LECTURE ny REV. JAMES WATERS ON
AsrRoNoMY-AN IMPORTANT MEETING
NEXT WEEK.
Rev. james Waters delivered his second
lecture on Astronomy before the Della
ware Institute for Mechanic Arts on
Saturday evening to large and deeply
interested audience. The lecture was
devoted especially to the explanation of
the nebular hypothesis.
The lecturer said that among the many
theories invented by scientists to explain
the processes Of creation, Hone harmouize
50 fully with the facts of nature, as the
Nehular system, yet this system Is so
bold and startling in It's conceptions as
to stagger the most Imaginative, If they
have not been par tally prepared for its
wonders by previous study.
In the study Of astronomy we are more
the children Of fancy than we would like
to acknowledge ourselves in any other
line of thought, the thinkings and
theories are but theories still, and are
only acceptable and reasonable, rs they
harmonic with known facts or demon
strated laws.
The nebular system in creation is based
upon the assumption that the sun is the
grand centre from which proceed all the
forces that create and control created
matter, that II Is the material. ln itself,
# whieh worlds are made. A kind of
blast furnace in which worlds are held in
solution and thrown of in regular and
systematic order, to cool and contract
| into solids.
Perhaps the most startling points in
this study Is the immensely of distance.
| Assuming this system TO be the correct
one. the force needed to throw of such
| immense bodies to such incOnceivable
distances challenges, If accepted, our
| highest admiration or awakens uEbelef

sun, which to our minds is a good long

Of miles away. followed by the earth al
nincty-iive millions of miles. Mars reach
ing the awful-to-thmk-o distance of onC
hundred and forty-flve millions of mile
from that centre in which this system
supuoses il originated and from which !
has been thrown. The power that cat
compass such an enormous result is onl,

March 3lst, 1873, inclusive, Mr.. John
Brewster, who ROW owns and operates the
upper mill, of what was formerly known
as Lords factory property, located on
the Big Elk, In this county, used l4G.-
309 pounds Of raw cotton. Out Of this
raw material was produced, manutnc.
tured goods amounting to 1888, 200 pounds.
To convert this amount of raw cotton
into manufactured stuff, 10 addition to
water power, 1000 pounds of coal were
consumed the work employing 40 hands
constantly during the year. This freight
was hauled from Newark depot, on The
P. W. & B. Railroad by wagons. The
factory is located on the west side of the
stream which necessltates the crossing of
the creek at fOrding with this large
amount of freight, which Is often fousd

CHARGES THAT THEY HAVE BEEN I'M
POSED rPoN.
Oar latest advices are to the effect that
fourteen Of the Swedes employed in and
around Middletowu, have left their places
and that many more are greatly dissatis
fed. II seems that MANY of them have
corresponded with Mr.. Rose, Swedish
gentleman, agent for MIR. John Ericsson
in New YORK, and that he has in
formed them that they are under no
obligations morally or legally to re-
main in the employ of those who paid
their passage, for IA whole year. In letter
to one OF them Mr., Rose saws 81 would
"advise you to remain at least five months
"but not day over six months"

each month is to be retained to compen-
safe him for the $50 advanced to bring

Now the claim made 10y those who de-
clare the Swedes imposed upon in this
matter, is two.iold. First. That as #
only cost about $40 to bring each swedC
over, and any steamship agent would
have gladly done for them just what Mr.
Malmsteu has done, that the twenty do
lars over the actual expense charged hy
him is cX orliOnate. Second. That the
rate OF wages agreed upon Is too low, and
that the immigrants are therefore i'm
