A New Satellite of Saturn.

A New Satellite of Saturn.
 A new satellite of the planet Saturn has been discovered by Professor Will liam H. Pickering at the Harvard Col lege Observatory. This satellite is three and half times as distant from Saturn as Iapetus, the outermost sat- elite hitherto known. The period is about seventeen months, and the mag nitude fifteen and half. The satellite appears upon four plates taken at the Arequipa Station with the Bruce pho tographic telescope. The last discov- cry among the satellites of Saturn was made half century ago, in September ls4s by Professor George P Bond, at that time Director of the Harvard Col lege Observatory.
 Professor Pickering will be remem- bered by our citizens as having spent several months at the Lowell Observa- tory here. In astronomical circles, the discovery of another moon of the planet Saturn is of great interest. The dis covery of a new satellite by the pres ent methods is curious operation. From plate made in Peru Prof. Pick ering Is able to locate the new moon, and to verify his work by four photo graphic plates.

Der, were given an opportunity to enjoy
themselves thoroughly. They took part in
various games, the victors each being
awarded prize, and rendered a program
of American and German songs. From the

were Illuminated by colored lanterns. Din

A Successful Year.
Miss Wilson states that the home has had
a successful school year. and that the inn
provement in the scholars has been most
marked. The home possesses an excellent
library, and stories by the best authors
have been read to the children. Many visits
were paid to the Capitol, the museum,
parks and other places Of interest to the
children. Speaking of the parks. Miss Will
son deplores the lack of space in them for
sports. Washington, it seems to her,
strikes the visitor a city for adults, as
the healthy sports, which she thinks should
be encouraged because they develop pluck
and endurance, strong bodies and healthy
souls, can be found only in out-of-the-way
corners. where they are not allowed, but
only endured by the authorities. The home
has lived within its income, although hands
icapped for money. The health of the chilli
dren has been good.

UNIVERSALIST CONVENTION
Church Gathering of Importance to Be Held
in Boston.
Changes in the Profession of Faith
to he COnsidered-Interes
Program Prepared.

The approaching biennial session of the
Universalist general convention to be held
at Boston October 20 to g. promises to be
one of the most important religious gath
erings ever held in this country.
The Universalist Church is essentially an
American church, though it has branches
in Canada and Japan. Outside of the
United States and Canada there are, how
ever, few churches which claim to be spe-
officially Universalist, and not one except
those mentioned, in organic union with it.
There are in Europe number of preach
ers who declare the distinguishing senti
ments of the Universalist Church, but
they belong to other churches. The Uni
tarians of Great Britain generally accept
1t. while there are some clergymen of spe-
cial note in the Church of England who ad-
vocate it.
There are in the United States and Can
ada about LOCO organized .Universalist
churches or societies. With these are con-
nected somewhat over $1,000 families and
