A Generous Horse.
From the st. Louis Republic. :

From the st. Louis Republic.
The horse is generally rated as one Of
the most intelligent animals. and pretty
incident that was witnessed by q number
of persons yesterday shows that generos-
ity also entersrinto his character.
Two ine-looking horses attached to sin
gle buggfes were hitched at the curb oppo-
site the Chestnut street entrance to the
Merchants Exchange. They were hitched
several feet apart. but the hitching straps
allowed them sufficient liberty OF move
ment to get their heads together II they
so desired. The owner of one OF them had
taken the opportunity of a prolonged stop
to give the horse feed of oats, which was
placed on the edge Of the sidewalk in
bag.
This horse was contentedly munching his
oats. when his attention was attracted by
the actions of the other horse The other
horse was evidently very hungry. He eyed
the plentiful supply Of oats wistfully and
neighed In an insinuating manner The
horse with the feed pricked up his ears DO
litely and replied with Neigh which
must have been. in horse language an in
yitation to the other fellow to help himself
Evidently he accepted 1t as such, for he
moved along in the direction of the bag as
far as the hitching strap would permit. But
the strap was not long enough and his
hungry mouth fell about yard short of
the bag.
The other horse noticed and seemed to
appreciate this difficulty Fortunately
there was some leeway to his strap So
he moved slowly along the curb pushing
the bag with his nose until the other horse
was able to reach 1t. Then after friendly
nose-rub of salutatien. the two horses con-
tentedly finished the oats together.

1t is found that If the diameter of Titan Is
1890 miles and IL the material Of Themis

only thrty-eight miles. And, similarly, the
diameter Of Phoebe is found to be forty-two
miles. sphere forty miles In diameter
large as a ball eight inches in diameter and
5000 miles away. But since the satellites
Of Saturn shine by reflected sunlight, and
since the intensity Of sunlight at Saturn is
but one hundredth part as great as 1t is
at the earth because Saturn is so much
farther away from the sun than the earth
is), it is found that a ball rather less than
one inch In diameter placed 1000 miles
away would reflect as much light to US as
Phoebe or Themis.
The distance of al the satellites of Saturn
from the planet are shown in Fig. 2. In
this figure Phoebe is omitted for lack of

diameter OF our moon Is put 32h minutes.
our moon could be placed between Saturn
and Phoebe without obschring either Of
them.
The orbit in which Themis moves Is shown
in Fig. 3. 1t will be seen that Saturn Is SO
far out of the center of this orbit that
sometimes Themis Is nearer the planet than
either Hyperion Titan and sometimes
further away than either Of them The
orbit Is not only very eccentric. but 1t is
also inclined nearly IL degrees to the plane

able and interesting of all of the orbits Of

actly overhead. But while in August the
arch emerged from the ground in the south
and disappeared again in the north 1t has
since gradually turned until it now extends
from west to east. In January 1t Will ex-
tend from the northwest to the southeast,
and in February from the north to the
south. but the part which We will then see
will be different from the part seen In
August After February the arch will
slowly sink. until in May it will lie along
the ground all the way from the southeast
through the north to the southwest. After
this it will slowly rise again.
The brilliant group Taurus may be seen
in the east almost half way up to the
zenith and now for the first time since
last winter there appears the magnificent
Orion. the most brilliant Of all the groups
of the sky. AS winter goes on this splen-
did eonstella ton will mount higher and
higher in the heavens until by February
it will be exactly south. and the sky will
then present the most brilliant aspect OF
the entire year.
Third Winter Group.
Beside Taurus and Orion. there Is a
third winter group which has appeared In
the evening sky. This Is Gemini, or the
Twins, a bright constellation low down in
the northeast, which Is now Of especial
interest because the planets Jupiter and
Neptune are at present both within its
boundaries.
The group Cassiopoea is overhead, below
this is Andromeda and still further south

planet on November and % and its
greatest distance east on November Is.
The entire satellite system Of the planet
is most remarkable one. not only be-
cause the satellites are numerous, but
because also they extend to such very
great distances from the planet. Five of
these bodies are easily visible and were
discovered during the seventeenth CEN
fury; the two inner ones were detected
by Herschel, and finally the eighth satel-
lite. Hyperion, was discovered by Bond
in September, 164S, and Independently by
Lassell at Liverpool two days later. These
last three are exceedingly difficult objects
except In the largest telescopes.
In 1888 Prof. w. H. Pickering began
systametic search for new satellites to Sat
urn. This was not at that time success
full, but ten years later. with new twenty
four inch telescope mounted in clear
mountain atmosphere in Peru, an Excess

ant was discovered. This ninth satellite
was discovered by photography. and was
the first satellite ever found in this way.

Their plates were taken to ascertain how
1t was moving and to furnish a basis for
computing its orbit. When those exposed
in 1901 reached the United States careful
examination of them revealed still another
small satellite, and accordingly. in April Of
the present year. the announcement was
made of the discovery of the tenth satellite
of Saturn.
