Our Progress In Astronomy

In speaking of progress in astronomy,
Professor j. Norman Lockyer of London
says: II am sorry to say that in this
work the center of gravity of the activity
has left our country and has gone out
west. We have to look to our American
cousins for great deal that We want to
know in these matters, for the reason that
they now not only have the biggest tele-
scopes and most skilled observers, but also
they have been wiser than we-they have
occupied high points on the earth's sur
Dce and thus got rid of the atmospheric
difficulties under which we suffer in Eng
land and especially in London"
