THE FOOD QUESTION.

The question of food has no direct. but

1t is more important how we eat than

pose. We eat in order to live, and our

ultimately be decided before the tri-

YALE OBSERVATORY.

The vacancy in the board of mana gers of the observatory of Yale univer- sity, occasioned by the death of Pro- lessor Newton has been filled by the election of Dr. Elkin, the present direc- tor of the observatory, who reports much progress in observations with the heliometer by Dr. Chase and himself for the purpose of detecting stars in proximity to the solar system, as sur- missed from the fact of their large ap- parent or proper motion. More than one hundred such stars are to be in- vestigated in all. For many years as tronomers have suspected possibility of systematic error in stellar distances. due to lesser refrangibility of the light of highly colored red stars, and Dr. FL kin has in progress a series of meas ures for testing this important ques- tion. But these researches have not precluded his use of the newly devised multiple instrument for photographing meteors, which has been employed at every available period of meteoric dis plays of consequence. Many trails have thus been secured; and in view of the approaching maximum shower of Leonids, due in November, 1899, the Na- tional Academy of Sciences has made a grant of $1,OO0 from the J. Lawrence Smith fund for the purpose of securing, if possible, records at an auxiliary sta tion sufficiently remote from New Ha- l ven for determining critically the paths Of the brighter meteors in space.-NeW York Evening Post

OBITU4RY.
The Late Miss Mabel Ives Stevens.

The Late Miss Mabel Ives Stevens.
 In the sudden death of Miss Mabel Ives Stevens, only daughter of Samuel A, Stevens, Esq, the community has lost @ young woman of rare attractive ness and excellence. Because of some what delicate health, natural reserve, quiet tastes, and great love of home life, she did not seek social prominence nor draw about her a large and pro- miscuous circle of friends, but to those who were permitted to know her well she was ineXpressibly dear. Her throne was in the home and hearts of her family, and her relations to her father were more those of companion and comrade than of child. Her thorough training, her thoughtful and earnest nature, and affectionate disposition made her a delightful and helpful friend to all who were honored with her confidence. She was exceedingly fond of nature and of out door life, and was never happier than when driving through country scenes with some con- genial spirit.
 Her death has brought sorrow to many hearts and left her honored fa- ther desolate and alone. Though thus suddenly cut off in her bright young womanhood, death had for her no ter TOTS; she was prepared for the higher life, and, entering into rest, she leaves behind her the fragrance of noble character and a useful life.
