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.
