 The Move to Erect 8 Seaman,s Bethel.
 At the last meeting of the Ladies' Seaman's Friend Society for the port of New Haven, held Monday afternoon. February 23 vote was passed empowering the president to pro cure plan, with an estimate of the cost of such building as is needed for a Bethel, to be submitted for approval to an advisory com- mittee, MT. F. W. Pardse, Wm. P. Dicker- man and George filling, who, together with Mr. Atwater Treat, shall arrange for site for the Bethel. Mir. Thresher reported that he had visited about 15O vessels during the last three weeks; 26 sailors had signed the pledge; three meetings a week had been held at the reading room and many have been hopefully converted. One of the most encouraging and touching manifestations of interest in the new Bethel was shown by call from Deacon Smith, who brought with him six dollars, nearly all of it contributed by the inmates of our county jail, given in response to his plea that every man and woman there should give enough so that each one should at least buy brick in the Bethel. They thought it was a pretty poor place for money, but the next Sunday morning this amount was ready for him. For those who read between the lines of this meagre statement there is something to be found far more precious than dollars.

Pierced By An Auger.
Singular Accident fn the Erie Railway
 Machine Shop.

MRCh1ne ShOps
 Thomas Eagan, of No. 128 Pavonia avenue, Jersey City, machinist employed in the Erie railway machine shop, met with singular &C., cident Monday. During dinner hour from noon until o'clock, the machinery in the shop is stopped. The whistle is blown at the latter hour and the machinery again set in operation. After Eagan had partaken of his lunch he stretched himself upon bench to rest until the hour had expired The bench is pierced in the middle by hole through which huge auger is constantly ascending, descending and revolving while the machinery is in motion. Eagan lay in such position that one of his legs, just below the knee, was over the hole. He fell asleep while lying on the bench and was not disturbed by the sound of the whistle. When the machinery started the auger de- scended as usual and the sleeper was awak- ened by feeling it boring obliquely through his leg. He was powerless to release himself. His cries attracted the attention of his fellow workmen, but before the machinery was stopped the auger had made it's way through his leg, the wound extending from below the knee to the calf of the leg. Although he must have suffered intensely he exhi bited the greatest fortituds, calmly giving the engineer directions to start the machinery and release him. He bore the pain while the auger was taken from his leg without a murmur. His injuries arc serious.

Seriously Injured-A Narrow Escape
 from Death.
 Mir. Abraham Thompson (about 55 years of age), residing at 184 East Chapel street, met with very serious accident and narrowly escaped death last Thursday morning MT. Thompson is in the employment of the Empire Transportation Co.,, and at the time of the ac- cident was at work unloading one of the ''Preston barges" at the Wire Mills dock, Fair Haven East. A powerful gust of wind raised one of the hatches weighing about 800 pounds and carried it with great force, strik- ing the unfortunate man on the head. In falling his face came in contact with one cf the iron buckets, the catch of which cut through his nose and penetrated his left eye, utterly destroying it. His cheek bones were also badly cut and his face and head much bruised. He was picked up insensible and

But we are chiefly to concern themS6lVeS tonight with the instruments used in fixed observatories for determining time. You are aware that the stars are located on the celes- tial sphere by system of co ordinates, closely resem bling our terrestrial ones of latitude and longitude. These are called Declination and Right Ascension. Now Destinations the astronomer measures with carefully gradua- ted circleS, but in measuring Right Ascensions the astronomer fixes his instrument in one plane, and notes by his clock how long after one star passes this plane another follows it. But he must be able to measure this interval of time with degree of ofaccuracy which cor responds to the accuracy reached with the graduated circle. Hence the Observatory con- tinues to be recognized critic of the perform ance of time-pieces, for nowhere else in the arts or sciences is the exact measurement of considerable intervals of time of such vital importance. The instrument almost univer- sally used in determining the time is the Astronomical Transit instrument. We have before us tonight very beautiful specimen of this instrument, presented to the college by Dr. HilIhouse. You notice that it has but one motion, simply around this axis which points east and west, and makes right angle with the telescope tube. Now, as l take hold of the telescope, you see the telescope only moves from the north to the south, that is, in the meridian. If we suppose this axis to be perfectly horizontal, and this delicate level rests on it's pivot and will tell if itisnot so,- I think you will readily see that the astrono- mer has only to point the instrument so that it will have the same altitude as star approaching the meridian, in order to have that star visible in the telescope as 1t crosses it. Now, if we imagine the star to be exactly in the centre of the field of view of the tele- scope to night, and if we do not move the tel oscope, tomorrow night at about this time the same star will reappear, and the interval between it's two successive appearances is one sidereal day.
 Unfortunately for our purpose nature has not provided a visible meridian line, and ac- cordingly the astronomer contrives 8 visible substitute. We have on the screen a circle of light you would see by placing your eye to the telescope. You will understand that it will take several minutes for the star to cross this circle of light, or what is the same thing, the field of view of the telescope. To tell when the star is in the middle of this field
