THE Bee CHER CLUB.
Address ON Astronomy Delivered nv l..
II. bennett.

TIE Bseoher club met Thursday inter-
noon with Mrs George Thompson. Pine
street. After the regular order OF ex-
eroises they listened with rapt attention
to most interesting and scholarly tsls
on astronomy BY L. b. bennett, ESQ.
Mr. bennett said In part: Mathematical
Astronomy Is the most profound study
In the world. 1t has laid the fouu da-
tion for all ether sciences Astronomy
was rather sentiment than a science
when Pythsgoras advanced the theory
that the planets revolved around the sun
this anticipating the Copernican system.
He arrived at his deductions not through
the study Of books, for there were none,
but through observation and reflection.
When Pythagorss founded the brother
hood known by his name he exhibited his
wisdom and increased his influences by
admitting women to his society and
lectures, practice 4, unknown to other
sages OF the ancient world.
Copernicus was notsS mathematician.
but he often wat ched the stars and the
theory or system known by his name was
founded on observation and pure
mathematics. 1t was twelve years before
his discovery was made public, whys Tine
church; the Catholic clergy were philoso-
piers, for through the church lay the
only road to recognition or advancement.
Tyoho Brshe, the old Danish astronomer
catalogued, measured and weighed the
start He made Instruments by which he
calculated the distance from star to star
Kepler corr esponded with this under old
Dane, and to Brahe's theories he appli ed
mathematics and then discovered that the
earth moved In an ellipse not in circle
as 1t had been supposed.
Calico first applied the telescope which
he made himself from general de-
scription Of the instrument. He was re-
warded by the discovery Of the In
capabilities on the surface of the
moon, the four satellites of Jupiter, the
rings of Saturn. spots on the sun and the
crescent form of Venus.
Then came Sir Isaac Newton with his
grand discovery Of the law OF gravitation.
1t Is related Of Newton that when this
great law nrst dawned upon his mind
that he was SO overcome and excited that
he could not continue his computations
and his sister finished the work for him.

BADLY INJURED.
Two Men Suffered From n Blast nj
Great Diamond Island.

A ssrious accident occurred yesterday
forenoon at about eleven O'Clock at the
government works on Great Diamond
island. Two men. Benjamin Clark and
Tennys Bliefling. were loading stone on
one of the cars when q piece Of stone
dropped to the ground and an explosion
followed. Both men were badly shaken
up and were seriously injured about the
face and eyes by the flying particles of
stone. A row boat was procured and
the injured men were taken to the Maine
General hospital 1t Is thought that the
explosion was caused by quantity Of
dynamite being left In the rock at some
previous blast, or that cap used in
blasting exploded. The men are middle
aged and have families.

MIR. HINDS'S BOOK ON PARLIA-
MENTARY PRECEDENTS.

Mr.. Ashur, G. Kinds Of Portland, clerk
sheets of q volume Of over l000 pages,
prepared by himself, at the suggestion of
prominent members of the House, both
democrats and Republicans. on "Parlia.
mentary Precedents Of the House of Rep
resentatives Of the United States"
He is probably more familiar with the
rules and the precedents Of the House
than any man there, excepting Speaker
Reed, for he has been constantly at the
elbow Of the presiding officer Of the House
for four years. Mr.. Kinds has examined
all the proceedings of the House from the
time 1T was organized in 1850 up to the
close of the second session Of the present
Congress.
"Not all the decisions Of the Speakers
for ITO years of the Houses existence, I"
says Mr. Kinds, "are included. AS the
membership has increased from Go MEM
bes in the First Congress to 357 In the
55th, and as the volume Of business has
grown with the growth Of the country,
the rules and practices have changed
greatly, SO that large proportion of the
very early decisions have become obsolete.
"This volume Is intended to include
all those that are still Of use. A few Of
them date from the First Congress: many
from the Congresses during the ten years
preceding the Civil war; but the larger
portion have been made since the general
revision of the rules Of 1880. Nearly,
II not quite oil of the decisions Of tho
Speaker since 1880 and many of the rul-
ings Of ohairmen Of committees Of the
whole for that period are given.
precedents which are merely proceedings,
and others which are opinions Of speak
ers or chairmen, given in response to
parliamentary inquiries. Such precedsnts
are useful, and. although without the
highest authority, have always had a
certain influence. many of them being tho
result Of careful thought on the part of
presiding officers. But they should be
distinguished from the decisions made
upon points of order and affi rmsd by the
silent acquiesosnoe or formal vute Of the
House.
"The collection was made originally
for use in the work at the Speaker
table, and Its arrangement and scope
have been planned with the view Of max
ing 1t q practical reference book for the
members and officers Of the House."
