JuPlTER's FIFTH SATELLITE.
barnard Tolls Why No Small Telescope
Gould View 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Professor
e e Barnard, the noted astronomer
who recently discovered Jupiter's fifth
satellite, sent long communication
from Lick observatory in reference to
the claim set up by Lawyer Cogley,
Washington, that he and not Barnard
first discovered the new moon. Pro-
fessor barnard says:
l have stated that this new satellite
to Jupiter is of thirteenth magnitude
There Is certain relation between
the aperture of telescope and its
penetrating power on the faintness of
star that can be seen with it. Now q
5-inch telescope would not show this
satellite if it were isolated on
dark sky away from a
planet The place now of this tiny
point of light is close in the i'm
mediate glow of the giant planet, and
1T becomes one of the most difficult OBJ
jects i'll the heavens, and can only be
seen in the greatest telescopes. and
oven then only with special precau-,
tion, such as hiding the planet behind
the bar in the eye piece to get rid of
Its dazzling light. The claim, there
fore, OF Mr. Cogley is of the highest
absurdity. One OF his five moons was
bright star. perhaps visible to the
naked eye, and it he will go back to
where Jupiter was on the date of his
observation he will find the selt-same
star right there-where it has been
since the dawn of creation.
For MIR. Cogley to see the now sa-
te.lite with u hve-inch or even n tele-
scope ten times as powerful is d physi-
cal impossibility. The Lick telescope
is over fifty times as powerful as his
flve.inch, and the new moon is ordi-
narlly difficult object to see with 1t
On the best night we, have had since
the discovery l tried every means
known to me to see it with our twelve
inch. superb instrument and
one long ago shown by Mr. Burnham
to be the best telescope in the world of
It's size. but no traces Of the little
moon could be made out, though it
was ut its greatest distance from the
planet. l shall be happy, indeed, if
the discovery is verified by the twenty
six inch at Washington or the twenty
saS inch at the University of Virginia
Since Mr. Cogleys claim was published
In dispatches have received letter
from minister Of tho gospel who lives!
in one Of the eastern cities, and who
claims to have discovered fifth satel-
lite with small telescope whilo show
ing Jupiter to some friends September
.. have taken the time and patience
to go extensively into this matter to
show the absurdity of such claims, for
there are othors to como yet. and it is
we'll for the public to know just how
to meet them.
cannot attempt to answer all that
may be made. It is unfortunate that
on the night of the discovery there
was bright star near Jupiter, and
every amateur that looked at the
planet on that date will now recall
himself TINT he then also saw five
moons Of Jupiter

ing than they are really accustomed
to. Mr.. L. A. Lathrop, the United
States consul at Bristol, England, is
the gentleman who has imposed the

state department thinkers. Mr.. Lath.
rop is from California Strange to
say. instead of bear he elected to
maintain dog. He neglected. how.
ever, to got out a license for the brute.
The dog, untagged, ran about the
streets of Bristol like an Indian un-
taxed bout his reservation until few
weeks ago A Bristol policeman then
pulled" Mr. Lathrop's dog and hauled
him to the pound. MIR. Lnthrop re-
fused to pny the sum necessary to Sc
cure the dogs release, but appealed
the cnse to magistrate. claiming that
his dog was entitled, like himself, to
Immunity from taxation, arrest and
everything else disagreeable. The
magistrate did not know what to do
He had never handled such an in tricate
International affair before. He let the
dog out on bail, SO to speak, until he
could consult with the secretary of
state for foreign atfairs and until Mr.
Lathrop could also communicate with
the United States state department
The secretary for foreign affairs is

WoLsEY. 8. D., Sept. 27.-The east
bound Chicago and Northwestern
freight Sunday afternoon caused no
less than three fires between here and
St Lawrence. AT place one mile
west some grain and hay stacks were
burned, and but for the general turning
out of citizens much grain and other
valuable property would have been de-
stroyed. The grass very heavy and
is rapidly drying, caused by frosts and
warm winds. Farmers have been too
busy to provide the proper fire guards.
Never has there been such danger Of
general conhagration as at present.
But farmers are awakening to tho
danger and soon they will be prepared.

the matter of admitting local

that he knew him to be smoke in the

candidate. The Rev. Mr.. Coleman, OF
Fond dn Lac, declared that it was as
tonishing to see how the tobacco ha bit
perverted the moral character, and he
wanted q positive pledge Of abstinence.
BY general consent the matter WAS
left to the committee on examinations.
In its report to tho conference
the committee on education com.
