TRANSITORY.
How the Astronomers interviewed On
NeighbOr Venus.


How the Astronomers interviewed Our
NeighbOr Venus.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Prof David-on chief as
tronomer of the American expedition to
Nagaski, JaTan:
During our observation of the transit
of Venus, the weather was unusually
cloudy and unpromising. The time at
which it was calculated the transit would
begin, passed away without our being
enabled to record the exact moment OF
the first contact with trustworthy re-
suit. After, about a quarter of an
hour before Venus reached the stage of
her second contact, the observer at the
equatorial caught glimpse of the sun
and planet. He was quite successful
in taking several measurements of the
planets cusps during the interval be-
tween the first and second contact.
Shortly after the second contact, fur
Their measurement of the distance be-
tween Venus and the suns western edge
were made with the microscope. In all
there were taken $50 micrometic meas
urements of the line between the cusps.
Besides these, thirty one micrometric
observations were made of the passage
of both edges OF the sun across the me-
ridian of the stations, and similar views
of the right and left rims of Venus IN
crossing the same line. Eighteen MI
crometic surveys we're made OF the re-
spective destinations OF the sun and
planet by observing both the upper and
lover limbs while passing the meridian.
About sixty excellent photographs of
the transit, during the various periods
of its recurrence, were taken. Extreme
good fortune attended astronomy, for,
Just as Venus departed from the sun,
the clouds began to gather and threat
ened rain towards the close. We were
enabled to telegraph the difference of
longitude to Vladevostek, so that the
location of the position here is defn-
itely determined.
Prof. Hardness, of the United States
naval observatory, sends the following
regarding the observations of the transit
of Venus at Hobartown. Tasmania.
Although the weather was bad, our OBJ
servations at the time of the transit
were partially successful. We succeed
ed in taking 113 photographs of Venus
during her passage over the disc of the
SUD.
The transit of Venus was successfully
observed at Hobartown, Adelaide and
Melbourne, and at points in India,
China and Japan. The American party
only partially succeeded at Hobartown.
kilograms N regard to the transit of
Vents say that the observation failed in
Orenburg, Casen, Uralsk, Astrachan,
Merth and Tifis, but were entirely sue
cessful at Yokohama.

Cream Without a Cow

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Standard refers as follows to a new
article o. food in the French capital
81 must briefly allude to the new but
ter, called Margarine INQUIRIES. If we -
the world in general that is-rightly IN
derstand the process by which this sub
stance is made-approved by analysts,
adopted by the council of Hygiene, au-
thorized by the government for army
use, and taxed at one rate with the gen
uine article-the end of ali things must
be at hand. This butter is composed
of cream which never dwelt in a COW.
As / understand, it is neither lard, nor
oil, nor grease of any sort, whether ami
NAL, vegetable, or mineral. It is made
of things in chemists shop. Study
ing the process by which green grass is
transformed to milk, M. INQUIRIES Mege
has pursued the task of simplifcation
until he can dispense with the cows
unscientiGc processes. Was it not Lord
time when chemists would be our only
butchers, when, with the help of few
powders, furnace, a spectrogcope, and
elementary education, one would turn
truss of hay into beefsteak in the back
parlor2 That is what M. Mege profess
es to have done, or something like it,
for butter, and his brother Swans all
declare the result perfection. Though
the process is but year old, it en-
ploys four hundred men in seven manu-
factories. The butter-to which that
name is not given by the inventor, but
by the octroi Officials-is sold at about
half the price of the real substance in
which the COW is not avowedly ignored.

Street Imposters.

There are several classes of street
imposters, viz: The meek, low-voiced
one who tells his sorrows in such a
mournful, iuarticulate manner that you
earnestly request him to leave e'er your
feelings get the better of you, and you
become unable to resist the strong de-
sire to assist him-over the fence the
one who merely requires "a little as
sistance" being in "reduced circum-
stances" etc.; the Chicago fire" beg
gar, and the one whose mother keeps
boarders, though it requires a little
strategy to get an admission of that
fact. But there is still another kind for
which society has yet discovered no
sufficiently expressive and appropriate
name. This, generally girl of ten or
twelve, walks up to your front door,
evidently q lite sure of a warm welcome,
energetically pulls the bell with both
hands, and then, drawing her shawl
about her, turns a critical eye on the
window of the opposite house, while
you, after vainly trying to obtain a
glimpse of the "visitcr" from behind
the parlor blinds, shove the children
into the sitting room, close the doors
between, put on your most amiable ex-
preston, and, as the bell again sounds,
hurry to the door. The amiable ex-
preston suddenly dies out, and the
door as suddenly closes on "the old,
old story" please nam, fathers dead,
an mother's"-. Still her self-posses-
sion does not desert her, and she de-
sends your steps with the same inimit-
able nonchalant assurance, goes out
leaving your front gate wide open, and
curls her upper lip as she passes the
parlOr windows in a manner which
plainly indicates the contempt she feels
for the people of that house, and for
yourself in particular.
