Moderat cutting of surplus letrs

It was on the first day of the new year that the anouncement was made, almost simultaneusly from three observatries, that the motion of the planet Neptune, the outrmost of all the planets that wheel about the Sun, had become very eratic. A retardation in its velocity had been suspectd in Decembr. Then a faint, remote spek of light was discovrd in the rejion of the perturbd planet. At first this did not cause any very great exitement. Sientific peple, howevr, found the intelijence remarkabl enuf, even befor it became known that the new body was rapidly growing larjr and brightr, and that its motion was quite difrent from the ordrly progress of the planets.
