A DIRECT-VISION Spectroscope has been recently made by Mr. Hilgar on a new plan, in which advantage is taken of the property of the half prism to obtain great dispersive power. As this spectroscope, on a small scale, seems to be greatly superior to the old form, a large instru ment, on the same plan, is being made by Mr. Hilgar for the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.

THE Public Ledger, which has had a larger continuous success than any daily journal in this country, is more successful under its present proprietor, Mr. George W. Childs, than ever before. It is unquestionably the favorite daily newspaper of Philadelphia with all classes. It is never sensational, and by its reliability-an attribute so much needed by many of its daily contempo raries-it has won the confidence of the people to a greater extent than any other journal in this State.-Philadelphia Sunday Mercury.

THE EPHEMERIS. THE Ephemeris for the present year gives, as heretofore, the day of the year, the day of the month and day of the week, in civil time, according to which the day begins at midnight. Next are given the time of sunrise, the time before or after noon at which the sun's centre souths, and the time of sunset. The times of sunrise and sunset are in each case for the upper limb or edge of the sun, corrected for refraction. They are more accurate than usually found in popular almanacs, and will give the time with sufficient accuracy for ordinary purposes. An ordinary surveyor's level will give the horizon where the upper edge of the sun should be at the time given in the almanac. If the telescope of the leveling instrument inverts, the upper edge will, of course, be apparently the lower one. Next are given the times of rising, southing and set

ting of the moon's centre, and also its age, or the number of days elapsed since new moon. Then follow the times of high and low water for Philadelphia. Lastly is given a collection of interesting astronomical phenomena for the year.

AFTER an extensive trial of different processes, preference has been given to dry plates at Mr. Huggins' observatory for photographs of solar spectra.

THE policy of the Philadelphia Ledger, since Mr. Childs has owned and controlled it, has been of a character to be described in a very few words. In the first place, it has been undeviatingly high-toned in its character, scorning the low moral standard which so widely obtains among the press of the United States, with a straightforward integrity of purpose that is characteristic of its proprietor. Again, it has striven to treat such subjects, and such only, as were within the line which divides the real interest of the public from that which is factitious. Finally, in its method of handling the questions of the day, it has followed the plan of treating each of these on its own merits, and without bias, or regard for personal opinion or criticism.-Frank Leslie's Historical Register.
