NEBULAE NEAR THE PLEIADEs.
\ Recent NindicutiOn of Prof. Bar
nnrh's Photographic work.
(t'rom The New York Iribnne)


Since photography has been applied TO
astronomical research, many facts have
been discovered that were formerly un-
known. Prof. E. E. Barnard, formerly of
Lick Observatory, and now OF the ierkeS
Observatory staff. has been conspicuous
for his contributions 10 this department
of knowledge But somehow or other he
has incurred the Jealousy or ill-will of
famous English astronomical photographer,
DR.. Roberts The latter has stoutly de-
clared that the limit OF possible investiga-
ton with the sensitive plate has been
reached by him, and that it is useless TO
expect anything more in the future. And
when Prof Barnard goes and discovers
something new.r DIR. Roberts finds il con-
venient to dispute the evidence OF the
plates.
About five years ago the American just
mentioned obtained some pictures of the
region about the Pleiades, and was thus
led to assert that there were large wlsps
of nebulous matter entirely exterior to
that well-known group. The existence OF
nebulae. which were apparently attached
to three or four of the brighter stars in
the Pleiades has been known for fifteen
or twenty years: and some OF the most
exquisite photographs of the heavens are
those which reveal them. But Prof. Bar
nard was the first to report with conn-
dence that there were others. much fainter
and more extensive, outside.
Comics of his plates have been in the
possession of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety in England for two or three years
And having had ample time to examine
them and tried in vain to get an impression
of the new nebuiae with his own appa-
ratus, Dr. Roberts published a criticism OF
Prof. Barnard's work last summer, in
which he called in question the genuine
ness of the discovery. He pronounced the
streaks spurious. and attributed them to
some OF the familiar accidents of this class
OF work.
But corroboration of the original testi-
mony has now come from an Independent
source DR.. II. c. Wilson. of the Carleton
College Observatory in Minnesota. who has

NATURAL INK FOR RosEBERY.
: Gallon of GcorSia's Queer Product
Sent the English Stntesmnn.

Charlottesville, Ga. correspondence 81. Louis
GlObe-DemocTat.)
One of the intimate friends OF Alex
ander H. Stephens, the Vice President
of the COnfederacy, has just shipped to
England gallon OF natural ink, q product
OF Georgia soil. to the address OF Lord
Rosebery. the distinguished politician who
once held the reins of the British govern
ment. This little incident eliminates
peculiar and interesting story. Some
twenty years ago when Stephens was in his
prime Lord Rosebery visited the United
States. The two men met. and In a few
weeks were on an intimate footing. Mr..
Stephens had a genial manner. splendid in
tellect. and brilliant conversational abili
ties. Lord Rosebery was much attached to
him, and they spent much time together.
Toward the end of the Engiishman's stay
he accepted the invitation OF Mr.. stephens
and came for few weeks to the parti-
archal homestead near this town. Craw-
fordsyiile was then in its swaddling
clothes. and fine specimen of the quiet
American country town. Lord Rosebsry
was charmed with the hospitality OF the
people and the many quaint characters he
found here. and declared he had spent one
OF the pleasantest times In the history of
his life. Among other interesting things
which stephens showed him was some nat
ural ink. which flows from a peculiar
spring at the base OF Kennesaw Mountain
near Marietta. Ga, and which he used for
all purposes of record and correspondence.
The liquid was little heavier than the
manufactured article. but left a permanent
STAIN which made it a valuable agent
where documents were to be preserved.
Lord Rosbery finally returned home. and
kept UP a constant correspondence with
Mr.. Stephens until the latter's death. \
few days since the heirs OF the former Vice
President received letter from the former
Premier asking that some OF the ink be
bottled and sent to him, as ne wished to
exhibit it to his friends and adopt it for
his personal use. il practicable His re-
quest was complied with. and In a few
days the ink will arrive in England and
lie shown around as a natural freak from
America

times at short range Saturday after.
noon and that several shots we're fred
at the senator at the same time from
behind the court house. He was hit in
the foot and his neck was grazed by a
bullet. but neither wound is serious.
j. s. Ledford, a friend of Clark, shot
several times at Hays and the senator
also got in couple at his assailants,
and IL is thought that the fellow who
shot from behind the building is
wounded, but he had not been caught.
The trouble began several years ago be-
cause Senator Clark bolted Hunter for
L. S. Senator and was renewed in the
hot race for the republican nomination
for State Senator.
