The Solar Parallax j..

In the last number of the SiGerecl
Messenger, An officially authorized
statement is made of the personnel
OF the Transit of Venus parties of
1882, the number Of observations
made by each, and the number of
photographs taken Of the sun with
the planet projected on the disc.
These photographs have all to be
systematically measured with the
utmost micrometric precision in
order to determine the distance and
direction of the centre of the plan
cts image from the centre Of the
sums disc. The percentage Of mea-
surable photographs of the different
parties averages eighty; except in
one case, where the whole mum Der
can be measured. The summation
Of the work gives the following; fig
ures for the north and south hemis-
phere parties: Whole number Of
plates exposed, 1,70o; number; Of
plates that can be measured, 1882 !;
observations of the first contact, ia ;
of the second, II; of the third, II,
and OF the fourth II. : 81. J.
And as the question is frequently
asked "When shall We get result
from this work ?" we make the fol-
lowing extract: "Up to the present
time the computers have read all
measurable photographs obtained at
Washington, Cedar Keys and San
Antonio, and are now engaged on
the Cerro RoElero, n. M ;, negatives.
Considerable progress has also been
made in the reductions based
upon these measurements. 1t
is believed that the solar paral-
lax yielded by the transits of
Venus of 1874 and 1882 must depend
principally upon the photographs;
and when it is remembered that
only 221 measurable photographs
were obtained in 1874, the remark

December when 1882 were OBJ.

foreseen delay occurs, probably the

in all the ostentation Of gfided LETT
tering and all the wealth of Russia
leather So the home possesses
within itself an intrinsic merit
which all the klitter of wealth
should not outshine. - ~
The possession Of home gives a
man an interest in the public well
fare which otherwise he might not
feel. He knows now that all pub
lie measures will effect him in one
way or another, and unless thoce
measures are wise, he will have to
bear the consequence at least in
part. Selfish motives, if no others,
will induce him to look into public
affairs, and once 10 terested in the
pubic, he will begin to comprehend
that what is for the general good of
all, will also be attended with adj
vantage to himself, and thus he will
be taught to take broader view OF
things than before. Of so much
importance was this interest in the
public welfare considered in the
time of Solcn that s. punishment
was inflicted upon those that would
not attend 30 their voting and other
duties required of them by tie
State.
A home thoroughly appreciated
will lead man to the cultivation
Of his better and higher nature. No
nook OF corner OF the house, no
'quare foot OF ground but will be
susceptible of some Improvement or
Ornamentatlon, and No matter how
imperfectly his taste may be de-
velOped, even though it be in em>
bryo, it gets that exercise and
training that is necessary to
its successful growth. But as
the home sentiment does not consist
merely in those outW ard forms,
which indeed are only the express
sion of the promptings of the inner
man, so, likewise, his attention will
be turned within upon himself, and
here he will find abundant oppor>
tunity for the cultivation of those
higher faculties Of mind and nobler
virtues. In short, it is the home
sentiment that makes the man a
human being, and not the intellec-
tual faculties, which only make
him an animal of higher order.
The home thus endeared to us we
could not willingly let 60 from our
possession, and made sacred to our
children by so many hallowed recol-
lections, Will be held by them as
priceless treasure. But the posses
sion of a dwellipg>house and
small garden is not recommended
as panacea for all the ills OF pov.
erty-stricken humanity; l. must be
taken only for what it is worth, and
that is, when properly considered,
great deal. Here we have made
right beginning, and il we can but
give to home that value that it
merits, our children will continue
the course we have begun, and
though. as a consequence, we may
have fewer palaces, yet we will be
more than compensated by the ab-
sence of so many novels and rock
cries, and more OF our citizsns will
occupy that middle station in which,
as all philosophers tell US, the
greatest sum of happiness is to be
found.

persistently used, but without avail. The
symptoms were growing worse and these
remedies were more than useless. BY
