| States, equipped with powerful tel
escapes, which lie idle and therefore
useless a great part of the night. Such
an unfortunate state of things has
grown up because individual donors
have given money here and there with
out consulting the actual needs of the
science of astronomy.
Yet the stream of gifts continues
to flow. There is no science more dis
tinctly to the imagination, than the
study of the starry heaveis. Conse-
quently money is given freely by in
dividuals to this institution and that
The expenses of conducting the
worlds leading observatories seem
| considerable, even in these days of
large figures. The annual incomes
of the five richest observatories are as
follows: navy observatory, Washing
ton, $4,000; Paris, S53,0000; Harvard,
$50, 1000; Greenwich, SAC 900; Pulkowa,
$4,000. The resources of the Harvard
observatory. aggregatinf more than
$4,000 represent about one-ffteenth
of the total resources of the univer-
sity. The whole amount expended an
nually upon astronomical research is
said to be not less than half a million
dollars, representing the interest, at
five per cent, upon $4,000, 900. An ad-
ditfon into this capital of one million
| dollars, to serve the function of co-or-
dinating and regulating astronomical
efforts would, Professor Pickering be-
lieves, have the immediate effect of
enhancing the usefulness of every
really active observatory in the world
Existing funds for research are all
passive in the sense that they wait for
applications and then consider what
appropriations can be made This
fund would be active. seeking out the
men and the institutions where aid
might be needed: where instruments
not in use might be available for
work; where otherwise valuable ma
terial might remain unpublished and
consequently useless for lack of
means.
The director calls attention to
funds already established and avail
able. with which he is personally con-
nected, such as the Rumford fund of
the American academy, with a princi-
pal of $50 1000. available for investiga-
tons in the departments of heat and
light; the Elizabethan Thompson
science fund. with q principal Of $780,

cations in all departments of science,

Cambridge, Mass, April 21-What
a million dollars would do for the
science of astronomy; how a great
beneficient trust might be formed
among tn eworld's leading astronom-
ers; how a board of advisers, consist
ing in part of directors OF the princi-
pal observatories of the United States
an din part of older astronomers re
tired from active work, could appor-
ton the income from sucn a 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 dream described in a
special report just issued by Profess
sor Edward c. Pickering, director Of
the Harvard astronomical observa-
tory: and it is a dream that, con-
sideringthe fact that the endowment
of the Observatory in his charge has
been Increased from $4,000 to $685.
600 In the past quarter of a century,
-Yay seem to stand a fair chance OF be-
ing realized.
At any rate, Professor Pickering.
is SO fully convinced that the PROPOSE
ton of incorporating, as it were. an
astronomical trust with capitaliza-
ton of one million. or even two mil
lin dollars. is feasible that he has had
no hesitancy in outlining and publish
ne it with considerable fullness OF
detail. Such a scientific organization
would have all the advantages, he be-
lieyes. of the commercial or industrial
trust and none of its Objectionable
features. mo one he says, could
object to a trust in wheat, for eX-
ample. if its only object were to in
crease the quality and especially the
quantity of the crop and TO furnish II
AT the lowest possible rates, while all
the time aiding those who are not
members of the trust in every possible
wav 1t is universally admitted
that in the industrial arts there is
great advantage in cooperation and in
carving on work on large scale the
SINE remarks apply to scientific in
yestigation, with the added advantage
that the supply and demand are IN
definitely great. so that the market
can never be glutted.
The general plan urged by PROBES
sor Pickering is as follows: He would
have a central board Of advisers. com
nosed of leading astronomers OF the
United States who would meet at least
once a year-and probably at first
oftener-to determine the apportion-

Il should say that If Senator Fair
banks were to declare himself a pres

whether the senator has any notion
OF getting into the race, but If he
should imagine his candidacy would
be favoTa5ly received in many states

business ability, conservative judg-
ment and general clearheadedness is
national and this would make him a

ment of the income of the astronomi-
cal trust fund-an income, by the way,
that should amount to at least S. 900
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 per-
formed Every danger of duplication
of work would thus be eliminated
This is indeed a most serious consid-
Grafton in astronomy, for hitherto a
most disheartening sort of waste of
time, money, and energy has been
noted among astronomical observa-
tories throughout the world. For
example, fifty observatories set out
to observe the planet Eros during its
opposition in 1900, but so far as is
known only two or three have made
tnc reductions necessary to render
their observations of any value.
Not only would the special endow-
ment of this new Institution have to be
managed by the board, but close con-
nection with all astronomical research
funds would need to be established as
fast as possible in order that the in
comes from these, too, should be ap-
piled in the most effective way. In
fact, it would be desirable to secure
maximum of Capitalization of astro-
nomical interests in the hands of the
one board. Membership in the organ
ization, however, would certainly have
no effect upon the amount of the ap-
preparation offered to any given OBJ
servatory; all that would be neces-
sary would be evidence of capacity to
do the required work.
One advantage of this Capitalization
scheme is that the results from the
large sums of money at present in
vested in astronomical plants would at
once begin to yield richer return
than now, Tor II must not be supposed
that every dollar given by generous
friends of science to the cause of this
science is producing IDEAL results. AS
a matter of history, we had at one
time in the United States a great OBJ
servatory with no telescope in it,
great telescope without a trained as
tronomer; and distinguished astron-
omer whose valued observations, the
outgrowth of years of hard work,
were rendered useless for lack of a
few hundred dollars to publish them.
Even at this writing there are beauti-
full observatories in the United

Joy of the Fisher Folk.

Haugesund, Norway, was greatly ex-
cited early this month. The herring
had come, and the excitement was in
tense in the extensive preparations for
their capture. In few days the pop
ulation had trebled and every man
was clad in oiled clothing and was.
very busy. The harbor was a forest
of masts, and it was stated that one
could walk from the landing to the is
lands in the bay on fishing smacks,
they were so thick. The catch was
most satisfactory. Near Bergen the
swarm of herring was very large, and
If the weather had been better the
catch would have been the greatest
for many years, but the storms were
awful and the fishers did not get much
! more than last year. The prices are
somewhat better.

Watch the Russians.

Dr.. Olof orstrom, in a magazine
article, counsels Sweden and Norway
to make use of the Laps in the north
ern part of the two countries for mil
itary service. They are nomads, and
could not be brought under strict mill
tary discipline, but like the Cossacks
in Russia they could undoubtedly be
formed into valuable auxiliary.
They are very hardy and brave, and
their endurance is remarkable. For
scouting and patrol service the Lapps
would be Incompatible If properly or
ganized. A Lapp corps of at least
$500 men could easily be formed by
Sweden and Norway.

He became so interested in the
work, however, that he decided TO take
a course at the Harvard law school.
A year after completing his studies
he was appointed a professor in the

Norway was Right.

Now that the negotiations between
Norway and Sweden regarding the
separation of the consular service
have reached happy conclusion and
Norway has been conceded all her de-
mands, it is well to recall the words
of Minister de Geer, Sweden's leading
statesman in latter days, in his
memoirs, published in 1892. He
therein declared that in reality the
Norwegians were correct in the posi-
tion which they had taken 1t Is not
proper that the one people shall yield
more OF its sovereign rights than the
other, for it thereupon becomes to
greater or less extent dependent. II
