tive bread upon which the antives of the country live. The wages paid were excep.. tionally low, with the result that the West Indians, in order to be able to exist, had to draw their money in advance. At the end of the six months it was found that the West In dians owed their employers certain, sum of money which they were unable to pay. They were then informed that they would have to continue working until they had wiped off the deficit, and that then their services would ba dispensed with, and they could return to their homes. The representations made by the West Indians were to the effect that when they had completed the work for hava their taskmasters they would than no money to take them back to their own country. They moreover complained that they were badly treated and were in many respects slaves.
Captain Allgood, of the Shearwater, has reported to the Admiralty the result of his observations and the conditions under which the West Indiane ́aro, boid'at the Galapagoi Islands, and it is expected that the British Government will order the men to be departed from the Islands back to the West Indies.

arduous labour. It is interesting to note that the map of all the stars in the heavens, which the observatories of all the world have under.
taken, is; so far as Greenwich is concerned, well do the way to completion. We are a customed to speak of the stars as like the sand of the sea for multitude; as a matter of fact, the stars that can be described by the naked eye are only some 32,000, but this is an in. finitesimal fraction of the whole number in- the sky. A quarter-plate photograph of a section of the Milky Way, will show stars as thick as they can be 'coqated, and this is but one tiny fraction of the zenith. In another branch of the Observatory's work, it is in- teresting to note, In view of the suggested connection between sunspots and our weather, that the glorious July and August of last summer were months in which the sun-spots colmicated. It was last August which gave to the remarkable la
temperature of 94.3 deg-at Greenwich. The corresponding minimum for Inst year was 10.8 deg, recorded on December Joth. With regard to the danger to the work
of the
To-
Observatory from the establishment (f the electricity generating station of the London. County Council, which attracted so much public attention, the astronomer notes that if the commendations of Lord Rosse's commit ee, which are altea y familiar, are strictly carried out, it may be hoped that the work of the Ob ervatory will not be seriously interfered with. Hepojats out, however, that "further experience when the generating station is completed and in full work may modify this view. The TC- commendations of the committes are said to be the "minimum which is absolutely necessary, and a further
