ancient astronomers have suspected
that while his attention was fixed on a
supposed s-ar whose place he was so
carefully measuring, he was just on the
very brink of discovery which would
have rendered his name famous
throughout the ages. The records
which these astronomers have left, pos
seSS, however, great Importance for
our present purpose, because we are
able by their aid to learn the track
along which the planet was moving
during the century which preceded its
discovery. Thus the study Of these
early Investigations permits US to learn
the exact position occupied by Uranus
years before attention had been direct
ed to it by the achievements of Her
schel.
If the planet were permitted to pur-
sue its movements without the inter
ference of any external forces, so that
it was guided solely by the supreme
central attraction of the sun, then the
orbit of the planet would be invariable.
Each revolution would be performed
along the same ellipse precisely as that
which was traversed during the pre-
ceding revolution. When the highway
which Uranus was following at the
time of its discovery and for years
subsequent thereto, was compared with
the track which the same planet was
pursuing in those earlier years before
Herschel'S time when it was unWtt-
tingy observed by preceding astrono-
mers, it was found that the two tracks
did not agree. No doubt the differences
were but small between the actual DO
sition in which Uranus was found by
the early observers, and the positions
ga ii has
observations would have assigned to
the planet. But they were quite large
enough to be unlnistakaiole when we re-
member how accurately the determi-
nations Of positions can be effected in
our obServatorieS. 1t was therefore
clear that there must be some other
influence upon the planet Uranus, be-
sides that which was due TO the su-
preqne controlling attraction OF the
sun. Astronomers had been long ac-
customed to find that the movements
of the planets varied from the move
mentS which those planets would have
If the suns attraction had been the
sole guiding force. In adj such cases
it had been the custom to seek for an
explanation of the observed discrepan-
cies in the effects produced by the
attraction of the other planets. 1t was
known for instance that the move
ments of the earth were in this way
affected by Jupiter, and that the move
mentS of Mars were affected by the at
traction of the earth. In fact every one
of the planets exercises a disturbing
effect on the movements of each of the
other planets, the amount of these dis
turbances depending primarily upon
the mass of rhe disturbing planet and
also, Of course, or the other circum-
stances of the movements of each of
the bodies. The studies of mathemati-
clans have SO far perfected our methods
of calculating the effects of these
forces, that we are able to determine
how much each planet is forced to
swerve from its track in virtue of the
pull exercised upon it by every other
planet. Generally speaking the dis
tGrbances which observation showed

telescope power. Those earlier as

connoitering the heavens, happened TO

it for granted that ii was fixed star; it
never occurred to them that it was
anything essentially different from che
OF the thousands of similar looking
objects lying all around. They never
imagined that it called for any further
recognition than was implied by
noting its magnitude and the exact
position which it occupied in the sky.
These early observations in which the
planet was mistaken for star and
had it's places recorded in catalogues
with thousands of undoubded stars
have since proved TO be of signal SER
vice, in connection with the immortal
discovery which we are presently to set
forth. Little could any one of those

We seem to have emerged for the time
from the thraldom of college sports. They
fiourish--and long may they flourlshi-but
the intensity of their prevalence is not so
great just now but that the more important

compete with them successfully for the at
tention of mankind Four years ago, when
the football players owned Thanks giving
day outright. and had preferred claim on
a large part of the fall the voices of the
prophets of the Republic clamored hourly
against the tyranny of athleticism, and de-
plored with lamentations and much tossing
up of dust the apparent supremacy of mat
ter over mind. But mind since then seems
to have slipped out again from under mat

THE FARMER RUINED.
Results of Currency Contraction After
the War of 1872.

L. L. Hamilton, secretary of the National
Business Mems League has prepared a
pamphlet full of important facts showing
that the farmer will suffer under free sill
ver He proves conclusivey that the same
results will follow free coinage as followed
the war of 1872 when a sudden contraction
of the currency in 1877 caused a series of
panics in which farmers lost their farms
and wheat fell from 81 a bushel to so cents
He proceeds upon the assumption that the
first result of free silver coinage will be a
sudden contraction of the currency by
$500, 900 of gold ceasing to be money. AS
the better money has always disappeared
when the cheaper and inferior is made the
basis. so would gold disappear after the
adoption of free silver coinage Mr. Ham
ilton will speak during the week as fol-
lows:

Mr.. Hamilton will have with him q large
number of pamphlets issued by the Bust
ness Mems League for distribution. No
more important pamphlet has been issued
than this which Mr.. Hamilton has brought
into Indiana. His addresses will be made

William A. Anderson, a Prominent
Democrat, Out for Sound Money


William A. Anderson, a lifelong Demo-
crat and one of the best-known farmers
living in the vicinity of Acton, publicly an
nounced last night that he cannot support
Bryan and his Populistic platform The
announcement was made at a Republican
rally in the Acton town hail. where Mr.
Anderson presided over meeting. at which
addresses We're made by S. H. Spooner.
Matson, of Indianapolis Mr.. Anderson has
been one of the most prominent farmers in
his peighborhood for thirty years He has
frequently taken the stump in favor of the
Democratic party. He is regarded as a pru-
dent and conservative man and yields a
substantial influence. Mr.. Anderson spoke.
briefly but to the point, and he was hearth
ly applauded, many Democrats in the audi
ence approving Mr.. Anderson's remarks;
as heartily as the Republicans. In forcible
language Mr.. Anderson told why he cannot
support the Chicago platform and nomi-
neeS. The platform he regards as revolu-
tiCndry antagonstic to Democratic prin-
ciples, and the policy outlined as tending 10
plunge the country into financial disaster
Mr.. Anderson said that he intends to vote
for Palmer. personally. but he realizes
is working for the Republican candidates.
He intends to vote the Republican State
and county tickets.
The town hall was crowded last night
and many persons who drove in from other,
villages were unable to get into the build
ing. Between eight hundred and thou
sand persons were at the rally last night.
