Saturns's Rings.

0utuA Az ANAhyH
ISince the discovery of Juriter's
fifth satellite, nearly three years ago,
the labors of astromemers, although
unceasing, have resulted in nothing SO
significant until very recently. Sat
urn's ring has always been popularity
thought as sort of mystery, in spite of
Clerke Maxwelfs prize essay publish
ed in 1859, in which his mathematical
proofs were conclusive that it consists
of multitude of small bodies revolv.
ing around the planet in circular or
bits. Certainly there is nothing else
like it in the solar system, if, indeed jim
the universe, and Prof. Keller, of the
Allegheny Observatory, has just pub
lished very interesting paper, in
which he demonstrates by widely
different method, that of the spectre
scope, the meteoric constitution OF
Saturn's rings. Mathematical inves-
tigation has shown that a solid or
fluid ring could not exist under the
circumstances in which the actual
ring is placed To distinguish be-
tween the two hypothesis, that the
ring is rigid body, and that it is a
swarm of satellites, it is necessary to
find method OF great delicacY by
which TO bring the question within
the province of the spectroscope. The
relative velocity of different parts of
the ring would essentially differ un-
der each condition. If the ring ro-
tated as whole, the velocity of the
outer edge would exceed that of the
inner; but if the ring is an aggregate
of revolving satellites, the speed
would be the greatest at the inner
edge. The inclination of lines in the
spectra or the ansae would be revers-
ed in the respective cases, If, again,
the ring rotates as whole, the dis
placement of lines in its spectrum
would follow the same laws for a ro-
tating sphere. But the lines now act
ually photographed by Prof. Keller
successfully in these experiments
prove conclusively that the velocity
of the inner edge Of the ring exceeds
that of the outer, and that the rela-
tive velocities at different parts satisfy
Kepler's third law. Everything per-
tanning to the magnificent system OF
Saturn is of great interest, and the
actual aspect of the lines in Prot
Keeler's photographs is in exact &C
cordance with that required by the
theory that the rings are composed OF
swarm of meteoric bodies. or small

Secretary Gresham's Portrait.

f fine life ize portrait in oil of the
late Secretary Gresham was hung in the
dipIom attic room at the State Depart
mept Saturday. Ir is the work of Chi
cago a list, Frank M. Pebbles, and the
likeness is very pronounced.
Tie late Secretary is portrayed in an
easy sitting position, jest turning from
his work, at desk in the diplomatic
room His left arm rests on the desk top
ant his right drops upon his knee. The
great hrown eyes which were the most
striking feature of Secretary Gresham's
countenance, are painted with marvel
o1s fidelity to nature.
The picture was hung on the west wall
between portraits of Thomas Jefferson
and Wm Seward, in place made by the
removal of Daniel Websters portrait to
the east wall alongside of Lord Ashbur-
ton. Mr.. Pebbles began this picture in
the spring of 1894, and the last sitting
was had only two weeks before Secretary
Gresham's last illness.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. z.
"There is one place where the proposed
prize fight between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons could be pulled off without any
interference - said a Chief Of Division
in the General Land office to-day. "The
place which have in mind is within
the United States and is within easy
railroad communication with the rest of
the country. do not think, however,
that it has been thought of in this con-
nection There is a small strip of terri
tory situated between the States of
Louisiana and Arkansas over which
neither one of these States has ever
claimed or exercised jurisdiction. The
exact location of the boundary line has
never been settled. The State of Ar
kansas claims that its boundary line
passes through a certain point, while the
State of Louisiana claims that its limit is
located about half mile south of the
line which the State of Arkansas has
accepted.
''As a result there is a strip of land
there which has never been controlled by
either State This particular stretch
commences about six miles east of the
Red river and extends six miles further
east, so that there is strip about six
miles long and half mile wide over
which neither State claims jurisdiction
and it is probable that if some spot in it
were selected for pulling off the Oorbett-
Fitzsimmons prize fight there would be
no interference from the Federal Gov
ernment or from the authorities of the
contiguous States A survey was made
a few months ago by the General Land
Office, but the line which was then es-
tablished has never been accepted by
the States, so that the dispute remains
unsettled
whenever there have been any
crimes committed in that locality in the
past no punishment has resulted and the
perpetrators have escaped justice, for the
reason that neither S ate has taken any
action in the matter. Before this line
was established numerous petitions were
received from persons residing in that To-
cality asking that government survey
be made and line run, because of the
fact that crime and lawlessness were un-
hampered there. AS have said neither
the State Of Arkansas on the north nor
the State of Louisiana on the south, has
seen fit TO claim jurisdiction over this
stretch of land, and it would probably
be well for the promoters of the pro-
posed mill to look into the matter and
examine the possibilities for pulling off
the fight in that locality"
The present situation of affairs in con-
neetion with the much advertised Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons fight undoubtedly
marks the beginning Of the end of prize |
fighting for small fortunes. The great |
sport made so famous and popular the |
world over by John L. Sullivan has |
reached stage Of decline that leaves
little hope for its ever regaining its foot
hold again in this country.
