' Probably net. 'The registers of even casual visitors at most of the mere important observatories indicate that net enn person in a hundred thousand has ever teen inside of an observatory, te say nothing of spending e night in one. i, It is an event te have your eye greeted for the first time by litrht which has filtered down through a giant telescope after traveling two centuries at the rate of 18G.000 miles a second from a star 1,173,130,200, 000,000 miles away. f Have you ever stepped te consider that the very nearest of the Btirs and don't confuse stars, which are suns, with the planets of our own solar system are about 4 3-10 light years distant? Yeung folk in canoes, in ham mocks and en beaches and front perches during these summer months, who leek at the heavens while murmuring soft -nothings te each ether, are net likely te ponder much en these things, but after they ar safely married Dees vegetation or life of any kind exist en Mars or the moon? What makes you think se? De you knew that, astronomers (tet the time-at night from the stars without the slightest difficulty te wftriin a fiftieth part of a second, aj'a matter of course, and that they probably could get it down te one hundredth part of n second were it of practical benefit te de se ? There are probably between four and five thousand catalogued stars isible te the naked eye in the lat itude of Philadelphia. Did you knew that there was a telescopic adjust ment formula for the finding of each of these stars, and many ethers net visible te the naked eye, by setting the instrument even before the ob server leeks into it? That when it is adjusted and you peer through the eye piece, there lies your star in the field before the eye, winking at you pleatantly with purest ray serene and defying you te read its riddle? ether worlds after death. They tell a story nt Svvarthmerc : Four years age a beautiful child in the neighborhood, n little girl of M!en. was known for licr fondues for the morning Btar, and she would awake at half-past ft or 4 o'clock in the moraine, go l her bedroom window anil leek long and intently nt It. She called it Iter "very own star' and she never censed marveling at Its brilliancy. Seme one told her about the Sproul Observatory and took her there te see the great telescope, which excited her childish imagination te the higher pitch. The observer showed her a few stars through the great tube, but she was net content. She wanted te see her "own star." That meant she would have te cultivate the morning ob server, en duty from 1 o'clock te day light. Her parents could net arrange te take her in these unearthly limits. he the matter lapsed.

The Jtev. Walter A. Mates. fellow I of the Koyal Astronomical Society of (Jrent Hrltalii and for many years prier te the erection of the Snreiil telescene. thirteen years age, an observer nt the Philadelphia Observatory, was vKited one evening recently. There .seeu.s beinething entlicly fitting in the Idea of n sky pilot being n practical as tronomer, and. questioned en this point. Mr. Mates mid with a smile that mere than 100 of rhe 0(l nipuibei of the Koyal Astronomical Society are clergy men. Mr. Mntes explained that the piinel pal asttonemlcnl work done at Swarth Swarth eorc Is rhat of taking the paralla of stars. In plain language this means measuring their distance from the enith by means of comparative angles from ether stars en which the equutlenal computations of higher mathematics ran be based. It was the development of nstronen.y that resulted In the absolute necessity for higher mathematiis. Abtronemy, therefore, which many folk dismiss as relatively unimportant, has been the most important, the most practical and the niesr useful of all the sciences. First of all, it makes men think straight, and. generally speaking, most of our thinking is equivocal or In direct. Astronomy has put order Inte our selnr s.vMcm. cleared up mysteries ami eliminated superstitions. Astronomy Is Foundation of Modern Science Mr. Slntes pointed out Hint nil trade and commerce new depend upon as tronomy, and mentioned, in Indicating its usefulness, that navigation Is abso lutely dependent upon it. These nre some of the truths that must be drummed Inte the head of the tyro se that he can understand hew fundamental is the study of the stars and their measurements and order In the universe. While Mr. Mutes was arranging the set-up of the great telescope, which has ns many complicated parts ami de vices as the Interior of a submarine, he was caught unawares. "Taking it by and large, what is the objective of science?" was a question tossed off carelessly. "The genl of all sclcnre," cnine the reply, "Is the capacity for prediction. Te anticipate the future is the most Important object of all human energy mid Intelligence, and nothing can be (tone in that direction without iclcnre. Se fur as science approaches that goal it approaches perfection, nnd nstrenumy Is essentially a science of prediction. It can predict an ecllpse a thousand rnrs In advance. It can calculate the c.micI moment of the turn of the tide twice each day for a century. It run deter mine the position of the moon nt any hour of nny night for generations yet te ceir.e. "It wasn't se long nge that the world was frightened at the appearance of n cninet. Astronomy has shown that the universe is full of comets and that they nre ns hurmless ns they nre beau tiful. There need be no apprehension en account of their nppeurancc."

"The man was vexed with me. Sure ly.' he said, 'you den t believe, in that kind of nonsense, de you?' " In the year that the Sproul Observa tory wns opened Flamiiinrien suggested that then might yet be found te exist nnetlicr planet beyond Neptune, outside the known limits of the solar svstem. Flammnrlen at thnt time had nil Idea ihnt the wanderer was hundreds of mil lions of miles away nnd that Its distance from the sun nnd the time of Its revo lution could one day be stated with cer tainty. "It has never been found." -nlil Mr. Mntes. "but who ran tell V It amy be vet. some day." Is Mars Inhabited? Fiercely Debated Question The world is new agnln excited ever possible communication with Mars and filled with speculations as te whetlirr it is inhabited. Te date, te sum up the entire matter in a word, it is n matter of belief. There arc as strong .mil even stronger arguments, ngninst the theory that it is inhabited as thfcre. nre that it is peej led. At Swartlnnere he astronomers nie non-ceminitlnl. riammarinn hns been observing Mats for the Inst twenty-eight years:, lie be lieves he has demonstrated that ther Is some intelligent form of life there, for it Is Impossible te explain, he sny. the changes that bnvp been taking place upon anv ether hypothesis.
