that is presided over by Prof. Holden.
In the opinion of the people of San
Francisco and California Barnard is by
far the greater astronomer of the two.
He is said to be assiducrs and unfag'
ging in his work, and in addition TO all
that he is a real genius. There is little
doubt that he viii be invited to come to
Chicago and take his place at the head
of the astronomers that viii have charge
of the big telescope. This viii be the
most important acquisition to the uni
versity after that of the telescope itself.
It is believed that much time will be
saved in the construction of the tele-
scope if the university can obtain posses
sion of the two great disks that have
been cast for the Southern California
university. This institution, or its rep
reseusatives, viii be glad to part
with the property when they learn
that the Chicago university will have
much larger glass made if these cannot
be acquired. The astronomers say that
the detectives now in the rough Will DE
sufficiently large. They are, valuable
at present and if another glass few
inches larger were cast their value
would decrease, inasmuch as other per-
sons desiring great telescope would
naturally want it to be larger than the
last; hence larger than any newly-con-
strueted one. On the whole it seems
probable that the new observatory with
Prof Barnard at its head will be in
operation in about one year and half.

Philadelphia Ledger in June. 1877. in
an article on the flag. said that. as
whole, it was the same, or nearly the
same, as that of the East India COM

An Indian Method of Weighing.

In the savage state some people have
very curious ideas. and even when they
become half civilized these notions
often cling to them. One of these odd
characteristics was illustrated by the
way some Indians had of weighing arti-
cles. When San Francisco and the sur
rounding country began to be inha bited
in the gold-hunting days. some Indians
used to supply the settlers with game.
The buyers and sellers generally lacked
scales, aud as the game was sold by the
pound the weight would have to be
guessed at. In selling turkey, there
fore. it would be natural to hold the
turkey in your hand, and make an esti-
mate of its weight. But the Indian
wouldn't do this He had seen scales
and knew how they worked, SO he used
to make scales of his own. 4 board
would be laid across i fence and the
turkey placed on one end. while stones
would be piled on the other end until
the board balanced And then the In
dian would guess at the weight OF the
stones. and give his opinion as to how
much the turkey weighed.
