A NEW MOON DISCOVERED.

An interesting astronomical discovery
Is announced by DR.. George Waltemath
of Hamburg, Germany, of o second moon
60 the earth The existence of such a
body has long been suspected by astrono-
mers. from certain disturbances in the
motion of the moon we are accustomed to
see, There has been noted small but
constant acceleration of its motion that
has never been accounted for by data in
possession of observers, and it has remained
one of the minor puzzles Of the science.
The doctors study has been largely in
compilation Of few observations, ex-
tending over q long period OF years, at
yery uncertain intervals, which are re-
corded in the annals of science. They are
principally of small spots on the sun, the
motion and character of which did not lit
in the accepted laws governing solar
physics.
The first observation was by an astrono'
mer named Cassini, in Montpelier, france
in 1900. A DR.. Alischer made an obser-
walton of similar character in 1870 IN
,Jauer. and again in 1871. These observers
saw, and left to future students the I'M
ravelling of the mystery. Since then the
same appearances have been noted, the
observations being. as said before, Of spots
on the sun and of unexplained appear
ances in the heavens, in 1851, reported IN
fine London Chronicle, in 1862 by Won
Pollnitz 1854, 1854, 1889, 1855 and 1879 by
various observers, the last by Mr.. Convey,
an American, in North Louisburg, Mon
tana.
The doctors methods may be skipped,
as dealing with excessively abstruse
questions of mathematical and physical
laws, and record OF patient, minute
study and comparison Of the observations.
As a result he announces as an explana-
ton Of the unexplained aceeleration OF the
moons motion that another moon re-
wolves around the earth Mt aboutS'7 times
the distance of the large moon Inc
following data is given: Average period
l77. OO593 DAYS; sidereal period. ll9.221434
DAYS: daily movement Sol 94393012 de-
arees: nearest the earth, April s, at noon,
Greenwich time; farthest from the earth,
Feb. 8, at g. 70 hours; diameter, 100 kilo-
metres (94. 4 miles,; volume, LIS OF the
large moon; mass, (about) l-o0 OF the
large moon.
This very small object is best observed
with a telescope, though it has been seen
as small reddish disk, with white
streaks. The spots on the sun noted by
observers would be eclipses of the sun,
though the minute size Of the object
wonid not materially obscure the light
Of our great luIninary. The observations
seem to demand the best of conditions. to
Judge Efrom the rarity OF appearances
noted by class Ested for their minute
accuracy.

to the State of Maine.
Behind the appointment there ia very
interesting story. When Speaker Reed
was student at Bowdoin college. MIR.
Whispering pines of Brunswick The lat
ter was boy Of rudy checks and genial
disposition and he found special favor in
Mr.. Reeds eyes. The two were fast friends
as students, which accounts in large part
for the present appointment. Young Kim
ball Edid not graduate from Bowdoin but
left to 20 into business. Shortly after
Che war he drifted to South Carolina,
where he owned and edited a Republican
paper. When the Republicans were
busted from the state government there
Mr. Kilnhall lost his newspaper and not
q, little money.
Later MT. Kimball engaged in news
paper work In New York and finally be-
came he'd of the New York Associated
Press, where he was paid salary Of
$1,000 per annum. Mrs. Kimball was in
poor health and on her account, Mr..
Kimball was compelled to give up his
good position and go to Washington TO
| live. His entire fortune was consumed
in attempting to restore her health. Az
| last he secured position with the census
Office, which he retained for some time.
When this position was no longer avail
able for him, Mr.. Kimbsll was reduced
| to extremities. He remained in Washing.
| ton for time until he secured clerical
position in Spokane. as above stated.
Speaker Reed knew of Mr.. Kimball's
i'll fortune and interested himself IN help
| ing his former college mate. Senator
Frye, Representative Alexander, q native
of Richmond, Me-, and elected to Con-
gress from Buffalo district, both of
Who1n were graduates of Bowdoin COL
lege, and Representative Dingley, all
| turned in to help the Speaker secure the
appointment, which was announced late
last week.
Mr. Kimball's father, was Israel Kim
ball, who lived in Washington for many
wears, He was employed in the internal
revenue division of the Treasury Depart
ment and invented device for cancelling
revenue stamps that is in use by the
government to the present day. Mr.. Kim
ball. however, never received cent for
this invention and for many years prose-
cuted a claim unsuccessfully before Con-
gress to recover compensation.
Mr.. George Kimball is lawyer by pro.
fession and has lived part of his life in
Portsmouth, n. Fl. When he dies he says
there is no spot on earth where he would
prefer to be buried than in the Granite
| State.
