periods Of the same length. u al mistake
lot small fraction Of a second of an
arc, might easily be made in the ap-
parent angular diameters. Likewise
as the masses are dedneed from OBJ
Eservations oil the minute perturbations
which the satellites exercise upon each
other, it is evident that minute error
in such observations, would give d
much greater error in the calculated
masses. Therefore, masses and dame
tiers might be assumed within the limits
of unavoidable errors, which would
give calculated periods Of rotation for
the four satellites Dc the same length
as their orbitual periods. .
The astronomer cannot fail to. per
.ceive that this remarkable law IS some
what analogous to the one discovered
by Kepler, connecting the orbitual
periods of the heavenly bodies with
their distances from their centre of
motion. When Kepler's law was dis
covered, the distances Of the planets
were very irnperfectly known; but not
Withstanding the imperfection Of these
data, he clearly perceived the relation
between them and the periodic reyolu-
tons around the sun. So likewise, in
this new discovery, no one can fail to
see the relation existing between the
density Of planets and their diurnal ro-
tations, notwithstanding the former ele-
ment is so imperfectly ascertained.

deyelopelnent and diffusion of useful
knowledge. / snbseriha. slyssIe vonr

REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPHS

THE New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Enquirer writes: -. u. :.
A gentleman of this city, well known
as, an astronomer and amateur photo
grapher, has succeeded in taking photo
graphs Of the moon, with . beauty and
accuracy far exceeding anything Of the
kind previously accomplished in this
country or in Europe. Last evening, at
a private exhibition Of the Dissolving
Views Of Messrs. Marsh and Kaye,
who have recently arrived from Eng
land, these delineations of lunar seem
cry, being subjected to the operation Of
their apparatus, were reproduced and
magnifed with the most vivid effect,
each view being twenty-five feet
square. :z..,s..;.. b :s. +. !.
The result is Of the greatest interest
mot only to astronomers, but to those
who, with less scientific curiosity, have
so often watched the moon. Al larger
moon than was ever seen by mortal
eyes before, was projected upon the
screen. The picture Of the half-moon,
the volcanic hollow, one side of which
the sun was lighting, while the other
remained in gloom, made a splendid
show. In the full moon, beside the
great seas, the most striking object
was the mountain Of Tycho, from which
great mountain ridges of light streamed
off in every direction, like rays from .
sun. 49, -. ..s..... ~ =. - r

If it be true, that the relative periods
of these satellites are equal to the Pc
riods Of their revolutions, then the law
does not apparently hold good for this
secondary system, unless the diameters
and masses are affected with consider
able errors; if the apparent angular
diameter of the 2nd satellite be re-
