country.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE return of con-
fldence and the revival of business and
the Industries throughout the land is
certainly gratifying to all whether
there are differences of opinion us to
the real causes; whether they are
natural and the direct result of the out
come of the recent election, or whether
they are largely forced and artificial.
One thing is certain, thousands who
have before been idle are now finding
employment; factories and mills that
have been running upon reduced time
ere now compelled to run full time and
in some cases over time to fill the rush
of orders; establishments that had en-
tirely suspended operations are once
more active, and business houses, freed
from the dread of uncertainty that has
so long paralyzed trade. have with con-
fidence begun to extend the borders of
their business world, giving large or
ders for goods and planning for sea-
son of activity and prosperity.

oolNo TO MEXICO.
Lowell Observatory Being Removed from
Flagataff, A. T.

ssoesssAAs
Flagstaff, A. T., Nov. 11.-The Lowell
astronomical observatory, which was
established here in 1894 for the study
of the planets, especially Mars, is in
process of removal to the City of Mex
leo. The lenses Of the great telescope
hare been removed and the machine is
being taken down to be shipped in few
days. The object in going south is to
secure good seeing during the winter
months and the experts who have
studied the question say this can be OBJ
tanned in the Mexican plateau, which
lies within the tropics and has an ele-
walton of about 5000 feet above the sea
level. The Mexican government is
keenly alive to the importance of this
scientific expedition and President Diaz
has not only welcomed the American
astronomers but has instructed the ma
tional observatory to furnish every pos
sible aid to them in their work. 1t is
said that the expedition will prove the
most important scientific enterprise of
this century.
DIR. t. j. J. See and Mr.. Cogshall have
used the new telescope Oh the southern
double stars and it is announced that
new stellar systems, besides measuring
100 stars recognized by previous OBJ
SENATORS. In Mexico, DR.. See will con-
tinue his sweeps for new double stars,
and in this more southern latitude op-
portunity for new discoveries will be
especially good. No importantly work on
the double stars of the southern heavens
has been done since the survey of Sir
John Herschel, 60 years ago. The plan
is to sweep over the whole unknown re-
gion of the sky about the south pole and
it is believed that hundreds of new twin
stars will be found.
The observatory was in active opera
ton here during 1894 and 1895, and
many hundreds Of fine drawings were
made of Mars, the results showing that
our neighboring planet is covered with
an extensive system of canals, arranged
in artificial manner as if the work of
intelligent beings. Prof. Lowell and
Mr.. Drew have worked on Mercury and
Venus during the daytime. In the
clear air of the afternoon these planets
have shown conspicuous workings and
the astronomers have been able not
merely to make maps of their surfaces,
but to prove conclusively that the bod
les rotate only in the course of a revolu-
ton about the sun. One face of tho
planet is therefore turned towards the
sun and heated to an immense tenn
perature, while the other is wrapped In
everlasting night. The markings down
by Lowell have settled the question of
the rotation of Mercury and Venus,
which had been partially studied by
Schiaparilli some years ago.

that they are more thoughtful and de-
liberate. 1t is great honor, indeed, when
q personal success is identified with
great national triumph. The issues forced
to the front by the Chicago platform
put the fight on such lines that the re-
publican party could use the old breast
works and make an unfailing appeal to
the patriotism Of the south as well as the
north. l sincerely hope that you may
be given the wisdom and strength needed
in this emergency to restore and establish
the prosperity of the nation"

The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-07-22

No place this side of heaven is more
conducive to happiness than home. When
mankind was in innocence and purity,
paradise was his home; since his fall by
sin, home is mans paradise on earth.
How the happiness of this earthly par
adise is enlarged by the coming of those
who are of paradisical purity, and how
the Joy is enhanced by their development
as they begin to look up into the faces of
their parents and say papa" and''mam-
ma" and in short time they express
their ideas in other words, all of which
is of the most intense interest to the
fond parents.
Then it is that we look into the future
calculate the years, plan for comforts
and necessities, and the parental heart
thrills with joyful anticipation in the
contemplation of the place in the world
which the loved one will some time sue
cessfully occupy.
But strange prOvidences often await
us. True is the proverb, MAN proposes,
but God dispOses." By the Intervention
of a great many things, and especially OF
death, all our plans are thwarted and OuI
fondest anticipatiOns are undermined.
We try in vain to solve the problem
Why was it our loved one? Why was il
not some poor waif, some street urchir
who has no home, with no one to low
himp
| In vain we question man, earth or sky
But hold There is yet left us on
more source. Can Revelation afford an,
comfortp Let us see: "FOr we know
that all things work together for good t
them that love God"
What! Can this be true? Can the los
Of our loved ones be for good? Truly
we know by this same word that they ar
safe; but where is the good to us? Nov
the words come, "0nly believe; be nc
afraid"
Then from the depths Of our wOunde
hearts we cry, Lord l believe; help tho
: mine unbelief." Soon it seems as if tt
e skies are opening, and within our bein
into our very souls-there falls a peac
that is unspeakable, and we have the a
u surance that "He is able to keep tn
J. that we have committed unto hi
y against that day."
u But what have we committed un
Him? Our time and talents, OurselV
and friends, and our loved ones-all
er His committal.
