A SCIENTIST TO RETIRE
Prof. NewcOmb Will Reach the
Age Limit Next Month.
AN EMINENT ASTRONOMER
He Has Had Charge of the Nautical
Almanac for Many Years-His
Fame as a Scientist Worldwide.
A Recipient of Many Honors-His
Retirement Compulsory.

Prof. Simon Newcomb, who for more
than twenty years has had charge OF the
Nautical Almanac, will be retired accord.
ing to law on March IL. On that date he
will have reached the age OF shJy-two
years.
Prof. Newcomb was appointed a pro
fessor of mathematics in the United States
Navy in 1861 and since that time he has
rendered invaluable aid to the government,
as well as having contributed very largely
To scientific research in many branches,
but more especially that OF astronomy.
Prof. NewcOmb is Canadian by birth
having come To this country in 1858 He
was first teacher in Maryland and shortly
afterward was engaged as computer on
the Nautical Almanac issued at Cam
bridge, Mass. Later he attended the Law.
renee Scientific School, graduating In
1883. Three yearsla he was appointed
10 the position in the navy which he holds
at the present time.
Prof. NewcOmb's contributions to the
world of science have made him famous,
not only in this country, but in all OF
Europe He has received numberless testi-
monials OF the high regard In which he
is held by the scientific societies and uni
versities of the old world. He is one OF
Americas eminent astronomers, and his
various mathematical and astronomical
works are standard text books i'll the
schools and colleges. He has also con-
tributed more than 100 valuable papers
on astronomy, political economy and matbe-
nIatics which are regarded as most mas
terry tIeatises He was elected professor
OF Johns Hopkins University some years ago
The degree Of LII. ID. was conferred upon
him by the following colleges: Columbian
University, 1874: Yale, 1875; Columbia,
1884: Harvard, 1887
In 1875 the University Of Lcyden con
ferrcd upon him the degree Of master Of
mathematics and doctor Of natural phil
osophy. The University Of Heidelberg con
ferred the degree OF PHI d. upon him in
1886, and in 1874 he was awarded the
gold medal Of the Royal Astronomical So
Ciety. The great gold medal given once
in twenty years TO the astronomer pub
fishing the most valuable work, by the
University OF LeydGn, was awarded himin
1874
These are only few OF the many honors
conferred upon him He is d lso fellow
in nearly every scientific society Of the
world. lie has occupied "A foremost place
in the scientific bodies OF the United
States, having been president of the Ma
tional Academy uf Sciences, and also con
nected with every other scientific body OF
note.
FIOf Newcomb is still in the prime of
his mental vifOr, and his great services

ie solely missed.
As the age limit OF his active service is
fixed by law, his retirement is compul-
sorry, unless Congress, by special act.
Loud extend his term. This, however.
Is @. likely, as IL is Understood that PIOf.
NewcOmb does not desire it.

The gentleman from Colorado, Mr., VOL
oott is supposed 10 be in midocean some
where proceeding gayly homeward after a
thoroughly unsuccessful trip abroad. We
hope that our New York contemporaries
will not be inconsiderate enough to give
him trouble when he lands. Mr. Wolcott
would not have undertaken this mission
If be had understood the temper OF this
country or that Of any one of the other
countries which he visited. This country
wants bimetallism: the others, England es-
pecially, don't care for it and won't
have it. Now, it is doubtful if Mr.. VOL
colt was the first TO think that this errand
of his could profit anybody anything. He
is not to blame, then, and ought not TO be
ridiculed. If he chooses to tell the truth,
bis contributions TO the literature of the
currency question may be made very
valuable. Let him rise in the Senate some
day and recount bis experiences fully

mean, not the Others.

A Costly bicycle.

1.-THE man with the 81, 900 Wheel as
he is known to uptown bicycle riders,
has appeared again, and whether his wheel
did cost 81 900 or not, il is wel worth
seeing, and the owner OF 1t does not
mind attracting attention. He looks as
if he might be a SpaniaTd or an Italian,
and he is. the authority for the statement
of the cost of the wheel u is not a
particularly graceful machine, but it is
wonderfully constructed The handle bar
is of chased silver, and the rest of the frame
looks asif it might be OF silver with mother
ofpearlinlaid. Therider apparently thinks
that his wheel is show enough, and he pays
very little attention to his own costume.
He rcde up the Boulevard several days
ago wearing pair of long, tight trousers,
strapped around his ankles. He is known
simply as 1.-The man with the 81 900 Wheel"
andriders who have watched him, expecting
that some day he would appear with an
advertising sign, have been disappointed.

Welsh Rarebit Recipe

Sbould Won ask me, friend and actor,
whence the flavor OF the rabbit,
Whence its odor and its smoothness,
Whence it's subtle fascination
| should answer, | should tell you:
From the method OF its mixture
From the choice Of its ingredients,
And the time Of introduction,
This the way to make rabbit:
Give me of your cheese, O grocer!
Good fresh dairy cheese domestic
Cheese quite fresh, not old and moldy,
Cut it then in dainty fragments
Fragments cut in sizes equal;
Light the spirit lamp and place 1t
Meath the blazer, brightly cleaning;
Then lump of butter placing
In the blazer watch it creaming,
Dreaming in the heated blazer;
Then with deftness and the substance
Creamy substance, cut in fragments
Then when it doth melt and thicken.
Pour on ale-the ale called Bass;
Gently add in scanty spOOnfuis,
Lest YOU chill the substance melting
Always stirring, stirring al ways.
When the cheese to heat surrenders.
Drop into the dish so tempting
Two spOonfuls. measured finely,
Only two. Of good dry mustard.
This you add to keep dyspepsia,
Grim dyspepsia. from partakers
All this while keep up the stirring.
Always stirring, stirring always.
Add touch OF red paprika,
Made from pepper tips Hungarian;
This the foe Of Indigestion.
Deadly foe of indigestion.
"Now you stir with vim and ardor,
For the rabbit nears completion,
A nd the appetites are whctted
BY the subtle, faint aroma.
Plates, hot plates, must be beside you,
Crowns with buttered toast, and waiting
For the baptism of the rabbit,
Hot and smooth, and oh, so fragrant
Quickly hid the guest assail it,,
Ere breath OF air can chill it;
Ale or beer attends the feasting,
And delay is most disastrous;
Plates and toast and beer and glasses
Must he ready at your elbow
Quickly served and quickly eaten,
And the grace he spoken after,
This is the secret of the rabbit

Chatting Dish.

out parks and boulevards, and plant shrubs

going to work real hard. In many years,

why Babies Like to Pound.

Mothers arelearningint the new researches
which the science of pathology, or child
study, has developed the meaning of much
that they have hitherto accepted without
thought or scarcely observation. For ex-
ample, the pounding that babies like to in
dulge in if rattle or toy is put in their
hands has been thought to be prompted by
their fondness for noise. But savants tell
us now that babies have avery imperfectly
developed sense of sound. They do not
hear at all readily until they are several
months old, and then the faculty increases
very gradually in its perception. This is
undoubtedly a wise provision OF nature, as
the noises of the world, all unknown as they
are. would frighten the little creatures if
heard in their full intensity. They enjoy
and practice the pounding because they
like the muscular exercise. They are all
movement and push, with constant desire to
thrash about in the first year or two OF their
existence A lecturer on the subject says
that It'll IA tendency of babies togrow broad,
but nature in giving them this craving for
exercise provides a counteracting influ-
