At this point it is expected that, owing
to the exceptional advantages in the
way of atmospheric conditions, splendid
results will be obtained. The observato-
ry will also have the advantage of being
situated farther south than any tele-
scope in the world, having a sweep of
the horizon of nine degrees, an area
such as has mover before been possible
in Il glass of the kind.
The glass itself is 4 superb l6 inch
refracting telescope, made in the best
days of Alvan Clark, the veteran lens
grinder Of Cambridgeport, Mass. Ac-
cOrding to the makers testimony, it is
the best instrument he ever made of the
size.
Next fall, when the Mount Lowe rail
way is completed, there will be erected
on the summit of Mount Lowe q COM
pleto astronomical observatory at an al
titude p coo feet higher than the Lick
observatory. The telescope now on Echo
mountain will be transferred thither
and the institution will be placed in
charge Of Professor Lewis Swift.
This celebrated astronomer was born
at ClarkSon, Monroe county, n. Y, Feb
30, 1920. lie was the son of n farmer
with large family and small income
and worked hard on the farm until, at
the age of -, Il fracture of the hip ren-
dered him lame for life. Then he at
tended school for three years, walking
daily to the Clarkson academy and back,
q distance of over two miles, on crutch-
es He finally fitted himself for Il lee
tUrCr on scientific subjects and followed
that vocation for several years.
In 1855 he read DR.. Thomas Dicks
works Oh astronomy and became so
enamorcd of the subject that he deter
mined to devote his life to that science.
With his own hands he made his first
telescope and through it viewed the Do
natl comet Iii 1862 he discovered the
great Swift comet, which made him
famous and caused his removal to ROch-
ester, where the Warner observatory was
erected and equipped for his use. DR..
Swift has NOW to his credit the discOv-
cry of nine comets and $50 ncbulr. His
last great discovery WAS made i'll 1892,
