LITERARY NOTES.

Owing TO the wabbling Of the earth on its
axis, some OF the stars seem to shift their POSI-
ton slightly in the sky. What are called va
riations in latitude" therefore, are detected by
stellar observations. Although the North Pole
may be only few hundred feet out OF pump
so to speak, the astronomer can ascertain the
fact. A good deal Of work has been done IN
this country with this object in view and one
Of the places where It is conducted is the Flower
Observatory, University Of Pennsylvania OF
which Professor Charles E. Doolittle Is director
Among the recent publications OF that institu-
ton are some Results Of Observation with the
Zenith Telescope relative to latitude, FOR the
period between October 1, 1896 and August 1t.
1898 The extreme differences noted in that
interval amount to only about .3S Of second
of arc. which is equivalent to movement OF less
than one thousand feet. Professor Doolittle

One Of the first serious problems which arose
in this country in relation TO railway transporta-
tion grew out OF the enormous inconvenience,
delav and cost incident to shipping freight or
travelling over a route-like that between Albany
and Buffalo-ma1e up OF nearly dozen separate
short lines Between 1853 and 1869. however
number Of consultations occurred. rot only
along this particular highway, but elsewhere
between the Atlantic seaboard and Chicago, so
that the passenger and freight business was
greatly stimulated. new trouble was then
experienced this one by the railways rather
than the public. Competition, such as had not
been possible before. sprang up between trunk
lines of which five traversed the region just
mentioned But competition proved runous,
and steps were taken not only in the case OF
the roads between New-York and Chicago, but
also still further west. we'll as In the South.

arrangements proved short lived, however. Some
one would break his pledge rates would be
stealthy reduced. the offence would be discov-
cred and retaliation would ensue. Then II was
proposed to try scheme which would make II
for the interest OF the competing companies to
keep faith.
II a stated division OF the business was agreed
upon and one company carried more than Its
share II would do so without cOfnpensallon' III
asmuch as its proportion Of the earnings was to
be controlled and actually paid by authority,
and 1t could get only much. The payments
for service from shippers were put into pool.

the roads It's proper share, and inequalities were

chances are that it will spend itself
before making much further progress.
The weather bureau gave out this
news last night: The movement of the
hurricane is apparently very slow and

wind this morning was but y miles
an hour. The opinion of the officials
il that by the time Charleston is
reached no more than an ordinary
wind will be blowing.
Wilmington and Norfolk have taken
down their hurricane signals.
The storm now appears to be ON the
cas-. coust of Florida, and the latest re-
ports from Jupiter dated at four
o'clock this afternoon indicate pref
" severe blow at that place. It is NOW
south of Jacksonville, indicating a
