What a million dollars would
do for the science Of astronomy;
how a great benefcent trust might be
formed among the worlds leading as
tronomers; how a board OF advisers.
consisting in part Of directors of the
principal observatoTies of the United
States and in part of older astronomers
retired from active work, could appor-
ton the income from such sum Of
money IN such manner that the best
possible astronomical use would be
made of it-such in essence is an as
tronomer's thoroughly practical dream
described in a special report just issued
by Prof. Edward C Pickering, director
of the Harvard Astronomical Observa-
tory, on the subject Of the Endowment
Of Astronomical Research And it is a
dream that. considering the fact that
the endowment of the observatory in his
charge has been increased from $4,000
TO 99O9. 900 in the past quarter of a cen
fury. may seem to stand a fair chance
Of being realized.
Confident of Success.
At any rate, Prof. Pickering-who has
already had good opportunities to see
the benefits derived from disbursements
Of even small sums Of money which have
enabled different observatories TO carry
on special Investigations GO fully
convinced that the proposition OF in
cooperating, as it were, an astronomical
trust with a capitalization OF one mil
lion. or even two million dollars, IS
feasible that he has had no hesitancy
in outlining and publishing it with con
siderable fuIIness of detail. Such
scientific organization would have all the
advantages, he believes. of the CONNER
cia1 or industrial trust. and none of It's
Objectionable features.

no one" he says. could object to a
trust in wheat. for example, If its only
object were TO increase the quality, and
especially the quantity Of the crop. and
20 furnish it at the lowest possible
rates, while all the time aiding those
who are not members OF the trust in
every possible way, It Is uni
versaIiy admitted that in the indus
trial arts there IS q great advantage
IN cooperation and in carrying on
work on large scale. The same re-
marks apply to scientific investigation,
with the added advantage that the sup
ply and demand are indefinitely great,
so that the market can never be gIut-
ted"
General Plan Outlined.
The general plan urged by Prof. Pick
ering is as follows: He would have
a central board OF advisers, composed
OF leading astronomers Of the United
States who would meet at least once a
year-and probably at first oftener-to
determine the apportionment of the in
come of the astronomical trust fund
an income, by the way, that should
amount 10 at least $4,000 annually to
accomplish the work that is, from the
astronomers point of view. Of pressing
Importance. This board would be able
to place various tasks Of observation and
calculation just where they could best
be performed. Every danger Of dupIica-
ton Of work would thus be eliminated
This is indeed most serious considera-
ton in astronomy, for hitherto a most
disheartening sort Of waste OF time.

CIeyerIy Told by a
Bright Observer.
FADS eF THE FOUR HUNDRED
Some Novelties in Fall Hats and
Gowns-Hints for Swell
Dressers.

New York. Sept. 12.-Now that
the first rush OF autumn gowns IS
over, it is well to consider the ad-
vance styles in fall and winter wraps.
However seasonable the all-white
gown may seem. for midwinter, there
will be little to counterfeit this ap-
pearance as far as wraps are con-
cereI, for some of the smartest coats
will be either of ermine or Of white
cloth trimmed with the light furs.
If the season could be Judged by
the window displayes of fashionable
shops, it would be .miG-winter, for in
terspersed between the new dresses
are the most exquisite furs. AL
though it may seem previous, it is
fact that the new peIts and cuts
have been on sale for he last fort
night and fur dealers are buster than
ever this year.
Dresses designed of the mannish
tweeds and mixtures, when worn
without wraps, viii have broad re-
yars Of fur to harmonic with the gen
eTaI cOloling Of the gown. IN charm
ing contrast to the light furs that will
be so much affected, the soft warm
browns have been revived so that
sable and beam marten that were put
somewhat in the shade last season
for silver fox and blue lynx will take
their place again in The ranks OF the
ultra-smart effects.
One CT the incCngruities Of the first
models is fur appliqued with en-
6roideTed cloth. The effect is very
rich and pretty, but there are few
| women who would be willing to spoil
an elegant piece Of fur for the sake
Of a fleeting adornment. no matter
| how fashionable it might prove for
! the moment.
A smart example OF this idea, how
| ever. is grey suit, Of rough sur
faced goods fecked with white silk
nairs The coat fits faultlassly and
buttons tightly 20 the waist, but has
more than the usual allowance Of tul-
| ness in the sllir1, which -a.l5 L tA2
knees. Opening over -es- of the
same materials are revers CT SPUR
rel applqued with fanciful medal
lions Of pearl grey cloth embroidered
! in silver. The same idea is carried
out in the cuffs of the rather close
fitting sleeves.
The skirt proper is long and grace
! fully cut, although not very full. The
big buttons which fasten the coat are
of smoked pearl.
| Completing the costume is a small
hat of dove grey fell. with a shiny
gloss to it. turned UP all round like
| sailor, with a particularly high tilt
at the left side. 1t is trimmed with
soft grey and white feather pom
pomis, the tips of one of the white
ones being tipped lightly and deli
cately with silver.
| Every imaginable decorative de-
| tail in tassels. twisted cord ornaments
and fringe is to be combined with fur
to make sJoles, pelerines and bolerOs
! of the winter. Buttons Of gold and
silver in the new art will be much
worn on these garments and the pre-
vailing furs will be moleskin, SPUR
rel and ermine.
