theory of Major Mcigs, civil engineer
of keokuk, Ia. which was recently ad-
vanced by him al a meeting of the Mis-

obtained here from the oil wells at a very
small cost. Two of the muddiest streets

piled before the winter sets in. If, during
the winter season, it proves a success, il
will mean much TO this section and will

CELESTIAL PHOTOGRAPHY.
TIE Sensitive Plate Reveals More Than
the Eye Can See.

the Eye Can See.
In ST. Nicholas there is an article on
"Photography-Its Marvels," by Eliza.
beth Flint Wade The author says;
Almost the first use in science to which
the new discovery was put was the photo
graphing of the moon, the first recorded
picture being made by Professor 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 II he determined b. make one
like 1t. The reputation of the Yankee boy
that he can make not only the thing he
undertakes, but also the machine that
makes twas proved to be deserved by
Henry Draper, for he made and he mount
ed the first American rejecting telescope
With 1t he took over l., 500 photographs of
the heavens, and the instrument is still in
use in Harvard observatory.
The telescope not only reveals more than
can be seen by the eye alone, but the SEN
sitiye film surpasses the power of the eye
when aided by the telescope, for the camera
records on the film objects which the eye
cannot see through the greatest magnify
ing lenses. No matter how far away or
how dimly II shines, the light of the faint
est star in time impresses the film, and
thus that which Is invisible to the eye be-
comes visible on the plate.
In celestial photography the camera is
kept moving during the taking Of pic
ture. The exposure sometimes lasts sew
eral hours and if the camera were station
airy the motion Of the earth would soon
carry the subject out of line with the tele-
scope. 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 clockwork the tele
scope moves SO that the subject occupies
the same position on the plate during the
exposure.
1t is another curious feature of celestial
photography that a plate may be exposed
several nights on the same subject. l have
seen star cluster and nebule pictures
which were exposed, the former on two
and the latter on four successive evenings
The picture showing the nebul@ required
a total exposure of ID hours and A min
uteS.

nently resident in a foreign country.
No minister shall solemnize a mar
| riage except in the presence of at least

Every minister of the church shall

the register of the parish in which the
marriage takes place the name, birth
| place, age and residence Of each party,
and such record shall be signed by the
minister who performs the ceremony
| and by at least two witnesses of the
| marriage.
| No minister OF this church shall sol.
emniZe the marriage of either party to
