began to wander about the building
and explore what kind of place it

They chose for this amusement the
hour-between two o'clock and three
O'Clock in the morning-when the
monks were at complins. Some of
them even went so far as to get into
the monks beds and settle down there.
In due course the monks returned
and there was a scene of frantic eX-
element. The Pathans, seeing these
white figures walking along the cor

thought that the building was haunt.

DISCOVERY MADE BY CHANCE
Astronomer Was Taking Photograph
of Jupiter's Eighth Satellite When
He Found the Ninth.

1t was announced very briefly last
August that Seth Nicholson of the Lick
observatory in California had discov- I
cred the ninth satellite of Jupiter Ac-
cording to the London Times the dis
covery is a great optical achievement,
for the satellite is of the nineteenth
magnitude; that is, its light would
have to be increased $1,000 times to
make it equal to the light of q sixth
magnitude star, which is the faintest
star visible to an ordinary eye. On,
July p, 1914, Mr. Nicholson was max
ing photograph to record the exact
position of Jupiter's eighth satellite.
He had the telescope guided to fol-
low the satellite-a method that, Of
course, made it appear In the photo
graph as point, and the fixed star as
streaks of some length. Now, as it
happened, the unknown ninth satellite
was close to the earth, and moving at
nearly the same rate Of speed, and
as result the Photographic plate had
on it, not one, but two points. Mr..
Nicholson had to have several photo
graphs taken on different nights be-
fore he could be sure that an extra
tiny dot was not a mere flaw on the
plate, but the image of an actual body
in the heavens. AS the diameter of
the new satellite is probably not more
than ten miles and as it's least dis
lance from Jupiter is 100000 miles,
it would appear even from Jupiter il
self as a tiny telescope star of the
twelfth magnitude. and would, of
course, be wholly ineffective as a
| giver of light. Its greatest distance
from Jupiter is about 100000 miles.
which is nearly as great as some Of
the interplanetary distances.

SHORTER FORM WELL CHOSEN
"ldentic" Altogether Proper and
Orthodox.

To not a few readers of the Eng
''identic, which was used by both gov
ernments, must have seemed a novel
and rather unpleasing substitute for,
or shortening of, the familiar 'identi-
cal"
The word has long been used. how
ever, in diplomatic correspondence
and documents, no doubt because of
the influence exerted by the French,
once the common language of inter
national exchanges, and still familiar
to more diplomats than any other one
tongue The French say and write
''identique," and of that 'identic"
is natural translation.
The shorter form. however, has a
valid claim for preference, in that it
says exactly what Identical says,
and does it without the pleonasm or
redundancy which marks so many of
our words ending in zeal" Why we
persist in frightening such sufficiently
long words as ''philosophic" and geo
graphic" with a wholly needless al
it would be hard to explain-almost as
hard as to explain the frequent ap-
pearance of such absurdities as dis
embark "disassociate." ''coincident-
ally and "superimpose."
One should not be too fussy about
such things, however, for in language
whatever is, is right. and enough us
age makes any usage right.
