Another star has been discovered at the Har-
ward Observatory by Mrs. Fleming to whom are
credited Ave of the SIX stars found since 1885.
This latest In the stellar family is in the
s,ellstion Sagittarius
Prof. W II. Pickering has discovered q new and
ninth satellite OF the planet Saturn. tho new body
having been found on four plates exposed with the
Bruce telescope at Arenupa In Peru, This additional
moon of Saturn probably does not exceed 300 miles
in diameter and is faint that but few Of the great
telescopes at present In existence are powerful
enough to disclose It. Japetus, discovered at the
Paris Observatory in 1871 by Dominique Cassini.
has hitherto been regarded az Saturn's outermoSt
moon. being at a distance II 2hS millions of miles
from the planet, and having a period Of 7o'a days,
But the new satellite IS so times more distant than
Japetus, and it consumes almost a year and half
in going once completely round Saturn. Moro than
half century has elapsed since a new satellite Was
added to thc SatInlan system.

Religion and Theology.

To THE EDITOR or THE sUN-Sir: Tho Rev. Mr.
Cornell crticiscs the newspapers for meddling with
such subjects as theology and religion; but in this
day and age the papers reach many hundreds and
thousands who seldom II ever get within the sound
of a preachers voice. Since the ministers have not
tho slightest chance TO reach or to teach these
people. why should they object to their getting
food for thought elsewhere? An important thought
is this: Is theology religion1 Religion is within
man. SO long as there is living a single human
being there will be religion in the world 1t simply
cannot be otherwise. All the newspapers in Chris
tendon. scientists. philosophers, Bob Ingcrsolls
and II You will, even the devil himself cannot and
do not touch or hurt religion. The spark of tho in
finite and divine principle Of life Is born with each
and every one OF us Even when We pass from this
lifo that something dies not Therefore religion is
from and OF eternity. and by the side Of 1t moro
theology is temporal only and OF no importance.

POEMS WORTH READING.
Paul and Virginia.

From he Pail Mall Gazette.
In the lovely isle of France
Now it's called MAurttius)
Lived the children of romance.
Children most delicious
Each had no papa at all,
Each loving mother;
And the one was Christened Paul
Sirginic the other.
So they loved ike you and me.
Pretty Paul and NirRinie
Loved each other best OF all,
Pretty Virklnie and Paul
But their happiness entailed
Grief TO wreck and rack 1t;
Virginlc for Europe sailed
BY tho monthly packet.
When she journcyed home again,
In his arms to nestle,
Suddenly u hurricane
Took and smashed her vessel.
And she cried across the sea,
Love, swim out to NirRinie !"
But he answered to her call.
Dearest. swim ashore to Paul"
but, alas for her and him.
Though beset by dangers.
She could not prepare to swim.
For the crsW csrs sfrdnosrs
SO she waited by the mast.
Duly gowned and bodied.
And was washed ashore at last
Drowned. but strictly modest!
so she died, and 40 did he,
All for love Of VirRinie;
And their mothers one and all
Died for Virginie and Paul.
