THE WORLDS AROUND Us.

| The lasF few weeks have been eXcep.
tionally fruitful of astronomical d.scos
cries. On Sept. 3 an observer at Held
elberg discovered a new minor planet.
and on Sept five more were ,iiscUy-
cred. The incident is of interest as
showing that the stock of these fras-
mentary worlds is not exhausted. Last
May similar discovery was made II
Heidelberg. The long interval OF four
months since then without a new as
teroid had suggested that there We're
no more TO find. tits largely due 10 the
keen observation of the Photographic
plate that the roll of pocket planets"
has been recently enlarged to about
400 While Peters and Palisa found
them one by one by patient diligence,
the Photographic plate reveals them
Ivy the dozen.
Two new comets have been found
The first, which is faint telescope OBJ

the Nice observatory on Sept. 4. The
other was discovered by Mr.. Brooks of
Geneva, n. Y, on the same day. To-

suggesting the theory that the rising
sun had struck and revealed some ele-
waited region on Mars. while the plains
below still lay in darkness. 1t is yet
undetermined, however, whether the
prominence" was mountain or cloud.
The other discoveries take us be-
yond our solar system to systems ex-
uemely remote. That of Sirius, one
of the brightest of the heavenly host,
is of special interest. 1t has been
known for some time that Sirius has
satellite which, though equal to our sun
in mass, gives only 1160th of its light.
On account of its dimness the satellite
has, therefore, been difficult TO observe.
Its movement in it's revolution about
Sirius has brougt it again within view,
and DIR. See, at Flagstaff, Arizona, has
observed it. A star, other than our
sun, with planets revolving about it, is
a sufficiently curious object, and fur

of Sirius will be awaited with interest.

Young men are an inspiration because

little while until the responsibility of

Cheap Labor.

People in general cannot understand
the doirgs of a student of nature. Es.
pecially quite ignorant persons arc apt
to conclude, when told that the objects
of his search are fossils or minerals,
that under this explanation is concealed
the purpose of securing some buried
treasure, for that is the only thing that
would induce them to dig. Mr.. A. L.
Adams relates an amusing instance of
this reasoning.
While excavating large cavern on
the southern coast of Malta we had dug
trench in the soil on its floor some six
feet in depth in quest of organic re-
mains. The natives i'll the vicinity,
hearing of our presence, came in num-
bers daily to witness the proceedings,
| interrogating the workmen with refer
ence to the object of our researches, of
| which the workmen We're about as ig-
norant as themselves.
One afternoon three stalwart fellows
paid us a visit. and while they sat on
the heap of dirt staring down into the
dark ditch below l dropped Spanish
| dollar ON q shovelful of earth, and the
next moment it lay with the soil Oh
the heap. Picking it up in careless
manner, I put it into our luncheon bag
and few minutes afterward our friends
disappeared, muttering to one another
as they went.
Great was our amusement the mex
morning to find that our trench hat
been carried fully four feet below tn
level we had gained on the previou
evening. Not only that; several othe
excellent sections of the floor had beel
made By the natives in expectation Q
finding buried treasure.-Ycuth's Com
