AN ASTRONOMICAL REyELATI0N.--The Lon
don Neacs says: Strange news has recently
been received from an Australian obServa-
tory. 1t might be described as revolution
izing our ideas respecting the largest Of the
planets were it not that the careful study OF
certain much older observations had already
led the more advanced students OF astronomy
to adopt the theory which has now been
demonstrated by direct observations. Du-
ring the last eight or nine years the belief
has been gaining ground that the giant
planets Jupiter and Saturn are In state
of intense heat, and enwrapped IN atmos-
pheres Of enormous depth and density. In
fact, it may be said that, according to the
new theory, we never see the actual body
OF either Jupiter or Saturn, but only the
outermost surfaces Of their outer layers OF
cloud, the real surface lying not few miles
or few hundred miles, but several thou
sand miles below the cloud-surface mea-
sured by astronomers. 1t has been shown
that all the phenomena presented by the Two
giant planets correspond with this theory,
whereas not one in ten can be explained by
the older theory. Fortunately, in the case
OF Jupiter we have evidence which every
one can understand; for at the Adelaide
Observatory, where a fine telescope by
Cooke has been erected, and where singu-
lar purity Of air greatly assists astronomical
observation, two practiced observers, on
two different occasons-both observing on
each occasion-saw the nearest OF Jupiter's
satellites through the outer layer OF the
planets cloud-aden atmosphere, which
must therefore of necessity be at least 1000
miles in depth.

FRENCH COLoNIsTs FOR VIRGINIA.-The
Franco American Society held a meeting
Sunday afternoon. The managers had
hoped that others than members would be
present, but they were disappointed. The
objectsof the Society is to obtain money or
credit upon which colony can be planted
in Virginia, and money enough raised to
keep the colonists in bread until the first
crops are harvested. Several communica-
tions were read from land companies offer
ing lands very cheap. The French Benevo-
lent Society has been asked to assist in the
enterprise, but no response has yet been
received. Mayor Ely has declined, on be-
half of the city, to assist the colony. 1t is
said that he will again be requested to guar
antee bread enough for six months for
about fifty families. Another meeting will
be held next Sunday.-Neeo York Tribune.

Science OH ss Blue Glass"

We are asked why we do not discourse OF
Pleasonton and "blue glass" Why should
VIC. Is it not abundantly considered by
the press already? "But, really, what dc
you think OF pleasonton and the bluc-glass
cure:" is now the obtrusive question
Well. we think that the man is pestilcnt
ignoramus, and his book the ghastliest rub
bish that has been printed in hun
dred years. lie may be entirely honest,
but that is no reason why we should give
attention to his egregiousfolly. Pleasonton,
however, it must be confessed, serves one
important function: he gauges for us the
depth and density OF American stupidity.
De Morgan says, somewhere, that certain
men appear occasionally to play the part OF
" "foolometers - in the community-thatis is,
to measure the number and quality OF
the fools furnished by any given state
OF society. Pleasonton has done this for
us with an accuracy that leaves nothing to
be desired. Our showing in this respect is
on very handsome scale, fully commensu-
rate with the length OF the Mississippi, the
sweep OF the prairies, the glory OF the Cen
tennia Exhibition, the grandeur Of the
national debt, and the splendid proportions
of our system of education. He is a public
beuefactor, in that he has given us an
other "blg thing" The interesting point
Just now about .bIue glass" is psyche
logical. 1t Is an exponent Of popu-
lar intelligence, an index OF culture,
register OF common-School work, and
test OF the influence OF colleges. Our
collective schools produce in the community
certain state of mind; "blue glass " in
dicates it. There is evidently very close
connection here, and the problem deserves
to be worked out. If the intercollegiate
Literary Association will offer an additional
prize for the best essay on the connection
between the study of Latin and Greek and
the "blue-glass" mania, The Popular
Science Monthly will furnish the money for
ular Science Monthly for May.
