passes the power of the eye when aid
ed by the telescope, for the camera
records on the films objects which the
eye can not see through the greatest
magnifying lenses. No matter how far
away or how dimly it shines, the light
of the faintest star in time impresses
the film, and thus that which is invis-
ible to the eye becomes visible on the
plate. In celestial photography the
camera is kept moving during the TAX
ing of picture. The exposure some
times lasts several hours, and if the
camera were stationary the motion of
the earth would soon carry the subject
out of line with the telescope. The
camera, therefore, is attached to the
tube of the telescope, and the object to
be photographed is brought into the
lens at the intersection of two cross
wires. Then, by a system of clock
work, the telescope moves so that the
subject occupies the same position on
the plate during the exposure. In
the picture of the Swift comet may be
seen small white lines. These are the
marks or trails of the stars. The
telescope was adjusted to the speed of
the comet, and as it travelled much
faster than the stars the photographs
of the stars appear as streaks instead
of as points CT light. It is another
curious feature of celestial photogra-
ply that a plate may be exposed sew
eral nights on the same subject l
have seen star cluster and nebulae pic
lures which were. exposed, the former
on one and the latter on four success
sive evenings. The picture showing
the nebulae required a total exposure
of thirteen hours and forty-four min
utes.

that worry the quiet man to death.

skipping is one Of those wild, glad
'gushers, who, when she has nothing
else to rave over, raves with joy be-

happens to be; she is equally depressed,
and lives in a see-saw atmosphere Of
exultation or despair.

In September st. Nicholas there is

author says: Almost the first use in
science to which the new discovery
was put was the photographing of the
moon, the first recorded picture being
made by Prof. Draper, and presented
to the New York Lyceum of Natural
History. His son Henry grew SO fond
OF astronomical photography that on
leaving college he went to Ireland to
see the great rejecting telescope of
Lord Rosse. After seeing it he deter
mined to make one like it. The repu-
tation of the Yankee boy-that he can
make not only the thing he undertakes
but also the machine that makes it
was proved to be deserved by Henry
Draper, for he made and he mounted

photographs Of the heavens; and the
