The Little Moons Of Mars.

MARS u6S Ueeu repeatedly eAdiulueu
with the most powerful telescopes under
most favorable conditions. When near
est to us he is about thirtysfve millions
of miles from the earth. Jupiter when
nearest is eleven times farther from US.
So that if Mars had q moon as large as
the least of Jupiter's, or in other words,
about as large as our own moon, it would
look about one hundred and twenty.one
times larger than the least of Jupiters
moons. It would exceed that moon in
brightness in a much greater degree, be-
cause Mars is much nearer to the sun
than Jupiter is, and therefore receives
much more light. In fact, Mars receives
about nine times as much light as Jupi-
ter. Thus moon of his as large as ours
would shine fully one thousand times as
brightly as the least of Jupiter's.
But the least of Jupiter,s moons can
be seen in the smallest telescope ever
used for astronomical purposes. The
telescopes which have been turned on
Mars without finding any satellite are
fully two hundred times more powerful
as light.gatherers than the smallest, 80
that moon showing disc only 100000
part of that which would be shown by a
Marian moon as large as ours ought to
be easily seen in the largest astro-
nomical telescopes. From this it follows
that if Mars has moon whose diameter
is greater than about the four hundred
and fiftieth part of our moons, that moon
ought no more to escape observation with
the powerful telescopes directed upon
Mars than the moons of Jupiter escaped
under the scrutiny Of Galileo's tele-
scopes.
But that is as much as 10 say that Mars
can have no moon more than five miles
in diameter. Astonishing though this
may seem, it will be readily perceived to
be just when we consider that according
to the estimates of Mr.. Stone, formerly a
chief assistant at the Greenwich Observa-
tory, the diameters of some of the small
est of the minor planets are less than
twenty miles; and yet these, though
much. farther away than Mars, have been
detected with telescopes by no means the
most powerful of those employed by as.
tronomers. In fact, some of the tele-
scopes turned upon Mars are altogether
too large and cumbrous to be used in
searching for small planets.
We do not know how large the two
moons of Mars which have just been dis
covered actually are. As yet we have
only the news of their discovery, and
that they travel at distances of about
1880 and about $500 miles from the
centre of Mars, in periods of about thirty
hours and about fifteen hours respective.
ly. But as distance of 1890 miles
from the centre of Mars corresponds to q
distance of more than 1900 miles from
his surface, or fully two and half times
his diameter, there seems no reason why
the glare of the planet itself should have
concealed the outer satellite, at least
from view. We are compelled therefore
to conclude that this satellite-and prob
ably the other also-must be very small
We shall be surprised if it has a diameter
of more than ten miles, and as we have
said, if it has a diameter of Eve miles il
ought to have been discovered sooner

THE CONSTABLES.

Charges Against the Coroner.
The constables Of the city met last
evening to take further action on the
course Of Coroner Stitch, who has aroused
their anger by giving cases to special
con stables.
A long and bitter discussion was in
dulged in, and a committee finally ap-
pointed to draw up charges against the
Coroner. One of the specifications is
that he swears in men as jurors who
owe him money, so that hesmay be able
to collect it from them in this manner.
"In other Words" said a constable,
"the county pays the private bills due
to DR.. Stich."
The charges and specifications will be
handed over TO County Solicitor Paxton,
who will determine whether the
matter ought to be brought in
Court or not. 1t is evidently
the intention of the constabes to harass
the Coroner until they finally drive him
to a resignation, or bring up charges
which will lmpeach him.

VERY HARD SH.
The Finance Committee ON the
Ragged Edge.

The members OF the City Finance
Committee are squirming. They don't
know how to cut their coat in accord
ance with the small amount OF cloth on
hand. Loder wants to sell Burnet
Woods. Jimmy Fitzgerald don't.
Saddler don't see how the city adVertis-
ing is to be paid for. He says he
can't see his way clear unless salaries
are reduced. City Auditor Hoffman
made little statement to the Commit
zee, which did NOT tend TO raise their
spirits.
1t was to the effect that the city owes
the Gas Company for the months Of
March, April, May and June, about
$66, 600; that six months taxes amount
to only $t7 800, and, in consequence, the
gas bill now due will consume the in
coming levy Of 75-100 OF a mill for the
year. AS to tue Street-cleaning Depart
mcnt, il was shown that it had $36, 900 to
90 on for the current six months. MI
John ID. Caldwell thought 1t bad policy
| TO reduce the allowance for this depart
ment, as the cholera season was at hand
and clean streets were wanted. But the
levy was reduced 5-l00 mills, cholera OF
no cholera.
The Intrmary was overhauled next
Repairs in the way OF drainage, flooring
cooking and heating apparatus, laundry
etc., are needed. Saddler did not wan
to make any improVem ents. Mr.. LOder
thought they should be made, as the in
stitution was far from being comfort
able, as they even have no chimneys u
carry of the smoke. Jimmy Fitzgerald
was dead against all proposed expen
diture of money for that institution
saying the inmates are far more com
Portable than a good many people out
side OF it.
Mr.. saddler thought that the presen
levy would leave Them with an over
plus. Up steps 81. Hoffman with tn

the lnnrmary is $4,000 in debt. The
