Sl.75 A YEAR

Royal Astronomical Society contains
an account of the preparations now
making by Lord Lindsay, the heir
to one of the richest and most ancient
Scottish duchies, for an expedition
to the Island Of Mauritius. His
party will be more thoroughly
equipped than any other yet ar
ranged for-with provision for photo
graphic observation by both methods,
with a large and perfect heliometer,
and with arrangements for the obser-
vation of contacts spectroScopic;.iy,

1t is speaking entirely within bounds
to say that all his plans seem to be
laid on scale Of truly princeiy mag
nificence; with no regard to display,
indeed, but without regard to expense
where expense can secure any real
gain in accuracy and certainty Of
result.

IFrom the indcpcpdent.l
Science.

As the approaching transit Of Ven
us draws near. the notes of prepara-
tion thickcn on every side, and it is
evident that it is to he most thorough
" observed. In the Northern Hemi-
sphere the astronomers will be sta
toned along a belt which extends
from the mouth Of the Nile, across
Palestine, Persia and Siberia, to
Northern China and Japan. In the
Southern Hemisphere New Zealand,
Tasmania, and the scattered islands
of the South Pacific will be occupied.
The Russian Government have pro-
vided for % stations in or near their
Siberian dominions. At three or
four of their stations the observa-
tions will be made with heliometers
instruments by means of which the
apparent distance of the planet from
the centre of the suns disc can be
accurately measured at any moment.
At several other stations photography
will be employed brt at the greater
number probably the observations
will consist of a simple noting of the
moments when the planet first touches
and leaves the solar disc. The ar
rangements, however, are not finally
completed, and the programme may
quite possibly be changed in many
respects. The German governments
combine in providing for three prin-
cipsl and two Subsidiary expeditions.

What poet, what word-conquerer
shall yet arise to fitly describe a
Colorado mountain brook Cold as
ice, clear as diamond, fostering the
loveliest ferns, MOSES and creeping
plants on its rocky borders; shad-
owed by solemn white pines whose
pictured trunks shoot up one hun
dred feet, and then spread into in
terlacing branches; and above all,
an ocean of deepest, tenderest blue,

A UNIQUE AND FUNNY SCENE.
Monument Park was the next
wonder on the programme. ] may
as well confess at once that the re-
suit Of that visit was to fix certain
unromatic alternatives firmly on my
mind. The sight of those funeral dra-
ped sand figures with chocolate-col-
ored caps awokc neither awe nor
enthusiasm. | was convinced either
that the wags Of the prc-Adamite era
once collected all their fashionable
neighbors' chimneys together and
filled this valley with them for fun,
or else that all the queer. lOng-nccked.
stif-skirted old maids Of the same
period were at some time suddenly
turned into stone, and were thus con-
demned to present this ludicrous but
instructive spectacle to future ages.
TO me this set of formations is not
solemn except at a distance, when
they certainly mimic Greenwood or
Mount Auburn very creditably, but
when you stand in the midst of them
they arc simply funny. l affirm that
if some of the tall, slender females
Of the days of tiltinghoops had been
suddenly petrifed by an outraged
Providence, they would have looked
exactly so, and the large dark top
which invariably crowns their little
heads is exceedingly like the porten
tous sun-bonnet affected by worthy
matrons in some of our rural districts.
These caps are said by the guide-books
to be made of"black hematite;" :" but at
moderate distance they would re-
present black gingham distended by
pasteboard very well. do not know
what black hcmatite means; | never
met anybody who did; but | CON
clude that it is a kind of fossilized
calico, very much the worse for wear.
The bodies Of the supposable Lots
aunts are of sand, apparently stuck
together just enough to stand up. all
as round as though turned in lathe,
and full of little pebbles which ap-
pear to have no necessary connection
with the parent stem.
regret to say that We spent our
time in Monument Park entirely in
naming the columns after different
acquaintanccs whom we thought
they rcsembled, which base advan-
tage taken Of the absent may have
been the reason why we were caught
in a thunder shower and obliged to
take refuge in a ncighboring ranch.
