Alas for Greek Bachelors!
Rall-Mall Gazette.)

a
According to a note in the Courier de
Paris, the Athenians and Greeks, collect
lively. intend to exclude all bachelors from
their Parliament. The idea seems to be
that the bachelor has no stake in the
Commonwealth; If he is represented, that
is 80 much as he can ask for; repre-
sentative he ought never to be, for whom
does he represent except himself? And
herein the Greeks seem to fancy that they
have found a cure for celibacy, so that
all citizens will marry, and the lawful and
legitimate population of Athens will in
crease, while every young Greek having
before him as the summum bonum a seat
in the Chamber will know that his best
assurance thereof will be the votes OF his
constituents, based on the size Of his
family. Should the measure be passed
and there are so many canards OF anti
bachelor crusades that one feels some
doubt about the story-Europe Will watch
the experiment of the Parliament OF the
married men with much interest. 1t will
not last long, because when women are
elected TO Parliament they will restore
the bachelor legislator. as the sittings
would be too dull for them without him.
But ii is a retrograde measure I'm any
case. A Vienna savant has lately an
nounced that love itself is probably
microbe." The microbe, we know, always
Stays the unfittest; therefore the married
men are the unfttest; the bachelor

Wich and there seems reason to believe
that it is entirely an effect of strained
sight or Of imperfect focusing.
There are two other departments OF
spectroscopic work which it was at
tempted for a time to carry on as part
of the Greenwich routine. These were
the daily mapping OF the prominences
round the sun and the detailed examina-
ton OF the spectra of sunspots. Both are
almost necessary compliments OF the
work done in tho photographic depart
ment-that IS to say, the work Of photo
graphing the appearance Of the sun day
by day, and of measuring the positions
and areas of the spots. For the spots
afford but one index out of several Of
the changes in the suns activity. The
prominences afford another, nor can We
at the present moment say authoritative
ly which is tho more significant. Then,
again, with regard 70 the spots them
selves, 1t is not certain that either their
extent or their changes of appearance
are the features which it is most i'm
portant for us to study. We want, If
possible, TO get down to the soul OF the
spot, to find out what makes one spot
differ from another, and here the spec
troscope can help us. Great sun-spots
are often connected with violent agita-
ton of the magnetic needles, and with
displays of aurorae. But they are not
always so and the inquiry, "What makes
them differY' has been made again and
again, without as yet receiving any I'M

drawings Of II in later years. Eighteen

when Schiaparelli made his great discov-
cry of the Canals" but he did not notice
them until after the close Of the Green

not powerful enough TO do much more
than afford a general indication or the
direction in which the principal stars
were moving, and to confirm in a general
way the inference which various astrono-
mers had found, from discussing the
proper motions of stars, that the sun
and the solar system were moving
towards that part Of the heavens
where the considerations Hercules and
Lyra are placed. In 1890, therefore, the
work was discontinued. and the u "a

room for the present much larger in-
strument, by Sir Howard Grub, upon

under It, and parallel TO it, and the light
of the star was brought into it after two
reflections. The observer, therefore,
stood with his back to the object, and
looked down into the spectroscope. 1t

time that this most delicate field of work
was one for which photography possessed
several advantages. and as Sir Henry

copy one who knows the correct way TO
play golf gracefully, and do not let tho
blind lead the blind, for Of all games
golf is one in which care is necessary to
avoid falling into the ditch.
Here is the advice of the famous golf
player and ex-GOlf-C champion Taylor on
the best way to cultivate style in playing
the game: "Many things on which We
differ are OF little or no importance, and
the various opinions can be experimental
on by the tyro without running the risk
OF mourning much hurt, but there are
other things about which it will be wise
TO find out more from experienced play
ers the reasons for and against. and then
make a choice of what appears TO be the
best, and persevere in thinking IL so.
despite conflicting opinions. While there
is no reason why any one should not be-
come q good player who follows out the
advice given by 'Badminton,' there are
reasons why they cannot follow that
advice, though they may try very hard
to do so. The great drawback to those
who would learn TO play golf without
having a professional adviser az their
side is that they cannot see themselves
a others see them. Could they do so,
they would soon become aware OF how
poorly they are reproducing the swing of
which they have read, and how certainly
they are contracting habits which cam

is ambitious OF becoming a golfer will do

adjustment at Greenwich. Observatory
Of the Worship OF astronomical physics
that astronomy which deals with the
constitution and condition Of heavenly
bodies, not with their movements. it is
difficult to imagine a more interesting
study than that which goes on in this
unique workshop. Think Of investigating
the clements Of which stars millions Of
miles away arc composed, and deciding
the nature Of the solar atmosphere in a
little corner Of this insignificant earth
of ours.
The years that followed the application
of the spectrozcope to the study Of the
sun, and the demonstration that sodium
and iron existed in the solar atmosphere,
were crowded with a succession Of bril-
liant discoveries IN the same field.
Kirchhoff Bunsen, Angstrom, Thalen,
added elements after elements TO the list
OF those recognized in the sun. Higgins
and Miller carried the same research
into a far more difficult field. and showed
us the same elements in the stars. Ruth
erford and Sccchi grouped the stars ac-
cording 10 the types OF their spectra, and
so laid the foundations OF what may be
termed stellar comparative anatomy.
Higgins discovered true gaseous nebulae.
and so revived the nebular theory, which
had been supposed crushed when the
great telescope Of Lord Rose appeared
to have resolved several portions Of the
Orion nebula into separate stars.

Skeletons of Ancient Libyans.


During his comprehensive explorations

upon an ancient cemetery of very large
proportions, from which he unearthed q
people which have since been termed

A representative collection Of these
skeletons, carefully numbered, has now
arrived at the Cambridge University,
from the spot near Thebes where they
were found. Material was thus furnished
for a study Of variation In the human
skeleton, and the series OF minute mea-
surements which have been made not
only furnish valuable statistics, but bring
out several interesting features with re-
gard TO the original owners OF the bones.
