UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS.

The death of Prof. James G. Watson,
which recently occurred at Madison,
recalls to mind the serious losses
sustained by the University of
Wisconsin in the demise of those hold
ing Professorship in the Faculty of
that institution, four of whom have
died within the past three years, as
follows: John b. Feullng, PHI. d.,
Professor of Modern Languages and
Comparative Philology. Stephen H..
Carpenter, l.. l.. D., Professor of Logic
and English Literature, William J. l..
Nic0denus, 4. NJ. c. E., Professor of
Military Science and Civil and Mechan-
zeal Engineering, and James G. Wat
son, Pm. D., l.. l.. D., Professor OF As
tronomy and Director OF the Wash
burne Observatory. The death of
Professor Watson is serious loss not
only to the State University but to the
cause Of science. He was one of the
foremost among astronomers, and at
the time of his death was engaged in
the construction of an experimental
observatory. at his own expense, by
which lie hoped to he able to take bet
ter observations of the sun and its Vi
cinity than any heretofore taken Mi.
Watson was an enthusiast in his chos-
en- profession and fortunately possessed
means sufficient to enable him to pros
ecute his experiments without iinan-
cial assistance from others. He WAS
greatly aided in his life work, how
ever. by the munificence of eX-Gov-
ernor Washburne in presenting to the
State University an Astronomical on
servatory equalled by but few in the
superiority of its construction anC

THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT.

There is a probability of the retire

sociate Justices of the United States
Supreme C0urt-JuSticeS Strong,
Swayne, Clifford and Hunt-and the
re-appontment of Senator David
Davis, Of illinois, to place on the
Supreme Bench has been suggested.
Though Davis has not been shining
tight in the Senate he had previous to
his election to the position he now oc-
cupies generally been 70 nized as an
able jurist. and he is .Dtless better
fitted to fill judicia ana legislative
office. Should he b red and ac-
cept a Supreme Co, 'dgeship an
other stalwart Rep n will succeed
him in the Senate Illinois. JUS
tices Strong ard Swayne. by reason of
advanced age and continuance upon
the Bench. may retire on full pay
$40, cooper year. Justices Clifford and
Hunt, by reason OF physical disability,
are unable to discharge the duties of
their office and it is probable that for
this reason Congress will enact spec
ial law for their retirement on full
pay.
