ance of a cap of ice, the spots being mora pronounced near the south pole. In 1868 MT. Browning saw bright patch of some
 extent, eighty degrees from the southern
 cusp, so luminous as to show projections like
 the snow on Mars. NM. Bouquet and Arago
 have recently reported to the Academy of
 Sciences in Paris the results of their exami-
 nation of the photographs taken by the
 French expeditions during the last transit of
 Venus. Several protuberances were plainly
 visible on the photographs. Trouvelot the prince of observers in this department-for since 1878 he has observed two white spots Venus 242 times and made 12O drawings of then-thinks that one of these protu ber- ances is the identical polar spot observed by him in 1878, shortly bsfore the inferior con junction of Venus, a spot seen by him on several occasions. The latest observation of which we have seen a record made in this country by Mir. Guldenschub, of Koch ester, N. Y, on the 17th of last August. He was observing the planet, then at her pe- riod of greatest brilliancy, with a silvered glass rejecting telescope. He saw clearly defined in profile on the terminator of the sembling the polar spots on Mars.
 It is to be hoped that when Venus comes again into favorable conditions these tele- scopic observations may be confirmed and that the question may be definitely settled We may then believe that the poles of fair neighbor, well as those of the earth and Mars, are surrounded by heaped up masses of ice and snow. The time will doubtless come when greatly improved tele- scopes will reveal mere plainly the now shadowy features of the planet How in- teresting will then be the study of the earth's sole companion in size in the whole system! Whatever secrets may be revealed by the telescope to future star-gazers Ve- nus will be to the unaided eye, long time endures, the most lovely of all the stars that stud the Armament, a never-fail- Ing source of admiration either

The snowy Poles of Venus.


 It is not improbable that some of our ca gIe-eyed observers have actually seen the snow cap surrounding the poles of our fair celestial neighbor. Ever since the invention of the telescope Venus has been a favorlte object for telescopic observation. But the most beautiful of all the planets to the naked eye is source of disappointment to the tele- scopic observer on account of her dazzling brightness.
 Students of the stars untralned in the art of observation, even when using powerful instruments, must not be discouraged ii they discern nothing but the beautiful phases of the planet, varying like those of the moon, and a slightly uneven or indented terminator or convex edge of the bright crescent. The eve must be educated for objects celestial, the practice must be patient and oft repeated before the fascinating planet will deign to reveal the delicate shadings, the dusky patches, the bright spots, the dark shadows, and the blunted and pointed cusps that form the medium of communication between the earth and her twin sister.
 But the difficulties in the way have not de- tered many of the best observers, whose names stand high on astronomical records, from making the closest scrutiny of the planets disk. The result of their labors was for many years the occasion of much contro- yersy on account of the exceeding indlst1nct- ness of the views obtained. The light of better day is now dawning, especially owing to the continuous and indefatigable study ot the planet for the last few years. The time of the rotation of Venus is approximately known to be nearly the same as that of the 1 aarth the non-existence of a satellite is con sidered settled question, there is proba- bility that we catch occasional glimpses of her mountains, continents and seas, while there is reason to hope that the proof of ex- | isting ice caps will be confirmed, thus show ing the position of her poles.
 Astronomers have long been looking fol these ice bound circles on the planets disk, although her intense lustre and vicinity to the source of heat seems to veto the exist | ence of cold and ice. We pass by many ob | servations of bright spots seen, or supposed l to be seen, in the seventeenth and eighteenth | centuries, for their existence has been sub l feet of doubt and discussion. In the pres ent century, especially within the last few years, we come upon more reliable observa 1 tions. |! he observers of the present century | may not be superior to those of the past, bu | their instruments are better, and the science | of astronomy has made rapid progress II | these later days.

A proselytizing campaign is being carried on by the Russian clergy of the German provinces of the empire. The system pur- sued is one of bribes and promises, not of pains and penalties. A magnificent church of orthodox rite has just been consecrated at Riga in presence of the procurator of the holy synod and several other dignitaries, and the papers of St. Petersburg ascribed to it all the importance of great historical event. The Czar, out of his own purse, has endowed the new church with 6O0,O ,OOO roubles, and the pictures which adorn it were presented by tie St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts.
 The Hartford Courant calls attention to the fact that the savings banks of this State have more money than they know what to do with and says: And yet, though the statutes have been altered to make it permis- sible, the managers cannot be brought to see the advisability of grading their dividends and of treating the rich to 8 less share of profits, approximately, than the poor de- positors. It is quite the custom in New
 York. You read there the notices of divi- dends by savings banks and find always that
 sums of $500 or 1000 will be paid at a
 greater rate than larger deposits, and that above certain sum, in some banks above s, ,OOO, no interest is paid. Rules of this sort prevent the too rapid accumulation of funds and tend to conservatism and to keep the banks, what they were created to be, places for saving, not for making money, the refuge of the poor and thrifty rather than the trustees for people of means.

A peculiar law to promote the purity of elections nas been 1nJrUuuCeu Une nIIcnl- gan legislature. It is in reality the Austra- lian election law, with some notifications. It provides, in the first place, that voting papers shall be supplied by the public au- thorities at public cost, and that only those so furnished shall be lawful. The special prescription is that voting papers for provin- cial elections shall be provided by the province, for county elections by the county, and for city and village elections by each city and village, and that the voting-pa of these three classes, in the order indicated, shall be printed on white, blue and red pa. per- The names of all candidates in each class shall be printed on one paper, and any person named by an assembly of citizens, and holding certificate to this effect, shall be entitled to have his name on the voting paper. The Michigan bill also says that, in addition to the name, ''the occupation and politics. of each candidate shall appear on the voting-paper-a superfuous and, for a number of reasons, objectionable proposi- tion. The voting papers shall be ':bound in blocks of four hundred each,'' that being the maximum number of cleo tors allowable in a single voting precinct. The block, or book, of voting papers shall be in the keeping of an inspector of the election, who shall deliver to each elector one voting paper, first writing his own name on the back of it. Thus, every voting paper actually delivered by an elector will be at tested by the signature of an election inspector on the back of it. Upon receiving his vot- ing paper the elector will designate his can didate or candidates for whom he votes by placing a cross (X) in the blank space left fer that purpose at the right of each name. Then folding the paper, he will deliver it to one of the inspectors, who shall deposit it in the urn.
