I'd THE MOONS OF MARS.
CULVER Heard About Them From
the Astronomers of Laputa.


New York Times.
1t is curious fact that the two moons
of Mars, discovered in 1877 by Prof.
Hall, of the Washington observatory.
were spoken of 165 years ago. In 1877
Jonathan Swift published the travels of
the famous Lemuel CULVER. The hero
Journeyed to the Island of Laputa.
The astronomers of that country
were more advanced than those of the
other parts of the world during Guilt
ver's time. They gave the traveller
some of the results of their observation.
The following relating to the subject
is the most Interesting. the quotation
being from Mr.. Gulliver's Voyage to
Laputa." chapter ILL.,:
They THAT is, the astronomers of La
puta), have likewise discovered two
lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve
around Mars, whereof the innermost is
distant from the center of the primary
planet exactly three of his diametcrS.
and the outermost, five; the former re-
wolves in the space of ten hours, and the
latter III twenty-one and half.
Now, the diameter of Mars is over
1000 miles, making, therefore, accord
ing to the astronomer of Laputa, the
distance Of the innermoSt moon from
tHS COntcI VI Tic ptdiict IO DS ABOUT
1900 miles, and that of the outer 10000
miles. Comparing this statement with
the result OF observation made On the
satellites since their discovery in 1877,
there is a resemblance in the figures
worth noticing. According to the inves-
LEGATIONS following the discovery, PhG-
bus, which is the satellite nearer to
Mars, is about 6,00e miles from the CEN
ter of the planet, and its revolution
is accomplished in seven hours and
thirty-eight minutes, making it 5000
miles nearer the planet, and its revoIu-
ton only two hours and twenty-five
minutes less than the one described to
Mr.. Gulliver. Dermos, which is the
outer satellite. revolves in about thirty
hours, eight and one-half hours more
than the outer one known oIhe astrono-
merS of LapGta.
The fact of Mr.. CULVER being in
formed of the existence of Just two
moons and the confirmation of this
statement by later discovery, as we'll as
the similarity OF the figures of their re-
spective revolutions, is striking coin
cidence.

Discrepancies Between the Two
Statements.

| Discrepancies Between the Two
Statements.
Mrs. Amos Johnson, superintendent OF
the Woman's Christian Home, publishes
a statement in the Express, showing the
| amount of good done, as well as money
| received and disbnrSed since her assump-
ton of the management OF that institu-
tton. The LIGHT Of last Thursday pub
lished some facts concerning the dis
bursements OF the money received at the
recent benefit at the Grand Opera
house and Mrs. JohnSon's sta tement
simply corroborated the assertion then
made, that the monies received were not
properly disbursed, and that all the
young ladies who were supposed to be
working for charity, received either
valuable prizes or money considerations
for their work.
Mrs. johnson in a statement given TO a
reporter for the LIGHT, stated that the
gross receipts of the benefit rendered at
the Grand amounted to S43s.O5 In the
Express she gives another statement OF
the disposition made OF this money. But
in this statement. Mrs. johnson only ac-
counts for 1895. so. This includes s30.50 for
unaccounted tickets. So, there is a
plain deficit in Mrs. Johnson's, account in
the Express, and that TO the LIGHT OF
S43.5 So. What has become of the money?
Mrs. johnson admits having received it
OUT Sne QOeS not account lOF III.
There is another item in Mrs. Johnson's
account hat upholds the claims OF the
LIGHT. that so far as the workers were
concerned, there was but little charity.
That is payment for four uShers rs cents
each, $500: door keeper Sl.00. The ushers
were all young girls who were supposed
to volunteer their services. There were
more than four of them. Why then did
four receive seventy-tive cents
each for their services, while
the others received nothing; could
no they and the doorkeeper donate their
services for a charitable cause. The
pianist, a stranger in this city, and a man
of family, cheerfully gave his services
gratis, when asked, and he certainly did
considerable more work than all the
ushers and doorkeeper. There were many
young ladies or young men who would
have done the work for nothing, as the
benefit was advertised for charity.
70 sum up, Mrs. Johnson's statement,
in the Express, simply ~substantiates the
LIGHT'S claim that the whole affair was
1t shows hat but $685. in
cash was received, while $40. so was unac-
counted for in tickets, $50 given away in
prizes, 500 presented to the ushers and
doorkeeper, while s+3.5 in money still re- |
mains unaceounted for. This makes it
plain enough, that had every one worked
for the Woman'S Christian Home, as they
to have been doing. the inStitu-
ton would have been better off TO the
amount of Sl2S.O5. This is according to
Mrs. JOhnson's W figures, and can east
y be verified by the account in the morn
ng paper.
