A NcU Belt on Saturp.-At a recent
meeting of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety, MI. lanyard read a note on a
narrow telt which he had seen on the
planet Saturn. He said that he believ-
ed narrow belts similar to those seen
upon Jupiter were very rare. There
were many observations Of broad belts
of a bluish-brown color upon the ball
of the planet; put he was not aware of
any other observation Of a sharply de-
fined narrow belt. While observing
the planet on the evening Of November
a., with an IL inch silver on glass retlec-
tor, he noticed a narrow dark belt
which stretched across the disk, and at
moments of good definition could be
seen to fade away toward either limb;
but he thought that the decrease In IN
tenslty was not as marked as in the
case of similar belts upon Jupiter. The
color Of the belt was q dark blue gray,
strikingly different from the reddish
brown of the belts upon Jupiter. On
the 4th of November it was a striking
object, nearly as easily q as the Cas-
SIM division on the ring, though not SO
dark. He estimated its breadth as not
double the breadth of the Cassinl divis-
ion, where it is seen broadcast In the
ansae. The belt was again Dol on the
18th Of November, but was not then 80
conspicuous, and the definition was not
so good as onthe 4th. On the 21st he
saw it again, and 1t was also seen by
MI. Hopkins, who observed it with
him. lie had tried to find whether any
other persons had it, and found that
DR.. Copeland had on the 9th Of No
vember seen a dark belt, which he de-
scribed as In about twenty degrees
south latitude, sharp toward the equa-
tor, and shading of toward the pole.
He estimated its breadth at about twice
that of the great division in the ring.
1t should be remarked that taking ten
and a quarter hours as the rotation
period of the planet. the opposite side
of the ball would have been turned to-
ward the earth at the time Of DR.. Cope
lands observation as compared with
Mr.. Ranyard's observations of the 4th
and 18th.

that many Of our most prudent and
careful housekeepers are, without
knowing it, using these deleterious
articles daily. and from them prepar-
Ing for their families food which,
were they aware of its nature, they
would not offer to a beggar. Baking
powders made from burnt alum cost
less than four cents pound. When
these can be worked oft in place of
the Royal Baking Powder. and sold
for forty or fifty cents pound, there
are many manufacturers and dealers
sufficiently INSCRIPTIONS to do it.
A favorite method of selling these
poisonous sllm baking powders is by
placing them in an empty Royal Bak-
ing Powder can and weighing them
ont in small quantities when the
RoJa Baking Powder is called for
by customers. The grocer. IL ques-
toned, claims thst he buys in large
packages at a lower rate, and is thus
able to sell below the price of the
goods in small cans. All baking
powders sold in this way arc entitled
to suspicion. Analyses of many OF
them have been made with view to
prosecution, and in all cases they
have been found largely adultcrated
and generally made from poisonous
burnt alum. This is selling counter.

to know that the Royal Baking Pow

in hand, and arc acting in way
that will protect the pnblic from the

The surest protection from this
fraud is for the housekeeper to buy

sealed with the companY's trade

package stamped on the'cover. Any

Consumers should bear these facts
in mind If they do not wish to have
