New Discoveries in the Stars.


A late circular issued from the Harvard
College observatory includes in its account
of the most important recent discoveries
the spectrum Of a star known as Zeta
Puppis, its remarkable character being un-
like that OF any other yet obtained, the
continuous spectrum containing three sys-
TENS of lines-frst, the dark hydrogen
lines, such as are found in stars of the first
type; second, two bright bands OF lines,
which may be Identical with the adjacent
lines in spectra of the fifth type. and, third,
series of very faint lines. But the most
important feature of this spectrum is a
new element, not found on the earth or in
any other stars, an element which, though
similar to hydrogen, is yet distinctly diff
ferent from it; just what it is. or by what
name to call 1t, astronomers are undecided,
the marked popularity being noted that 1t
produces vibration, systematic rather than
accidental, of three-ten- -millionths of q mil
limeter. and the action of which can be
traced only on a specially prepared photo
graphic plate. Another extraordinary dis
covery noted is a new variable star. in the
constellation Crux, with a period of about a
year.

When God goes forth TO var.

Ay, honor the brave little nation

And that never question was settled
Until it was settled right.

How much may be or lost,

Who will not count the cost.

There is another thing in connection with
this matter of Communication of sentences
for good behavior ut the New Jersey prison
which is not practiced at the Albany
prison. and one which will not be favorably
regarded by those corvicts who shall 20
to Trenton for a second term there. That
Is, that rule Of the prison which requires a
convict to serve the second time he Is sent
there all the time remitted to him on his
previous term. For instance, if he got off
on his first term six months or year, or
whatever it may be, he VIII, when he re
turns for a second term. have to serve that
time III addition to his second sentence
At Albany, no matter how often a convict
returned. he had good time deduction
to make up.
There is another difference in the man
aSement of the two prisons. Whenever
batch of prisoners arrived at Albany from
Washington the party was met at the de-
pot by an officer of the prison with the
prison van. Upon arriving at the prison
the Washington officials were regaled by
fine lunch or dinner, and when they left
