Our Nearest Planet Neighbor

The little planet discovered last Au-
gust by Witt of Berlin has at last been
duly christened by the name of Eros,
the mischievous boy of Venus Aphro-
dite. 1t has also received the number
433 in the list of asteroids; rather
against the will of the discoverer, who
contends that because Eros comes 50
much nearer to the earth than any
other plant, it cannot fairly be count
ed in the asterodal family.
1t was, of course, expected that some
of the hundreds of Photographic plates
made in previous years would SHOW
impressions of the planet, but for a
long time every search failed. AT last.
however, late in December, Mrs. flem-
ing of the Harvard college obserVa-
tory, guided by the calculations of DR..
Chandler, detected a faint image of it
upon one or two plates made at Cam
bridge in 1896.
BY the help of these DR.. Chandler was
able, in turn, to make his computation
so much more accurate that trace of the
planet We're Immediately found on a
considerable number of other plates
made both at Cambridge and Arequipa
in 1894 and we'll as 1896. From these
Photographic observations, combined
with the observations made since the
discovery, the orbit of the planet is
now determined with an eXactneSs
which otherwise would have demanded
years, and there will not be the slight
est difficulty in finding it at its next APP
proach in 1901.
It is a beautiful instance of the man
ner in which the methods of the old and
new astronomy can be made to aid anG
supplement each other, and puts tai
feather in the cap of American astron-
