Astronomical Progress.

The progress of the study of astron.
Omy has developed what may be
deemed substantially new science.
Ihe astronomers of the past were ab.
sorbed in the observation Of the mo-
lions OF the heavenly spheres, and their
achievements were essentially math.
ematioal They had but little sym-
pathy with their brethren who studied
the face of the moon and counted the
spots on the sun. The physical and
and descriptive astronomy of the day
Is marvellous expansion oftSe earlier
methods OF dealing with a fascinating
yet mysterious science. With the aid
OF the speetrosoope the constitution and
physical condition of the most distant
star is laid bare; by its help we are
enabled to discover motions which defy
the measurement of tho most delicate
mathematical instrument, aud can tell

ing or Teeeding. Celestial photography
not only portrays the outlines and
markings OF nearer bodies, but, owing
to the sensitiveness of the chemical
plate to rays which the eye does not
appreciate, it il even possible to photo
graph objects so faint as to be alto
gether beyond the power Of any teles-
cope to reveal. We may thus event
ually learn whether a blank space 10

stellar universe in that direction, or
whether other mysterious worlds roll
and shine beyond, veiled in the obsCur.
ity of immeasurable distance. But
with all these valuable adiuncts, the
telescope still remains the instrument
OF primary Importance to the astrono-
mer. Without Y telescope Of sufficient
power TO gather the rays SO that they .
can be caught in the Photographic
camera or analysed by the spectroscope
these accessories would be shorn of
much of their value. The measure of
growth attained by modern teleseopes
is colossal, and there ia promise of still
larger instrumenta. Certain mechani-
cal difaculties, however, in the mani
pulation of these monster tubes aud
the movement of the monumental
domes containing them would stand in
the way of any great increase of aper-

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS.
Caused by Carelessness.


The majority of people die sooner than
they should. Evidence Of this fact is grow
ing daily. Waring says; Disease is not a
consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living neglect, abuse, want" 4"
Dr. Stephen Smith, on the same subject.
Man Is born to health and long life dis
ease Is unnatural, death, except from old
age is accidental, and both are DreventabIe
by human agencies" This is almost invari-
ably true of death resulting from healt dis
ease. Careless over-exertion. intemnerate
use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
stimulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and indifference to its proeress re-
suits in sudden death, or long sickness end
ing III death. By the newspapers it can la
seen that many prominent and hundreds Of
persons in private life die from heart dis
ease every day.
