Transit of Venus and New Zealand.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis journal:
The current number of the Kansas City Re
view contains an article on ''The Transit of
Venus in New Zealand by astronomer Pritchett
of St Louis, who was member of the party
sent by our government to observe the late
transit in New Zealand I think many journal
readers would relish an account of the Profes
sor's experiences and, perhaps, also some ac-
count of the geography of that Southern cline,
which have compiled from other sources
Although year has passed since the last
transit of Venus, as yet no definite results have
been obtained from it regarding the suns actual
distance. 4 number of parties were sent from
different governments of the world to as many
places; and the great amount of data furnished
by all the expeditions. and the extreme care re-
CURED in working out each part. involves a
labor of such magnitude that years are required
to complete it. In both the late transits
1874 and 18S2--much reliance was placed
on obtaining photographs of the sun and Venus
during the transit. There were two methods of
doing this; one was the use of glass about four
feet focus, which gave an image of the sun about
half an inch diameter, which was to be enlarged
by secondary magnifer to four inches in diam
eter This form was adopted by the Europeans;
but Americans were afraid this secondary ar
rangement would spoil the accuracy of the pic
lures. So they constructed lenses Of forty feet
focus Which gave pictures direct of four inches
diameter without further enlargement. The re-
suit was that the latter method was quite a2aa-
BILE, and the former complete failure. Itsee1aS
that the Europeans did not learn, or realize our
success, and so abandoned photography and de
pended only on observations of contact in the
transit of 1882. "rhe Americans observed con
facts because it involved but little additional
cost and labor, but looked to photography for the
most valuable results"
The American telescope for photograp hing the
sun is placed horizontally in the meridian.
The object glass, five inches diameter
is in the south end, near which is Il plain mirror
moved by clock work, to reflect the suns image
through the glass and form four-inch picture
in the photograph room, forty feet north Of it.

A Diamond Sold for a TrifIe.



Great excitement exists in the village of Eagle.

stone After taking it to several other places,
she brought it back and sold it to Boynton.
Some weeks later Boynton took the stone with
him to Chicago and submitted it to an expert in
that city. The expert at once pronounced it
sixteen carat diamond, and worth $500. Boynton
brought the stone back and kept his own coun-
sci. He then. in company with w. f. Merrill,
of this city whom he let into the secret pur
chased all the land in the vicinity of the well in
which the diamond had been found. In the
meantime he has had an elegant gold watch and
chain made for the lady of whom he bought the
stone The brilliant was brought to light while
parties were cleaning out an old well. 1t being
rough and uncut shows that it not dropped
into the well by some one accidentally. Opera

The candidate of the three barrels-the money
barrel, the whisky barrel and the oil barrels
likely to be the Democratic candidate. He will
be strong candidate, too. 1t would be the
height of folly to underestimate his strength
Mr.. Payne is strong in what he has and in
what he has not. He has wealth and fair repu-
tation and he has not long and loaded record.
His nomination will hopelessy wreck from the
start the Democratic notion Of appealing to the
communistic hatred of great corporations; but
that will be piece of good luck for the party
Mr. Payne's relations with corporations and
moneyed men will give him kind of strength
that mere wealth did not give Mr.. Tilden the
railroad lawyer. and that no other Democratic
candidate for a long time has been able to com
mand in any degree. In short, the candidate of
three barrels has strength.
1t is best for the Republicans at the very out
set to realize that here is a candidate whose
nomination is possible. and from present appear
ances even probable, whom it will be no holiday
amusement to defeat A weak nomination or a
frivolous nomination will not defeat that par
ticular foe One or two men can be nominated
who will render the defeat of the Democrats,
with Mr. Payne, almost certainty. But great
many others are talked about, who would in all
probability be beaten by him.

The changes made in the Republican nomi-

as they now stand there can be no reasonable
couse for dissatisfaction, and every Republican

in office.
