HOW THE EARTH MOVES, Prof. Searle Talks at the Catholic Uni- versity on Its Spherity and Motio: The second lecture of the public astronomi- eal course by Prof. George M. Searle at the Catholic university on Friday afternoons was delivered last week on the subject of: the spherity and motion of the earth. The lec- turer asked his hearers to imagine themselves on the deck of an ocean steamer bound for the tropics. As darkuess comes on “we begin to study the constellations that some friend at our elbow is ready to point out to us,” he said. ‘e notice some star twinkling near the !ori- zon, just making its daily circle around the unmoving pole star above, one of the seven stars of the dipper. Let us note carefully the reintion of that star to the horizon and to the Stars of the surrounding heavens, We have only to take out our watch and make a note of the time. and our astronomical work may be Inid aside for the evening. Tomorrow nxght Jet us come out on deck at the same time and look at the star in its relation to thé@pole star and horizon as before. But the dipper that Was yesterday on the sea line has almost (Jlis- peared below the line. Last night the wake ates ip was pointed toward yonder siar, and now it isa good deal above it, although @ur direction has not changed. We are still going south, but south now is not the same as south then. New stars have arisen on the horizon as others have descended into the sea. At last we reach the equator and we find whe le star itself bas sunk down to the horizon. ‘e see no pole star in the south, but, as cur studies on previous occasion have led us to expect, there isa spot, unmarked by any espe- cially brilliant orb, around which the stars of the southern heavens circle, There is no ex- planation for this, except that we are not trav- eling over a level surface but over a curved one. If we compare the sections of sky that appear in the south or disappear in the north with the number of miles passed over by our ship's log we shall find that they have always been in proportion. We have then been sail- ing or steaming over a great circular arc io- stead of a straight line, as it appeared to be.” THERE ARE OTHER PROOFS than these of the circular character of the earth, the lecturer said. We have only to look out tosea when aship is leaving port. It is now just on the horizon. and presently only the masts are visible agd the hull is seeminly under Water. Something has intervened between the vesse! and the eye. What can this be but the curvéd surface of the ocean? Agrauder and more direct proof than any, if we could only realize it. is that which we get in eclipses of the moon, Before an eclipse be- comes total watchers will see a curved line which marks the tip of the shadow throwu by the earth upon the iunar surface. and ail now that an odject which always casts a reg- ularly and uniformly curved shadow must be « sphere. ‘THE AMOUNT OF CURVETURE. The first illustration, though not so striking 88 some others, 1s the best, for it shows not only that the earth is round but also just what the amount of its curveture 1s, Hence it is found out what its size is as well as its shape. Oue day's voyage on the southward bound steamer brings the star which was seen the night before just appearing above the southern horizon a good distance above the water's edge. “How many such lifts would be required tc bring it up to the zenith right over our heads? Suppose we though that fifteen would be needed. If then we could keep on for 15 days it would be in the zenith, in 30 days it would be there behind us; in 45 it would be down below the horizon, directly under our feet, and in 60 days it would be in the same place again where itis at present. In other words, we would in 60 days have returned to just where we are now. Our log tells us we have traveled 400 miles each day, and 60 times that would be 24,000 miles. ‘Ihis then is the circumference of the globe.” There is still, the lecturer said, a more accu- Fate method than that which he described. By making observations with delicate instruments upon the land, instead of with the log, which is so inaccurate, it has been possible to measure accurately the arc of the meridian, and the true circumference of the earth has thus been ascertained. THE SCIENTIFIC DEMONSTRATION. The lecturer referred to the peculiarities of the earth's shape and its flattening in the re- gion of the poles, and then proceeded to give the scientific demonstration of the fact that the apparent motion of the heavens is really caused by the motion of the earth itself. Ex- Periments show s diminution in the weight of objects as we approach the equator, which shows that the equator is really in motion. A Portion of this dimunition, however, can be ac- counted for by the slight difference in the ro- tundity of the earth at the equator and toward the poles; and to infer from it the earth’s mo- tion it is necessary to assume the nearly uni- form density of the globe. The lecture next Friday afternoon will con- sist of an explanation of the methods by which the distance of the sun and other heavenly bodies has been ascertained and a description of the wonderful revelations which the tele- scope has given us regarding the physical con- stitution of the sun. Itis expected to have this and the future lectures of the course illus- trated by lantern views taken fromthe most distinguished authorities, —_—-__. Hunting Evidence Against Parnell. It is reported that an English agent giving his name as Murry isin Denver on behalf of the London Tones and the lawyer in the O'Shea divorce case against Charles 3. Parnell. The agent has called upon several prominent Irish- wen who refused him a hearing, notwith- standing that he exhibited his credentials from the British foreign oftice and « letter from the inauager of the London Tones, see Miss Anderson’s Reported Engagement. From the Sew York Tribune, Dispatches from Europe were published some weeks ago to the effect that Miss Mary Anderson was engaged to be married to Antonio de Navarro, son of Jose F. de Navarro, and since that time there have been various more of less trustworthy confirmations and contradictions of the report. Another partial confirmation ap- peared yesterday, but the absolute truth of the Story cannot yet be regarded ascertain, Mr. de Navarro said last night that he could not say Positively that Miss Anderson was or was not engaged to his son. He stiould be giad to have it true, as he held Miss Anderson in the highest esteem, but be knew no more than be had read in the papers. dented, however, that he bad sent any congratulatory dispatch to Miss Anderson, as had been reported, and said that it was his own conviction that Miss Anderson Was not likely to marry atall, She and hit fon were the stof friends and had been to- gether in Europe, and though he had not kaown that there wus anything more than friendship between them, yet he couid not say that there Was not, ~ —coo——____ Forming a Sardine Trust. The latest sensation in business circles in London is an internations! corner in sardines, The announcement has caused much anxiety among the fishermen who-live by the sardine fishery on the French Atlantic seaboard. They tremble Jest the bread be taken out of their mouths and English, Belgians and Germans Unite in a surdine syndicate. The sardines usedfor tinning are mostly caught on the coasts of France and Portugal, and the head- quarters of the market is now Nantes. in which town the secret of preparing und timming the delicacy is je@bously guarded. This accounts for the difficulty in effecting a monopoly or transferring the business to another port. The price of canned sardines is already raised, tee ~ Several Hundred Bodies to be Cremated.

The Duke of Aosta, Who Occupied the Spanish Throne for Two Years, Prince Amadeo, duke of Aosta, brother of King Humbert and formerly king of Spain, died at Turin st 7 p.m. Saturday. He was con- seious at the moment of his death and received the pope's blessing from Cardinal Allmanda, The duke died of pneumonia, superinduced by influenza, and had been ill but a few days. He was conscious throughout. As the end ap- proached he turned to the duchegs, smiled and tried to speak. His throat was clogged and he was unable to utter a word, but he seemed to suffer no pain. King Humbert, with the princes, his sons, was by the bedside as his brother died. The death causes great lamen- tation among the people by whom Amadeo, as he was affectionately called, was beloved. He was the most popular of the Italian princes. Amadeo Ferdinand Marie, duke of Aosta, was born at Turin May 30, 1845. , He was the second son of King Victor Emanuel. While still young he became lieutenant general and inspector general in the Italiag arthy, and sub- sequently rear i in the navy. May 1867, he martied Princess Marie, adigkint of Charles Emanuel, prince of Pozzo del Cis- terna. In 1870 he was proposed by Gen, Prim for king of Spain—Marshal Serrano then being regent. The proposition was approved by King Victor Emanuel. subject to the consent of the powers and the Spanish cortes. These consents Were soon obtained. The new king reached Madrid January 2, 1871. Four days before Gen. Prim was assassinated and King Amadeo himself led a life troubled by attemptsat assag- sinatiou by Carlist revolts and by many admin- istrative difficulties, Finally, discouraged, he abdicated the throne unconditionally February 1, 1879, and withdrew to Italy, where he had since lived as duke of Aosta. His first wife having died, he married September 11, 1888, his niece, Princess Letitia ree oes daughter of Prince Jerome Napoicon. He leaves four sons. SS Pastor Sturgis Suspended. Rev. J. R. Sturgis, pastor of Trinity Methodist church, Richmond, Va., one of the largest churches of the state, was suspended by the presiding elder two weeks ago, for writing an improper letter to a married lady of Richmond. The presiding elder laid the case before Bishop Wilson of Baltimore, who sustained the action of the elder and the church is now without a pastor. Key. Mr. Sturgis is about forty-tive years old, has a wife and children and has been & member of the Virginia conference for many years.

Pierra is the present secretary of the all-American asso- ciation, “We are anxious to trade with the United States,” said Senor Acevedo, “and are willing to do better by you than with any Euro- pean country.” The Twin Lords Napier. The death of Lord Napier of Magdala has givev rise to a somewhat curious complication, The dead nobleman left two sons, twins, Robert and George. After much discussion among doctors and nurses as to which entered the world first the family decided that Robert should ipherit the title. George thought of contesting the decision andof appealing to parliament to divide the honors, as there are two titles, Asacompromise the family council, influenced by the fact that Robert, though married, had no children and that’ George must eventually inherit everything, proposes to give George a handsome annuity and one of the titles.

Herman Zeitunger, the fashionable Vienna ladies’ tailor, having decided to come to Paris without paying his fare, on account of failure in business, constructed a packing case in the form of s pyramid, with a flat top as the lid, which was fustened inside by a bolt and half filled with straw. He provided himself with bread, sausages and some botties of water. The case was marked on the outside: ‘This side up. He then ordered the carmen of the railway company to fetch the package and jumped in himself. ‘The jolting on the journey was awful and bone breaking. Sometimes he was left alone for hours, nearly stifled under piles of goods. He reached P: aris after a terri- le journey of sixty hours, nearly dead, and was arrested by the custom house officials and prosecuted for defranding the railway com- re. —-see Reported Bloodshed in Brazil.

Miss Cammerer won her $100,000 suit against her aged Brooklyn lover, but the jury made the damages $12,000. When court adjourned Saturday night with the jury still out Judge Ingraham's instructions were that if an agreement was reached during the night the jury might seal it and go to their homes, while he would open court Sunday morning to ascert the result. The jury did come to a decision before midnight. They sealed the verdict and the foreman tucked it safely away in his inside pocket until morning. At the appointed hour Judge Ingraham took the bench, about two dozen people comprising the audience. Herr Muller, accompanied by Mrs, Richter and Mrs, Erb, was there with a alpable look of moped upon his countenance, Bat Miss Cammerer did not appear, neither did Daniel Dougherty, although Col. ingersoll sat beside his own client. When the jury.were all in their places the court asked the foreman if a verdict had been agreed be my “Yes,” he replied, handing a sealed *docu- | ment to the clerk, who, opened it and read aloud that the verdict was an award to the plaintiff of $12,000. At Col. Ingersoll’s request the jury was polled, after which Judge Ingraham announced | that he would hear any motions which might be made Monday, as he did not wish to do any | more work than was necessary on Sunday. | Then court adjourned. John Doulan, t foreman of the jury, said toa reporter, leaving the court house, that before renee | their verdict a discussion took place whic | lasted over six hours. Mr. Doulan himself and | Juror Carmody favored a verdict of #35,000 for | the plaintiff; others wanted to give ber sums | ranging from $3,000 to $12,000, and four stood absolutely against her in favor of the defend- ut. “Muller ought to be pretty well pleased. He is getting off mighty easy at that.” Col. Ingersoll told the reporters as he was leaving the court room that he would carry the case up to the court of last resort. Mr. Lewis expressed satisfaction over the result. Miss Cammerer was likewise pleased, as she regards the verdict in the light of a vindication. The Warrant Served on Powderly. General Master Workman Powderly was well enough to walk out in Scranton, Pa., Saturday, and the warrant for his arrest, eworn out by Mr. Callaghan, was served upon him by Constable Moran, Mr. Powderly at once proceeded to Al- derman Fuller’s office in company with his attor- ney, Joseph O’Brien, and gave oail in the gum of | 300 to auswer in the Westmoreland court.

Members of the family of Frederick Smith were reading the papers in the basement din- ing room of their home in Brooklyn, after breakfast yesterday morning when a big yel- low dog, snarling, snapping and foaming at tho mouth, sprang over the area railing and through the window into the room, preceded | by a shower of glass, He did not seem to no- tice the occupants of the basement and began butting his head wildly against the opposite wall. All the people in the room ran into the hall and shut the door behind them. Then Mr. Smith went outand got a policeman, The dog was exhausted when the policeman arrived, and the latter killed him with his club. No- body in the neighborhood seemed to know who | owned the dog. ——— Francis Joseph Not to Abdicate. ‘The report of the intended abdication of the | emperor of Austria is officially and emphati- | cally denied. The story, though so persistent- | ly circulated, has no foundation whatever, His majesty is much annoyed by these rumors, sds pes a Polyandrous Women, From the New York Sun. In a recent letter from a member of the expe- dition that is surveying the boundary line be- tween Alaska und Canada the writer says he has met tribes on the upper Yukon river where it is not uncommon for the women to have two or more husbands. He speaks of the people as miserably poor and it is an interesting fact that this is the condition of the people iu all parts of the world among whom the practice of poly- | andry prevails. Mr. Rockhill found an oppor- tunity a year ago to observe this custom, which exists to a considerable extent along his route in eastern Thibet and among the Mongols ott the Tsaidam, His explanation is that the soil capable of culture being very limited the tribes | who live chiefly by tillage and herding find it im- | 3 ssible to have one or more wives for each man, fis therefore the custom for the brothers in a family to have only one wife among them, and while one brother goes on trading journeys and another looks after the live stock, their wife manages the household and is the general manager aud counselor. Jt is not from choice, then, but from neces- sity that some savage people in all parts of the world pragtice polyandry. Richer and more comfortable savages have one or more wives apiece or even support harems. One would ex- pect, therefore, that in far northern regions, where the conditions of life ure most severe and food most difficult to obtain, polyandy would chiefly be found, and, in fuct, no where is the custom more widely prevalent than in the thinly peopled northern part of this conti- nent and chiefly among the tribes of Alaska, As far east as Hudson Bay. if polyandry does not exist as an institution, there is at least romiscuity in the married relation, and Es- eno there, starting on long hunting expedi- tions, are often accompanied by the wives of other members of the tribe, who are loaned for the occasion. Among the Alaskan Eskimo every man is en- titled to as many wives as he can get, but as women are not frequently in the minerity the men cheerfully accommodate themselves to the | situation, and two or more of them live in a hut with one woman, In the rugged wilderness inhabited by the Koniagas, further south, Mr. Bancroft says two husbands are allowed to one woman, One of the husbands, however. occu- pies an inferior position in the household, and is lord and master there only when the other man is not around the premises, ‘The many remnants of tribes which practise iyandry in the region of the Central African Exes seem to owe the custom to their misfor- tunes, They were preyed upon by Arab slave dealers or stronger tribes until they lost the larger number of their womens the most highly prized spoils of war, and being unable to restore the numerical equality of the sexes, each woman became the wife of several men, and the children, calling all the villagers father or mother, belonged not to the family, butto the community. The custom of plur husbands, originating in violence, finullybe- came a sort of social law, and is regarded as praiseworthy. None of the warlike and powerful tribes practices polyandry, und it may be accepted 4s 4 general rule 4 savage polygamists are comparatively well to do and successful in war, while the polyandrists form the more miserable and helpless communities, Dropped Dead at a Shooting Contest; D.

Avery general opinion is entertained by Medical practitioners and others engaged in caring for the sick that the greatest number of deaths ovcurring in individuals afflicted with disease takes place during the hours immedi- ately succeeding midnight and preceding the dawn. This opinion most probably originates in part from imperfect observation and partly from a misapplication of the physiological law governing the lowest period of vitality in the healthy individual. The rule is said to be par- ticularly true in those suffering from chronic exhausting diseases, and deductions have been drawn from these impressions which have served to regulate the administration of stimu- lants in such cases, it being said “‘if six ounces of whisky be needed in twenty-four hours; four should be administered from 2 to 6 a.m., for then is vitality in the human being at its low- est,” and “more deaths occur then than at any other period. Such expressions may be found scattered through works on materia medica and sthera- peutics and in many of the text books on the practice of medicine. The idea finds expres- sion also in the lectures of teachers in our col- jeges and usually leaves a well-grounded im pression on the mind of the medical studen' which is apt to remain a permanent one. accepted this teaching at college because I had neither means nor the time to verify or dis- prove it to my own satisfaction, Yet I alw: loubted the correctness of the conclusions drawn and, to settle the doubt in my mind, since erate on my duties at the hospital, I have collected the statistics given below, which I find do not agree with this generally accepted Thinking that they may interest others, and that the small mistakes in a subject are sometimes and to certain people as important as the greater, I present them. ‘The statistics are taken from the tecords of the charity hospital on the one hand and from the books of the New York board of health on the other. The former are mainly of deaths occurring in those afilicted with chronic ex- hausting diseases; the latter, in thoso dying from the acute exanthemata. The former rep- resents all the deaths at the hospital fora period of nearly ten years, irrespective of sex, age, disease or condition; the latter, all the deaths occurring in the city and county of New York from the acute contagious diseases, At the hospital the records of death are kept with great care, and £ am sure can be taken as a fair test, I have no doubt that the health authori- ties’ records are also accurate, but they are the result of individual reporters, so that they are not so reliable as those of the hospitals, There are pra! circumstances that should greatly tend to increase the death rate at night in a large public hospita!, principal among which is the great vitiation of the atmosphere during this period. During the night all the patients are confined to the ward and ventilation is apt to be neglected. This must certainly have a very depressing effect on those suffering with pulmonary affection and on those in whom disease has effected extensive alterations in the Pueeal and chemical characters of the blood, ‘his alone should greatly tend to increase the number of deaths at night, and, if there was any truth in the accepted notion, the records should show quite a preponderance of deaths happening at night. The contrary is, however, the rule, the fignres showing 27 cases fewer from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. than for the correspond- ing twelve hours of the day. Again, from 2 to 6 p,m. there were no more deaths than from 2,to 6 a.m. The total number of deaths in the list of acute diseases for twelve hours from bl ped to 6 a.m. is 169 less than for the corresponding period during the day, The huurs from 2 to 6 a.m. in this list show 53 cases more than for the corresponding period in the afternoon; this in nearly 4,000 cases is very shght, In the chronic cases the greatest num- ber of deathy at any one hour was at 4 p.m., with 2and 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. close following; the greatest in the acute list at 3 a.m., with 11 a.m. and p.m. close following. The lowest number in the acute list at 12 m. (midnight), that hour so dreaded in the sick room by at- tendants, and to which a good deal of superstition attaches. It is noticeable that the number for this hour is exceedingly low—about half of the average number. In the chronic diseases the lowest num- ber appears at 9a.m. In the chronic cases the number dying from 9 a.m, to 12 m. (noon) seems relatively low compared with the same period in the acute list. I have used all the ligures available ut the hospital and I only stopped when tho death books available were exhausted. I only sought the health board's Statistics for the purpose of comparison and, as the figures run up quickly, I thought two records would serve as well ax a longer period. In making the collections I noticed that the figures did not vary essentially throughout. There was always a preponderance of deaths in favor of the hours of the day, while the indi- vidual hours would vary by comparison at dif- ferent periods.

The only very positive conclusions I have formed from the figures aro: 1. That the idea that more deaths take place in the early morning hoursis Qn erroneous one. 2. If stimulants are to be pushed in disease duting these hours, the prac- tice must be justified upon some other ground than to avert the possibility of danger supposed to be very probable at this period. 3, That the Vitality of an individual in disease is not regu- lated by the same influences or subject to the same laws that govern the vitality of a healthy human being, the normal equilibrium main-’ tained in health between the mental and physi- cal states being altered.
