With the exception of Mercury, which is
invisible the planets are grouped in pairs
during May. Saturn and Uranus are in the
east aud Jupiter and Neptune in the west
in the evening sky, while Venus and Mars
are in the east in the morning. Saturn is
in fine position for observation, being near
Spica, and with telescope the rings are plain
ly visible. Uranus is most favorablv situa-
ted for observation, as far as its nearness to
the earth is concerned but it is so far south
in the constellation Libra that it can only
be seen with telescope. Jupiter is disap-
pearing from prominence as he moves east
ward. He can he found in the northwest

Jupiter in his path across the heavens but,
as usual, he is invisible to the naked eve.

Nermont's school law may be interpreted
by the courts as a result of n town meeting
held at Alburgh last Saturday afternoon.
The town voted TO request the directors to
have a school i'll one of the districts. The
directors claimed they had an absolute right
TO determine where a school should or should
not be kept and that the town could not in
terfere with their decision, and one Of the
board gave notice Immediately after the
meeting adjourned that he should not re
spect the vote of the town or be bound by
their action. This appears to be an instance
where the officers have more power than the
town that elected them.

DOUBTFUL ABOUT THE DOUBT.

At a recent session prisoner was in

THE MECHANISM OF THOUGHT.

A person shuts his eyes of his own
free will. We take his hand, we cross
the forefnger and the middle one over
the other, and between them we slip
a little ivory ball. A singular illusion
Immediately arises. The person be-
ieves he feels two balls. And why?
No doubt because under ordinary cir
cumstances, when the fingers are
not crossed, one ball would not stimuli
taneously touch the right edge Of the
foreinger and the left edge of the
middle fnger-two balls being neces-
sary to produce double sensation.
Such is the experimental fact we all
possess in our memory without being
conscious of it.
By an artificial arrangement of the
fingers, one ball may produce these
two impressions, and the mind, not
taking into account this artificial dis
position of the fingers and interpret
ing the impressions by the ordinary
rules, arrives at the illusion of touch
which has just been described. Nothing
is simpler to bring about than this IL
fusion, because the sensory impress
siou from which it is derived may be
modified at will, without any necessi
ty of speaking to the subject under
experiment. Is it the same with an
idea? Evidently not. For in order to
communicate an idea one must speak

PROFESSIONS AND TRADES.

The very latest scientific view is
that we are turning out too many
book learned young fellows who want
to shine in letters, philosophy and
other learned professions when they
ought to be selling groceries or hoeing
potatoes. The editor of The Popular
Science Monthly says that "the truth
that college education and semi edu-
cation can be overdone is destined to
force itself, despite all that college
presidents can say to the contrary, on
public attention.
But if there be more room in the
grocery store aud potato field than in
the professionals brain labor is more
drug in the market than hand labor
how does it happen that the hand
workers have found it necessary with
in the past % years to organize in or
der that wages may not be reduced to
pittance? That the professions are
overcrowded goes without saying, but
they are no more SO than the trades
The crowding of one always reacts n
the other. Of course there is plenty
of room at the top, but not so much
as in days gone by, and if everybody
could climb there would soon be no
room even there.
The real difficulty, no doubt, is in
adjusting ourselves to the new condi
tions. Civilization has been devising
new ideas for saving the labor Of
brain and Drawn for years, and now
that it has succeeded in producing the
most marvellous results in both pro-
fessions and trades, with an equally
iture of human energy, the surprise
is turned into the curse of enforced
idleness rather than into the blessin g
of leisure
There would be enough work for all
in both trades and professions if the
hours of intellectual and physical toll
were reduced in proportion to its in
creased productive capacity.
People have gone up in balloons for
more than hundred years, since
Montgolfier, a Frenchman, first dem
onstrated that man might rise high in
the air. Going up in balloon, altho'
an exhilarating pastime and quite in
teresting, has always been a risky
business, in which many an adventur
er lost his life. Ballooning was of no
practical advantage to aerial naviga-
ton or the rapid transportation of
goods and passengers regularly from
place to place. Latterly the inventive
skill of many nations has been direct
ed toward solving this problem. These
new machines are not termed balloons
at all, but flying machines, which it is
hoped will in the future take the
place of land and water transporta-
ton for passengers and light goods.
Among these inventors is Hir am Max
i'm, who, in England, has already
his flying machine to work
successfully for short distance. An
