Boston, Feb. 15-While the attention of the
world has been drawn more or less closely to
the southern part of South America on account
of the rumors of impending war between Chilli

Btriking contrast in the smallness of their num-
bor to the two hundred or mere observatories in
the northern hemisphere.
The story Of the Harvard Arequipa station is
especially interesting In the present connection
as illustrating the advantages of a location on
the West Coast of South America and of the pos
abilities which unfolded to science in the
extension of astronomical research in this field

the success OF which may be called the warrant
for Mr.. Mills's gift to California.
The one great essential for success in nearly
all astronomical work is a perfect atmosphere.
Seeing as the astronomers call it, is a factor
OF the first Importance, so that it is little less
than extraordinary what great results have
been attained in the more less wavering at

new Chicago station not only does high altitude
carry the observer into clearer atmosphere.
but the climate is also exceptionally dry. so
there are fewer air currents rising and falling
to give that peculiar simmer noticeable, for
instance, over a railroad track on a hot day and
destructive to the best results in many classes
Of astronomical work.
The Arequpa station owes it's being to the
bequest of the late Uriah A. Boyden who left
a fund for the establishment of an observatory
at a high altitude, where the conditions for
observation should be favorable. The trustees
of the fund turned it over to the Harvard OBJ
rervatory. AT a height of 5000 feet between
the town of Arequipa and the great mountain.

located a commanding site in the centre of

After n soJourn Of several weeks in

and was warmly greeted by those of
his friends who thus far have escaped

"R. T. E" was the hero of the hour

Any ex.convict IS usually received
joyously, and B. L. was no exception

involuntary occupation of chipping
turpentine boxes or cutting timber, il
he ever did much at either.
