A “Hew Moon.’’ The earth io richer than baa hereto fore been supposed, says the Spring« j field Republican. It has two satellites instead of ooe. The second mcon of ( the earth, long suspected by astronoa | ■sere, baa been announced by Dr I George Waltensath, of Hamburg, an the Martians have leas reason to erow 1 over os than they have bad, with tbeir four moons. ■ . Pis a very small moon that the German professor has discovered, a lit lie more than 94 miles io diameter, 1-123 of the big moon in volume, 1 30 io mass—weighidg, in fact, about 10,- 406,250,000,000.000 tone. It revolves around the earth at aboot 2 7 rimes the distance of our old moon,in an average of 177 days. Now that it has been fixed, it can be observed even by the naked eye, it is said. Il has been the cause of certain discordances and accelerations of tbe moon’s motion which have puzsled as* tronomers, and its shadow accounts for certain curious spots on the sun’s disk (not sun spots) ; and it is io search ing for tbe explanation of these things that astronomers since 1700 have been busy. D-. Waltemath’s find explains all these. We have thus a good many more eclipses of the sun than we ever knew; and, although tbe little body can only eclipse a little portion of tbe sun’s sphere, it does the best it can, and »honld not be blamed. In fact, there ia something pathetic in the picture of this modest little toy globe, which could easily be patch ed on the earth between this city and Albany, or Bortot-- though that might of course make it nnuomlortab'e for tbe earth, not to mention tbe dwellers in such part of the country. It recalls to mind Edward Everett Hale’s ‘‘Brick Moon,” end the fact that it is described as a "email reddish disk with white streak*’’—certainly sug gestive of bricks and mortar —would lead to a fair presumption that Dr. Hale did not really know what became of his interesting satellite. Aside from which tbe discovery is another won der of the inexhaustible marvels of as tronomy. ■ CASTORIA For Infanta and Children. Ttetu- y 9 - . etusutr 'r/ 1-i* -f* mrj LETTEB LIST.
