Chicago, Nov. 20.-Prof. G. w. Ritchey
of Yerkes observatory is reported to have
made a discovery in astronomy which
will make himself and the observatory
famous.
The discovery in brief Is the proof of
what is known as the ''nebular theory
and Professor Ritchey appears to have
reduced to a matter of certainty that
which has heretofore been merely bril-
liant hypothesis.
1t is claimed that he has done this in
obtaining photograph evidence of evo-
luton among the planetary bodies.
The Yerkes observatory is part of the
University of Chicago, though located at
Williams Bay, Lake Geneva, Wis. It
was endowed by Charles T. Yerkes OF
this city.
Professor Ritchey's observations, it is
claimed, not only prove the truth of the
celebrated nebular theory of creation
announced by the famous Frenchman,
La Place, and of the widely entertained
star clusters, have been formed by MIL
lions OF years of slow evolution from
great bodies of gaseous matter floating
in the inconceivable abysses Of space, but
also prove that nebula with a star for
nucleus changes its shape and the
quantity of light it emits, and that these
changes are so rapid as to be observable
within the compass of a few minutes.
Astronomers have for years believed
the nebulae were the matrices OF the
solar systems and star clusters like our
own, but no observer has been able to
see the slightest sign of change in the
structure. This has now been done by
Professor Ritchey, who is busily engaged
in preparing for the technical journals
an announcement of his discovery.

On the night of September 20 Professor
Ritchey photographed Nova OF Perseus

fact that the star was surrounded by q

SAILS FOR HOME.
COMBINES INTRAMURAL LINES
Comprehensive Scheme of the Famous
Chicago Traction Magnate to Con-
solidate and Control Entire
Tramway System.
fRX Associated preSS.l

New York, Nov. 2O.-A dispatch from
London says Charles 7. Yerkes, who is
sailing to New York for visit of a
ent to make the following statement
with regard to his traction plans for
London.
His plan is to form combination Of
ali the intra mural lines between London,
in order to gain facilities for reaching
different parts of the metropolis. His
acquisition of controlling interest in
the district underground railway was but
the beginning of his work. These diff
ferent roads he will connect with the
district railroads and with all the rail-
road stations besides extending some of
them into the country, thus constituting
complete net work of electrical traction
lines covering the whole metropolitan
area. He will place before parliament
this session. authorizing his syndicate
to build trolley lines, connecting with
all these roads and so eventually the peo-
pie will be brought from the suburbs
into the heart of the city. Even in this
way, considering the population of Lon
don and suburbs-about 1000 0oO-the
promoters think they will not be able to
carry all the traffic. The district rail-
road already has the privilege from
parliament to build what is called a deep
level road under its existing shallow
road. It is the intention of the Yerkes
Metropolitan District Electric Traction
company to build this line and use it
for express trains. The whole scheme
IS a very large one, involving many
million dollars of capital; but the pre-
1iminaries have been carried through
rapidly and quietly, no one knowing
what was being done until the work was
accomplished The Americans seem to
fully understand their business and Lon
doners look on in surprise. Ierkes is
supposed to have uniform fare and only
one class Of carriages on the entire
system. the same as on Central Lon
don-that is four cents for a distance of
five miles. He favors a liberal discount
for passengers travelling a considerable
distance. Yerkes expects that his sys-
TEN will probably be in operation with
in three years.

CORRALS COMMERCIAL CABLE
COMPANY CONTRACT.
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
Vice President Ward Explains That
America Has No Plant With Stuff
cient Facilities to Lay New
Pacific Line
(By Associated Press.)

New York. Nov. 2O.-George Ward,
first viee-president of the Commercial
Cable company said in an interview,
when asked why the contract for Pa
cific cable had not been awarded to an
American company:
The Commercial Pacific Gable COM
pany would have been very happy to
give an American company its contracts
but there is no company in the United
States, we felt, able to perform the
work.
They have not the machinery and we
could not afford to have the laying of
the cable take the form of an expert
ment. The Silvertown company has
been established for over so years and
have laid most Of the deep ocean cables
throughout the world, SO that it under
stands perfectly just how the work
should be accomplished.
Seven Months to Complete Cable.
THE company has assured us that
they will complete the cable and have
as this section extending to the Sand
witch Islands is complete and out of the
way, we shall commence work on an
other section that will connect the Ha-
waiian Islands with the Philippines.
Our station there will probably be on
the island of Luzon, near or in Manila.
We have not decided on that point yet,
nor have we fixed our schedule of rates,
but I may say speaking of rates, that
we shall reduce them to a reasonable
figure. We expect to have the work
completed in about two or three years.
$l5,OOO,OOO.
THE estimated cost Of the undertake
ing is about $4,000, 900, but we have
capitalized our company at only $3,o0o.-
900 because we prefer to increase cap
Utilization as we proceed rather than use
such a large figure at the beginning"
Mr. Ward said it was expected that
the new cable would allow Of the trans
mission of messages in nearly four hours
less time than required at present.

The rules of the institution compel a
coptinous outdoor life to be maintained
summer and winter. Each patient is
provided with a roomy tent. plenty of
warm clothing, blankets and a small
stove to be used only in extremely cold
weather. Experience has proven that
with proper food and clothing aud a life

heat is unnecessary and becomes abso-
lutely UNDESIRABLE to the patients who,

The hope of the physicians and others

colony of all consumptives who come to
Denver and thus take them off the
streets Of the city and out Of the ho-
tells and boarding houses where they
could never recover and where they are
