WniT THE TV0KLD MAI EXPECT KFXT rWJtlTTEX TOR THE DIBPATCIL! Very early in his career as an astronomer Prof. E. E. Barnard began the study of the planet which so recently rewarded him with the discovery which places his name beside that of Galileo. Fifteen years ago, when he was a young man of 20, he purchased his first teisscope a five-inch refracting glass !rom his earnings as a photographer in hU native JTashville. All day he labored to secure the happiest expressions of mor tals and found recreation at night in study ing the no less varying faces ol the stars. Jupiter especially enchanted his imagina tion. So large, so distant, its measurements beyond human comprehension, it presented the most inviting field for investigation. Its moons, themselves stars'of the sixth mag nitude, with atmospheres of their own, sur faces diversified with dusky markings, varying in size, shape and brightness, con stantly enacting dramatic incidents of eclipse and transit with attendant phe nomena, kept interest alive and speculation lively. The projection or the vast cone of the planet across the three inner satellites, the ink-black shadows of the moons drag ging their footsteps in transit, their total disappearance upon the dazzling surface of the jovian center all these were full of fascination.

Quips by celestial speculatirn alone, even thongh he be a young astronomer with his soul full of enthusiasm. Vanderbilt University had rewards out for comets, and so, when ever this young man ran short of funds, he took his little six-inch glass and became a Vidocq, picking Tiis course along the heavenly highways and byways, prying here and there among the worlds. In this way he turned up no less than five of these long-haired nomads in a very short while and got $200 a piece for them at the univer sity. His feelings, as may well be imag ined, were far different from those of the poetic alarmist who iriglitened the poor groping souls of the dark ages with his song ot That long streaming star Which threatens earth with lamlne, plague and war. It was the lack of comets wherein lay the threat of famine with him. After the first formal introduction these eccentric bodies seemed somehow to kno.v him and to like him, for after all he onlyTeported them. The great Vanderbilt institution, with all its learning, could not disturb them. They seemed to throw themselves in the way of his little glass, for never in the history ot stargazing did any man except Pon, the Frenchman, bring so many comets to book. The Comets Brought Him Fame. But Barnard's friends, the comets, brought him not only -what first he needed most funds. Fame came also among them. He was made assistant in the observatory at Vanderbilt, and his observations there secured for him the appointment of assist ant at Iiick when it was opened in 1887. And the use of the 36-inch glass? Nay, there was another man. nominally director bis name is spoken not in Gath who pro posed to Have all the honors attached to the great equatorial himself. It was danger ous at Lick to be too keen of vision. But genius is, among other things infinite pa tience. Prof. Barnard did not complain. He bad a better glass in the 12-inch tele scope than he possessed betore and went right on conquering new worlds. In 1SS9 he made a remarkable discovery oi four satellites to the Brooks comet He pierced the nebula of Orion and found a new star, and in observing the star Beta in Capricorn! during its occultation by the moon be noticed that its disappearance was not instantaneous, but a gradual extinction.

This is one ot the most difficult discoveries ever made. Then he found the nebula near Merope in the Pleiades with more than a hundred other nebulse in regions heretofore consid ered poor in nebulosity. In addition to the discovery of the new comets he fol lowed the course of the old ones to compute their orbits, often observing them for a year after they had passed from the visiou of every other observatory in the world. Utilized HU Knowledge of Fliotography. His knowledge of photography enabled him to picture the milky way, showing for the first time not only the brighter stars but their nebulosity. His photographs of the corona at the time of the eclipse ot 1889, with a pon-photographio telescope were re markable contributions to our knowledge of solar corona. He observed the transparency of the crape ring of Saturn during the eclipse of a Saturnian satellite; the phenomena of the "Gegenschein," a faint light seen at .night nearly opposite the sun.

A Night a Week With the Big One. Last February when tho now star In Auriga was engaging the attention of the astronomers he chafed against his restric tions. The great lens mocked him with its rower and reproached him with its five years' practical idleness. Abroad its claims were derided; it had done nothing to re deem its promise of large results. He ap pealed to the directory. Directories are slow to act the new star passed out of range and July came before a grudging permission was given him to have the full use of the equatorial one night oi each week. The results of this ere soon seen. The new star had swung into sight again and was quickly announced us the nucleus of a nebula and no longer a star. This f jugular and hitherto unknown chance ot character has since been confirmed by spectroscopic observations at Mt. Hamilton and elsewhere Now, after but two months of restricted use of the equatorial, Prof. Barnard has startled the world with a discovery as sen sational as that made three centuries ago, and to which until this time no further knowledge has been added. For 300 years ambitious observers had turned each larger glass upon the Jovian system, only to find that all their science and inventions re vealed but little more than did the Dutch toy with which the Paduan professor amused (he courts of the Quirinal and the Vatican. The Discovery of tho Tilth Moon. On the night of September 0 Prof. Barnard satin the observatory on the lonely heights of Mount Homilton. The great glass through which he gazed mounted the skies to keep pace with the planet upon which it was fo cused. Long before twilight had faded or the planet had lifted itself from the midst of the horizon its disk was perceptible, and as it reached a clear altitude it shone with a bailliancy which dominated the noctural sky. The opposition approached to culmi nate on the 12th of October. Early in July, in anticipation of the even t,v Prof. Barnard had made his appeal to the direetory, and thcrealtcr Friday saw him stationed where he could sweep the sky with the great lens. ir i .- ELECTION SETS Are these Hoffman House gentlemen really staking thousands on the result?

Incidentally, while waiting for Jupiter to swing into the circle of observation, he found the truth about the new star in Auriga a transformation never before observed ot a temporary or variable star and which set several fine theories by the ears. It was a month yet until th opposition when conditions would be most favorable, yet Prof. Barnard was at his post. Slowly the growing disk of the planet emerged lrom the mists of the eaatern horizon and mounted the sky. Through the glass the four moons Ganymede, Europa, Io and Calypso circled with varying splendor, not with wan faces like our moon, but with n brightness equal to that ol the planet itself. A Spark From Great Jupiter. Suddenly the cloud envelope of Jupiter parted, or some obscuring atmosphere cleared, and a tiny point ot light was re vealed as near to the surface of its parent as the distance oi the diameter of the earth a spark, as it were, in the track f a can non ball. The body itself is insignificant, but its very insignificance makes it conceiv able that it may not be solitary. In the cloud strata 6f Jupiter may be hundreds like it, (raiments ot a disintegrating planet or solidifying nebula to be reabsorbed by a rudimentary one. It affords food for the widest speculation in thegenesis of systems. How did this body come there? That it is there is instantly accepted, although an astronomer as renowned as Schiaparelli was at first laughed at for his pains 'u lien he an nounced the geometric lines dn Mars. Such is Prof. Barnard's reputation for care, nrcnracv anil iutecrritv of observation, for conservatism of theory, for brilliant achieve-' ments.

A SWEEPING CRUSADE The Zeeley League Asks for a Vreat Temperance Alliance. ALL THE OLD ORGANIZATIONS requested to Join Hands With It In a New Style of Campaign. PEANOIB MURPHI'J OHNIOX OP IT A circular has just been issued by the authority of the Executive Board of the Keeley League, approved by the President and signed by tho National Secretary Treasurer, J. M. Kellv, of this city. It is entitled "The Mission of tho Keeley League." The Keeley leagues, the circular says, are not the bi-chioride of gold clubs of a mouth ago. They stand upon a broader and firmer basis, with the constitu tional machinery in operation that privi leges every honest man and woman to lend lull and equal co-operation. Any man or woman who feels that he or she would like to aid the work of the league, is privileged to join the organization. They take title ot honorary members, but can have full voice and vote in the proceedings. The women, the mothers of the country, can organize separate from the leagues, if they so agree, and while they aid the drunkar I to a cure they can guard the young from tempta tion. The ultimate mission of the Keeley Xeague is to wipe out the saloon. As a preliminary it desires to form an organiza tion in every city, town and Jiamlet in America. To do this, says the circular, we want the co-operation of every man and woman who carps lor humanity. We Can get this most expeditiously by the present temperance unions, with their machinery of organization.

"We who have experienced the miseries of ine briety propose helping the miscrabies who are siren up to tho police and the crnel justice df the law. The State which sup ports them will be asked to cure them. The question here assumes an economic phase, and the taxpayer will agree to it. These laws will be passed, and the practi cal branch of our work will be accom plished. How to Accomplish tho Mission. How can the saloon be aunihilated? asks the circular. It answers thus: Since the discovery of the Keeley cure they are no longer a necessity. No man must have a drink now,-or, to be more moderate, no man ousht to need drink ten years hence, if the mission ot the' Keeley League is properly appreciated by the world. We have the solution ot the liquor problem in our hands. We can mate the saloon unprofit-.. able by curing the drunkard, thus closiug the saloon, taking away temptation, and preventing another generation of drunkards from sprouting. Let us consider the conditions. We can cure the drunkard and he is anxious to be cured. But does that suffice? Assnredlv not. Too often the drunkard is like a child thrust upon the world and told to make its way. lie must carve out new associations, new ideas and mend his morals. He often cannot do it alone. Old associations, re morse over wasted opportunities or melan choly, may cause him to drink aain and become diseased tonce more. These men are exceptions, for, as a rule, those who re turn to drinking after having once taken the Keeley treatment, can be classed under three heads. First, the boy who is still in the temptation period, who has not had a surfeit ot "fun," is not diseased, who has never experienced the bitter end of the affliction. Second, the man whose tastes arc depraved, whose morals are bad, w ho. thus prefers association with his beastly nature than. with his redeemed manhood; and third, those whom the disease ot drunk enifess has also eaused disease in other re pects in the organs of the body, or the brain. The treatment for inebj-iety can only eradicate that one disease. .It cures with never a failure, but it does not re Mm, am I WMik I n'i W'i i IjmMji i the best soap made beware of imitations i i-sg T I . 1 i Mi i y How's the bank of British Xorth America?

"Where tho Alliance TVIU Help. So the league is asking for aid from the old temperance organization?. Combining their help with its own power the foe is t ba vanquished; the youns are to be kept, from temptation; the alreadv diseased aroj, to be cured and the backsliders are to ba" cared for and reclaimed. This includesj evervbodr, so there will be no patronagafl for the saloon. Then it will die. e3j The circular savs to the old temperance organizations: "As we have the method atsS last, why not join as in the annihilation ofj the liquor traffic? Francis Murphy said toB the writer, that when he firt learned of thejfi existence of the Keeley League, he de4I clared it wonld become the one successful organization, and that he has had no occa- sinn since to change his views. He is sat isfied, with the grace of God, to receive the? signature to the pledge ot the yonng and of -J those who can combat the disease, but they-S whom he cannot reach, or if he momentarl ly arouses, they are unable to continue to1 resist the disease, he says: 'Send them toll Keely.' He fully appreciates the ally of J medicine. If so successful an advocate oCn temperance as Francis Murphy can so talk, where is the temperance leader, or the tern pernnce organization that can afford to lag, behind?" . The circular is couched in somewhat!' extravagant language but contains somojj interesting statements. For instance as tog permanence of core: "Every individuals case of disease treated has been thoroughly and surelv cured. If tho victim drinks again, he must necessarily recultivatethaa disease." " gg Here is a definition of a drunkard: ."Any man who has drunk long enough to desiral a drink the morning aftera night's deJ bauck is diseased. If he is sick alter sleepS ing, he has a habit. If his stomach demands! drink, after a drunken night, he is diseased."!! Once diseased there is small cbance'.ofJj recovery, other tbanbv medical treatment. VM Oar Ios Is Tour Gain.
