with the lion at the end Of a magnificent
feast he gave 10 the Commission. The
Cabinet officers in succession dined the
Englishmen. The richer Senators and
Representatives dined and wined them.
Every night there was an entertainment,
and every day British diplomacy scored
a gain, and American diplomacy lost an
advantage. 1t is not a libel 10 say that
during the negotiation Of the treaty all Of
upper Washington in any way connected
with our foreign relations got drunk and
kept drunk, and particularly was maudlin
about that Garter. 1t is a tradition in
the Capital that it took 10000 bottles OF
wine, and brandies, and sodas beyond
computation, and cocktails outside of
arithmetic, TO accomplish the second dis
grace of our administrative politics, the

Professor Young's Last lecture at
Richmond College.

The closing lecture i'm the series Of
rich treats Was given at Richmond Col
lege last evening. A large and appre-
ciativc audience filed the hall. The
Professor was in good trim, and his
theme, Astronomical Photography, 81
was entirely new, the facts and illustra-
tions which he presented being such as
will find their way into books In the
course OF five or ten years.
Professor Young, in an Introductory
way, said:
My subject this evening, ladies and
gentlemen, is Astronomical PhOtogra-
phy, not. by the way, merely Solar Pho
Biography, as accidentally stated in the
papers.
The subject just now is an exceed
ingly important one, because the recent
developments in that line have been so
remarkable No satisfactory account Of
the present state of the art is to be found
in any books accessible TO students, but
only in separate papers scattered here
and there in various scientific perlodl-
Gals, so that it has seemed to me that a
very useful lecture could be made by as
sembling the data together and present
ing them TO you iq a collected form.
ISsTRUDENT,.
"Probably it would be going too far
TO say that the instruments of the New
Astronomy the camera, spectroscope,
bolometer, and photometeT--can either
or all of them increase the range and
power of astronomical inquiry rs much
as the invention of the telescope did.
But their effect is quite analogous. In
certain lines Of work they threaten to
supersede the old instruments as com
pletely as the old quadrants and astro-
labes of the Greeks and Arabs were
superseded by the meridian circles and
transits of to-day. The whole art and
theory of astronomical observation is
changing before our eyes, and the OBJ
servatory of 19SS-perhaps Of l93S-ls
likely to differ as much from that OF to-
day as the observatory at Washington or
Pulkowa from that Of Tycho Brahe.
PHOTOGRAPHY.
"Now, a few words as to the history OF
astronomical photography. Almost imme-
diately on the announcement of the in
vention of the dagueueotype, it was
proposed by the French Savans to use it
for astronomy. but the French do not
seem to have had much success with 1t
at first The only French astronomical
picture up to very recent date seems to
have been q single dagucrreotype of the
sun, made in 1915. The first success OF
all was obtained in this country by DR..
John w. Draper, OF New York, who IN
1910 obtained some pictures OF the
moon, about an inch in diameter, which,
while not amounting to much as pictures,
still showed the feasibility of the method
with more perfect apparatus. The next
step was also American-the taking OF
daguerreotypes of Vega and other stars,
and OF the moon, in 1850, by the elder
Bond, with the then new fifteen-inch tele-
scope at Cambridge. The moon.pictures
