A new variable star which has bem under servation at the Poterlara Observatory for ors than a year, proves to be of extraordinary - interest on ucevant of its short period, its cycle of light changes being completed in 4 hours more than 3 hours less than that of any other kern star. The magnitude varices from 8.59 No 79, and it is supposed that the changes must be due to the revolution of two bright bodies at shert distance around their centre of gravity.

The history of Fagland, for example, broke off with the accession of Qan Victoria, and here very obviously an addition was needed; but there would hava boos no possible axunes for re-writing the history, of England up to the death of William (V., einod that history had bosn written by Professor Freeman and Professor Rawson Gardiner, and it may wall by doubted whether say two---or twenty-natoriaos to-day could contribute so fine a treatise upon the subject, No shadow of s roasca could hate her found to justify the re-writing of that orlicte, and the purchaser of the Tenth Edition would have had no reason to be grateful to the new Editors had they decided upon such a course.
