! Conscious Of the interest which the
readers OF the HERALD take iii the
advancement Of science, We present
above view of The new Warner Oh

Rochester, \. 7. This institution
would seem designed to add very
materially to the Cause of Ameri an
science. possessing as it does certain
advantages heretofore unknown, and
much may reasonably be expected
from Its Inauguration. The cause of
astronomy in the United States Is
comparatively n its infancy, bat still
it has made great strides which will
unquestionaIjly be surpassed in the
future Space will not permit a

astrononers:
Prof. Hall was the fortunate dis
covercr of he TWO moons that accom-
pany Mars and no event of the pres
cnt century in IBIS special field has
been Of greater importance.
American astronomers discovered
the separation of Bidla's comet into
two parts, ard in 1913 Prof. Bond
found the eighth satellite of Saturn
This discovery by Prof. Bond was
followed in. 1859 ~ the discovery
Of the transparent ring of Saturn,

greatest credit upon this country,

was il telescope facilities.
In addition 10 these great dis COW
cries, Professors Watson and Swift
saw three in,ra-mercurial planets
during the total eclipse of 1873.
while over a thousand double and
triple stars, more than fifty aster-
oids and fifteen new comets have
been located in the heavens THROUGH
The researches Of the astronomers Of
TIE United States. This is a record
of which all may be proud.

George Van HOIlen.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Will you please state
whether George Van Ho11en ever held the
office Of City Collector by appointment Of the
Mayor. \.
George Van Hollen was elected City Col
lector in November, 1871, for two years; III
November, 1878, he was again elected for two
years In April, 1875, Il new city charter was
adopted, taking effect in May. This charter
carried the terms of the persons in office over
from November, 1915, to the next spring.
This charter, however, in providing for the
city officers to be elected Or appointed, omit
ted that of City Collector. The charter
authorized the City Council to establish
such other offices as were needed. By impll-
cation this abolished the office Of Collector
from the date the new charter went into
operation in May, 1875. The Council did not,
however, establish the Office Of Collector, and
Van Hollen continued to act with the other
officers, holding over until May, 1876, when he
left the city. These are the facts.1
