A Lost Planet.

A sad event has occurred in the
family of asteroids. Hilda is lost. One
of the nearly200 members of the plane
tary sisterhood, revolving between
Mars and Jupiter, can no longer be
found in her accustomed celestial
haunts, though the sky be swept by the
most far-seeing telescope. The family
holds an insignificant position in the
solar scheme. 1t is already very large
and constantly increasing, while several
of it's members have been lost before.
and no connection was created by their
disappearance. Why, then, should such
lamentatlon be made over the lost
Hilda? Simply because she is the most
important asteroid astronomers have
ever picked up. Her orbit circles far
outside OF the others, and brings her
the nearest of them all to the planet of
Jupiter. She is a well-behaved planet
on ordinary occasions, but, when she
comes closest to the giant of the system,
she cuts up all manner of antics, in ODE
dience to his will. Curiously enough,
these vagaries or perturbations are care
fully measured by astronomers, and the
tiny planet can thus give more informa-
ton concerning the mass of Jupiter
than any other member of the solar
system. Therefore is Hllda's loss
deeply to be regretted, and therefore
will unceasing efforts be made to dis
cover the whereabouts of the wanderer.

ENGLAND'S MiLLIONATRES.

The Men of Power Who Have Gained
Wealth aud Position by Their Own IF
forts.
London, writes a correspondent of
New York paper, still manages to
sell vast quantities of works of art, and
the merchants and manufacturers of the
North are still among the chief patrons
OF the studios and auotion-rooms. The
finest galleries, the most costly collec-
tons of modern days, have been made
by the cotton kings of Manchester, the
merchant princes of Liverpool and the
midland manufacturers. Another cir
cumstance worth remembering is that
most of these rich art collectors have
been the architects of their own fort
unes. Indeed, the majority of the
wealthy men of business in England
have either made their own fortunes or
sprung from some poor, clever, indus
trlous man, who, like Richard Crawshay,
has laid the foundations of the house.
Here are few examples: Ripley, the
Member Of Parliament for Bradford.
who owns half the town, is self-made.
His father and mother used to attend
the market and carry home in cart ar
ticles for dyeing. The father of Bass,
the great brewer, was in a very small
way of business, and his mother sold
yeast in little shop. The First
Lord of the Admiralty's father kept q
small news-agent's store in London.
Mr. Walter, Member of Parliament and
chief proprietor of the Times, dates
back, | believe, to his fathers humble
printing office in the city. Mr.. John
ston, who left behind him the Stand
ard, worth $4,000 year, beside real
estate, was an officer in the old Bank
ruptcy Court. The late Herbert In
gram, Member of Parliament and
founder of the Illustrated Ne1Us, kept
little drugstore at Nottingham. Mr..
Lawson, the chief proprietor of the
Telegraph, from which he draws for
his half share quite $4,000 a year,
was the commercial representative of
an ink-house. He is now one of the
richest commoners of England. Re-
port has it that his income is over
100000 year. This, of course, does
not begin to approach the incomes of
the wealthy men of England who have
inherited as we'll as made fortunes.
Robert Crawsbay had at least $35,0OO,-
600 lett him by his father. How much
more he has made or lost I don't know.
He gave his daughters wedding gifts
that would buy a German dukedom.
But, talking of newspaper men, Labou-
chere, in spite of the newspapers and
theaters, pays income tax on 100000 a
year. He was robbed some time since
by forgeries On his bank of $4,000, ex-
tending over some months, without be-
ing aware of it. The bank called his
attention to some irregularity which
brought the fraud to light.
