ward college, read paper and exhibit

to set forth the degree of the light of

some FIVE years ago it became his duty
to lay out the work on which the tele-
scope at Harvard university was 10 be
employed. and he found the selection
Of subject for investigation involved
some difficulty. He finally was led TO
choose the subject of photometry, or
the measurement of the intensity of
light. The lecturer presented Speci-
mems of photometers which had been
devised expressly for his purpose. The
discovery of the satellites of Mars IN
the autumn Of 1877 gave a special in
terest and direction 10 the inquiry. In
undertaking 70 ascertain the intensity
of the light of the satellites Of Mars he
had occasion 10 need an extremely
small hole. Among the artisans who

was one who had succeeded in making
4 hole edgewiSe through an old-faSh-

had pierced needle through from end
