American astronomers are requested
to keep tlieir eyes open for a stray
moon. which DIR. yYaltemath. of Ham
burg, is anxious to find again. His OBJ
ject, says the New York Sun. is to ac-
count for and control certain Irregular
tiles in coming to time on the part of
the old moon that we are accust omed to
see. He knows exactly what sort of a
moon he wants and where it ought to
be. Its apparent diameter is 14O sec
onds, but its real diameter is 42O miles.
its surface about one-twenty-fifth and
its bulk one-eightieth that of the visi-
BILE moon, and it is 615s6OO miles distant
from the earth, and two and two-thirds
times as far as our moon.
This little moon has been seen num-
Der of times in the last 300 years. Dur
ing the seventeenth century it an
peared as fiery red ball with a white
streak across it. Later observers de-
scribe it as of the dark gray color of the
spots on the moon, and as a round.

father, saw it at Montpelier November

discovery.
February of this year the little
moon passed over the sun. and it will

course is TT days, and it's daily mo-

HOSTILITY TO EDUCATION.
The English Are Opposed to the
Teaching of Servants.

The English Are Opposed to the
Teaching of Servants.
An American visitor to England who
spends some little time in the country,
says j. N. Larnew, in the Atlantic, can
hardly fail to become conscious of three
serious facts: (D That there is a
strong gclass-feeling against much educa-
ton for those who are looked on as un-
derlings and servants-a feeling more
prevalent and more pronounced than the
shamefaced sentiment of like mean
ness that is whispered in some snobbish
American circles. (2) That the "schooI
rate" seems to be the most begrudged
of English taxes, the most sharply criti-
cised, the most grumbled at; and this
to degree for which there seems moth
ing comparable in America. (3) That
the opposition to secular schools, fos-
tered by the church and ostensibly
actuated by desire. for religious in
struction in the schools, is largely sup
ported in reality by the two sentiments
indicated above. y Looking, there
fore, to the increasingly democratic
conditions that are inevitable in Eng
land, the reluctance and factiousness of
disposition that appear among its citi-
zens touching the vital matter of popu-
lar education are ominous of evil to the
nation, and gravely lessen it's chances
of holding, under the reign of democ-
racy, the high place to which it rose
under the aristocratic regime.
