J 3. 7 Marsh, IN Sunday Afternoon

We want Sunday that shall not be \.
day of bondage or sluggish endurance
We want one that shall be day of inspi.
ration, calling men to higher thSmes, holi
er resolves and larger vicws-lust such a
busy quickening, cheerful day as it was
to those who had the privilege of sharing
with the Master the Sabbaths he spent on
earth over eighteen hundred years ago.
1t is no libel on the daily paper to saw that
it does not. and cannot be expected to helm
us make Sunday such an uplifting. soul
strengthening day. We are not likely to
be sweeter in spirit, higher in purpose,
larger in spiritual sympathy on Monday
morning for its entrance into our Sabbaths.
II Is the ally, consciously or not, of the
continental Sunday Its own interests
push it into that position 1t is doubtful
whether there is any other influence at
work that is doing SO much to bring that
calamity upon us.

proach in order, il possible to detect

earth.
fBefore entering upon the subject of
his lecture on the following evening,
Prof. Proctor remarked that his aver
ment, in his previous lecture, that the
moon is beyond the domain of the earth,
and is more controlled by the sun than
by the earth, had apparently raised
doubts in the minds Of some persons,
and he had received letters requesting
further light on the subject. One. in
quirer asked why, if it is true that the
moon is chiefly under the suns influence
instead of the earth's, it (the mOon)
goes around the earth The answer is,
the lecturer said, that the moon does not
90 around the earth. The earth and the
moon both circle about their common
center of gravity. The moons path
around the sun is very slightly waved,
owing to the perturbing influence of the
earth's attraction, but this variance is so
comparatively slight that if the moons
orbit about the sun be represented by a
circle three feet in diameter, the vari-
ance from true circle, caused by the
earth, would be hardly preceptible.

At their return, in 1852, they were yet
keeping up their swift race, but they had
very much changed in form. In 1859
their pcriheli0n passage was too near
the sun to permit them to be observed.
In 1865. when they should have been
seen again, they could not be found.
They were also missed in 1871. But it
had occurred to Alexander Herschel
and to Prof. Proctor that at the time
the earth crossed the path OF those
comets it would be well to look ont for
meteors. Meteors were looked for, and
a very brilliant display was seen on Nov.
81 A German astronomer was 80 sure
that this display was caused by the earth
meeting the fragments of the missing
comets that he autographed TO an OBJ
server stationed in the southern
hemisphere, "Biela touched the
