The MEMBERS of the Baltimore Society Of
Amateur Astronomers have received a dispatch
from Prof. Richie at the Harvard observatory,
denoting change in the crater Pliny of the
moon. This remnant of a volcano is one of the
many crags and peaks distinguishable through
an opera glass, fed glass or telescope. The
entire surface of the moon is broken up by
walled plains, in the center of each of which
rises strai ght mound. Crater Pliny is one of
the best known of these, and is in the north
west quadrant of the moon. a Baltimore
astronomer said that he thought that mistake
had been made in regard to the discovery, as
the satellite is believed to be dead, and no
change can take place on it's surface. He said
that it was possible that the professor who
thought he had made discovery, had been
msled by the different prominences on the sur
face being Illuminated at different angles and
thus presenting different aspect
SOME YEARS AGO ago one of the present con-
gressmen from New York state and his brother
were examining the stock of pawnshop in
London with the hope of picking I'D some
curlOSties. They came across q necklace of
green glass beads, which the New York man
purchased for 81. so, intending to bring ii home
to his little daughter. The brother was sur
prised TO find in the shop counterpart of this
necklace which he brought home to his little
girl. Two months later the latter showed her
gift to q jeweer, who pronounced the glass
beads to be emeraids and who sold them after
ward for several thousand collars. The mem
Der of congress, upon hearing this, took his
necklace 10 the sam edealer, who pronounced it
to be composed of glass beads. The London
pawn dealer had purchased them of a thief
who had stolen them from a wealthy woman
The latter kept che emeralds in a SAFE and wore
their glass counterparts OF course no one
could tell the difference when the necklace en-
