ALL TRAMPs NOT LAZY LoAFERs "A
charitable experiment which has been GO
ing on for several weeks in Providence,
Rhode Island, has developed some signifi-
can't facts in regard to tramps. The city
authorities decided, instead of giving
lodgings in the police stations to any and
all who might come, to give lodgings and
food to those, and those only, willing to
earn them by labor. A wood yard was
opened and placards were exhibited in the
police stations, notifying all applying for
accommodations that they would be ex-
pected to work on the next morning. When
morning arrived the dodgers were escorted
to the wood yard, and after three hours
toll they received a hearty dinner. The
tramps have worked willingly not one
has tried to evade earning his food and
lodgings, and many have expressed them
selves thankful for the opportunity to toll.
A book kept by the man in charge of the
wood yard shows that nearly all are young

The discovery ofthc satellites Of Mars
by Professor Asaph Hall, Of the Wash,
ington Naval Observatory, was one that
had an important bearing on the sCicn-
tihc theory known as the Nebular Ilypo-
thesis. IL was found that the inner
satellite reyOlycs about the planet in a
shorter time than Is occupied IN reyo-
luton Of the planet on It's axes Mars
reyolyes once in about twenty-four
hours, while the inner satellite completes
its revolution in q fraction over seven
hours. So an observer stationed upon
the surface Of the planet would see one
moon apparently rise like the earth :
moon in the east and set in the west.
while the other moon-thc inner
satcllitc-would rise in the west and set
in the east. But according 10 the Neb-
ular Hypothesis, all satellites derive
their motion from their primaries when
thrown Off from the latter. Their veloci-
ty ought, therefore, 10 be nogreatcr than
their primaries, but rather less. The
Nebular Hypothesis supplies nothing 10
account for this motion Of the inner
satellite Of Mars, and unless other causes
can be found 10 explain il, that hypo-
thesis cannot stand.
The force Of this objection has been
felt by scientific men, and anumbcr OF
conjectural explanations Of the anomaly
have been proposed. 1t is well known
that in the case Of planets having an
elipsoid orbit the radii are shortened
by any resistance met, and that thus
their velocity is increased. In order to-
account for the propagation ofthe waves
Of light through the intersiellar spaces.
physicists have assumed these spaces toI
be filed with an invisible ctAer.p III
has been suggested that this ether might
offer sufficient resistance to account for
these changes Of velocity. This theory
was broached previously TO the discove-I
nv of the satellites, TO account for some
observed alterations in the motion of
Encke's comet. But it is replied to thisI
that nc know TOO little of this lumini,'
ferrous elhef-i.s very existence being

sions about its effects on the planetsI

AFARMER ROBBED BY MASKED
BU RG LARS.

Reading, Pa, March l9.-At about S
o'clock last night five masked men enter,
cd the house Of Thomas Logan, retired
farmer, aged 70 years, and living near
Campbcllstown, about twenty miles from
this ciE. His sister Grst heard them in
the rear Of the house, and when they
broke open the door'sho Hed TO her room.
Two Of the burglars followed her, and,
pointing pistols at her head, told her TO
sit down aud make no alarm. She tainted
with fright The other three went to Mr.
Logan's room, and bound and gagged
him. One Of the robbers stood guard over
him with pistols, while the others searched
the house They found about $3.50 in
gold and silver, and threatened to kill the
old man if he did not reveal where the
rest of his money was concealed. He re-
fused, and they tken threatened TO burn
his private papers. When they found that
he would not tell them where his money
was, they burned about $4,000 in notes,
mortgages, &c, in his presence, taunting
him by saying, Daddy, don't it burn
nicer" The thieves then stole two horses,
and left for parts unknown.
