Before leaving he requested THE

had always been favorable to the

with its present list of officials were
endorsed by him. For business
reasons, however, he could never
think it advisable to express these
opinions openly. His leaving the
country would not lessen his aloha

Statistics of the receipts and prices
of cattle at Chicago, Omaha, st. Louis
and Kansas City during the months of
January, February and March, 1894, and
1895, show that the total receipts at the
four points named were 150,361 head less
during the first three months of this
year than they were during the same
months last year. The average price of
live cattle for the first three months of
1895 was $4.S5 per hundred and the top
price $500, while in 1894 the average
price was $410 and the top price $685..
The shortage in receipts and difference
in prices are becoming more marked
every day.

saturn.s Ring.

If Professor Keller, Of Pittsburg, has pos
itively demonstrated and established the
fact that the ring of Saturn is composed
of innumerable small satellites, he has
achieved a notable feat in astronomical
discovery. The theory that the ring is so
composed is not new entirely but it has
never been fully verified. Prof. Keeler's pro-
cess of reasoning is not only scientific but
exceedingly ingenious, and it seems likely
that he has solved an astronomical problem
of long standing.
The ring of Saturn is itself one of the
strangest mysteries of astronomy Why
Saturn alone of all the planets of the solar
system should have ring is incompre-
hensible. Jupiter, which is more than three
times as large as Saturn. has no ring.
and all the smaller planets get along with
out one, Saturn alone being supplied with
the exceptional and apparently useless APP
pendage. The ring consists of three APP
parent rings lying in one plane and Of
different degrees of density. The inner
edge of the ring is $500 miles from the
planet itself and its total diameter is IT,
500 miles. 1t was first discovered in 1869 and
has been more or less subject of specuia-
ton and observation by astronomers ever
since It was at first assumed to be solid.
but that theory was abandoned. Then the
accepted theory for long time WAS that
