were frequently lost or won by miners and
merchants at a single sitting, the heaviest

the orbital movement is probable? Are
there any OF which the movement is not
0rbital? BY what intrinsic movements
are these symptoms transported into
space? The are some of the questions
which suggested themselves to my mind
and which it seemed to me must present
themselves to the mind of every student
who approached the subject.
THE only way 10 solve them was to ex-
anime in detailed manner each 5ne of
the II. COO double stars, which uD till then
had been discovered. to pare my Oh
Serva lions with those previously made,
amounting IN all TO upward of 200, 600, to
deduce the conclusion furnished DIV this
examination for each group. to form a list
of the couples whose constituents have re-
NAMED fixed, to form another list of the
stars whose movements could be verified as
lnvariable. to identity these stars, to ex-
anime tie intrinsic movements of each set.
to analyZe the variations which had OBJ
served, to establish definitely which were
the physical systems endowed with an
orbital movement. and which were the
groups which could be described as the
result q { an optical deIusion. This is what
did spent more than n year over the
work, being greatly assisted By the kind
ness of Leyerrier, who, being much inter-
ested in my researches, placed at nv dis
posal the great equatorial in the east tower
OF the Paris observatory. By the end Of
1877 had the materials for my Catalogue
OF Double Stars, which has since become a
CLASSIC in every observatory throughout
the civilized world"
In the same year Flammarion published
his Terres dn Ciel, and two years later he
began the publication of his very success

editions. On each copy of this book he has
received one franc royalty. and calculates

his brother has made very much more out
OF the WORK than he himself In 1881 he
published supplement- to this book under

new and enlarged edition of the Terres
du Ciel," and two years later he took up
again the subject which had tempted his
pen when he was a lad of fifteen years,
and published his World Before the
Creation OF Man" All these books were
published in the first instance in parts,
with view, according to his friends, to
the populariZation of tbs science so dear
to him, and, according to his critics, in
pursuance of a system of business which
has occupied him all his life.

From 1878 10 1871 ne said, my atten-
ton was almost entirely absorbed in the
study of double stars. Up to 1873, although
numerous observations had been made on
these remote stellar systems, these OBJ
servations had not been classified. II was
not known which were genuine double
stars-that IS to say, physical systems, and
which werr optical groups, due only to
perspective. No catalogue had been made
of them, only some incomplete lists had
been begun, but never terminated. Her

cal manner. 1t struck me that there was
a rich min to be exploited. In my opin-
ion the double stars constitute one of the
most important branches OF sidereal as
tronomy. Yet at the time that approached
the subject, that is to say during 1878, to
my surprise | discovered a total absence
of documents concerning them.
"A number of questions. which so far
have been unanswered, presented them
selves to my mind. How many dou Die or
multiple stars are known? What Is their
proportion to the number of single stars?
In the total number IF groups which have
been discovered how manv are simply
optical phenomena due only to the effect
OF perspective, and how many are genuine
or physical systems? Which are the
couples the orbital movement of which
can be verified? Which are those of which

In the meantime he had left his place at
the Paris Observatory and had entered the
Bureau des Longitudes, continuing his
astronomical studies In small private
observatory which he had established in a
house in the Rue Gay-Lussac. near the
Luxem0urg. Here he principally devoted
himself to the study of the spots on the
sun and the geological formations of the
moon.
Some months later he was appointed
professor OF the Ecole Turgot. his lectures
being attended by exceptionally large
audiences. In the following year. that is
to say, in 1867, he entered the French
Aer0static Society, of which he was
created president. 1t was at this period
that he commenced his remarkable series
of ascensions, a full description of which is
published in his book Voyages en- Bal
lon." He has made twelve ascensions In
all. the longest one being one in which he
travelled from Paris TO Cologne. which
was undertaken in 1880. But the balloon

All this time the young savant continued
his literary work. In 1869 he translated
Sir Humphrey Davy's Last Days of a
Philosopher" and in the following year
brought out the first series of his ''Scien-
titic CONCENTRATIONS as well as the first
edition Of his Scientific Balloon Voy-
ages" Meteorological observations occu-
pied him greatly at this time. and it was
principally for the sake of this study that
he undertook his balloon voyages. He
was the first to verify the fact til at the
