THE YERKES TELESCOPE.
The Largest and Best in the World and Al
Ready for Use.

Williams Bay, Wis. May 23.-The first
glimpse of the starry heavens through
the worlds greatest lens was given to
President Harper of the Chicago Univer-
sity, and a party of representative Chi
cagoans at the Yerlles observatory, Fri
day night.
The visitors were shown the two mo-
tons of the telescope, the clock was set
in motion, the lifting floor came up with
a motion almost mperceptible. the great
dome revolved and the telescope was
turned on Jupiter. Director Hale then
got the star in the field of the finder, and
President Harper was the first of the
visitors to look at the planet through the
Chicago University's great glass.
Jupiter is 800, 900, 900 miles distant from
the earth, roughly estimated, and the
Yerkes telescope brings it to less than
1000, 900 miles distant. The night seemed
an ideal one for observation The sky
was cloudless. but owing to the atmo-
Sphere disturbances of the day before
and the fall in temperature the seeing
was pronounced by the astronomers only
fair.
Professor Barnard declares that 1t is
not possible to estimate what the tele-
scope may do for science. 1t Will take
weeks and possibly months for the oper-
ators to successfully solve the problems
which the atmosphere may present

suits he said. This instrument collects
Lick This means great deal, since 1t
allows us to penetrate one-fourth further
into space. Were there no problems in
the space between heaven and earth and
the atmosphere an invariable quantity.
it would be reasonable to give the imagi-
nation swing and tell about what we
ought to do with the great telescope. We
have been fortunate in working with the
smaller telescope from this site. and from
this we are able to say that the Yerkes
telescope is located at practically an
ideal point.
at is already assured by reason of the
excellence of seeing experienced here in
the day time. that something definite
may be learned about Venus and Mercury
and the question of their rotation peri
DDS. We may possibly confirm either the
short or long period of rotation as as
signed to these planets by various OBJ
servers. We can reasonably expect much
concise and new information about the
moons of Jupiter their physical condition
ard periods of rotation. Saturn and his
rings will be fruitful fields. and we shall
be disappointed unless we are able to
bring down accurate knowledge of the
surfaces of Uranus and Neptune.
This telescope will show the world
much that is new concerning the aster.

Jupiter, and the science of ASTRONOMY
