cars this time on the edge of the sign Virgo.
in 1872 81 loBg,tu In 1877 it occurred on
the edge of the sign Pisces in 3470 81 of lon
gitude.
Stated unscientifcally the rings OF Saturn
close MP, as seen from the earth, twice in
about thirty years. They are most open at
the midw way intervals. Thus in 1S49 the
rings closed up, in 1855 they were widely
open, in 1862 they closed up again. in 1869
they were again widely open, in 1877 they
closed up. in 1885 they were widely open
under exceptionally favorable conditions,
in 1892 they close up again.
The motion of the earth plays this peculiar
feature In the disappearance OF Saturn'S
rings that the times when the edge Of the
ring is turned toward it do not accurately
CORRESPOND to those when it is turned TO-
ward the sun, and the points of Saturn's
orbit in which this may occur range over
space of several degrees. The most interest
ing times for viewing the rings with power
full telescopes are on those rare occasions
" hen the sun shines on one side Of the ring,
while the dark side is directed toward the
earth.
On these occasions the plane Of the ring,
if extended out far enough, would pass be-
tween the sun and the earth. IL happened
between February 9th and March !, 1878,
but, unfortunately, at that time the earth
and Saturn were on opposite sides OF the

twelve years past, because the ring being
turned nearly edgewse toward the earth
and sun ceases to reflect light over space
sufficient to render it visible in ordinary in
strumentS.
To convey the idea exactly, plate 100
yards wide and one inch thick might be a
very insignificant object at distance of 1900
yards if held edgewise. In the case of Sat
urn, the earth and the sun there are three
factors at work, and when the planet Sat-
urn is in such a position that its ring is
turned nearly edgewise to the earth there
may be as many as three disappearances of
the ring. Ordinarily there are two. Such
diSa pearances of Saturn's ring, oddly
enough, exactly coincide with the ep0chs
when the lanet Mars approaches nearest
TO the earth, and is seen at its greatest
brilliancy, as in 1880, 1915. 1862 1877 and 1892
Saturn will for one year to come-that Is
to say, after Mars has excited the enthusiasm
of astronomers in the last days of July in
the coming year by his fiery rays in the far
southern sky-Saturn will. it is repeated,

less, except for few days before and after

SATURN'S RING.
1t Has Practically Disappeared
for a Year.
There Are Few Telescopes, Except That of the
Lick Observatory, Which Will Reveal
1t Till 1885,

Quite recently the small telescopes Of
three to six inches aperture which were
turned on the planet Saturn by amateur as
tronumers revealed the fact that the ring
was rapidly closing up and that it was be-
coming harder and harder TO see even in the
beginning Of August.
just now the planet is in direct line
with the earth and sun and on the sunny
side; it is in fact just about as hard to see
as disk of copper held behind an electric
light, supposing the light to be exactly mid
way between the observer and the object.
In one months time Saturn will have come
into view in the morning sky, but observers
will look in vain for the ring. Saturn will
appear much smaller and paler than for

sun, so that the planet was nearly lost In
the suns rays, and could oe observed only
low down in the west after sunset. In the
present case of 1891, The position is almost
equally unfavorable, as it is only in the
early mornings OF the latter part of October
that the observation can be made just after
Saturn has risen. 1t will not be till 1907
that such observations can be made.
1t is an interesting association of the dis
appearance of the rings of Saturn, as seen
from the earth, that sneh periods afford ex-
ceptional opportunities for Seerg the inner
satellites, which are ordinarily either
eclipsed by the ring or masked by its brill
fancy. Five of the Saturnian satellites
were discovered at the time of the disap-
pearance of the ring, or at least on the occa-
sions during which 1t assumed the form of a
luminous line.
1t was on August %. 1889. that Sir William
HerSchel thus perceived for the first time
revealed to mortal eyes six satellites at once,
These were the satellite Titan, discovered
by Huyghens during the passage of the
earth through the nodes OF the ring in 1855 {;
the Eastman satellites OF 16T1-1672; the two
other Eastman satellites of 1854, and the
sixth. now known as Encelarus, shortly
followed by the discovery Of q seventh,
Mimas, a month later.
1t is inferabie therefore, that If the ex-
ceptionally powerful and well-defining in
struments of to-day are TO discover any ad-
ditional satellites circulating around Saturn,
or to convey any fresh information about
worth while TO repeat that in any but the
finest telescopes in the world Saturn will,
for one year, short of few days, appear
without ring at all.

The Dairy Farm Entertainment.

On Monday evening last, not long
after the twinkling stars began to peep
through very clear sky and just late
enough to escape the heat of the first
day of summer, a number of Captain
McCaughrin's friends went over by
twos to the Innisfallen Dairy Farm,
and in that delightful retreat spent a
few hours that will long and pleasantly
linger in the memories of the entire as
sembly. Having formed at the resi-
dence of DR.. James Mcintosh, the COM
pany, with its chaperoDes, marched to
the farm. The infantry, it is needless to
say, walked; and the cavalry, Of course,
rode, or rather, drove. Captain Nc
Caughrin, however, was neither taken
by surprise nor caught mapping.
Heralds haC heen sent several hours in
advance to inform him that no hostile
intentions were meant by the attack.
So the gates were wide-open; lights
glimmered in nearly every window;
lanterns swung across the broad prom
enades, and the very eyergreens them
selves, that lead up to the house, nod
ded most cordial welcome.
The programme was as varied as it
was charming. On so delightful an
evening and among such enchanting
surroundings there was, of course,
dancing and music. Those features
added to talking, promenading, in
spectig the home and grounds of a
young bachelor, star gazing and last,
but by no means least, partaking of an
excellent spread-including some of
the choice products of Inrisfallen-I
made the hours glide swiftly by. Every
body voted that the occasion was a
most delightful one and the host of the
farm "a jolly good fellow.n

"The SunbeainS.

A very interesting exercise was held
in the Newberry Baptist church on last
Sunday afternoon just at the close of
the Sunday-school This church has
what is known as a Sunbeam Society,
composed Of members of the Sunday
school, and they have occasionally
these pleasant exercises. Atthe close Of
the Sunday-school exercises the super
intendent gave way to the Sunbeams,
and Miss Nellie McFall and Mis-
Kate Neil, as president and secretary,
respectively, took charge of the meet
ing, and very interesting programme
was carried out. The roll was called
and the handing Of the mite barrels
was the first and very important part
of the programme. This society,
during the year 1890, a. ppears from
the report, contributed $500 10 mission
ary work. Lucius Blanton, John
Boozer and Thos~Pope took up the
collection.
Interesting and we'll rendered read
ings were given by Azile Pool, "Are
Missions Failure?" and Hartwell Blan-
ton, "Work of the Sunbeams."
Proper notice was taken Of the letter
to the Sunbeams from Rev. H. P. Nc
Cormick, missionary to Mexico.
The exercises were very interesting
and entertaining throughout and the
little ones show an interest and zeal IN
their work which is commendable.

Mrs. c. Mower.

The A. R. Presbyterian of last week,
in speaking of the death of Mrs. Now
er, says editorially:
The death of Mrs. mower, announced
below, will be sincerely and deeply
lamented. She made her influence felt
for good in the church and community.
Her character was strong and decided.
She had the courage and resolution
born of earnest conviction. If she was
self-reliant it was because she knew
from early experience what it was to
struggle with poverty. She lived to
enjoy the comfort and independence of
a large income from the accum ulations
of years-enjoyed it, not in selfish
qualification but in works of Christian
benevolence. She was generous helper
of every good cause. 1t was her gift
which gave the name to the duane
MowerScholarship" in Erskine College.
She will be greatly missed in Newberry.
Mr.. Geo. S. Mower, Treasurer Of Frs
kline College, was her only child.

Newberry Is Growing.

Newberry is not on a boom, but she
is building up steadily and surely, and
it is a growth that is substantial. Du-
ring the past year and a half there
have been no less than twenty new
dwelling houses built in Newberry and
several more are to go up soon. Then
several citizens have added materially
to the'appearance of their residences
by repairs and Improvements of vari-
Gus kinds. In these buildings and re-
pairs no less q sum than $50, 900 has
been expended.
During that time the Oil Mill has
been built and cotton ware house for
the Newberry Cotton Mills, at cost of
some Sl2,00 more.
Work has also been commenced on
the Graded School building ard when
it is completed sore S!5,00G more will
have been expended III buildings.
This shows 4 growth that IS encour-
aging. And in the residences built
most Of them are homes built by their
owners and not for tenant houses TO he
rented. If we can get population in
our town of home owners so much the
better. They then have double in-
terest in the town and its prosperity.
