1881. that William Herschel, at
Slough, England. discovered a new
planet Wishing to pay a compliment
to George III, his patron, he gave
it the name of Georgium Sidus. or the
Georgian Star. Other English astron-
omers wishing to compliment the dis
coverer himself. suggested the name
of Herschel. Continental astrono-
mers proposed that the old mytholo-
gical system be followed and the
name of Uranus was accepted by the
scientific world as the designation of
the seventh planet

FIRE PLUGS IN
GOOD CONDITION

Any anXietysthat exists in the bor-
ough as to the condition of the fire
plugs resulting from the recent, cold
wave would seem to be without ..any
good foundation.
The water commissioners explain
that the fire plugs from.one endsof the
borough to the other, as is customary,
were carefully inspected before the
advent of winter and are known to be
in good condition An.inspectionetwa
also made after frost.
A Nothing, it is urged, could be more
ill-advised than to open the fire plugs
at this -season..of the year. 1t is unfor-
tunate enough at this season when tile
plugs have to be opened in case of a
fire and thus be exposed to the danger
of freezing.

gary and Norway.
I'm some of the Hungarian forests
and in the pine woods Of Norway there
exists Il Tiny wOrmlike insect called
the sciaru. of the genus tipula. Dur
ing the month of July or early in Au-
gust they gather together in large
numbers preparatory to migrating In
search of food or for change of con-
dition. When setting out on this jour
ney they stick themselves together by
meaus OF some glutinOus matter and
form a huge Serpent-like mass, often
reaching u length of between forty and
fifty feet and several inches in thick
ness. As the sciara is only on an av
erage about three thirty-seconds Of an
Inch in length, with no appreciable
breadth whatever, the number required
to compose continuous line Of the
size above mentioned Is almost meal
culable Their pace is, of course, very
slow. and upon meeting an obstacle,
such as stick or stone, they will
either writhe over or around It, some
times breaking into two bodies for this
purpose.
VI. Guerin- Meneville. celebrated
French naturalist, said that If the rear
portion of this wonderful snakelike
procession he brought into contact with
the front part and sort OF circle
formed the insects will keep moving
round In that circle for hours without
apparently noticing that they are get
ting no "forrader" on their journey. II
the procession be broken in two, the
! portions will reunte in short time.
The Norwegian peasants, when they
meet one of these trains. will lay some
article of their clothing, such as belt
or handkerchief, on the ground In front
of it, If the procession passes over It
It Is regarded as Il good sign, but II 1t
