 The Yale observatory has for the past
 year been doing work under three depart
 nents, namely, the time service, thermom-
 etric and astronomical. The standard
 time is furnished to the railroad, which
 sends it all over the state, and to
 a company in New Haven, which
 furnishes 1t to the different electric clocks
 in the city. The thermometric depart ment is occupied in testing physicians
 and standard chemical thermometers, and
 is the only placs in the United States
 where such work Is done. AS many az 5000 thermometers have been tested in one year. The astronomical work has been mainly with the heliometer in the line of determining star distances. This is the principal instrument which the ob
 ~ervatory possesses for research. But
 lately few experiments have been made in photography, the main object be- ing to secure records of meteors. For this purpose the nights of August and 10. when there is usually fine display, were utilized. This year, however, the meteors proved rather scarce and only three were found bright enough to be photographed. This was the first successful attempt to
 determine meteor paths by photography, and as it is evident that far greater ac- curacy can be obtained by this means than
 with mere eye estimates, it is proposed to ] follow up the subject, and Use, if the
 means can be found to procure 1t, an in strument which will cover a field seven or eight times greater than the one now in use does.
