MOTION OF THE STARS.
Some Interesting Facts About The Stellar
System.

The Pleiades are visibly group.
Throughout ancient history they were
represented as seven stars, wanting one.
In our own day that small square of sky
space over which this cluster of half q
dozen is scattered has been found to be
occupied by many more than 1000 suns.
The distance OF the group from US is esti-
mated as at least fifteen hundred millions
of millions of miles, and it is calculated that
Alcyone, the chief Of its stars. must thou
sand times excel our own sun in brilliancy.
Now in regard to this gnodly company
there is evidence that the majority have an
apparent motion in common. But that
which is true of most of this wonderful
crowd of worlds is not true of all the in
dividuals that at first sight seem to belong
to it. A few are found TO lag behind, while
two at least hurry on in advance of the gen.
eral progress. These set, then, do not
in fact belong to the cluster. but. being
situated far beyond or far in 'front.' take
their places in the same apparent plane
only through the effect of perspective.
The question may naturally be asked,
What can produce this appearance of
in tile stars before and behind 1t? 1t must
be produced by reality of motion some
where, either on the part of the stars them
selves or else Of another star, the sun with
which we are ourselves Identified, or else on
the part of both combined. 1t Is obvious
that, if our solar system is in motion, the
other solar systems of the sky are likely to
be in motion also. and vice versa Thus
we might expect that the apparent move
ments referred to would be mixed result,
and this is found to be the case. The dis
placements Of the stars are analyzed into
what is called "the motus parallactcus,
optically transferred to the whole stellar
multitude from the single real motion of
the sun, and the motus peculiaris, belonging
to each individual star"
Slowly, as slowness is counted in celestial
things, our sun is moving toward such and
such point in the heavens. The inference
Is drawn from the fact that thousands of
variously situated stars are found to have a
drift in the opposite direction. But this
drift does not account for the whole of their
movements, and when that part of the
movement which Is common to all has been
subtracted the residuum, in whatever direc-
tion il may happen to be for each, is set to
the account of the stars own Progression

Fouquier Tinville's Agents.

In the prison of Luxembourg one of Fou
quier Tinyille's agents could only make up
seventeen convicts out of the list of eighteen
which had been given him. 81 want one
more," he said. He asked the first suspect
who passed by his name, and on hearing ii
cried, Yes. it is you." He had him carried
off, and the next day he was guillotined. On
another occasion a warder called out the
name of an aged prisoner. A lad who was
playing at ball in the gallery mistook the
name for his own, and asked if he was
wanted. Yes," was the answer, "come
along" and the next day the boy was gull
lotined instead of the man. At Bordeaux a
boy of 16 named Mellet was guilloti ned
instead of an old man OF 80 named Bellay.
On objecting, he was told he was eighty
years old in wickedness.
Dupanmier, Administrator of Police at
Paris, could not read. Coming one day into
cell he found prisoner reading. What
are you doing?" he said. ''You see am
reading" was the reply. "You must not
answer so. What are you reading?" The
prisoner presented the book, but Dupaumier
would not ayow his ignorance. "You are
insolent; answer me. Il am reading Mon
taigne.' '.Ah. since you are reading the

arrived at st. James Park, the street was

royal family were to pass through the gate.

through the gates and out to the highway,

LEGAL COMPLICATION.

A Lawsuit That Is Very Much Mixed and
Troublesome. rI1
If the besetting sin of the Singhalese is
their inordinate love of litigation, this GER
tainly is fostered by their very troublesome
law of inheritance, which results in sucn
minute subdivisions of property that the
one hundred and ninety-ninth share of a
field. or the fiftieth of a small garden Com
tanning, perhaps, dozen palms and few
plantains), becomes fruitful source of le-
gal contention, of quarrels and of crime.
Emerson Tenant mentions case in which
the claim was for the TWO thousand 1--WE
hundred and twentieth share in the produce
Of ten cocoa palms.
To illustrate this sort of litigation. the
Rev. X. Spence Hardy quoted an intricate
claim on disputed property. in which the
case OF the plaintiff was as follows: "By in
heritance through my father l am entitled
to one-fourth of one-third OF one-elghth.
Through my mother l am further entitled
to one-fourth of one-third of one-eighth.
BY purchase from one set of coheirs | am
entitled to one ninety-ninth; from another
set also one ninety-ninth; and from third
one nlnety-ninth more. Finally, from a
fourth set OF coheirs l have purchased one

his English admirers have placed in the

the grave of Dickens, and that the floor

The chair which has been used since the
time of William the First for the coronation
OF England's kings ana queens is not par
ticularly imposing. Under the seat is the
famous stone for which tha chair was
made. Undoubtedly the shabbiness and
ugliness of the chair is hidden by drapery
when 1T has been necessary to use it. Other
wise it would dim the luster of even the
crown jewels. The second chair was ordered
for the coronation of William and Mary,
and is said to have been used but the once.

What William II has demonstrated by his
action during the past three years is, not
that the continental monarchies are stronger.
but that the continental peoples have ceased
to be jealous of strong monarch. They do
not consider his birtb a disqualification.
They are perfectly content that he should
lead them. if ne will lead them whittier
they want to go. Indeed, they rather
prefer him to any other leader because
as he Is not elected. none of them,
in submitting themselves, have SUI
fered any defeat. but they insist
that the kings, ike premiers, shall take
their general cue from themselves and not
from the impulses of their own minds, and
that is the very essence not of royalism,
whether new or old, but of modern demo-
racy, which, in Europe, at least, is not now
solieitous so much about its agents as about
the general execution of itS will. Let Will
lam ii. try to reign for objects his people
dislike--for general policy of aggrandiZe-
ment, for example, or for a policy of oh
scurantism-and we shall soon be able to
judge how much he has rebuilt the personal
authority of the throne.-rhe Saturday Re-

The Isle of Thanet-the Island of the Fire
Beacons-once completely disconnected
from Kent, but now wholly reclaimed,
forms the northeastermost projection of
that historic county of England. 1t is only
nine miles in length, and in most parts but
five miles in breadth; bnt there is probably
not in all England, and, for that matter, in
the whole world, a bit of land so valuable
for its agricultural possibilities. nor so COM
pletely a garden of delight for the millions
TO which it is accessible in summer.
Its situation is very bleak and open,
from its extraordinary extent, through
countless cOves Of sea front on the north,
where it is washed by the Thames estuary,
and on tie east where it is lashed by
the ever restless tides of the Straits of
Dover and the North Sea; but every
square rood on which ancient ruin, historic
fortress or gay resort do not stand is under
the highest known state of cultivation. The
reasons for thisare: All Kent is London's
truck garden; Thanet Isle is every season
actually covered by a coat of alga, or sea-
weed, obtainable by the farmers at only the
expense of carriage; there are no hedges,
which in some parts of England destroy so
much produce, and the subSoil is chalk,
which acts in vet weather as a sponge, and
in droughts supplies the land with moisture,

exhalation, which gave rise to the ancient

The republican administration so sell

purpose; it so rarely happens that its
action as confessed is not a mere pre-
text for hiding some object it is afraid

a pleasure to find it trying to keep
American merchants from paying their
debts abroad in order that it may keep
at home the gold they would otherwise
use to satisfy their creditors and meet
their obligations.
There is no Interior purpose here.
