about FIVE inches in length. and
weighed perhaps TWO ounces each and
we're in coed condition. Immediately
after they arrived we put them in our
pond, situated about halt mile east

about oue-half an acre of warm
spring water. temperature 90 at the

other Kind of fish in the pond, that We
knew OF, excepting some small chubs.
We put screen at the outlet to pre-
vent trout and other carnivoTcus
fishes from entering the pond. As
we took them oat OF the can and
placed them in the pond, they all

SATURDAY, End DECEMBEB 1882.

We are indebted to First Lieut..
William HOvgaard for a valuable
article on the Transit of Venus,
which he has previously published
in the GeOgr0phiske Tjdsskrif, and
a translation of which will be
found below. The subject is one
with which the general reader
cannot be supposed to be famili-
ar, but is here handled with
great clearneSs, and is also made in
teresting by the numerous details of
methods and the historical notes re
ferring to previous transits. The
critical day is close at hand, and we
sincerely hope that the weather
which has of late been fine and clear,
will continue to be so on the day of
observation, and so favour the ex-
petition which our Mother Country
has sent out as to enable its NOM
bers to contribute their full share to
the scientific knowledge which is
sought.

Venus and the earth both move
around the sun in nearly circular
orbits, the Earth at a mean distance
of about 20 (92)* millions of miles,
Venus at a mea distance of Ia (65)
millions of miles. The plane of the
earth's orbit is called the Ecliptic,
/. The milssare given In Danish miles and converted into Eng.
llsh miles, the figure for these in parsuthesis,

suns distance is the necessary condi-
ton for all measurements of absolute
distances, and consequently also of
dimensions, our moon excepted, We
can easily understand what immense
interest is centred in the observations
of the transit Of Venus.
Observation Of the Phenomenon.
The first question that here pre-
sents itself naturally is, where shall
we observe? The decision of this
question in the 18th century was not
fortunate, and the poor results of the
observations Of the transitS of 1851
and SO must in a great measure be
attributed to the distribution of the
stations. This distribution should,
namely, be such as to secure the
greatest differences in the Observa-
tons, which is done by placing the
stations far from each other both
towards East and West and towards
North and South. At the same time
there are other things to be consider
ed, since, in order to lessen the refrac-
ton, we must select stations where the
sun will be rather high in the sky
during the passage, also the climate
of the place should preferably be of
that character that W. may expect
clear and calm weather.
The result which we may look for
depends however first and foremost
on the care with which the observa-
ton itself can be carried through; but,
as we shall presently see. several cir
cumstances intervene which make
this in a high degree difficult and
complicated.
The observations at the edge of the
suns disk consist in observing the
contacts between the clrcumterences
of Venus and Of the Sun, and there
will therefore be il all four points OF
time TO ote As we cannot. how
ever, say with perfect exactnesS at
what part of the suns circumference
Venus Will enter, and as the planets
motion Is extremely slow, a not in
considerable time Will always pass
before we can distinguish with GER
tainty the slight following Of the SUMS
edge which the planet produces on
its entrance, and the first contact is
therefore as good as useless by the
method Of spectrum analysis it has
been sought 10 help out this obServa-
ton but without any great result.
The last contact, when Venus leaves
the sun, is likewise particularly diff
cult to observe, and there remain
therefore only the two inner contacts;
and these, as we shall see, still pre-
sent on their OWE part difficulties
enough.
One source Of error, az already
mentioned, is refractlon, that bend
ing of the light in its passage through
tho air which causes US to see the
contacts either earlier or later than
they really happen. If however the
sun is toIerably high above the hori-
zon and the air clear we need not
fear any great inaccuracy from this
cause,
The astronomers Of the 18th centu-
ry thought that it would not be pos
sible to make an error of over two
seconds, at the most, in observing the
inner contacts, and ever if the error
amounted to three or four seconds it
, 1882-12-02

is inclined to the Ecliptic at an angle
of between three and four degrees
The line where the two planes inter
sect each other is called the line OF
the nodes. Now when the two
bodies are both in the line OF the
nodes at the same time we on the
earth see Venus as a dark spot pass
ing from east to west over the suns
disk. 1t is this phenomenon which
is called a transit of Venus"
AS the revolution Of the earth
about the sun takes 365 days and
that of Venus 225 days, we should
have a transit every 584th day if the
orbits were in the same plane; but
as the two planes are inclined to each
other it is necessary that Venus
should be in or at any rate near the
line of the nodes in order that the
phenomenon shall happen. This will
therefore only occur at greater or
less intervals; they are 12l5-8-
1053- s. 1215-8-1053 = and SO
on. Consequently we have %transits
in 1631-1639-1761- 17G9-1874
-1882-2O05-2 O12 2117-2125
and 50 on.
It is well known that it is the dis
lance of the sun from the earth that
we wish to ascertain by the help Of
the transit Of Venus; and the posi-
biIity Of doing this will be seer from
the following illustration. In the
centre Of the large open space in
Copenhagen called Kongens NytorV
stands a monument, a mounted figure.
Two streets, Bredgade and Store
Kop&ens Gade, enter the square at
opposite ends of the same side. Let
US now suppose a person standing at
the ends OF each Of these streets and
both looking towards the horse in the
centre Of the space. Now let a car
riage drive around the horse, and it
is plain that the two persons will see
the carriage passing in front Of the
horse at different moments Of time.
Precisely in the same way will two
observers at places lying far apart on
the earth's surface see Venus pass
the SUMS edge at different mo-
ments. Now, the distance between
the two observers being known, we
shall be able, with this as a base and
with the time difference i'll the obser-
vationS, to calculate the angle under
which the earth's radius would be
seen from the sun, hat is, the suns
parallax. From this by a simple
calculation we can find the suns dis
lance.
Besides hat the edges are passed
by the planet at different points of
time for the two observers, the rela-
tive position of Venus on the suns
disk during the whole transit will also
be different. From the differences
thence arising in the distance of the
centres and SO forth we shall also be
able to calculate the parallax, and
hence we can unite micrometer mea-
Surements during the transit with the
observations for contact at the cir
cumference. Since, further, we can
take a sharply defined photograph,
of the SUI especially, in an extraor-
dinarily short space of time, We may
replace the direct micrometer mea-
surements by microscopic measure

Bishop Elder, successor to Arch
bishop Purcell, in his Lental regu-
lations and address, gives some good
counsel to Roman Catholics. The
following is worth reading. He says:
AS far as can see the most fruit
full of all the nurseries of immortality
is the pouring out every morning,
all over our city and far around into
the country, of stream of moral
poison through the daily papers.
Remember that filthy thoughts are
injurious to every soul-your own
as well as your children's. To feed
the mind on impure variations, even
of facts, without any better reason
than morbid curiosity, is a venial
sin, an offense against God that He
will certainly chastise with great
severity. II it inhames the imagi-
ination with sinful pleasure, will
fully enjoyed even for moment, it
is mortal sin deserving hell. Be
then on your guard for your own
souls, and vigilant for your children
whose imagination is more easily
carried away. If you see that one
paper is more filthy than another,
watch against that one more partic-
ularly. If each good citizen, espe-
cially each father of family, would
for himself manfully discounte-
nance, in words and in acts, any pa
per that shows little sense of shame
and little regard for public morals,
he would do his share towards cor
recting the evil. The loss of sub
scribers and advertisers might drive
them into more respect for decency.
One of the best remedies fer evil
reading is cultivating a taste for
reading that will enrich the mind
Supply your family with papers and
books that will convey useful infor-
nation and ennobling sentiments,
and, most of all, with such reading
as will best develop in your souls
the likeness of God, which is the
essence of human excellence.
