ORBIT OF THE DOG STAR.
Curious Computations Made by IL
Reverend Astronomer in Nc
brRSlxa,


From Rev. Newton NJ. Mann, of
Omaha, we have received a pamphlet
containing an article by him, reprinted
from Popular Astronomy, on the orbit
of Sirius, says the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle. The article gives the
results of Mr.. Manns latest calcula-
items and conclusions concerning the
path of the great companion of Sirius
discovered by Alvan Clark in 1852 OBJ
servations of angle and distance from
1862 to October, 1895, inclusive, are en-
ployed in the calculations. From 1890
to 1896 there were no observations as
the companion was apparently so near
its principal as to be lost in the intense
light. That is, the orbit is so inclined
that the companion in it's journey
came nearly in line with the planet
and observers on the earth, and was
therefore invisible. Six years were re-
quired for passage over an angular dis
lance sufficient to get clear of the b.aze
of Sirius and become visible to OBJ
servers
1t is apparent from the delineation by
Mr.. Mann of an approximate orbit with
the positions of the companion at the
date of each observation. and from the
text, that the work of calculation was
difficult. For no orbit could be con-
structed that would touch the compan-
ion except on eleven dates out of forty
one. The angles and distances given
on the other dates of observations
placed the companion outside or inside
the delineated orbit. II must be un-
derstood that this orbit, an ellipse, was
drawn after numerous trials to touch
the companion at the greatest possible
number of times. The work was done
on a scale which would render the
thickness of line of great account
Furthermore, it was the purpose to
draw the orbit so as to bring the COM
penion as near as possible to the out
side or inside of the line at every OBJ

only such measures as are conductive
to the advancement of Manitoba and
the Northwest territory in the first in
stance and the general prosperity Of
the dominion" Manitoba first, the
dominion second. Under such an in
tense local patriot Manitoba f1ourished
during the succeeding twenty-five
years. Years before the Hudson Bay
company had argued that the domin-
ion would have no use for Manitoba,
as the land was reproductive This
was disproved under Donald Smith,
for the territory was found to contain
rich wheat producing soil. Donald
Smith was also elected to represent
Selkirk in the dominion parliament in
1871. He held both positions. but in
1874 he found it was utterly impossible
to do justice to each, and he resigned
as representative in the Manitoba as
sembly. He was reelected to the do
minion parliament in 1874 and after
wards represented Montreal West in
that body from 1887 to 1885,
Besides his railroad interests, his
colonization schemes and his work in
parliament, Donald Smith found time
to take part in strictly local matters.
He was patron of the Manitoba Rifle
association. and was the first presi-
nipeg. He helped other associations
and subscribed to many charities.
When the building of the Canadian Pa
cific railroad was begun in earnest Dom
aid Smith became an ardent worker for
the success of the road. He is at
present director and the heaviest
stakeholder in the Canadian Pacific
He travelled on the first train that
went through from the East to the
Pacific coast. He was present when
the last spike was driven at Craigel-
lachie, B. c., Nov. T. 1885. For his
services in Connection with the building
of the Canadian Pacific he was made
and st. George by Queen Victoria in
1886.
Sir Donald is best known in Montreal
as philanthropist. He is largely in
terested in many industrial and finan-
clan institutions, but his name is con-
nected more closely with the charitable
who, in conjunction with Lord Mount
Stephen, donated to Montreal the
Royal Victoria hospital in the queens
golden jubilee year, 1887. He has made
many munificent gifts to McGill uni
Verslty, among them the Donald col
lege" for the higher education of wo-
men. When Sir Donald was high COM
missioner to London he was also sworn
III a member of the privy council His
predecessors in this office were Sir A

OF genial and kindly disposition and
gifted with diplomacy in no small de-
gree, Sir Donald established in London

tive of Great Britain's premier colony
His administration OF the office result
ed in the bestowal of the peerage at

new peer has a fine private residence
at Montreal. He also has a seat at

No Work in China.

Representations are being made to railway
trainmen in the United States that a great de-
mand for such labor at high wages exists in
China. The railroad journals warn them Of
the absurdity of this. The number of miles of
road now in operation in that country is bare
ly thirty-four, and the utmost mileage shortly
to be added to the present system is the
ninety miles of road slowly being built to
connect Tientsn with Pekin. A great trunk
lire to extend 1, 400 miles from Pekin south
westerly to the coast at Hankow, is projected
but it will be long time before trainmen will
be wanted on that line.

No such claim was ever made by
anyone, and Mr.. Hartman knows it.
Republican papers and orators said
times would improve at once, and
they have. Even the little renegade
admits that they have in Montana.
But AZ he knew his remarks would
be read in Butte, where there is n
