TIE BEErHov EN- SOCIETY REUNION.
Tho only musical event OF last week "4s the
pleasant reunion Of the Beethoven Society ut their
rooms on Friday evening, which opened the sea-
son of this society. As these reunions are not
In the nature OF sat concerts, but are rather 1u-
tended as social and musical occasions, there IL
no need Of criticism. At the same time, there
wore sone features worthy OF notice. The
instrumental numbers were tho Rub1nsteln
Sonata in major for piano and cello (Wolfsohu
and Eichheim), an elephantine waltz from Won
BuloYs "Carniva1 in Mlan," Wieniawskls
..Lepende" for violin, arranged TOR cello (Eich-
heim). aud Schuman's magnificent Quatuor for
piano and string instruments, which was very
finely given by Messrs- Wolfaohn, Lewis, Allen,
and Eichheirn. The vocal numbers were
Bennet's canzonet, sin Radiant Love-
liness," sung by Mr. E. Dexter,
who made his debut on this occasion, and who
Possesses very clear, pure, and ringing tenor
voice, which gives promise Of good work IN the
fnture: Raf's Se1enade and 2" Swedish
Song" sung by Mrs n. S.Watous with 30 much
y;gor and dramatic expression as to call ous the
most enthusiastic applause; and Abts . Blum
lein and Hazg," with horn obligato, by Hiss
Lizzie Hoyne and Mr. LeMoyne, which can
hardly be said to have added much to the at
tractivenees of the eurertainmont- a horn IL
yary uncertain and dangerous instrument even
in professional hands. In those Of an amateur
it is as precarious ~ running for Congress.
Notwithstanding the dreadful condition OF the
weather. there was q good audience IN attend-
auce, and the entertainment was a most enjoy
able one.

The Suns DIsTANCE.-The first deter
mination of the suns distance, computed
from observations on last December
transit of Venus, comes from French
source, in the form of a letter addressed
to the Astronomer Royal, Prol. Airy, and
published by the latter in the London
Daily Nens. The computations are made
by NJ. Puiseux, an astronomer of the Paris
Observatory, from eye observations at
Peking, China, and the island of st. Paul,
in the Indian Ocean. The difference of
latitude of these stations is more than 1917
degs., which gives pretty long base line
for calculations by the Halleyan method.
The result announced for the solar paral-
lax S,S79 seconds. This is a somewhat
larger parallax than the favorite figures
now in use among astronomers, though
not as high as some estimates that have
been made. If correct. it will reduce the
distance of the sun to about 81 300, 900
miles. Prof. Newcomb's studies, in ad-
vance of the transit, led him to the belief
that the distance would ultimately be de-
Iermined between 90, 100000 and $4,000

STORIES OF fHE BIG SQUAsH.-The big
squash of Amherst Agricultural College
Farm, which grew so stoutly that it burst
several iron cages, an finally lifted 4, 100
pounds (and Of which a plaster cast is
preserved), had enough roots underground
to feed it for its hereulean work. The
squash vine was washed out with its roots
by the continued use of garden hose for
twenty-four hours, and the whole root
system was spread out on a floor and care
fully measured. The main branch was
twelve or fifteen feet long and aggregated
some 1000. One of the seventy modal
roots, four feet long, had $50 branches.
and most careful estimate of the rami-
ications Of the rootlets, based upon the |
actual measurementof the division, showed (
that the squash vine had between fifteen \
and nineteen miles of roots. Reckoning
the number Of days it had been growing
(hfty -two), it was found that it must have
been on an average 1000 feet per day,
and on favorable days about 2,0OO. feet
Colonel Clark, the President of the Apri-
cultural College, says that while this
growth was going on, and the big squash
was expanding and lifting its enormous
burden, great drops of sweat stood ali
over its great rind, proving that it felt the
great task imposed upon it.
