A certain doctor had occasion, when
only a beginner in the medical profess

opposing counsel in cross-examining

so young a man TO understand his busi-

that blockade is impossible because
of the coast line of the islands, which

Is Mars Inhabited?

IIOlessOr EuWard Y. pickering, oil
rector Of the Harvard college observ
atory, and one Of Americas most
eminent authorities on astronomy,
has 10 course Of construction in Cam
bridge the longest, and what he be-
lieyes will be, when finished, the mos,
powerful telescope in the world. II
may settle for all time the question
as to whether Mars is Inhabited.
Professor Pickering has originated
me OF the most useful apparatus
known to scientists, and he believes
that the success Of the ne6est pro
jected telescope, which is to have the
greatest focal range ofany instrument
ever designed, will be comparatively
As great as the success which attended
the introduction TO the world Of
science OF the Bruce telescope, an H.
strumeut which Professor Pickering
designed, and which is the shortest
telescope as well as one Of the most
satisfactory for celestial photography,
that is to be found anyp ere in the
world. The telescope VII be placed
horizontally, and the star, moon, or
whatever body is to be observed will
be reflected into it by means of a
mirror, The motion of the earth will
he counteracted by moving the photo
graphic plate by clock work.
The focal length of the new telescope
being more than one hundred times
the aperture, its possibilities are al.
most beyond cOnceptiOn-certainly
beyond accurate calculatiOn-as the
instrument is confidently expected to
bring to light discoveries in astron-
Omy as 10 which scientists have only
been able TO make cOniectures here
tofOre. 1t is also believed that sur.
prising results can be obtained with
Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and next
year it is believed that when the
planet Eros again approaches the
earth it will be Of the highest value
in solving the great problem of astrOn
omy, the exact distance of the sun
from the earth. Professor Pickering
does not say that the new telescope
will revOlutiOnlze the methods Of
astronomers, but he does expect
astonishing things Of it, even more
wonderful than he has outlined, for
it is his nabit to speak conservatlvely
OF such enterprises as he has on hand.
The results obtained by the Bruce
telescope, which he designed and pro-
jected, We're, and now are, far greater
than he led even his closest scientific
friends to believe that they might be-
1t is not unreasonable to presume
from his guarded statements that the
results which the new telescope will |
produce will be even greater, compar-
atively, than those Of the eminel.ly |
Bruce instrument.
The new telescope will be one Of !
the wonders Of the world, 100 feel |
longer than the great Yerkes tele- !
scope, and nearly 100 feet greater IN |
length than the one they are build
lug in Paris for the exposition next |
year. In comparison with the twelve |
cot long Bruce telescope it will look |
as big as thirteen-inch gun By the |
side Of mortar. Its range, however, |
will be vastly greater than that OF any |
telescope in the world, and ScierCe |
will, it is believed, take great strides
forward through its development.
