the initial performance came off Rudyard,
meanwhile having done very badly at the
rehearsals, played the part so well and
with such marvellous understanding that
the entire cast was Thunderstorm. He
went at it like an old hand and had the
audience with him from the very start.
Everybody in Lahore advised him to go on
the stage at once, but he refused and stayed
by his pencil. I tell you it was the best piece
of amateur acting ever saw and begged
him to follow the life of an actor, but he
only laughed and continued to call me the
Gigantic Head of the Indian Forest in his
stories. He always had a peculiar way of
forming quick acquaintance, and he knew
every man in Lahore from the poorest to
the richest. He never let story escape
him, and his understanding of men and
their eccentrlcities has made it possible for
him to give the world all sorts of literature.
"His sister writes little, but Rudyard
is the bright particular star of the family.
His mother is either sister or slster-in-
law of Sir Frederick Layton, the great
English painter, and he comes from very
good stock"
Mr.. Ribbentrop was loud III his praise of
Rudyard as young man, but frankly adj
mits that he was a surprise to his parents
and those who knew him generally.

Nearly half century of patient expert
ment has developed the art OF photography
into an efficient aid to telescope research
of the heavens. As in the case of the dis
covery of the property of lenses, the use of
the camera was at first only thought of in
connection with terrestrial objects, but the
vigilant watchers of the midnight sky dis
cerned in it a possible substitute for draw
ings of celestial objects, which up to that
time were the only obtainable astronomical
pictures.
Beginning with the moon experiments
were gradually extended to the sun, plan
cts, stars, nebule and comets, and with
these first successes the names of Bond,
De La Rue, Rutherford and Draper will
always be associated. For many years the
use of the Photographic wet plate, which
lost its sensitiveness with its moisture, re-
stricted the range of star pictures to the
brighter orbs that left their impress in a
few minutes; but as early as 1865 it had

magnitude, but as this would necessarily
cause the larger adjacent stars to become
out of proportion by overexposure, it was
decided that second picture of each field
two degrees square should be taken suit
able to the stars needing less exposure. 1t
was calculated that by allowing for safe
degree of overlapping, IL 900 plates would
include the entire celestial sphere and
$4,000 supply enough for the required du-
plicates. The observatories undertaking
this work are distributed over ATTITUDES
from Northern Russia to Southern Aus
tralia. Though the United States did not
engage to join in this concerted action, it
is probable that before its expected COM
pletion in few years work of equiva-
lent value can be credited to this Nation.
The instruments have been constructed,
the plates provided according to, the rules
adopted, and these important observations
that were designed to unfold to future
ages the minutest changes in the starry
vault have been progressing favorably for
several years. Quite Unexpectedly a
serious doubt has arisen within the last
few weeks as to the permanence of the
starry records. AS much of their value
lies in their supposed permanence, it is
not surprising that the Jealous cartograph-
ers are considerably disturbad when such
a high authority as DIR. Isaac Roberts an
nounces that third of the smaller stars
on his negatives taken in 1887 have dis
appeared from the plates. If this discom-
fitting discovery, published in the July
number OF the Observatory, had been made
by an amateur it would have been ignored,
but Mr.. Roberts has been noted for his

MODERN ASTRONOMY.
Charting of the Heavens by Photography and
Deterioration of Star Negatives.

practical advocate of the merits of the re-
fiecting telescope, has produced excellent
photographs of star clusters and nebulse,
that of the nebula of Andromeda surpass-
ing all other representations of that object
that have appeared.
He is one of those who have clearly dem
onstrated the superiority of the photo
graph to the best drawings that have been
made.
Comparing one of these elaborate draw
ings with photograph that he had taken
with his 20-inch reflector he says: "Tbere
are several points of resemblance between
the drawing and the photograph, and our
sympathy is strongly drawn to the patient
delineators who, during seven seasons of
the winter months, stood on exposed plat
forms, without cover or shelter, to watch
and draw again and again, the multitude
nous and difficult details and fine standings
that are shown on the drawing; but when
the result is compared with the photo
graph which was taken with an exposure
of only three and half hours we are CON-

been suggested that photographs of the
heavens two degrees square might be taken
with a telescope eleven inches in aperture,
such as Mr.. Rutherford had constructed
during that year.
When the sensitive dry plate came into
general use in 1876, it was an important
step in the development of celestial pho
Biography, and the general improvements
that had been made in the process left the
first achievements far in the rear as to
actual results.
Various phenomena were pictured with
increasing accuracy and facility, and with
in the last fifteen years it has been fully
recognized that method ofresearch second
only to that of the telescope has been added
to the outfit of astronomical science. The
camera perpetuates the views obtained in
the telescope for comparison with views
taken later on, in this way affording a
means of detecting change that is far surer
than the conjectural comparisons of former
times.
Besides this advantage, it proved to be
"a marvellous discoverer of things actually
unseen. This last advance was due to the

success in celestial photography, and wide
spread anxiety is the result.
IL has been asked Is durability then a
question of climate, surroundings and
time, and are the larger stars also on the
wane, only needing a longer time TO vanish
from sight? There seems to be no reason
why the smaller spots should be affected
than the larger ones, as if any chemical
disintegration set in it could scarcely be
selective.
A few lines received from Professor
Barnard some days ago on this subject
will have much interest, not only for
astronomers, but for the educated world at
large.
With his usual courtesy he explains as
follows:
81 certainly do lot understand DIR. Rob-
erts' statement. 1t would imply that his
negatives were lmperfectly treated, in that
they were either not fixed enough or not
washed sufficiently.
III they were silver prints / would un-
derstand that by fading he would lose
stars but a carefully treated negative is
as permanent as things of this kind can be.
II have negatives-not star pictures,
however-in my possession that are over
twenty-five years old, and they appear as
good as ever. They were by the wet plate
process, and by care I shall expect them
to be as good quarter of a century hence.
L mink the ELECTROMAGNETIC Congress
will have nothing to fear by deterioration
of their plates if they are carefully fixed
and washed"
Professor Barnard's skill as O celestial
photographer entities his remarks to the
fullest confidence, and it is satisfactory to
know that there is not any hitherto unde-
tected decay lurking in plates that have
been dealt with in professional manner.
1t is TO be earnestly hoped that the as
surance may soon arrive that the plates
ordered by the Photographic Con-
gress are above suspicion.

Some Interesting Chat About the
Artistic Father and the Lit

While Rudyard Kipling is preserving the
brogue of Sergeant Mulvany his father is
preserving the original art of India with
the same care and patience that his son
operates on his favorite Irishman.
B. Ribbentrop, Inspector General of
Forests to the Government of India, at
present guest at the Occidental Hotel
and recently resident of Lahore, is well
acquainted with both father and son.
Il know the writer's father quite we'll
He is at the head of the School of Arts in
India, and has done more to preserve the
native art of that country than any other
man living. He has prepared himself
carefully in the ethnic art of the country,
and is familiar with its foundation. While
he is modern painter and artist himself.
he has kept his eye on. the original school
of India, and preserved some of its rarest
productions. There is peculiar antiquity
about it that makes it valuable from sew
eral standpoints, and it has been his mis-
sion and desire to see that it does not die
out among the natives.
Personally Mr.. Kipling is q man of or
binary stature, with massive and remark
able head. 1t is well balanced and at once
striking to look at. His hair is getting
face that is quite unusual in a man of his
age. He is very proud of Rudyard and
carefully reviews everything the young
man writes. l recollect very we'll the first
literary work Rudyard produced. He
came to Lahore from London to work on
the CIVIL and Military Gazette, and in q
snort time he was so familiar with all the
people OF the locality that heissued little
book called Department Ditties.' 1t was
fullof humor and satire and attracted great
deal OF attention. In a short time he was
sent around the world as correspondent

there, and his success is our pride
Very few people know it, but Rudyard

A TRUTHFUL METER.
NickeI-in- tn Slot Affair Now In Use in
New York.

N1ckeI-1n Bne- SLOT Ama1F NOW In use In
New York.
AS turned on by the nickel-in-the-slot
system is an innovation from England that
has been adopted by the Consolidated Gas
Company of New York City, and the ''pre-
payment meter" so-called may in time
succeed the present method of measuring
gas as consumed in small households.
In London a dozen rival machines are
in vogue. The most popular ones are the
'spenny Slots" A coin of this value is
dropped into small opening and gaslight
is furnished for an hour or so. This class
of meter is very popular among the poorer
people, many of whom use gas only on
state occasions. The penny gas-machines
are also very popular with single gentle
men of limited means who live in lodgings.
The prepayment meters introduced in
New York are not of the penny pattern.
A silver quarter is the coin required to
release the illuminating fluid. The mech
anism is simple yet delicate. The size
of the coin, not its weight, is what re-
leases the machinery. For twenty-five
at the regular rate of 81 Is per 1000. The
gas need not be used continuously. A
special indicator on the face of the dial,
which is supposed to show how much
gas goes through the meter, moves out
to the 2O0-foot mark as soon as the coin
is deposited. AS the gas is used this
indicator returns to the zero point. Me-
tiers of this class are placed in the con-
sumer's room or fat. so that the number
of feet still to be burned may be seen
at glance at the dial. The machine is SO
arranged that two, three or four quarters
may be placed in the slot, and thus 400,
900 or 1000 feet of gas purchased. The me-
ter will register and give credit for 200 feet
of gas every time coin of the proper di-
mansions is placed in the receiver.
Treasurer Doane, of the gas company,
believes that the prepayment meter will
become as popular in the large cities of
America as it is in London, especially
New York World.
