There is no reason to doubt that the

of two hours each were made by Profes-
sor Bailey, and Phoebe's position v'ss

Of three hours failed to show the little

Phoebe Discovered by Photography.
The greatest advauce in astronomy
has been made since the advent of
photography. for the Photographic plate
and the speCtroscOpc are responsible for
many important discoveries. The pho
tographic plate has been found far
more sensitive than the human eye. and
the record made by lt has the advan-
tage over direct observation from the
fact that IL may be studied and meas
AT leisure. It was while examining
some Photographic plates made at the
Harvard Observatory annex at Are
quipa. Peru. in the early part Of ls99
that Prof. Pickering discovered Phoebe.
At that time there was not sufficient
data to determine her orbit accurately.

has been kept FOR the fckle moon, but

" HAT heeting Phoebe. saturn's
ninth and most mysterious satel-
lite, did not actually decide TO
mock all by icself." as recently
reported, has been conclusively proved
by Prot, Pickering, of Harvard Univer-
sity, the sponsor for this erratic maiden
ever since her discovery.
Reports from the Harvard astronomi-
cal observatory, at Arequlpa. Peru. had
1t that Pboebe disappeared last July and
refused 10 put in an appearance until
August. This rumor was based on the
fact that the little satellite did not
appear in the Photographic plates made
at Arequipa during July. But when
Prof. Pickering examined these plates
recently arrived al Cambridge from
Peru, he found the ninth satellite as il
should have been. In other words the
supposed vacation in July was an error

examined SO carefully as they are In

This is not the first time Phoebe
has elUded astronomers. for her TepuIa-
ton for icAleness has existed ever since
Prof. Pickering discovered her 1--WE years
ago. Immediately after Prof Picker
ing announced his important discovery,
Phoebe promptly refused 10 put In an

discoverer than the Harvard College
observer

Phoebe is a little moon. but is always
in the most tremendous hurry, travel
ing at a speed not far from 100,0o0 miles
a day. or something over sixty miles
minute
Notwithstanding this great speed,
Phoebe is one Of the slowest moving
of all the heavenly bodies.
Her diameter is something like 200
miles. and the light which shines in re-
Election from her surface Il so faint
that Phoebe is put way down in the
list for brightness. being Of the 16.7
magnitude.
AS has been said, Phoebe. who was
named by her disc0verer, is the ninth
satellite OF Saturn. and even now there
are here and there astronomers just a
little bit in doubt as TO her existence
and that is. perhaps, not an unreason-
able view under the circumstances. In
the first place no one has ever seen
Phoebe. She Is not visible except by
means OF AT least a forty-inch telescope,
but when il Is desired 10 know where
she is and what she is doing a photo
graph is taken. and 20 the skilled and
knowing astronomer she Is detected
