The Triumph of Lick Observa-
tory.

Barnard, of the Lick Observa-
tory, has startled the world with
the announcement of the discovery
of fifth satellite to Jupiter, very
small and very close to the planet.
The distance is given as about
$4,000 miles from the planets
center, or $4,000 from its surface,
and the period as very nearly II
hours. 1t is reported as of the
thirteenth magnitude; that is, it
appears as bright as thirteenth
magnitude star would appear at
the same distance from the disk of
the planet. There are very few
existing telescopes which can
reach it, as the planet is so bright
that the surrounding glare renders
such an object vastly more difficult
to see, even when the planets disk
is hidden, than if it were by itself
in the sky. AS yet the observa-
tions published are hardly suffl-
cient to remove all uncertainty;
but there is every probability that
| the discovery is genuine, and if so,
it is one of which American astro-
nomy may well be proud. 1t could
hardly have been made anywhere
else than at our mountain observa-
tory, and with telescope less pow
erful than the great instrument
which is the chef d'euvre OF our
own greatest optician, or by an
observer less keen-eyed and per-
sistent than Barnard himself. 1t
is possible that when the orbit OF
the satellite is well determined, so
that we know just when and where
to look, we may be able to see 1t
with all telescopes that exceed two
| feet in diameter bu0 IL Is l.heiy
that the only confirmation OF the
Lick observations will come from
the great thirty-inch telescopes al

NEW ATLANTIC CABLE.
The Submarine Line Between
Africa and South America.

Africa and SOutH Amei"'
A cable that is to be laid between
Senegal and Pernambuco has been
shipped from England, and is now
ON its way to the African coast In
the British steamship Silvertown.
It was constructed by the Telegraph
Works Company of London, and a
number of recent inventions have
been used in it's construction.
There have been many improve
ments in cable-making since the
first Atlantic line was laid, thirty,
four years ago, by Cyrus W. Field
and his associates. The cable to
run between Senegal and Africa
and Pernambuco in Brazil was
taken aboard coiled up in three
tanks and ready for paying out at
the bow end of the vessel, not at
the stern, as was formerly the Gus
tom. The cable is of varying thick
ness, ranging from two and a quar-.
ter tons per knot to four and nan
tons. according to the depth OF the
water in which it is to be LAID,
while the shore ends weigh about
fifteen tons per knot. At Senegal
the shore end is to be covered by
hut. and there left in charge OF an
electrical engineer, who will be
in communication day and
night with the cable-bearing
ship. Signals will be exchanged
every five minutes during the wnole l
operation of laying the cable to
Brazil. In the deep sea the caoie
will be paid out at the rapid m ratt
of ten knots an hour, though large
allowance must be made for stop
pages through impediments thou
sand fathoms deep. According t.
the engineer in charge, the line VII
be laid and the Silvertown back il
England before the end OF tn
month of July. Aboard tn
steamer there is large staff {,
engineers and assistants, who wor
in four-hour shifts and then hav
