Astronomical Forecast for Novem-

-
For those who love the silent majesty
OF the "star lit night" the November
skies will possess more than usual in
terest. Besides the advantages of the
clear and homogeneous atmosphere
usual at this season, four of the most
interesting planets may be seen in
their most favorable positions for
observations, n a host Of bright con-
stellations of fixed stars will elicit our
admiration and study. On the
ing of Nov. 9Th the planet Mercury
will attain its greatest eastern elonga-
ton, and for several days before and
after that date, a sharp eye may catch
glimpses OF this shy member OF the
solar system n few degrees above the
western horizon at dusk, a little to
the south of the suns track. The
extreme southern ~declinatiOn OF Mer-
curry at this. season and its position in
tae orbit will render the planet visible
for only u few days. Mercury shines
with a bright, white light as a star of
the first magnitude, and in our latitude
it may be easily seen il the observer
knows just when and where to look,
but many astronomers of Southern
Europe have expressed regret at not
being able to see it in all their lives.
VENUS.
The highest star in the west at dusk
is the planet Venus, now moving
almost directly towards us at tho rate
of twenty-five miles per second. In
the telescope Venus now appears like
u half moon, and while the visible disk
will become more and more crescent
as 1T approaches us, its apparent
brilliancy will continue to increase by
reason of its proximity till about five
weeks before its inferior conjunction.
Venus will be almost stationary this
month, moving eastward very slowly
till December 9th. 1t will be remem-
bered hat the ancient Greeks gave
two names to this planet. When
evening t they called it Hesperus,
and when morning star, Phosphorus.
They considered each q separate star.
Venus is 1000 miles in diameter, and
revoles around the sun in 225 days.
MARS.
Mars is now morning star, and
almost on the opposite side of the sun
from us, hence it cannot be observed
with satisfaction for several months
yet.
p
On the 18th this Titan OF the solar
system comes to it's opposition, and
hence at that time it is nearest to us,
aud in the best position for observa-
ton. 1t may now be seen in the cast
dG . CioCh, DlaTluS Will SplcnuOT,
just below the Pleiades in the con
stellation Taurus. Jupiter is nearly
fourteen hundred times as large as our
earth, and is attended by five moons,
four of which may be easily seen in a
small telescope. 1t revolves around
the sun in about twelve years, and
rotates on it's axis in about ten hours.
The telescope shows it's disk to be
traversed by parallel belts resembling
clouds, thought indeed to be clouds
formed by the congestive currents of
it's atmosphere. There is good reason
for thinking that the great mass Of the
i~ncandescent. 1t is most probable.
then, that Jupiter is inhabited, but it
seems TO be in a preparatory stage,
which, in the ages to come, may
render it a vast theatre Of vital ac-
tivity.

Road IMPROVEMENT regard the
movement for good roads as one OF the
most important Of social reforms. 1t
has in it great material benefit to the
people generally and to tho agricul-
tural interests Of the country particu-
larry. In the East especially we have
reached a stage Of development where
u network of smooth highways is
essential to prosperity and growth.
Our cities and villages must be brought
into closer contact with the farms. In
many sections the limit of communica-
ton by railway and canal has been
reached, and dependence must be now
upon goods roads. To the residents
OF the farms, to the merchants in the
towns, to the canals, to the railroads.
to the large army of employees. to the
consumers in the cities, in short to all
interests and citizens, the close com
munication of farm and city is most
desirable for business and commercial
reasons alone. Good substantial roads
leading out to the rural towns from
the principal business community in
each county cannot help stimulating
business In that community and de.
veloping the country round about$it.
But beyond all this they are as adj
vantageous in elevating the social and
intellectual life of the rural population
as they are in improving it's material
condition.-Governor Flower, of New
York, in North American Review.

WHAT is SEIGNIORAGE?
A Bit or Information that Very Few
People Have Learned.

Strictly speaking, seigniorage is the
charge made by any national govern
ment for coming bullion on private ac-
count. 1t usually takes the form of q
certain percentage, fixed by law and
deducted from the metal brought to
the mint.
In other words, when an individual
brings to a government mint a quanti-
ty of one of the precious metals to be
coined on his private account, he will
receive a weight of coins equal to the
weight of pure metal brought, less the
percentage deducted as compensation
to the government for its services and
incidental expenses Of coinage, and
plus the weight Of the alloy.
AT the present time the United
States government makes no charge
for coming gold, and does not receive
silver, copper or nickle for coinage on
private account. Therefore the term
se~igniorage is not strictly applicable to
any transaction that takes place in
connection with Federal minis.
However, as used in current discus
sions of the silver question, the term
is taken to mean the nominal profit
mado by the government on its pur-
chases Of silver and the coinage of the
same. TO illustrate The present
market price of silver is almost exactly
10 cents an ounce, while its coinage
value" is precisely $1.29 an ounce SO
that IN every ounce of silver bought
and coined there is an apparent profit
50 cents. For reasons that have
more than once carefully ex-
planned, this profit il rather apparent
than real, seeing that the coinage
value" is rather technical than actual.
When it is proposed to coin the
silver now in the Treasury
the meaning of the proposition is that
all the silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman act, not already coined
and over and above the amount that
would be needed to furnish standard |
silver dollars to match each dollar
represented by Treasury notes issued
under the law, shall be coined into
standard dollars.

HAD FULL INSTRUCTIoNS.-The late
William j. Gibbons, of Wilmington,
Delaware, was known in his day for a
number Of things, and not the least of
these was his great fondness for u joke.
He was president of a company having
considerable trade with the Amazon
and other South American rivers.
Part of their work was the building of
boats for these rivers, called in the
language Of the shop L" knock-downs,"
that is, boats set up in the yard of the
company and bolted together in shape,
and then ttaken down, packed aboar
sailing vessels, and shipped to their
destination, where they were put to-
gether finally and for good. On one
occasion this operation was performed
according to programme, and the
captain of the schooner hat was to
Jake the boat was about receiving his
final orders. Among these was an or
der not on the regular programme, to
stop at q certain wharf near the mouth
of the Christiana Creek, and take
aboard about two tons of dynamite.
The captain was u little disturbed when
he learned the nature Of this diversion,
and said
well, I don't know, Mr.. Gibbons,
about the Internal stuff. What will
VIC do if it should go off !"
Quick as thought came the answer

an arduous search they were overtaken

to capture them, but finally the pur-
