The cOurtship between New York and
Brooklyn for municipal union cools in
ardor. Brooklyn never received with
warmth, nor with more than liberation,
the advances Of New York for a union
of the two cities. Now New York has
become less demonstrative since the
election, which showed but q nominal
majority in Brooklyn favorable to an
nexatiOn, and is inclined to break off
negotiations. The Legislature has to
enact law providing for consOlida-
ton, and the present GOODNESS between
the two principal cities in the Greater
New York; scheme is likely to end in
an open quarrel In throwing off,
on Brooklyn, New York declares that
it will go ahead with the consolidation
program, including the remaining mu-
inequalities. But this would give New
York but about 100000 more than it's
present population, or, say, a total Of
100000. With Brooklyn added the
total population would be 100000. If
consolidation should not include Brook
Ign it would only postpone for a couple
of years the date at which Chicago will
be ahead of New York in the number
of inhabitants.

Time and Speed.

Infinite time is difficult to grasp.
Distance is more easily understood.
and some things which Sir Robert
Ball has to say about the distance of
the stars from us will assist us in COM
pairing them to the sun. OF these the
most striking is Arcturus, and DIR. Ell
kin has put this star at such a distance
from the solar system that the orbit
of the earth round the sun must seem
from Arcturus as large rs penny piece
would, seen at a hundred miles, Arc
turus, in other words, is perhaps a
dozen times as far off from us as Pro-
cyOn is, and Procyon, one of the near
est bright stars, is a million times
the distance of the sun from us.
But the marvellous thing about Arc
turus is it's movement, a very distinct
proper motion" across the sky, though
not as large as some stars. Lately,
however, the spectrOscope has ascer-
tanned for us the pace of stars along
the line Of sight, and Arcturus travels.
it is now believed, at the rate of $50
miles second. Such speed as this is
truly terrific, and we may we'll ask
where this furious star is hurrying to.
AS Arcturus, ten generations hence,
will not have moved to the eye by as
much as the diameter of the moon, we
shall have plenty of opportunity of
discussing the questionable Spec
tator.

will be one fare for the round trip,

Hereafter that portion of the tariff
work which has been done in Chicago
will be done in the general Offices of tho

will necessitate the removal of a num-
Der of Chicago employees in that de-
partment to Topeka. This change is
announced for February 1.
