There are some 1000 Americans scat
tered through the territory which is the
scene of the trouble with the Iaqui In
dams in Mexico, and it is likely TO go
hard with them. The magnitude of the
uprising of these Indians may be best
appreciated when you know that the
Mexican war department estimates that
il will take 10000 troops to conquer the
Yaquis. If they have reached their old
stronghold in the Sahuaripa mountains
the war is likely to last year or two,
and possibly five.

The steamer Cevic, which made the
port of New York few days ago,
brought strange cargo from India.
She had aboard 10000 bags of copper
coins used in India, the consignment
weighing $50 tons. The coins were for

A RECENT YINDICATION OF PROFESSOR BAR
NARDs PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK.
Since photography has been applied to astro-

cred that were formerly unknown Professor
E. f. Barnard, formerly of Lick observatory
and now of the Yerkcs Observatory staff has
feen conspicuous for his contributions to this
department of knowledge But somehow or
other he has incurred the jealousy or ill-will OF
n famous English astronomical photographer.
DR.. Roberts The latter has stoutly declared
that the limit OF possible investigation with the
sensitive plate has been reached by him, and
that il IS useless to expect anything more in the
future And when Profes cor Barnard goes and
discovers something new, DR.. Roberts finds II
convenient dispute the evidence Of the plates.
About five years ago the American Just men
toned obtained some pictures Of the region
about the Pleiades. and was thus led to assert
that there were large wiSps OF nebuous matter

existence of nebular which were apparently at

twenty years and some of the most exquisite
photographs Of the heavens are those which re-
veal them But Professor Barnard was the first
to report with confidence that there We're others,
much fainter and more extensive OUTSIDE.
Copies Of his plates have been In the posses
sion OF the Royal Astronomical Society In Eng
land for two or three years. And having had
ample time to examine them and tried In
vain 10 get an impression Of the new nebul;e
with his own apparatus DIR. Roberts published
a criticism OF Professor Barnard's work last
summer, in which he called In question the
genuineness OF the discovery. He pronounced
the streaks spurious. and attributed them TO
some OF the familiar accidents Of this class OF
work

has now come from an indepo ndent source. DR..
