boy of five years of age, was accustomed
to ask those gentlemen who came to his

under threat of correction, that he
would not do so any more. The next

Th. satellites or Mars.

The discovery within the past week OF the
two satellites of Mars by Professor Hall, of
the Naval Observatory, is one of those inter-
estng events that mark the advance of
astronomical science, and is. therefore, de-
serving of more than ordinary notice.
Apart from the fact that this recent dis
covery supplies the value of az unknown
quantity which astronomers were forced to
admit in their calculations regarding the
planets nearer the sun than our earth, we
recognize the enormous advantages to
science that must arise out Of possession OF
the means of observation that can SO splen-
6idly reward research. Hitherto the power
of the telescope did not enable us to notice
the positions of planets below certain
magnitude, but gradual improvements
have been taking place in the manu-
facture of instruments by which their
power is raised to that necessary for the
detection of such relatively small bodies
as the satellites of Mars. The great re-
tractor recently constructed for the Naval
Observatory has been the means Of securing
for the United States this latest astro-
AOaAAOut eIAuAApLs AuAos WAtA sAO ohAAA
and experience of our scientific OBJ
servers, secure the most gratifying re-
suits. Professor Hall and his assistants de-
serve the highest praise for their successful
labors, and will doubtless further enrich
our scientific records as the means of doing
SO progress in efficiency. Our special
despatch from Washington this morning
gives some interesting details regarding the
little strangers" Now that Mars is in the as
cendant and the sounds Of war come from dis
tant Europe it is pleasant to note that our
victories are in the peaceful fields Of astron-
omy, and not in the bloodstained ones over
which the war god is supposed to preside.
We are content to lombard the heavens
with refractcrs and capture satellites, while
other peoples devote themselves to bonn
harding towns and villages with Krupp
guns and capturing Cossacks and bashi-
baZouks.
