Among other products Boswell sold 500
bushels Of ripe tomatoes and AN inn

The whole twenty acres is under Gull

planted TO pieplant and two acres to

the fact that the flow is very much less

The Ring OF saturn Made TO Of innu.

Prof James a. Keller. Of the Allie
gheny observatory has made the inn
portant astronomical discovery. which
for the first time Is positively demon
stratod. that the ring Of Saturn ia
made up Of innumerable small bodies
Of satellites. and that they do not re-
volvc at the same rate OF speed about
the planet Prof Kecler has obtained
direct proof Of this by means Of the
spectroscope. BY a wcll known prin-
ciDle a line in the spectrum Of heay-
emily body Is displaced toward the vio-
let Of the body In approaching the
earth. and toward the red II the body
is rcceding. n the image Of Saturn
formed by telescope Is brought upon
the slit Of a spectroscope and kept ac-
curately In position for a sufficient
length Of time. about two hours tho
apectra OF the planet and the two oppo-
site sides Of the ring can be separately
photographed on the same plate. The
motions OF the different parts Of Sat
urn can then be determined from the
displacements OF the lines. From such
photographs taken by Prof Koelcr II
has been found that the inner edge Of
the ring moves faster than the outer
edge. as It must II the ring ia made mp
Of small satellites. II the ring revolycd
whole the outer edge would move fast
or than the inner edge. The motions
OF tho different parts OF the ring In
miles per second can only be given
after the photographs have been ac-
curately measured under the micro
scope. This will be done by Prof
Keller as soon az possible.
