URANUS.

The planet Uranus is now very favorably
situated for observation, though, except
with a / powerful telescope, there is very lit
tie to observe. 1t is ut presen: easily detect
ed by the naked eye on a dark night, being
the eastern OF two faint stars, which lie
about ! ] degrees northeast of the bright star
Regallus. TO the telescope it presents a
pale blush disc, about o%ne-tourth as large
as that of Saturn, without markings or spots
of any kind. Telescopes less than eight
inches in diameter would have no chance to
show any of its satellites. With instru-
ments of nine to ten inches aperture, a fair
~ good eye cam. under favorable circum-
stances, see the two quite" ones, Oberon and
Titania, though, to make measurements of
their position, would require a still larger
aperture. The two inner satellites, Ariel
and Umbrial,V \. are beyond the reach of all
but the most powerful telescopes. Even
with the great Washington Equatorial they
cannot always be seen.

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.

1O1AL GV1110L VI 41Ac poNs
On the Doth of July next a total eclipse OF
the sun takes place under such circum-
stances as to present opportunities that oc-
cur scarcely once in a generation, TOR the
study of some of the most interesting phen-
omena with which astronomers have to 40.
The path of the totality Of this eclipse runs
~diagonally across the center OF the United
States from Montana to Texas. ana is some
where about 40 miles wide. Many OF the
best points for observing the eclipse are
therefore directly accessible by railroad, and
several expeditions might be sent out fully
equipped to as many different points, with
out spending so much money upon them all
as it would ordinarily take to equip a single
expedition to a more distant point.
Recent discoveries have rendered it prob
able that most Of the meteorological changes
in progress upon this planet are caused by
events taking place upon The sun, and many
questions relating to the physical constitu-
ton OF that orb, and the changes there ia
king place, can only be studied during q to-
tai eclipse. It is said by Admiral Rodgers,
OF the Naval Observatory, that the sun of
the opportunities which all the astronomers
Of the world. can get for observing such
eclipses does not exceed five or six hoursin
q century, and it is therefore important that
every advantage should be taken of the very
favorable conditions for observation under
which the present eclipse occurs. All the

the importance of studying the phenomena
attendant uponsthe total eclipses, and send
out costly expeditions, even to their anti
podes when necessary, for this purpose :;
and there is no doubt that there is Il general
impression abroad that our government
would make ample provisions for the study
Of a matter Of such general interest, that is
visible almost exclusively within our bor-
ders, or the different foreign governments
would no doubt be preparing to organize
Our government, however, has SO far done
nothing, and it is possible that one Of the
best opportunities that may occur in many
years for the study of solar phenomena may
pass away without any advantage being ia
ken of it.
The Naval Observatory is awake to the
Importance of the occasion, and has asked
Congress for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the purpose of sending off seven eXpedi-
tons, two of which it is designed to send to
Montana, two to Texas, two to Colorado,
and one to Wyoming, each to consist of
three astronomers. The sun asked for was
simply to pay travelling expenses and cost OF
transporting and setting up the instruments
in their temporary .observatories, nothing
being requested for salaries, as the mostem-
inent astronomers will gladly. volunteer
their services for such an important occa-
sion.

Two things are absolutely neces-
sary if civilized society in this coun-
try is not to be disordcred for many
years by communism. The first is
that the public must stand ready to
crush every revolt against law, swiftly,
thoroughly, merciIcssIy. The law
breaking communist must meet no
more liberation than a mad dog.
Next, there must be public opinion
which will stamp out any political
party or leader who a.iiiates with or
courts the spirit Of communism. Civ
iIiled society must learn to hold as
public enemies every organization, po-
litical or trade, and every public man
or official in any degree leaning to-
ward communism. 1t must be treated
as we treat cholera or smallpox, or
its work will be far more deadly.

Ordinarily fifty or sixty cords Of
wood per acre is large Yield. In
many of the States the best wood
lands yield a much less quantity;
there is rarely found N acre Of virgin
soil yielding 100 cords of marketable
wood. In Washington Territory,
however, according to estimates given
to the statistican of the Department
of Agriculture, at Washington, among
the evergreens and oaks the yield is
simply enormous In one county
there are thousands of acres which
would yield from 800 to 600 cords
per acre. Oak timbered lands yield
on an average 200 cords per acre.
Says the annual report of the lard
Office, in relation to this land; at
will produce from 25.000 to 10000
feet per acre and ''there are vast
tracts that would cover the entire
surface with cord wood ten feet high"
The report speaks of forests of pine
trees from one to fifteen feet in diam
eter, and 200 to 800 feet high, and
red and yellow pines of gigantic
growth, often attaining a hight of
300 feet, and from nine to twelve feet
IN diameter.
