Th- .h.rvrr may remember that last year this plum l wu at the point K, Figure 1. lint sini-e th"-n In Its long 30-year Journey h round the Jieavens.

Through a moderutely large telescope the greenish ball, with Us delicate s.lHdlngs and the wonderful rings ahii-h encircle It. form a most lieautlful and Interesting olject. The largest moon. Titan, is visible even in a small tescope. while on a clear flight a glass of three or four Inches' aperture will show four more, but the fainteet al'lllt . are only vixllile In the very largest telescopes. The planet is 73.00(1 mlle in diameter, and is whlrl'tig around on Its axis with such velocity that points on ltw equator are earned forward more than 22.000 mil's an hour. It Is of such great size that It has not' yet cooled kufnclently to have formed crust, the whole mass Is so expanded by Its enormous heat that It is tight er than water. But the most wonderful feature of 'this system is the strange rings which -surround the planet. These appear! as a flat circular disc 173.000 miles across and only &t miles In thickness, their shape being almoat exactly that of a dkse rat from thin paper. The rings weigh very little (their mass is so small that their pull on the satel lites, of Saturn is not sufficient to dis turb the motions of these little bodies In the slightest measurable degree) end it is now known that they ere ' merely a swarm of countless meteor ic particles, each revolving in Its own orbit about the planet. As to the site of these little bodies we know very little. They may be similar to , the meteoric stones which fall on the earth, or they be as a mere dust film of wreath of fog. In the latter case it Is pror-jtl that viewed from fca- . tarn they wosld only appear as a faint arch spanning the sky and not at all the conspicuous objects tbey seem to as. ........ Many astronomers believe that our own .faint zodiacal light is a simitar Hat ring of particles which surrounds ' the sua and extends beyond the orbit of the earth.' - v At present ttje earth and son are both below the plans of Saturn's . rings, as shewn in Figure J, and we see these wet widened out, bat they 4 .

Besides the remarkable Demon Star, Algol, at (J. Figure 1. there are two rapid va riables which- are 1n very favorable nosltion In September. Both of these are Just too. faint to be seen with the naked eye, out smau telescope or field glass 'will show them clearly. The first is a sixth magnitude star at H.F.iure 1. which at an Interval of every I days hours t seconds sinks NORTH at p. m., September 1st. suddenly to the ninth magnitude; the second at K. Figure 1, is a seventh magnitude star, which every 2 days 11 hours 50 minutes fades to the tenth magnitude. With the help of Figure the possessor of a small tel escope ran readily find these two stars. To one who has never wit nessed it before, the spectacle of a fixed bright star suddenly fading away or even disappearing entirely is very striking. Each of these stars Planet Saturn. seems to disappear In a small tele scope because It is partly eclipsed hy a dark companion which revolves around it. Disappearances of H will occur on September 3, S p. m.; Sep tember 7, 6 a. m.. and September 13, 11 p. m. Those of K will occur at 4 s. m. on September 11, and 16 at 2 a.m.' THE HARVKST MOON.

CENTUJtT. The first decade of the nineteenth, century aaw the successful application of steam to navigation. It is more than possible that the first decade of the twentieth will not close before the problem of flying- has been solved. Among American Investigators In this Held, none, has toiled more pal nstak Ingly than have tho Wright brothers. The article which heads the table of contents of this month's i Century, which ia their own description of their Aeroplane, Is fascinating." They have not as yet attained .complete success, but thd future is big- with possibilities lor mem. :- ? i - .v.-'i The last article In the number Is a most appropriate complement to the first, being an account of "The Early Years of Robert Fulton: -, by A"c Crary - Sutcliffe.-. The scenes- of his early Ufa in Pennsylvania, and his first groping steps towards his great invention are full of interest. . . William M. -Crook waa a special policeman attached to :ther White House during the-War and Recon struction, and the' .Irst - part of his Andrew Johnson In the White Houa" presents a remarkable figure fn a somewhat new light. President Johnson was at such bitter, variance with most, of the public men of his time, that their reminiscences of hint are apt to be rather vitriolic, as is particularly the case with certain recollections of Senator Stewart and General Schurx which have teen'pubr llshed in the last few months. But with all his faults, he had many lov able qualities, and Mr. Crook brings these out very cleairly. Robert Hlchens' paper on fcgypt has for its subject this month the temples "Edfu" and "Kora Ombros." The author has Infused into his charming paragraphs something which grips and holds the readers Imagination, even as his own must have been gripped and held when he stood within the precincts of those nclent shrines. Grace Elle.ry Channlng's "The Con fusion o fldols" pictures" the city wo man longing for rural simplicity in contrast with a sensible farmer's wife, who Is striving for city advantages, also with a vittw to, bringing greater simplicity into her' hardworking life. "The Vagrants of the Barren" by Charles U. I. Roberts la. a thrilling story of a woodsman's fight with V northern blizzard. Owen Johnson contributes one of his inimitable Law rence vl lie stories In "The Run That Turned the Game." The Century has published many poems in the past which have taken a permanent place In American litera ture, but Aldls Dunbar's "The Spur" need not shun, comparison with any of these for beauty of thought and expression. THK SEPTEMBER M'CLURE'S. (ieorge Kennan has made transla tions of selections from the suppress ed memoirs of the Russian General Kuropatkln. the first installment of which appears In this number. It has to do with the Inside politics which preceded the outbreak of the war with Japan. For many months before the actual rupture, the author, who was Minister of War, together with Lamsdorf. Wltte and other prominent officials, did everything possible to avert the impending hos tilities. The story of how their efforts were rendered vain by the anxiety of the Czar to protect certain private financial Interests the Imperial family had In Korea, Is a most Interesting one, and thhows a rather sinister light on the character of His Majesty Nicholas H. Carl Schurz' memoirs which have been in course of publica tion for many months, are brought In this issue to the point where their preparation was Interrupted by the death of their distinguished author. This last Installment deals with Gen eral Schurz' election to the Senate, and the early days of Grant's first ad ministration. It Is very much to be regretted that General Schurx did not live to complete those deljghtful re collections, as It s, they form a most valuable contribution to our historical literature. Another set of memoirs, equally in teresting, though very different. Just now running in McCiure'e,, are those of Miss Ellen Terry. The latest -Installment Is entitled "From Lewis Carrol to" Bernard Shaw," and besides these two personages, deals with re miniscences of Mr. Gladstone, Lord Randolph Churchill, J. M. Barrle, John Oliver Hobbes and others. Harry Graham's "In the Shadow of the Scaffold" has the last hours of Charlotte Corday. as Its theme. Scarcely an episode in history lends itself more readily to artistic treat ment than this. Without needing to deviate a hairbreadth from historical accuracy, the story furnishes "mater ials for a great tragedy. The present tale is excellent in its portrayal of Charlotte herself, of the brutal deputy who plagued, and the young painter lover who soothed her last hours. "The House of Music" by Ger trude Hall Is built around the selfish egotism of a brute who happened to be endowed with heavenly tenor voire. It Is notable for its accurate and careful character drawing. Of the remaining fiction may be mentioned "The Americanizing of Andre Francois" by 8tella Wynne Herron, and "A Cavalry Pegassus hy Will Adams, both of which are charming. , THE SEPTEMBER SMART SET. The cleverest contribution, to this number was reserved by the publish ers to bring up the rear. Toodles" by Ethel Grant Is considerably the most artistic story presented. The man and wife in the story have been estranged by the former's too absorb ing, Interest In the baby, and conse quent Indifference to his wife. Her revolt against this attitude, and their final reconciliation are very prettily deplete. - "The Woman - In the Case," by Christian Reld Is written In somewhat more tragic key. The Interest in the tale Is much heightened by the fine contrast between the strong unselfish heroine and the frivolous flirt whose selfishness comes ' near wrecking everything, hot finally eventuatesln happiness for two people at least - "Particular Parmalee. by Mrs. Luther Harris Is an extremely credit able piece of , work. The manner In which little BetUna weighs the tomoous soul of Parmalee. and find- Ling it wanting- casta It asldo, makes fascinating reading. "The Oolden us ' by Helen FTanres ExcKixrvr health adticic ' mm II. M. Davison, of No n QfrTord At., Ren Jose.

Huntingdon exhibits a man's friend ship fox his' comrade in .such nobis and tender light as to make up for that author's crime of. crimes the picturing -of a thoroughly ease and unworthy woman. , . . I lighter vein "The' Fidelity "or Flfine," by Katherine Metcair Roof has to do with a laughable misadven ture which befell an unsophisticated American student in Paris; which Ar bor Judd Regan's "Letters to a Creditor" - contains some y sprightly satire on modern business ways. - Departing from its usual custom, the Smart Set presents no complete novelette this month, but merely the nrst installment of. Gertrude Ather ton's "The Gorgeous Isle." It elves promise of sustaining tthe reputation of Its brilliant author. SMITH'S MAGAZINE FOR SEPTEM BER. The photographic art studies In this month's issue are models of beauty. Half ef them aro taken from Lew Fields' "Girl Hehlnd the Counter,'- the remainder being classic poses of such subjects as "Meditation," "At . the Bath," and "Innooence." "A Leaf in the Wind." by 8. Carle ton is dramatic . and refreshingly clever. The plot is well constructed and the narrative moves swiftly to Its tense and highly exciting close.' The short fiction is- unusually good, the best of It being "The Bringing Out of Beatham" byHolman F. Day which is a story it political craft and how the tables were turned on the grafters. "At Pettlpaug" by Grace Margaret Oallaher is a-simple, sweet story of New England life. "Ths Wyatts Economize," by Anne O'Hagan Is the story of the first rift in a honeymoon lute, and has a hu morous twist. "Schopenhauer to the Rescue," by Dorothy Can field de scribes how the colossal egotism pf a young college professor -- assists In straightening out a Veritable comedy of errors. On the whoU, these stories are far ahead of the average main line fiction. Among tho sjeclal articles the most notable is "The Store Girl's Chance" by Annette Austin. In It the lights and shadows of the saleslady's exist ence as exemplified in the New Tork stores is discussed from the girls' point of view. Another article which should appeal to - a wide circle of readers is "A New Future for the Wage Earner," by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay in which attention is called to the opportunities now being offered In the golden West. . y Wallace Irwin Is too well known to the reading public to needv extended comment; it will suffice to say that his "An Adventure in Cold Storage A Nautical Ballad" is well up to his deliclously funny standards TOUNO'fl MAGAZINE FOR.SEP- TEMBKK. The novelette which occupies the opening pages of Young's Magazine this month is "What's Bred in the Bone" by Eric Von Ebonstein. "To landa's" development from an appar ently Innocent young girl to a. woman of the world, "out for the coin," is quite cleverly depicted. Ona cannot but feel, however, that "Hetta" . gets but a poor bargain 'in "Roland" who is unquestionably a most tremendous Prig. , Of the shorter contributions, "Rose mary," toy R. A. Phillips ts distinctly the best, although 'its thenfe the re membrance of, and regret for a youthful ' sweetheart -la somewhat' shop worn. ''The Claimant' by Vlr gie E. Roe Is aa eight-page effusion of the "Prisoner of Zends," 'type mystertous kingdom, foreign lover, beautiful princess, "And all other ac cessories guaranted ' to toe Included. Many novels have been spun out to several hundred pages with consider ably less plot than la exhibited In its short compass. We congratulate its author on ths sense, of artistic pro portion, which led. to Its being elght pages in length rather than three hundred nd eight. "A Carmen of the Highway" by Roland Harold Warner Is a delicious account of how a clever sneak thief fooled a lot of society swells. The account of the masquerade party given to ths Newport set, at which the operation ts performed, shows either a knowledge of the real article, pr else a very conscientious study of the society -columns of -ths metropolitan dallies. , , Thi number 4 contains rather too liberal a portion of the. grewsome.

' There will be no ceremony to mark the opening, Kbut large numbers of citizens will be down during the next few days to see the building and congratulate each other on what ths Southern Railway has done for the city. After years of rather 'Impatient waiting ths city'a needs' have at : last been recognized by the Southern's officials, and, as if to make up for their tardiness, they have spent lav ishly to give ths city a passenger de pot to be proud of-r-putting over HSiO.OOO into it. . A view of the building from any point now is marred by the old sta tion which Is to be moved away at once, and by several -other small buildings that are ta be torn down to make room for walks and flower plots. Once In he building, howev er, there is nothing to detract from the beauty of the house or its fur nishings. INSIDE THE STATION. One enters from. Council street through a vestibule into the white waiting room. To the left are the ladles' parlor and toilet. . the parlor furnished with table and easy rock ing chairs. To the right are the smoking room and toilet for ' men. Here a first-class boot-black stand will be maintained. The white wait ing room, which is 40x80 feet, is sep arated from the waiting . room for the colored by an iron railing or fence, which ends at the ticket office. This Is 20 feet square. Just out side, near the window,. Is It- table for the 'convenience1 of ticket buy ers. In the waiting room the best of material was employed. The seats are in oak effect as Is also the celling. There is an abundance of lght in the room both day and night. The build ing, sheds and grounds will be brilliantly JIghted throughout with electricity. In tho waiting rooms there are three beautiful arc lights. Adjoining the- colored' waiting room is the lunch room, capable of enter taining one hundred patrons at a time; the kitchen, and then the hand some dining room, all of which will be In charge of Mr. J.

This is connected with the depot by a cross over shed. , , - - , ' : " THE TRACKS AND TRAINS. Trains going south and those from the west will use the track nearest the building. .

No fence and gates wilt be used for the present. , The ststlon master will be Capt. George N. Waitt, a veteran conductor, .who has been with the railroad for forty-two years.
