Miss Mock is one of the founders of the American Women's Legion EXPEGTTOREVEAL Prof. Pickering, of Harvard, May Discover It at Any Time, Says Astronomer DEPEND ON PHOTOGRAPHY k New York, .Tan. 1. If there leally is another great planet in the heavens, far beyond the limits of the Bolar system as it is now known, its discovery may occur at any moment, nccording to Har old Jncoby, Rutherford professor of astronomy nt Columbia University. Conditions now nre peculiarly favorable for the discovery. Professor William II, Pickering, of the Harvard Astronomical Observatory, is stationed at Mandevillc, Jamaica, making a thorough search for the planet, which is believed to be about the size of the earth and seventy times as far from the sun. Calculations indicate that conditions which existed Tuesday night offered an excellent opportunity for making the discovery, professor Pickering is striv ing to locate the new heavenly body and thereby establish the truth of his pre dictions that an unknown planet has been lesponsiblo for the irregularities which have been observed in the mo tions of Neptune. Plans Made for Search Accouling to Professor Jacob.v . .la niaica affords an unexcelled location for an astronomer searching for the distant object. No attempt will be made at Columbia to locate the supposed new planet, because of lack of facilities. A dispatch received yesterday from San Francisco stated that astionomers nt the observatories at Mount AVilson and Mount Hamilton would not search for the planet unless their assistance is re quested by Professor Pickering. Speaking of conditions nt Jamaica, Professor Jacoby last night said: "If the suspected planet is located now at the point of the sky predicted by the Harvard astronomer it should be more favorablj seen from a place on the earth located in tho Northern Hemisphere, but within the tropics. To an observer ou the island of .Tamaca the planet, if in its predicted position, would !' al most diiectly overhead at midu'igbt. "This is the most favoraDle position lor discovering a vcrj taint object, be cause its light then traverses the earth's atmosphere iu n perpendicular direc tion, wheieas the light coming from an object near the hoiUin comes through our atmosphere nt a much more un favorable angle. If the planet 13 seen, we innj depend on its being a very faint and difficult object. Camera Better Than Eye Just how much time will be de oted to the attempt to discover the new planet:" Professor Jacoby was asked. "That depends," lie said. "When an object is vety faint it must be sou slit by means of long cxposuio pho tographic plates instead of direct eye cliscrvatious through the telescope. The cffict of the faint' light coining from such a distant planet is cumulative upon a photographic plate, whereas with the e.ve we fcc about as much at (Ii first glance as we can ever see. Therefore, we can photograph objects ton faint to be seen with any tele scope. "It is possible that hundieds of -.nch photographs will be. made, in which i use u considerable number of nights will be consumed, in the search. Some cloud nights will occur anil so it might happen that an astronomer would devote twr or three months in I In sealed before giving up hope. Es picially if lie had made the expedi tion to a certain place for the express purpose of finding, a favorable latitude would he be, unwilling to return until there was no lorger hope of finding the planet. "But then I must repcut if the planet exists, thn discovery may come vii quickly." SURVIVORS DIDN'T SUFFER Rescued Men Fro mWrecked Ship Had Confortable Time Waiting Si. Johns, N. I, Jan. 1. The three men who stood by their ship, the Bel giati steamship Anton Van Driel, after she struck the rocks at St. Shotts in a storm Sunday night, while twen-tv-six members of the crew lost their lives when they nbandoned her. were brought here by the steamship Ingra ham. The latter ship, maneuvering In heavj seas and a hurricane with snow uuder the beetling bluffs of St. Mnrys bay, had rescued the survivors from the bridge of the Van Driel, where they had been held prisoners thirty six hours by tho combers which broke over their refuge. The men saved were David Plocgg, second officer; Mathlas Bredlus. n stoker, both of Rotterdam, nnd Karl Mihel, a German, who was being re patriated from an interurtient camp in Canada. Their story of their expe1 ences differed greatly from what the fisher folk of St Shotts, helpless to aid in tho stormy conditions, and the out side world thought the sailors suffered. They said they had made themselves comfortable in tho wheelboiise on the bridge, lighting oil fctov.es and resting on bedding brought from tho cabin, with plenty of food, while they waited for some one to come to their assistance.
