SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
occuLTATIoN BY JUPITER.

Mr.. Elery, the head of The Melbourne OBJ
servatory. describes some curious phenomena
during the occultation of a star by the planet
Jupiter, on September II OF last year. The
oceultation Of the star " ga Aquaiil,' by
JnDiter was noted by the Melbourne observers
with the following results ; Mr.. EDeTy him.
self observing with an Sin. achTOmate and
power of 800, says: The star first appeared
TO touch the planets limb at lob. ON. 49,.
mean Melbourne time, and was visible III that
position for nearly two minutes, when, while
still making a projection on the planets
outline, 1t all 1T once appeared as IL seen
through q mist or haze. and entirely projected
on the planets limb. This faded away IN
about ten seconds leaving still a decided
nipplc-hke projection on the edge OF the
planet, as if the planet itself bulged out,
without any signs Of the true light OF the
star and at 1Oh. I'm. 43.S3. this disappeared,
leaving a clean outline to the disc. The light
OF the star, although II appeared ialnt COM
pared to that OF the satellites. appeared as
bright speck on the planets limb when
actually in contact with it,"
Mr.. +. j. White, viewing the occultation
with a 4l2-inch e0uatoreal and a power of
200, thought tie star had really disappeared;
but on looking again" he says, . | saw 1t pro-
jecting as bright nipple on JuDiter, which
seemed to lessen gradually in slzo until l
finally lost sight of it," Mr.. j. Turner again,
observing with the great Melbourne telescope
and power of $50, remarks that " at the
moment of contact the star did not instantly
disappear, but seemed to possess a visible
disc, the limb Of Jupiter seeming to advance
gradually upon it, the star by-and-by appear
ing to be bisected and then gradually dIsap-
pearing altogether. The time of final dsap-
pearance was 10h I'm. 47.6s. mean Melbourne
time, at which instant the circle of Jupiters
limb appeared perfect; previous to TINS, the
star appeared as a small protuberance upon
the limb. which gradually got smaller until
final disappearance. . For about 10
seconds after disappearance the star could be
seen through Jupitcr's atmosphere as speck
of light seen through ground glass. This also
disappeared gradually"
From these observations it is. clear that
when Jupiter occults a star 1t gradually faces
as it IS seen through the dense atmosphere
which forms his seemingly solid limb. 1t
seems useless. therefore, TO employ stimuli
taneOus observations of such phenomenon
for the determination of longitude, or for any
cognate purpose. The larger the telescope
and the larger the star, the longer will the
latter remain visible.

ANCIENT IRON MANUFACTURE.

Mr.. A. l.. HOley thus describes the cOmpO-
sition aud manufacture OF piece OF ancient
Egyptian iron taken from the base OF the OBJ
ehsk which The World is bringing to America
" If we had not known from the general his
tory of the iron manufacture that the Specl-
men must have been made by the catalan
process, the analysis would have SO Indicated
The notable facts III the analysis are: About
half a per cent of carbon. giving the hardness
of ordinary rail steel; very low silicon ana
phosphorus, due to the method Of manuiac-
turc, and remarkably large amount OF cell
cium, indicating the plentiful use OF me as
tux in the process The small amount OF ag

fracture, indicate frequent reWOrklng.

with charcoal, enough to combine WIN It's

impurities the ore had. BY repeatedly heating

the product, although costly, Is excellent

where ore and charcoal are very cheap, but
the modern soft steels have almost displaced
it as a material for boiler plate and other fine
products. Yet curlOusly enough, as Catal IN
iron Is sup2lantcG by steel, the Catalan pro
cess is coming into still greater Use to furnish
material for opcn-hearth steel The pasty

A CROCKETED SLEEVE.

Z { asks for directions for cr0chetng the sleeves
oi iackct m Afghan stitch. with the quantity of
Germantown wool necessary fer the pair. AS she
fails to state either the size Of the jacket the age
Of the wcarer. the reply must necessarily be some
what vague. Perhaps the following may relieve
lcrpeplcxities.
First ascertain from the jacket itself (which it is
presumed is already made the number Of STITCHES
arouod the armhole and make chain OF the re-
CURED length. Raise four of these chain stitches III
the usual Afghan stitch, and work back again.
Now ralsc these and the next four stitches Of the
foundation row, aud work back. On the
next row raise these eight stitches, with
four more from the foundation chain, and
coptiruc in this way to raise four stitches from
the forrdltiOn chain every succeeding row till 1G
stitches are on the needle then work back. On
the following row 60 right across and raise all the
remaining chain stitches. Next work OIL four RAISE
these again. and work back stitches. Raise these
and work back II stitches Raise these and work
back 10 stitches Raise these and now work back
acros, the whole line.
The result thus far is a little gusset on
each side intended to give the sleeve the
necessary slope on the top of the shout
der From this point work on regularly till
the elbow is reached. Then narrow at each side by
raising the first and second stitches as one, and also
the TWO stitches which come before the last. Mar
Tow IN this way every second row three or four
times and then every till within an inch OF the
end Of the sleeve. Then raise two stitches work
back Raise four and work back On the
next row raise tie stitches right across.
WoIk Oh two. Raise these again. and work back
four. Raise again aud work back night across
the piece. Finish with row OF DO. sew the
edges of the piece together and the plain sleeve Is
conIctc I'm raising the stitches the perpendicular
veins are. of course, picked up, and in working
back the wool is first drawn through one stitch and
anerward through two.
The amount OF wool necessary viii depend on the
sze ot the sleeve and the iOOseness OF the work.

THE DISTANCE OF THE sun.

The recent correction in the value Of the solar
parallax is result, says Professor Young IN me
Princeton RerieC. which marks a decided ad-
vance in the STUDY VI the sun. IN lSZ2- "A
Luche dUduced LoAI tic Two tIdLslts Oh Cnus
which occurred III the eighteenth century the
value SOS representing me sun 10 Dc Il hliIc
more than %. 900 600 miles distant from the
earth. These figures stood unqucstlOned for
about forty years. Various researches then
began to point to the conclusion that Enckc ;
estimate was erroneous, and different COmpu-
tatlons were made, showing the value Oh Tue
uorali0X To be from $50" to $40 ana the
distance from % 900, 900 10 81 SOOO miles.
Until recently the value $50, deuuced by
Professor Newcomb in 1867 has been accepted
as the most accurate by astronomers generally.
But within IL year it has been shown that this
value needs correcting. 1t Is now believed
that $50" is nearer the true value tian 3 50 a,
and Professor Young thinks that tie hnal 1e-
sult NAV prove TO be little below $50.
The Investigations which led 10 TINS result
have been made by MIR. Gill, the british as
tronomer. and Mr. Albert Nicholson, OF the
United States Navy. The former went to As
ceuslOn Island in 1877, and made win the
hcIiouetcr observations Of the opposition Of
Mars. With the help of his wife. he obtained
+, complete series of over l,4OO separate
measures. The places OF stars employed by
him as reference points have since been OO-
served by all the principal ODselVdtOucS OF
the world. The value of the suns IaaliaX

accurate measurement Of the velocity OF light

Inv Mr. Nicholson. Hence, as Profc sscr ! ouHg
saws. if we call the suns distance 93,OOO,OOO
miles, we cannot be far wrong.
