ASTRONOMY. .
—
its Exactness lllustrated by the Dis
covery of Neptune.
There is perhaps no more striking §
jllustration of the power of scientific
method than that reldfing to the dis
covery of Neptune in 1846. The planet
Uranus, until then the outermost
known membet of our solar system,
refused to follow the path computed
for it by mathematical astronomers.
With the progress of time the discrep
ancies between' its predicted and ob
served positions grew constantly larger.
until in the early eighteen-forties the
discordance, amounted to fully seven
ty-five seconds of arc. This is a small
angle, not more than qno—twenty-flfth
the angular diameter of our moon, yet
a very large angle to refined astrom
omy, for 3 discrepancy of two seconds
would have been detected with ease.
The opinion gradually developed that !
Uranus was drawn from, it natural |
course by the attractions’ of an undis- |
covered planet still farther from the !
sun than itself. Adams in 1843 gnd
Le. Verrier in 1845 independently and
each without knowledge of the other’s
plans attacked the then extremely aif
ficult problem of determining the ap
proximate orbit, mass and, position of
an undiscovered body whose attrac
tions should produce the perturbations
obseryed. Regrettable and avoidable
delays occurred in searching for the
planet after Adams’ results were com
municated to the astronomer royal in
October, 1845. . Le Verrier's results
were communicated to the Berlin ob
gervatory in September, 1846, with the
request that a search be made. The
disturbing planet, later named Nep
tune, wag found on the first eyening
that it was looked for less than one
~degree of arc from the position as
signed by Le Verrier. If -an energetic
gearch had been made in England the
year before the planet would have
been discovered within two degrees of
the position assigned by Adams.—Pro
fessor W. W. Campbell in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

the “czarliberfitor,” the wijow of a
distinguished general endeavored “to
obtaln an gppointment in a certain
ministry for "her only son, a young
man of superior education and intelli

widow to reserve the first occurring
vacancy in his department. Sshe wait:
ed in vain for'the fulfillment of the
promise and twice yepeated her appeal
by letter. She ledrned, too, that in the

her if she had inclosed a gift of money

’ “Why, certainly not, your majesty.
I should not dare put such an affront
‘upon his excellency.” ‘
' “Do not trouble yourself about the
affront, ‘'madame,” replied the czar,
“but renew your proshenie to the min.
ister and inclose¢ £I,OOO to him.”
“But I' have no such sum of money,
your” majesty,” said the widow dole
fully.,
“Oh, as to-that, I will lend you the
money, and the minister will no doubt
repay me, and you will inform me,
please, of the result of your renewed
application with the inclosure.”
The widow sent her son to the min.
ister with the £I,OOO lent by the czar
inclosed withy a politely written note,
the result befng that the young man
recelved theydesired appointment the
same day.
" About a week later the minister had
just concluded his customary official
report ‘to the czar when his majesty
observed, “By the way, there is a very
intelligent and promising young man,
the son of the late General —, for
whom you.can perhaps find a fairly
