.PERsPIRE- TRANsPIRE-R. o., Sacramento,
Cal. According TO the best works on synonyms
perspire and trapspire are not the precise
equivalents. of each other. DR.. Peter Mark
Roget, in his well-known Tnesaurus OF English
words and phrases, classes perspiration and
sweating under the head of egress (motiOn out
of and under the head of excretion. TranspiTe
is classed under the head OF Importation. The
word does not appear under the head Of sweat.
Soue and other writer's OF works on synonyms
give perspire as the equivalent OF sweat, While
transpire Is given as the equivalent OF eVapor-
ate (thrOngh The pores). eXhale, and pass Oh in
Vapor. The Century Dictionary. the latest
published revision of English words and their
meaning, following IN the lines OF die die
this definition OF perspirs: To evacuate
the fluids OF the body through the excretories
of the skin by the cuiicular pores-sweat;

used to signify escape from secrecy and ooZe.

JUPITER's FIFTH MooN-E. B. H., City. If
Jupiters fifth moon revolyed in exactly IL
hours it would be 80 degrees, 43 minutes aud
3S seconds or the amount Of its angular ve-
locity in one hour, behind its position on the
previous evening. The most recent c0mpu-
tations give II hours 81 minutes and %
seconds as its time OF revolution, and II seen
from the center of Jupiter uhe ideal position for
observatory 1t would be 80 degrees behind.
On the surface OF Jupiter, however, the effect
of parallax would be TO dsplace il further to 4
distance equal to the value in miles of The chord
OF 80 degrees. On Jupiter's surface this is
about 21.50O miles, aud this amount seen at
the distance OF Tie fifth moon from Jupiter
would be somewhat over 10 degrees angular
measure. consequently on the surface of
Jupiter 1t would be seemingly 40 degrees and a
| few minutes OF an arc behind. In this calcula-
| lion only one hours angular velocity is allowed
instead of TWO, in the position of Jupiters fifth
| moon if viewed from the planet on successive
| evenings. While 80 degrees 43 minutes and
| 98 seconds is correct for IL hours with a
| paralax of IL degrees more, the distance to
| which it would fall behind with period OF IL
| hours 81 minutes and % seconds would be 60
| degrees with paral.aX OF 20 degrees more,
| making the angular distance at which IL would
| be left behind when viewed from the surface
| about 80 degrees. This answer is furnished by
| Miss Rose OHall0ran, a California astronomer
who has attracted the attention OF scientists in
| all parts of the United States.
| HE GOLD RESERvE-H. B. fH., Campbell,
| Fresno County, Cal. When Grover Cleveland
was inaugurated President on the 4.h OF
March, 1893, there. was IN the United States
treasury $768, 81 1896. The gold reserve OF
| $100,000,00O was intact. The remarkable
withdrawal of gold commenced in November,
1892. Early In February it looked as if the
| S100.000,O00 gold reserve would have to be
drawn upon. but the banks OF the Clearing
house Association OF New York City, which
held some $S0.000,000 in gold. advanced
100000 to The treasury. with the under
standing that when the borrowed gold and the
gold over and above the reserve for redemption
was exhausted treasury bonds should be sold.
Up 10 the time Harrison retired from Office this
contingency did not arise. In April. 1893, for
the first time since The resumption of specie
paymen in 1879 the gold reserve fell below
The S100,000,000 limit, ana on the 18th of
April, for the first time, IL became necessary 10
stop The issue Of gold certificates. On the 9Th
of June the reserve fell as low as $50, 287, 1858.
| On August 2, by the advent OF gold from
| Europe, Mexico and the West indies. the gold
| reserve rose TO S100791 1873, but before the
close of the month 10 fell again TO $50, 009, 1913,
and during September there was a further de-
| cline OF s., 426 951. Tho decrease OF the gold
reserve during the last quarter OF 1898 was
Sl2,690,572. On December 81 the free gold
| reserve was S8O,S91, 500. These are the fig
| ures for 1898.
