and the question has been earnestly
discussed in the meantime by our cit
izens on the streets and in public
places. On Monday the discussion
was ended by the submission of the
question to vote of the I'r"pie under
the ordinance passed hy the council.
Two propositions were submitted, the
first. " Tax for Water Wurks," which

Thus it will be seen that the people
of Ravenna have by most decisive
vote of more than two to one declared
themselves in favor of the const ructiOn
OF water works by the town, and the
vote is so emphatic that the city eoun-
ell will not only feel authorized but
required to take the necessary steps TO
carry out the will of the people thus
clearly expressed.

The Air and The Telescope.

The air we breathe is in truth the
worst enemy of the astronomers OBJ
servations 1t is their enemy i'll two
ways Part of the light which brings
its wonderful, evanescent messages
across inconceivable depths of space, it
stops: and when it does not stop, it
skaters And this even when it is most
transparent and seemingly still; when
mist-veils are withdrawn, and no
clouds curtain the sky. Moreover, the
evil grows with the power of the instru-
ment. Atmospheric troubles are mag
nified neither more nor less than the
objects viewed across them. Thus,
Lord Rosse's giant reflector possesses

5000: that is to say it can reduce the
apporent distances softheheavenly bodies
to one six-thousandth of their actual
amount. The moon, for example,
which is separated from the earth sur
face by an interval of about two hun
lred and thirty-fOur thousand miles,
is shown as if removed only thirty-nine
miles. Unfortunately, however. in
theory only. Professor Newcomb com.
