Prof e. E. Barnard Defending His Discovery
Against Amateur Astronomers.

San Francisco, Sept. 25.-Prof. f. f.
Barnard, the noted astronomer who re-
Gently discovered Jupiter's fifth satellite,
has sent long communication from Lick
Observatory in reference to the state.
ment by lawyer Cogley, of Washington.
that he and not Barnard first discovered the
new moon. Professor Barnard says: "I
have stated that this new satellite to
Jupiter is of the thirteenth magnitude.
There is certain relation between the
aperture of the telescope and its
penetrating power or the faintesr
of the stars that can be seen
with it. No five-inch telescope would
show this satellite if it were isolated on q
dark sky away from the planet. Place
now this tiny point of light close in the
immediate glow of Q giant planet, and 1t
becomes one of the most difficult OBJ
jects in the heavens. and can only be seen
in the greatest telescopes, and even then
only with special precautIon. such as hid
ing the planet behind . bar in the ey G. piece
to get rid of its dazzling light. The claim.
therefore, of MIR. Cogley is of the
highest absurdity. One OF his five moons
was bright star, perhaps visible to the
where Jupiter was on the date Of his
observation he will find the self same star
right there where it has been since the
day of creation. For Mr.. Cogley
TO see the satellite with five-inch. or even
with q telescope ten times as powerful. is q
physical i'm mposslbility. The Lick telescope
is over fifty times as powerful as his
five.incb, and the new moon is or
dinarily difficult object with it.
On the best night We have had
since the discovery, | tried every means
known to me to see it with our twelve
inch. q superb instruments, and one long ag0
shown by Mr. Burnham to be the best tele-
scope In the world of its size, but no trace
of the little moon could be made out
though it was at its greatest distance from
the planet Tshall be happy indeed if the
discovery Is verified by the twenty six.
inch at Washington, or the twenty -six-inch
at the University of Virginia. Since Mr..
Cogley's claim was published have re-
ceIved letter from q minister of the
GOSPEL who lives In one of the East
ern cities, ana who claims to have
discovered the fifth satellite with a smah
telescope while showing Jupiter to some
friends on the Sth of September. / have
taken time and patience to 60 extensively
into this matter to show the absurdity
of such claims. for there are others
to come yet, and il is we'll for the
public to know just how to meet them.
cannot attempt to answer all that may be
made 1t is unfortunate that on the night
of the discovery there was q bright star
near Jupiter, and every amateur that
looked at the planet on the date will now
recall to himself that he then also saw five
moons OF Jupiter

AN INTERESTING P6INT.

Smalley Thinks the Peoples Party Candidate
Alone Was Eligible In Vermont
NEW YORK, Sept 25.-Bradley B. Smalley,
member of the Democratic national oom.
mittee and late candidate for Governor Of
Vermont, announced tonight that he had
made discovery which would. If contest
ed, give to Allen, the Prohibition candi-
date. the Office of Governor of Vermont.
Mr. Smalley said that while Allen received
but 200 or 1,5OO votes he was the only
candidate for the position who is eligible.
If the conclusions of both Chairman Car
ter of the Republican, and Chairman Har-
rity. of the Democratic national commit
tee, be correct. neither be nor Lew X.
Fuller. the Republican candidate. who re-
ceived majority of about 1900, were
eligible.
By decree of counsel both chaIrmex
have issued q circular letter advising any
persons who may have been nominated for
presidential electors who are directors of
national banks. or who hold public offices
of trust OF profit, to withdraw, for feai
that they might prove TO be ineligi BILE.
The fact is, said Mr.. Smalley. that un.
der this construction, both MIR. Fuller and
myself were ineligible. for we are both
directors of n national bank. The CoEsti-
tuition of the State of Vermont Is very rigid
on this point. and besides affecting Mr..
Fullers election. it Will also debar several
members of the LEGISLATURE from beina

Indiana, from Liverpool brought $40 steer
