2247 days and 365*26 days respectively. Hence, they appear to come back again to the same position in the heavens after an ioterval of 583 92 days. If the plane of the orbit of Venus were exictly the same as tho plane of the Earth's orbit a transit would take place every 584 day?, but the orbit of Venus is inclined to that of tho Earth at an angle a little over three degrees, and thus a transit can only occur when both the Earth and Venus ore very near the points in which one orbit cuts the other. These points arc called nodes. In con sequence of this inclination, after one transit baa taken place, then for a period of 584 days, Venus is either too high above or too far belew the sun to appear to cross between us aud it, and, therefore,' after one tran-it has occurred, a whole number of revolutions, both of the earth aud of her sister planet, must take place before an >ther transit can happen. Eight revolutions of the earth aro very nearly equal to thirteen revolutions of Vtnu*. So after one transit has takoa place, another may happen eight yeirs subsequently, but the difference between eight years and thirteen years (Venua's period of revolu tion) is too grout to allow a transit to occur a second time, after an interval of 16 years. In fact .toother transit cannot take place at the same part of tbe earth's orbit until an I interval of 235 years has elapsed. But, ) although the transit cannot happen at the same part of the Earth's orbit, one may happen in the interval at the other side of the Earth's orbit where Venus

crosses the plane of the «earth's orbit at the opposite node. Now, it wil ba found by calculation that 121J revolutions of tho ■JJarth ato a'.mo3t equal to 1974 revolu tions of Vemu, and, therefore, after a transit has taken place on ono side of the Earth's orbit,another may occur on the other side of the orbit 121 i years after wards. After such a transit has taken place another may happen at the same side 8 years afterwards, and then there cannot be another on that side until 235 years afterwards. In December of tho year 1631 a transit took place when Venus was passing through the ascending code of her orbit, as coming from south to north of the Earth's orbit, and eight years later, viz., in 1639, another transit occurred at the sumo part of tho orbit, i.e., tbe ascending node. Tbe next transit that could happen at j this- uode was tint of tbe year 1874, and the next after it is tho one that occurs to morrow. All these take place in the month of December. But, in tho meantime, there was a transit between 1639 and 1874, at tbe descending node, viz., in the month of June, 1761, being exactly 121A years after the one that was observed in December, 1639. Eight years after it another occurs at the descending node In 1769, and fiom that time forward none happevs at this nodo until the year 2004; henco, we get the intervals at which the transits take place in pair*, in the following order:-8— 121J—8—105 j— B—l2lJ —and bo on,

Amount of Error Betiveen Largest and /smallest Values of Sun's Parallax.

The smallest value of the Sun's pa rallax deduced from the transits of 1711 and 17C9 was 8.576 seconds of an arc, and the largest value was 8.95 seconds of an arc, the adopted value in the " British Nautical Almanac" for this year being intermediate, viz., Profess^r New «ombe's estimate—B'B4B. But this differ ence between the angles—although it represents many thousands of miles in the Sun's {distance-i», in itself, so small an angle that it woul-1 be measured by a human hair abaut 150 th part of an inch in diaructcr held at a dis taoce of 100 yards. Or, -to use a local illustration-supposing the height of Biingitoto to be measured by a surveyor, taking Queen street Wharf as a base line, then the error he would commit, if it were no greater than that between the largest sd<l the smallest values of the Sun's parallax, would, be less than one that would be caused by placing a sovereign on end upon Kangitoto's summit Ihe Sun'a Distance. The distance of the Sun from the Earth may be roughly put down at something like 92,000,000 of miles. Supposing a child were bom with an arm long enough to icach the Sun, and that at the moment of its birth it were to stretch out its hand and touch the Sun, the rate at which sensations are transmitted along the neives is so slow that the child would have grown up and become an old man before he discovered that lie had burnt his fiugers. This distance of 92.000,000 of miles, although so vast as to be almost in conceivable, yet is, in proportion to the dis tance of the nearest; fixed star, almost inappreciable; for the earth, in travelling from one side of her orbit to the other, causes a change in the nearest fixed star of rattier less than a second of an arc, and if the change js only represented by that, the star must be 206,265 times further off from us: than the sun is. Thus there is no star within that distance, viz., 206,265 times 92,000,000 of miles, Methods of Calculating the instance. The problem of finding the Sun's distanca by the transit of Venus is merely an extension of the surveying problem of finding the distance of an inaccessible object hy measuring a base line and ob serving the angles which the distant object makes with the base line as viewed fioto its opposite ends. We kiow the dimen sions of the Earth within a.few feet, and with regard to an object so near to us as the Moon, the Eartn itself offers a suffi ciently long base line to enable us to arrive at its distance, but the Sun is. too far off for ua to compute exactly. When Venus crosses between us and the Sun, then, to observe her at different station?, she will appear to cross aloDg different lines. Those who are observing from the centre of the earth will see her cross along one particular iiae, and the northern obser ver will see her cross a line slightly to the south of that, while the southern observer will see her cross along a line slightl/ to the north. The difference between these two positions of »pparent transit— knowing, as we do, that the motions of Venus and the larth during the time are, the proportion which the distance of Venus from the Sun bears to the.distance of the Earth from the Sun—this difference, 1 say, enables us by trigonometrical calculation to arrive at the,'distance of the Sun. This method ib inapplicable, however, to the transit wbich takes place to morrow, as feen from Auckland, because we shall only see the latter baif-of ifc. What we have to observe here, therefore, will be the lime at which the planet ap pears to leave tbe Sun's disc, »nd therj, combining that with the different times at | whichitappeared to leave the tolar disc fr- m different stations, and knowing precisely the latitude and loDgitude ot these stations, the problem can also be solved by an easy calculation. There is a third method, i.e., taking photographs of the Sun at different intervals during the time of transit, wbich will shew the planet in differ, entpositionsfrom time to time, and then after wards carefully meaauringthem.and thus ar riving at the desired result. The value of the English photographs in 1874 was so unsatis factory that Her Majesty's Government determined not to try the method again. The American and Freuch were more suc cessful, and the former are now coins- to use the photographic method again to-morrow. The other methods of obtaining the Sun's distance are by observing the planet Mars when in opposition to the iiuu, by means of the moon by the perturbations of the planets, caused by the. mutual action upon each other, and also by tbe velocity of light. Value of the Observations. Tbe transit of 1874 showed that Venus possessed an atmosphere like onr own, and that she had seasons like our own, although the variations between her summer and winter would be very much heater. The Sun's parallax, too is one of the elements employed m finding longitude at sea by means oflunlr distances, and although absolutely accurate value is not essential, our present knowledge being sufficiently approximate for all purposes, still the greater the accuracy that can be obtained the better it is. The importance of accu rate knowledge of the Sun's distance from the Earth is a base line by which to measure the distances of the fixed stars. it would be of value also, perhaps, in estimating the geological history of the Earth, because there is no doubt that different parts of the Earth's surface have undergone great climatic changes-thus countries that are now in temperate zones have been at tome time or other in the arctic, and, on the other hand, thei arctic regions shew traces of vegetation that could only have, grown when they were in temperate zones. These variations aie ex plained more or less by a change in the shape of the Earth's orbit, and it is qnite possible that a small error is onr fstimate of the Sun's distance might produce a very large error in an estimate of the intervals at which those variations took, place. For instance, a small error in the Sun's distance might give us an error of half a million years or more, In one of these interval?, .

(Kecoived December 6th, 1.35 p.m.) THE KAILWAY DISASTEtt.

MELBOURNE, this day. In the Legislative Assembly latt night, Sir Bryant O'Loghlen raado a statement re garding tho Hawthorn collision, but depre cated any discussion on the subject at the pi esent time.

Mr Gillies made a lengthy speech, In which he insisted that radical changes are necessary in the railway service, and declared that the political system cf management has completely failed. Many other speak ers followed aud supported Mr Gillies criticisms. Mr Bent, Commissioner of Kail ways, spoke at length and defended the conduct of tbe Railway Department. A desultory discussion followed, lasting six hours. Mr bent, later, introduced a Bill for_ the better management of Railways, which w.is announced in the Governor's speech at the opening-of tho session. Arrived, this morning : Union steamship Ringarooma from the Bluff.

An inquest; on tho body of W. Thomas, who died trom the effects of injuries re ceived by the railway collision at Hawthorn, was commenced yesterday, but the enquiry was adjourned to tbe 13th instant.

SALE OF THE SUBREY HILLS ESTATE.

THIS largo area of land, bounded on two si;!e* by Ponsonby Boad and Arch Hill Koad, was sold to-day by the owner, tho Hon. James Williamson, to, it is said, the Waikato Land Company. Consequently Mr Thos. Russell and Messrs McLean and Co. are largely interested in this important purchase, which renders tho likelihood of the estate consti tuting one of the "lungs" of the city much smaller than heretofore. It can hardly be the intention of tho oompany to hold the property; in tbeir hands no doubt it will be cut up into section* for building purposes. It will bo remembered that Mr Williamson some time ago offered the estato to the City Council for £100,000, which seemed too high to be then dealt witb. The chance of secuiing it for the benefit of the public has now passed away. I here is no need to descant on the beauties of the situation, but there can be bo ques tion that a more desirable piece of land in every respect has not changed hands for years.

AUCKLAND BUILDING AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY.

The half-yearly general- meeting of tbe Auckland Permanent Co-operative Build iugaad Investment Society, advertised for last night,lapsed for want of a quorum. At the request of the president (Colonel Haul tain), Mr John Batger (secretary) read a statement of tbe rcicipts and disbursements for the half-year as follows :—

Bkcbipts.— Fees, £213 los 7d ; finoa, £68 9s 9d; pafß-books and rules, £7 14s 6d; subscriptions received on shares account, £19,582 18a ; deposits, £825; properties in liquidation, £628 lls; fixed deposits received from bankets, £15 r 225 ; balance in hand at bank on Ist April, 18S2, £9,125 8j 8d : total, £45,676 2s sd.

DI»BUBSEMBNTS.—Fees, £160 15s 6d ; loans, £16,825; fixed deposit at bank, £3000 ; deposits, £1,714 15s 6d ; interest paid depositors, £111 0s 3d; shares matured and withdrawn, £19,809 15s 5d ; outstand ing debts, 31st Marcb, 18S2, £318 14s 3d j properties In liquidation, £76 0s 4d ; mis cellaneoua. £485 4s 7d ; balance in hand at bank, £3,184 16s 7d : total; £45,676 2s sc). Colonel Haultain said that coupared with tbe corresponding period of last year there as not very much difference in fome of the items, but he thought be might con gratulate them that they were certainly nol in any wo:se position than last year, noN withstanding the changes which have laken place in the valne of money, and the re quirements of the community.

" . . , Eixerslie and ErsoM, - Mr Barton wished to bring before tho meeting tho matter of two preaching stations at Ellerslie and Epsom. Ho had supplied these stations for many months, and. must now ask the Pre3bytery to relieve him. It was also stated that tho colloc- Modb at these stations were not nearly enough to meet the expenses. — After tne members present had deolared their high senso of Mr Barton's services, it was re solved to accede to his request, and a hearty vote of thanks was passed to him. It was further decided to recommend the matter to the Chnrch Extension Committee

Mr J. Friar Clark received the following telegram at 2.15 this afternoon :—Six pounds specimen stone from Green Harp, under SO feet level, seaward of Venus drive. Gold still shewing. Leader un touched below Eeaward of Venus.—Noah ClimO.

Dr. Philson has received a letter from the Colonial Secretary regretting his resigna tion, and also expressing the regret of the Government that tb'ey have no power to grant a pension, Feeling, however, the large claim upon the consideration of the colorjy wbich Dr Philson's twenty five years of arduous public service gives, they will grant six months' absence on full pay, and commend the question of pension to tbe favourable consideration of Parliament. We are quite sure that no public officer has ever earned a pension by more onerous service and faithful devotion to public work.

The manager !of the Success G.M. Co. sends the following report:—l have got up the height of another stope and commenced stoping towards the rife. Tbe ground in tLis part of the mine has been broken and split up with stringersj but the top ot tbia stope is greatly improved. The walls and the reef are more regular and have the appearance of making gold sooner than what they did in the stopes below. In the rise there has been bat little gold seen owing to a break in the leaning wall, but the ground U full of mineral and likely looking for gold at any moment. We regret to hear that the Auckland Ladies' Benevolent Society, one of the oldest charitable institutions in the city, is likely to come to an end. Twenty-two years ago, when tbe community of Auck land was a small one, and when there was no other machinery for the relief of the indigent afflicted, tbe society was formed, and did much good. The funds used by the ladies were, and always have been the result of collections made by themselves. For some years past the society have discovered that our conntry is becoming too large for their organisation, and there is a great objection amongst them to the system of house to bouse canvassing. The ladies would be. perfectly Willing; tonn dertake the disbursement of unsolicited do nation from the public, or Oovernment grants, but have decided to stop canvassing. At a meeting held yesterday, a resolution to that effect was adopted, and has been lor ' warded to the Government. We under stand that a similar communication has i 'been forwarded to His Worship the Mayor,

MINING NEWS.

THAMES, this day.

Prince Imperial. —The shaft has been sunk about six feet. The country hof the fame class as formerly. In taking down the reef on Monday night, a few pounds of picked stone were obtained, and good colouis of gold were freely seen through the quartz, Gold is now showing in a stringer ou the foot-wall uf the reef at the side of the shaft. The reef will dip out of the shaft a few feet lower. A cross-cut to intersect Mariner's reef has been put in about 8 feot through good country, and a couple of small stringers striking off apparently from No. 2 reef^ have been iatcrsected. The stopes are looking well, and email parcels of picked stone come to hand every bteakiug down. West of break, the ground is timbered within 30 foot of the cross boundary. The leading stopo is well advanced over the drive, and the second stopc is almost 30feet west of the break. The fourth stope west of tho seaward wiDze is close up to tho break, and the fifth is just started. last of the shaft the men have been busy timbering Up tho drives, but were to start in the face to day* The furnace under tho air shafts act well, creating a good cuirent of air. Mabinbr and Londos.—The men holed through from Exchange thaft to tho No. 2 level of the Cown Princess shaft yesterday, aud tho manager went from one shaft to the other to?day. This will creato a sufficient current of air to ventilate the lower levels.
