AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
The Coming Transit of Venus from
n Scientific Standpoint.

The great Importance CT the coming transit
of the 9th of December, in the estimate Of the
men of science, may be seen in the prepara-
tions now being made for Its observation.
Forty expeditions to witness it are already
projected, and the number Will be largely In
creased by those OF the United states, italy
nounced. The French Government Will send
eight expeditions to the following points: Four
in north latitude and four in south latitude.
In the north the stations chosen are the coast
of Florida, under the charge of Colonel Perrler;
Cuba, under NJ. d Abbadle; tho coast of Mexico,
under NJ. Bouquet de la Grye; Martinique, an
island OF the French Antilles, under NJ Tisse-
rand. In the south the stations chosen are
Santiago, in Chill, under M. Leclerc; Santa
Cruz, river Of Patagonia, under NJ. Fleurialsi
Rio Negro, the northern boundary of Pata-
gonia, under NJ. Perrotin, and Port Desire or
Chubutt also in Patagonia, under NJ. HIATT.
The members Of all the expeditions are now
preparipC for their work at the observatory in
Paris, where by means OF a model Venus and
model sun they are practicing on imaginary
transits in hopes of being able to observe with
scientific accuracy the passage of the real
Venus over the real sun in December. They
will start for their destinations In the month
of July, and spend the intervening time after
their arrival In diligent preparation for the
event.
The object of this great expenditure of time,
labor, money and brains is the hope that the
observers may determine with an accuracy
never before attained the earth distance from
the sun. For this is the unit Of celestial meas.
urement, and as long as the doubt concerning
its accuracy exists, so long there is doubt in the
estimate of celestial distances. But a cloudy
day Will render months of unremitting labor of
no avail 1t is estimated that the weather at
half the stations will be unfavorable, but q
great deal may be learned from the observa.
tions made at the other half, where the favor
able conditions prevail, according to the law
Of averages. The four southern stations OF the
French exp 1ition are in the south temperate
zone, and the 9Th of December will be near
their summer solstice, like the 9th of June at
the north. The localities favored with clear
sky on this meridian at the time OF the transit
will be specially fortunate, for the short win
ter days are not hopeful In their conditions.
A transit of Venus is not glorious phenome-
non like total solar eclipse. 1t Is simply the
passage Of q round black ball over the suns
bright face. But IL 10 visible all over our west
ern world, and nc human eye that now looks
upward to the stars will everlagain behold Its
recurrence. II is the last chance for trying

Cincinnati Enquirer, Nay 10Th.
Passengers by the steamer Maggie Harper
to. night bring information OF the thrilling
experience of young lady Of Madison, Ia,
or that vicinity, Miss Kittie Alling. Onsat-
urday last the Freshman class Of Hanover
College gave a picnic in grove between
Hanover and West Madison, aud late In the
afternoon, Miss Alling, accompanied by
Charley Swope, wandered off among the
rocks In the hills for the purpose OF gather
Ing wild flowers and hunting curiosities. Mr..
swope was aware of the danger in the cliffs
near them, and had repeatedly warned Miss
Alling to be cautious where she stepped; but
In an unguarded moment she thoughtiessly
went ahead, until she plunged over preci-
nice. and fell a distance of seventy. i've feet
down perpendicular line of ragged rocks.
She fortunately missed them all, landing 10
= pool Of mud, face foremost, where she lay
for several minutes, senseless and paralyzed
with fear. Mr.. Swope shouted to bis associ-
afes. who were some yards away, and as
quick a. possible help arrived, aud she was
.oulled out of the mud more dead than alive,
but, strange to say, no bones were broken.
Al last reports she was rapidly improving,
and would get we'll. The cliff over which
this young lady fell was measured and the
distance found TO be seyeniy-hye feet, and
her escape from death i Indeed miracle.

APoRTRAIT OF ANTHONY,
A Representative of New England That
Knows How To Dine.

Cath in Cincinnati Enlnircr.
"Yes," he said, "Antlory is curious SEN
ator. He hardly ever makes a speech on
any subject, but his fidelity and stability
max" him a safe counselor, while his dining
out with good fellows gives him an eplcur-
ian status. He was treated very badly by
Judge Davis"
"Indeed! Did the Judge treat people
badly?"
"WeIl, Anthony was the president of the
Senate pro TEN, and the Republican caucus
wanted to put him back there. but Davis
refused to vote for him, and the caucus
either bad to keep Bayerd in the place or
elect Davis. So Davis got it,"
"Well, between two place seekers there
could not be much choice"
"Well, Akthony is very good diner. He
is one of those placid feeders, always ready
with the napkin and knife and fork. He
gives such wholesome flavor to the table
when the wine Is to be opened; and then,
you know, that, like Lazarus, he has escaped
from the grave. He was taken with apo
plexy once through eating too many quails,
which had been feeding on Maryland laurel
In the snowy season, aud for some time 1t
was thought he would be a permanent pa
ralytic; but, Lord bless you! how be does
eat now He has eaten his way through four
full terms of the Senate, and is about to at
tack the fifth with his knife and fork"
"But," said I, ''can he out-eat JudgeDavis,
who shows such signs Of good living ?"
"oh, bless yoursoul," remarked my friend,
"Authony is one of those fellows who oper-
ate on food like aqvafortis. 1t just disap-
pears before him. He can almost repeat the
miracle Of looking on water and 1t turns
into wine. The man who can have him for
dinner and not open bottle of champagne
Is without the instincts of sociability."
"Well, what has he done TO put him back
into the Senate again ?"
.'Oh, he has stood there and voted among
the staiwarts, opposing changes In the inter-
est Of anything particular, kept the printing
records, and handled the paper bills. lie Is

WHAT AILS BEN HILL.
A Theory That 1t is Not Cancer After All.
atlanta Constitution.

atlanta Constitution.
As for the wound itself, the best opuiur
about # is as follows: The side of the face
is cut open and the sub-maxillary glands
are taken out. There is another incision ir
the chin. The jawbone, extending clear Ia
the chin, Is affected and must come out en-.
tirely before there can be relief from con.
slant pain or permanent cure. A piece oi
the bone and two teeth have already come
out. The vital question Is, what is the
cause at work on this bone? Some think il
is the result of injuries received during the
last operation. Others think 1t is necrosis,
or death Of the bone. Others still, that 1t Is
cancer. If 1t is the latter, 1t will seek other
parts of the system after it finishes the bone,
and recovery Is hopeless. 1t will strike q
vital part and the end must come. On the
other hand, II 1t Is the result of injury or is
necrosis, there is every reason to believe he
will recover. No one can tell what 1t is at
present, and until this is decided the final
result is uncertain.
MIR. Hill can walk about and handle him
self very well. He cannot eat solid food,
being unable TO chew, but eats beef chopped
very fine. He has not lost much flesh. He
does not talk very plainly, as his tongue in
healing has adhered to the lower part of the
mouth, and he cannot raise it from his teeth.
His mouth is usually kept full of absorbent
cotton, and the doctors urge him to talk as
little as possible. If 1t is necrosis that is at
lacking his jaw, secondary growth will fol-
low the death of the present bone, his
tongue can be clipped and his speech en-
tirely restored. Mr.. Hill has made an un-
mistakable gain in strength in the past
month, and In any event there will likely be
no decisive news from him in some consid-
erable time.
There is theory that has intelligent sup
port, and that Is this: That Mr.. Hill has
never had cancer at all-that his jawbone
source produced the sore on his tongue.
This theory gets confirmation from the fact
that the bone is now coming out. A dentist
living in North Carolina wrote that he had
many cases where the amalgam from tooth
-or rather the mercury in the amalgam, had
poisoned the nerves in the tooth, and finally
the bone itself. Mr.. Hill had several ANAL
gam plugs in the jaw that is affected. The
pieces Of bone that have come out of the jaw
will be submitted to the most careful exam
ination. OF course this is a mere theory,
bit 1t has intelligent support. All that the
public can do is to hope for the best.

She Could Make Pies
Chicago Tribune Norelist.

Chicago Tribune Nore,ist.
"Do you like pie? ?"
1t was in the summer that Gwendolen
Mahafy spoke these words to Ethelbert
Quirkson as they sauntered back from the
croquet ground to the house. Gwendolen
had hit her corn instead OF a croquet ball,
and as the blow fell there came TO her such
a desolate feeling of loneliness. such visit
full yearning to howl aud swear, that she had
looked into Ethelber's eyes with her own
dusky orbs and said, in low, musical words
whose every tone thrilled Ethelbert with a
sweet, rapturous, three -fifty-cents thrill,
that she really must 60 and help her dear
mamma 10 get supper-she loved SO dearly
TO help In all household matters that man,
ma had often said that whoever got her for
wife would never need to hire girl-and
merry laugh was trilled forth from be-
tween the wine-red lips that Ethelbert had
so often made up his mind to kiss, aud then
weakened when the time came.
He bent tenderly and lovingly over her
now, listening TO every word she said and
believing 1t all. Nothing could have shaken
his faith In the girlish innocence Of Gwen
dolen, and he loved her with a passionate
alteration that knew no bounds. To him
she was perfecton-whatever she did was
right, and whatever she said was his law and
gospel.
1t is even betting that he didn't know her
front hair was bang.
Reared amid the solitudes of st. Louis and
having only Nature for companion and
teacher, his child-like faith was not to be
wondered at.
"Yes, Gwennie, DEAR" he said, 81 am veiy
fond of pie."
"And do you love me as much to-day as
you did last Tuesday ?" she asked, changing
the subject in her impulsive, North Side
way.
"Better, far better, my darling" Ethelbert
replied, In tones that were tremulous with
tenderness. "My love for you will never
falter, never fade, but always be greater,
stronger aud more beautiful than before.
Into that love / have woven the best efforts
Of my life, and she TO whom 1t Is devoted
shall ever be the shrine at which my soul
shall worship"
Unfortunately there was nobody with
club in the vicinity. a...
81 can make pies" said Gwendolen, smil-
ing archly as she spoke.
"Can you, darling ?-this in low, earnest
tones.
"Why, Of course" responded the girl.
"Then," said Ethelbert calmly, but firmly,
sdont do 1t. Somebody that you liked
might accidentally eat one Of them"
