Som ONE has written TO the Inc
rDrsihg N5n'bIY to inquire if any
changes in the weather are attrlbuta-
bic to the influence of the moor.
The editor referred the communica
ton to Commodore Maury, His
answer will disappoint a great many
weatherwise folks. The changes OF
the moon have no effect upon the
weather. The moon changes, says
Commodore Maury, every n days
consequently every change i'll the
weather must take place within the
period of SO days, either before on
after n moon changes, Hence the
popular ~fallacies about her changes
and tho weather, for every weather
change must bs within SO days be-
fore OF after a moon charge, and her
worshippcrs give her all the credit
for it. The moon governs the tides,
but not the atmosphere. The most
faithful observers have failed to de-
toct any tide in the latter, or any
variableness under the moons iniiu'
ence. SO this vexod question: may
be considered rs set at rest, and We
can defy the weather prophets.

THE failure of the Trade-Unons recent
ly to carry points they have insisted upon
rather arbitrarily, will doubtless cause
them TO move more cautiously in the fu-
ture, and to be sure of their ground before
making a step. The newspaper proprietors
of Milwaukee. finding the restrictions inn
posed by the Printers Union so onerous as
to threaten to crush their business, made a
united stand, and their establishments now
all work as .'rat" offices. A general strike
of the printers of Milwaukee has precipi-
tated a catastrophe. which destroys the
power Of one class of the trade-unions in
that city at least, but which leaves the
employers at liberty to manage their own
affairs hereafter. 1t is announced that all
the newspaper offices in Milwaukee will
continue to pay the scale Of prices
fixed by the union; the proprietors do not
object to the rates, but they do protest,
and in the most effective manner, against
interference with their own affairs by an
irresponsible body of men.

From the N Y. Commercial Advertiser.]
AT the last meeting of the Royal Astron-
omical Society in London, DR.. Higgins, the
eminent spectroscropist, made an extraor-
binary statement respecting the motions
taking place among tho stars. The results
he announces are wonderful. Four years
ago he applied the spectroscope to the
case of the bright star Sirius, though
his instrumental means were not then
sufficient to render him quite certain as to
the result. Still he was able to announce
with some degree Of confidence that Sirius
is receding at rate exceeding twenty
miles per second. In order that be might
extend the method to other stars, the Royal
Society placed at his disposal a fine teles-
cope, fifteen inches in aperture, and speci-
ally as much light as possible with that
aperture. Suitable spectroscopic appliances
were also provided for the delicate work
DIR. lluggins was to undertake. 1t was but
last winter Says the Spectator that the in
strument was ready for work but al
ready DR.. Higgins has obtained the most
wonderful news from the stars with its aid.
He finds that many of the stars are travel
ing far more swiftly than had been sup
posed. Arcturus, for example, is travelling
toward us at the rate of some fifty miles
per second, and as his thwart motion is
fully as great, (for the stars distance has
been estimated the actual velocity with
which he is speeding through space can not
be less than seventy miles per second.
Other stars are moving with corresponding
velocities.
But amidst the motions thus detected,
DIR. Higgins has traced the signs of law.
First, he can trace tendency among the
stars IN one part Of the heavens to approach
the earth, while the stars in the opposite
part of the heavens are reeeding from us,
and the stars which are approaching lie on
that side of the heavens toward which Her
schel long since taught us that the sun is
travelling. But there are stars not obey
ing this simple law; and among these DR..
Higgins recognizes instances Of that COM
munlty of motion to which modern stu
dent of the stars has given the name of star
drift. 1t happens, indeed, that one of the
most remarkable of these instances relates
to five well known stars, known to as
tronomers as Beta, Gamma, Delta; Epsi-
lon, and Zeta, of the Great Bear, all of
which are drifting bodily through space,
and receding from the earth at the rate of
about thirty miles per second.
This result at once illustrates the inter-
estlng nature of DR.. Higgins discoveries,
and affords promise of future revelations
even more interesting. '."
