ASTRONOMY IN SOUTH AFRICA
Georgetown University to Establish q
Branch Observatory There,

The ohfcials Of the Georgetown University
have. after many months of consideration,
decided to establish great observatory In
South Africa. The heavenly bodies which
are visible from that far-off land have
been carefully studied by astronomers re-
Gently, and the officials of the university
have endeavored to gain all. information
which will In any way aid the student
From the observatory on the Georgetown
University grounds have been issued many
volumes containing data pertaining to the
study Of the heavens which have been con-
coded to be most valuable to the astrona-
mical student. The Hazen charts. which
have been published from time to time, are
the work of Rev. Father Hazen, s. j., of the
local Institution, and show the maps Of the
heavens OF the northern hemisphere and
extend far toward the south.
1t Is the purpose of the officials of the
Georgetown University to continue the
study Of astronomy until the heavens are
entirely mapped out and every visible star,
from the largest to the smallest, is known.
Rev. Edmund Goetz, s. j.. well known as
an authority on such researches. who was
one of the first to advocate the establish
ment of an observatory In southern lands,
has been assigned the task of carrying the
plans to completion. He Is now on his way
to Bulawayo Rhodesia, South Africa which
Is considered to be best adapted for the site
OF such an Institution. owing to it's climatic
condition, altitude and surroundings. Father
Goetz Is accompanied on his expedition by
a number Of scientific men, who are anx-
ious to make a thorough study of the
heavens. The party is expected to arrive
in Paris within the next few days They
Will not tarry long In the French capital
and will take up the journey to Bulawayo
as soon as the necessary instruments are
procured.
The local observatory In Georgetown Uni
versity grounds and the new institution Will
he In constant Gal nd
discoveries in the southern land Will be
made known from this city. Father Goetz
Is widely known as an astronomer, he hav-
ing studied in this country and Europe.

ADMINISTRATION SATISFIED.
Response to Presidents Request for
Antitrust Legislation.

Attorney General Knox has made the fol-
lowing statement relative to the antitrust
laws enacted by Congress at this session:
The legislation affecting the trusts passed
at this session Of Congress Is satisfactory to
the administration and the prompt response
to the Presidents requests Is highly graft
flying A very long stride in advance has
been accomplished and the promises Of last
fall have been made good.
The giving and taking of railroad re-
bates is now prohibited by a law capable
of effective enforcement against corpora
lions, as well as Individuals; and the courts
of the United States are clothed with juris-
diction to restrain and punish violations.
The act creating the Department Of Conn
merce vests in that department complete
authority to investigate the organization
anG business methods of corporations en-.
gagged in interstate and foreign commerce,
and to that end to compel the testimony
of persons having the desired knowledge.
The legislation Is concise In its terms. but
very comprehensive in its scope. Under its
provisions fair opportunity will be afforded
to test the effect upon the tendency toward
Industrial monopoly of its guarantees Of
no favors for the great producer as against
the small one.
Discretion il lodged in the President as
to the publication Of facts useful to be
publicly known and a wise administration
Of the law promises much that Is helpful
and nothing that Is harmful
THE law to expedite the hearing OF cases
and giving an appeal directly to the SUI
preme Court from the court of first In
stance assures within a reasonable time
authoritative decisions upon important
pending questions In the knowledge Of which
future legislation. II necessary. can be con-
ddentIy framed
Upon the whole the situation Is emil
nently satisfactory and 10 the result of
concesstona notifications OF vfewa ana
forms Of expressions upon the paxt OF many
earnest and thoughtful men. who have

meet q rational pubic demand In RATIONAL

POST cANTEEN ACCOUNTS.
Extent Of Responsibility Of the Officer
in Charge.

First Lieutenant William L. Lowe, 18th
Cavalry. has been on trial before a general
court-martial at Fort Meade, s. D., on the
charge of neglect of duty while In charge
Of the post canteen. 1t is alleged that he
was careless In the administration of his
trust, and as result the accounts Of the
canteen were allowed to run short, mainly
through the non-payment of their obi.ga-
lions by certain members Of the post, some
of whom have since left the service. Colo
mel Jacob Kline, 2fst Infantry. is president
and First Captain Charles r. Rowland, o1st
Infantry. Is judge advocate Of the court
The court will probably determine the ex-
tent Of the responsibility vested in the
canteen officer. and In that respect will
serve as a precedent for action In similar
cases at other posts.

FOOD IN THE NAVY.
Good Quality az Necessary as Good
Ammunition.

Good food Is Just as important as good
ammunition and good guns" says Rear
Admiral Kenney, chief Of the bureau of
supplies and accounts, land 1t is the policy
OF the government to give tine men good,
wholesome food, Of as near uniform quail
ty as possible, and as tastefully and pala-
tably prepared as we can get cooks to pre-
pare 1t. We believe that with the present
ration we can feed the men In quantity and
variety well enough so that they are not
compelled to use a part of their pay for
additional food. This 10 an important con-
sideratlon, and gives to the pay Of the Ell
listed men Of the navy Of the United states
an actual value very considerably beyond
the enlisted mems pay of any navy in the
world"
The remarks were called forth by the re-
cent comment Of the London Daily Express
on the mess cook book issued for the use Of
the United States navy. The Express re-
marked: 1.-THE American navy for a hun
dred years has had the reputation of being
the best-fed navy in the world.
Speaking of the condition existing in the
British navy, the Express says:
THE delay in improving the food Of the
British bluelacket is causing much discon-
tent on the lower deck. Promises have been
given by the admiralty which have not
British bluejacket is little better than 1t
was forty years ago. The assertions from
our 0he British) North American squadron
and from the Pacific squadron when lying
in Esqutmault are mainly due to the con-
trast between the food Of the British navy
and that served out by Uncle Sam. The
nisgardliness of the state prevents the blue
jacket or the stoker from sending his wages
home to his wife. A good portion Of them
has to be spent on food. Under the exist
ing admiralty arrangements, the food OF
the bluejackets In time of peace is scan
daL and no arrangements have been made
for supplying fresh meat, ice and fresh
vegetables to blockading squadrons in time
Of war"
The Express comments with much JUNCTION
on the excellent quality of the food pro-
vided In the American navy, and commends
the care and solicitude displayed by the
Navy Department that the food shall be
properly and tastefufly prepared, and makes
a strong plea for an improvement in the
character and quality of the food supplied
to the enlisted men in the British naval
service
This comment from English sources in
support of the contention that the navy
ration of the United States, even before the
recent Increase, was the best navy ration in
the world and that the United States has
always fed its sailors better than any other
nation Is regarded with a good deal of in
terest by naval authorities.
