Uranus, and its orbit had been calculated; for, since the planete all move in ellipses about the sun, the path of each can be determined after making the necessary observations. But when that of Uranus was carefully watched, it was seen
to differ slightly from tho course · ́as- eigned by theory. Something evid ently was interfering with it, because cach member of the solar system exercises an attraction on the others which increases with the quantity of matter with the distance. Independently, and almost simultaneously, Adams. of England, and Leverrier, of France, determined, by mathematical calculations, the position of the yet more remote disturbing planet with wonderful accuracy, and it was soon mark ed down in the sky by the telescopes of observatories. Here, howevor, the optical instrument could make visible what the naked eye could not see, but there are many celestial bodies which not even the best of tolescopes can rareal. These are de- tected in quite another way. We often talk of the fixed stars, and such, for all practical purposes, those almost infinited distant suna appear to be; but now that they are studied with the more ponet in struments of modern research, not only is. ench found to have a motion of its own across the blue background of infinity," but also not a few of them seem to exhibit other movements, one being slightly escillatory, like distant skater cutting small circles around a glove on the ice. The light of Algol seems to fade at regular intervals of nearly three days, besides swaying contly backwards and forwards. If the luminous star were unequally yokod to a dull. heavy companion, and the two were revolving, as they would have to do, around a common centre, the result would be the phenomena observed. There may he hundreds of like cases, but it will be rare for the two to be so rotating that, when viewed from the earth, the ono colipises the other. The Dog Star-Sirios―as, por- haps, might be expected, is unsteady in its ways, and this, too, is believed to be coupled with a dull dog. But we do feel shocked when told that our emblem of 433- stability, the Pole Star, swings backwards and forwards, and, so far from being the centre of the celestial u iverio. is clearly under the influence of unseen powers be hind the throne. These-probably, there are two at least are quite invisible, for what could disclose a dark globe, however argent a distance where even our sur would be a more point of light? Yet we cannot doubt their presence. earth, as we know, moves through a part of space which is full of similar bodi-s-of- ten sinal unused material littering the shooting stars when exposed to the friction celestial expanse-which blaze up to of our atmosphere, and, from time to time, tumble down on our earth. The faint, luminous cloud spots called nabula are sup- posed to originate in swarms of such meteo- rites, which, dashing one against the other, become botter and hotter from incessant collision, till at last they are more or less volatilised and are recognisable as a nebula. The distances of stellar space are so enor- mous the abysses of that ocean so un- fathomable that there is room enough and to spare for vast quantities of invisible material, since the nearest star is so far away that the light from it, travelling at the rate of one hundred sud eighty-six thousand miles a second, takes four years to come to us.

WHAT IS A COUGH?
A spasmodic effort to expel the mucus
from the bronchial tubes. A cold cances a more abundant secretion of mucus, and when the lungs and bronchial tubes are infrined, they are extremely sensitive to the irritation. Unless caro is taken, the cold may result in pneumonia, which is swift and deadly. If the cold is a lingering one, the more leisurely but equally fatal consumption may set in. Do not neglect a cold or cough. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It always cures and cures quick ly. For sale by All Dealers; WATKINE Ltd., General Agents.

Wireless Telegraphy.
Professor Braun, of Strassburg, an nounces that he has made a great discovery with regard to wireless telegraphy, having, found means to produce electric energy in unlimited volume, which can be projected into spac in the form of electric waves to any distance. This new method, he as serts, secures increased accuracy of trans- mission, and promises to lead to a method of confining the current to the direction in which it is sent, so that the possibility of message being intercepted will be much reduced.
Ivy Dead.
Ivy, the Derby winner of a year ago, was killed, yesterday, after an incident, which risked the lives of several human beings. Captain Trefusis, A.D.C. to Sir W. Gascoigne, General Commanding the District, was riding along Praya East, when a coolie, propelling a ricksha, collid. ed with the waler, one of the shafts pene. trating the animal's chest. A European passenger in the ricksha was thrown on to the road, the sha' knocked over a sam- pan girl, and the Captain was unseated. The waler was afterwards shot.
Captain Brown' Again.
Mr John Morley praised Mr Wyndham's tone and urged the adoption of the Con- ference proposals, which involve a grant of £52,000,000 and a loan of £100.0.0,000. The amendment was withdrawn.
THE NEW ARMY SCHEME. LONDON, February 25. Mr Balfour said that it was true that our Navy stood first in our thoughts, and we
must meet its needs, but it did not follow
that we must spend more money on the Navy than on the Army. The essential difference between the Governinent and its opponents, he said, is whether three Army Corps are required for work abroad. No war could be ended by a Fleet alone, or by a Citizen Army; it were folly to doprive ourselves of the means of offence.

Fixity of Exchange.
The Municipality of Singapore has addressed a letter to Government, in favour of exchange-fixity. In this letter, it was pointed out that the Municipality was n large importer from gold-using countries, that the revenue for the year

was as a rule fully appropriated, and that any extra expenditure incurred by the fall
in exchange had to be met by curtailing other roter and thereby starving other services, and also that the Commissioners were contemplating undertaking certain works such as a now Impounding Reservoir and the introduction of a scheme for the disposal of nightsoil for which a large som of money would be required which could not possibly be raised locally. Hence, the Commissioners naturally hesitate to agree to a gold loan, as, with the present currency,
