He bad made a telescope for him self, an.imperfect instrument com pared with those which we have to -day but better than any he had the mean to purchase. He was trying it out 1 a sort of grand survey of the heaven when there fell within its field stranger to this shepherd of the stars It was a faint point of light agains the night sky, with a slight, greenis tinge. Sir William did not suspect, at first that it was a planet, a hitherto un known member of that group which circles about the San, and to which on world belongs. The planets Sir Wil liam knew bad never been discovere —that Is to say within the memory o the race. Man had grown up with Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter an Saturn as bis familiar companions. He had become well acquainted with their movements. He had woven them into his myths and his religion, H had made them arbiters of his des tiny, and read his future in their pass age through the signs of the zodiac. It did not occur to the astronomers who . joined with Sir William In ob serving this new body, that its die covery bad pushed the boundary o the solar system further into space. For a time it was called Herschell, after its discoverer, but the name now generally accepted is Uranus, which preserves the mythological nomencla- ture already bestowed on the others. Uranus was oldest of the Greek gods and the first ruler among them. The astronomers, after watching him for a while, began to calculate the di- mensions of his orbit, the speed of his motion and other interesting facts concerning him. They reached certain ooncluslons based upon all the known factors. Uranus should behave thus and so. At a certain time he should be here—at another certain time he should be there. And be was—approximately. But approximation did not satisfy the star -gazers. They wanted exactitude. They checked back their calcula- tions and found no errors. Whatever was wrong, they decided, must be wrong with Uranus. Something was divesting him from the path they had charted for him, or interfering with the schedule which mathematics In slsted he should follow. Adams, an English astronomer, and Leverrler, a Frenchman, set them- selves to search for some possible cause of the perturbations in the habits of Uranus, They worked inde- pendently and without the knowledge of either that the other was on the job. But each reached a theory that there must be some remoter body In Ne r t- d. the solar eyetem whose influence was affecting the new planet, Then each figured out about - where that body ought to lie In order to produce the effects which they had noted, Adams arrived at a'theoretical pos tion first—a few months ahead of Le verrier, He sent his calculations an hypothesis to the British astronome royal for verification by telescope, bu the latter was too busy to attend to it However the observatory to which Leverrier soon after sent almost ex acUy similar calculations began a immediate search, and presently an nounced the discovery of an eight planet whose position and nature ex piained completely all the mysteries s of the seventh's movements. This a eighth and last to be 'discovered o s the planets was named Neptune. We a have known him only since 1846. I confess that two billion miles -- more or less -is a long way to travel for e, life lesson, but it has always seemed to me that in this very won- derful, and very beautiful, story of the manner in which we found an un- suspected member of our solar sys- tem by noting the influence of his un - r seen presence, is a splendid illustra- cl tion of a truth fundamentally import- ant to right and effective living. The visible world will not account for all that we see in human life and d character, If you take into your calculation only those obvious factors which con- cern the preservation and satisfac- e tion of physical life you w111 leave - much unexplained. • Given all such circumstances In any particular instance you may be able to figure exactly bow a man will act—if - they be the only circumstances. But experience will show that men f frequently do not act according to any prediction so formulated. Men do things which are contrary to every instinct of self-preservation— , men deny themselves material satis- faction for ends which have no rela- tion .to their physical life—men saerl- lce themselves to serve their fellows 1—often to serve people they do not know-, sometimes to serve people they know and dislike. Why these perturbations in the cal- culable orbit? Why these departures from the so-called "natural" course? Is it not because there must be some mighty influence Invisible to the unaid- ed eye, the physical eye, which is pull- ing upon the life of man, even as Nep- tune pulled upon Uranus? l I am convinced th gnnedg BY S.

Heather Jock lived at the Back o' Beyont, Jock's name was baptismally John Kinstrae, but he had so long borne the appellation of Heather Jock that he actually started when any one milled him John. And it is on record, that when a new minister with a copy of the communion roll in his pocket asked him by the wayside where "Mr. Kinstrae" lived, Jock replied, "Fegs,1 sir, I dinna ken him—he's ue a here- aboots man!"

With these he sup- plied the good wives of half the Stew- artry, and had been known to venture as far as Wigtonshire with his pre-' duce.
