old one designed by Father Fargis. This
is the third valuable invention to be
credited to Georgetown, the two others
being the FLOATING Zenith Telescope"
and the ''Reflecting Zenith Telescope
the latter being by Rev. Jose Algue, S. j.,
the director of the observatory at Manila,
in the PHILIPPINE Islands, and now doing
special work at Georgetown.
The new Fargis transit is an instsument
into which the stars peep and leave their
photographs as souvenirs OF their trip
across the meridian.
The meridian at Georgetown is about as
exact as mathematical calculation can
make it. It was established before the
laying of the ocean cable with reference
to the Greenwich meridian, and when tele-
graphic communication was bad between
the two continents the calculations of the
Georgetown astronomers were found to be
less than three-tenths of a second out of the
absolutely correct measurement.
The Fargis instrument is TO be placed di-
rectly on the meridian. The meridian is
marked on the north and south of the in
strument by two other astronomical de-
vices, which are known as callimators.
Perpendicularly across the face of each of
these is fine spider line. When the transit
is in position between these, 1T is mere
matter of mechanical adjustment to align
IL with the true north and south spider lines
of the collimators.
AS CLEAR AS AIR.
The object glass of the Photographic
transit is of the finest French crown Tint
glass and is as transparent as the air itself.
1t is fifty-four inches in length. 1t has no
eve piece, but at the focal distance is
placed a sensitive plate for receiving the
impression of the star when it crosses the
object glass.
There is revolution of invention even
in this sensitive plate. In the instruments
now in use the sensitive plate is attached
to the instrument and is moved by an
electrical apparatus reg ulated by the
frequent touch of the observer. This
| is of course another element Of difficulty
| added to the personal equation. In the
Fargis instrument the sensitive plate is
| detached. This plate is one and one-half
| inches by two and one-half inches.
| 1t is known at what height above the
| horizon any given star will cross the
| meridian, and also the approximate time.
| The transit having been adjusted by the
| collimators the instrument is levelled at
| that particular point in the heavens. The
| star moving across the object glass throws
| it's image-a mere point-op the sensitive
| plate aud an impression is instantaneously
| made.
| DISTINCT IMPRESSIONS MADE.
| Just here comes into play an ingenious
device. If there were no interruptions the
| image would make q blurred useless line
on the plate Between the plate and the
lower aperture Of the telescope are fixed
| two bars, which open and close every
| secopd so that several distinct and separated
| impressions are obtained. Accurate meas
urements can, therefore. be made with 9

New Photographic Transit Made
for Georgetown College.
FATHER FARGIS' INVENTION
How the Stellar Bodies Are Made to
Leave a Record of Their Passage
Across the Mel idian-Value of the
Discovery to the Scientific World.

The most wonderful and unique star
gaZer in the world is the property of the
Georgetown University. 1t is a photo
graphic transit, and is now swinging with
perfect and most delicate adjustment on
its 200-pound axis in the manufacturing
establishment of G N. SaegmulIer, No. lOS
Second street southwest.
This instrument has been constructed for
the college chiefly through bequest of
S4, 900 from the late Mrs Maria Coleman,
Of San Francisco. whose son Is a recent
graduate with distinction at this insti-
tuition. 1t will he soon removed to the
observatory at the college
The problem of astronomers of late years
has been to get an absolutely correct record
of the passa ge OF a star across the meridian.
ELIMINATING PERSONAL EQUATION.
Many transits have been used to that
end, but while the mechanical construc-
ton has been approximately perfect, the
manipulations of the operator being not
mechanical lily correct, errors constantly
crept in, these errors being technically
known as the personal equation" The
elimination of this fruitful source OF error
would necessarily be a triumph of skin
and boon 10 the science OF astronomy.
The errors under the prevailing system
were of the eye and ear Listening to
the beats of a clock and observing a star,
and endeayoring to note time and place
simultaneously were difficulties which
threw a cloud at least over a great many
observations, which also differed with the
temperament of the recorder.
Seven years ago experiments were begun
at Georgetown looking to the making of
these records by photograph. Prof Big
Glow, of the United States Weather Bu-
reau, began experiments at Harrow in
1888 and in 1889. These were aban-
doned in that year, and were resumed at
once by Father Fargis, of the Georgetown
Observatory staff, he having been given
charge OF the work by Director Hagen.
FATHER FARGIS' INVENTION.
The result of this investigation has been
the invention of the Photographic transit,
which reduces this kind of observation to
an exact science. 1t is also called the

AFRAID OF HIS WIFE.
Walter Newman Fears She May XIII
Him and Wants a Divorce.

Walter Newman Fears She May XIII
Him and Wants "A Divorce.
Walter Z Newman, a railwa Y conductor,
who lives at No. 4o4 South Capitol street,
says his wife has threatened his life, and
he fears that she may attempt to carry the
threat into execution. He therefore asks
for a divorce A bill in equity in his behalf
was filed yesterday by B. F. Leighton as
attorney.
The couple were married here on March
2, 1856, by Rev Charles W. Baldwin,
and have three children, Gertrude, Walter
and Rachel, aged, respectively, eight, six,
and four years. Mrs. Newman's maiden
name was Elizabeth j. Golden.
Mr.. Newman says that two years ago his
wife was unfaithful to him with one Rose
and he Immediately left her and began pro-
ceedings for divorce But upon her repent
ance and earnest entreaty he condoned her
offense, withdrew the suit, and returned
to live with her This of course, was upon
the express condition that she would con-
duct herself thencefOrth in all respects as
q true and faithful wife This she has
wholly failed and refused to do. From
March 8, 1894, TO May Is, 1895, she be-
haved toward him with intolerable cruelty
In October, 1893, she threatened to kill
him, and again in June or July of this
year she has repeated the threat. She is
awoman ofungovernabletemper and, hehas
ground to believe, may kill him. At any
rate, her conduct is such as to endanger
his health.
Furthermore, Mr. Newman wants the GUS
tody of the children. He says his wife as
sociates with bad women and uses pro-
fame language, habitually neglects her
children leaving the baby, four years old,
with neigh bors, who take it out of kindness
and are not responsible, for day a time
while she is away on excursions, and en-
courages their son, Walter, to spend much of
his time with her step-father, Mr.. Mount,
q man of grossly intemperate habits. In
addition she is having their daughter Ger
trude trained in skirt aHd fancy dances and
compelled her to remain away from school
for the purpose much OF the last school year.
On the other hand, Mr. Newman says, his
income is steady, about $50 90 per month,
and be is able and competent to take care
of the children.
