Finding Small Planets.

DR.. Max VOLTS method Of detecting
minor planets by photography is de-
scribed in a recent number of Nature.
He uses siX-inch portrait lens Of thir-
ty inches focal length in his telescope.
which gives him field of about seventy
square degrees. To make sure that the
trails of the planets are not defects in
the plates, two photographs OF each re-
gion are taken with an exposure OF two
hours. A positive and negative are
put together with the films in contact
where the trails appear as a continue
tion of each other. Another method is
TO look at the photograph through a
stereoscope, the planet then appearing
in relief. DR.. Wolf has never looked
through the telescope at any OF the
many planets he has discovered by the
Photographic method

Pardon.

The abuse Of the pardoning power is
one of the striking facts in the history
Of human methods OF dealing with
crime. AS commonly exercised, it has
been a serious evil, not only in its d.
rect effect In arbitrarily RENTING pun
ishment which, both for the good of the
sxil doer and of society, should be al
hwed to work its natural effect, but
In the expectation which is encouraged
in the minds Of those who plan the
preparation of crime; that even If
convicted and sentenced they will be
pardoned. -Rev. William I. Nichols.

Your Worst Encmy Writhine


With the rheumatism ia m individual
whom, if you have Christian spirit, you
would forgive. He is, no matter what his
delinquences, punished enough. Nothing
short of Tophet could enhance his mis-
cry. Moreover, he lie in serious peril.
The disease is always prone to attack his
heart and kill him instanter. As a means
of curing this disease, Hostetter's Stomach
3itters has the highest reputation and
the most authoritative professional sane
ton. Its use in the preliminary stage of
the complaint is the wisest precautionary
measure rheumatic invalids can possibly
adopt. The Bltters is also remedy of
the greatest utility in malarial aud kid
ney trouble, dyspepsia and liver COM
plant, constipation and nervousness. 1t
counteracts the effects of hardship and
exposure in damp or inclement weather,
and is capital promoter of appetite and
sleep. Give this fine remedy the per-
sistent trial to which all medicines of
standard reputation are entitled.

Ha!iey's cumet, with five others, stands
IN this peculiar relation to the planet Nep-
tune. This singular connection that seems.
to exist between a number of comets and
these large planets has led to the theory.
which n hundred years ago was suggested
by the great French astronomer Lapiace.
and which is simply this: That the planet
has captured the comet, changed Its ong-
inally parabolic motion either into a hy.
perbolic one, in which case 1t Will never

will secure its return
