TWO LITTLE MOONS OF MARS.
One of Them Flies Round tho Plano
Three Times a Day.

One of Them Flies Round tho Plane
Three Times a Day.
Mr.. Percival Lowell announces that
the two moons Of Mars, Deimos and
Phobos, were observed at his observa-
tory at Flagstaff by A. e. Douglass on
September 10. This is the first view
of these minute bodies, during the pres
ent opposition; in fact, the date on
which they were actually seen prsoedes
by far more than a week the computed
time Of visibility as published In the
Nautical Almanac"
These little satellites, which are by
far the smallest celestial objects known
to us, were discovered by Prof. Asaph
Hall, of Washington, in August 1877,
being the result of a search for posi-
BILE satellites while the planet was In
a favorable position. According to the
suggestion of an Englishman MI. Ma
dan, the names Deimos and PhoDos
were given to them, these being the
names of the tabled charity horses OF
Mars. Deimos, the outer one, Is che
smaller, being, it is estimated, about
six miles in diameter. while Its COM
panion is slightly larger, some seven
miles in diameter, the entire surface OF
either of them being not more than the
area OF some Of the great farms in the
West.
The possibility Of seeing such small
objects so Greatea distance is a triumph
Of modern optics, they being observed
at a distance of more than 100000
miles. A home comparison would be
the seeing of a pinch ball at a dis
lance equal to that between Boston
and New York. On account Of their
small size they are visible only at op-
positions of Mars, being under favor
able conditions from the twelfth to he
thirteenth magnitude. Their distance
from their primary is 5000 and $4,000
miles respectively, the time Of revolu-
ton in their orbits being for the outer
one some thirty hours, and for the In
ncr one the surprisingly shOrt time OF
seven hours and a half. The rotation
of Mars about it's axis Is very nearly
equal to that of the earth, and this rap
i'd satellite accompiishes about revolu-
tons for every Martain day. 1t is,
therefore, always getting ahead II Its
primary, and Is seen to rise in the west
and set in the east, passing on Its way
the other satellite, which conducts itself
according to the conventional ideas
of well regulated satellites. The rapid
ity of the phases of Phobos Is also re-
markable. 1t being less than two hours
from new to first quarter and so on so
that, as viewed from Mars, 1t would
PASS from new to full and from full to
new again in a single night.
The discovery Of the satellites has
been Of value to astronomers In anoth'
er matter. The mass Of Mars, or In
other words Its attractive influence In
the solar system, had never been &C.
curately determined. a matter Of not
very great Importance, however, since
it's disturbing influence was not very
great. With the satellites as assistants
however, the problem has been attack

the mass of Mars has been mata-

'The Influence of Music on Man, Ami

rector Asger Hamerik in his lecture at
the Peabody conservatory yesterday af-

But for Some Time After He Could
Not Bear the, Ticking of a Watch.
A well-known physician recently told
the following story. to an Indianapolis
Sentinel reporter: "a prominent Mar
ion County farmer discovered that he
was gradually getting deaf. He could
not hear the hired man blast stuEips
with giant powder. He came to my
Office and made signs that he wanted
his ears examined. I examined them
and in an instant almost found that
his defective hearing was caused by the
gathering of a waXy substance in his
ears. When 1 removed this obstruc-
ton of the hearing l was surprised at
the result. The old gentleman jumped
from the chair where he had been seat
ed and put both hands to his ears. He
couldn't stand the noise from the street
and the least sound startled him. He
was one Of the most pleased men l
ever saw. He went away and it was
several weeks before / saw him again.
He called at my Office with his wife
and she did all the talking. She hard
ly raised her voice above a whisper
and every now and hen she looked at
her husband in a timid way. She said
She said that for several days he would
not allow the least bit of noise in the
house and that he butchered some pigs
before their time IN account of being
affected by their squat. His daug1ter
and her husband had lived with them
for two years and they had to leave
on account of the crying of their g.
months-old baby. There were two
clocks in the house, one in the dining
room and one in the bedroom. These
he stopped on account of their ticking.
The clock in the bedroom was an alarm
clock. 1t went off one night. He jump
ed from bed and nearly broke his neck
by falling head first OH the floor. The
woman said she had to keep the house
as quiet as a graveyard for more than
two weeks, as it was that long before
her husband became accustomed to
hearing. His daughter however, has
gone back to the farm with her baby,
and the clocks have been started
again"
