RESULT A TRIUMPH
OF MANS GENIUS
Professor Leuschner's New
and Unpublished Method
Is Utilized in Finding
Out the Facts Desired

BERKELEY, April 5.-The measure
ments of comet, so faint that it Is
difficult to observe, have been success
fully taken by DR.. Russell Tracy Craw-
ford Of the universitys astronomical
department, and James D. Maddrill,
fellow in the Lick Observatory. An
nouncement of this feat was made by
the university authorities to-day.
The orbit of the comet IN question
was computed from an observation by
the dlscoverer of the heavenly body,
Glacobini Of Nice, Italy, and two OBJ
servations secured on March 27 and
March 80 by DR.. Aitken at the Lick
observatory. The original discovery
was made by Giacobini on March 26.
The results involved in the measure
ment OF this newly discovered comet
were produced at the University of
california by new and as yet unpub-
hshed method of Professor Leuschner.
which is an adaptation of his more gen,
eral method to the direct computation

A parabola, however, say these astron-
omers, satisfies the observations yery
well.
DR.. Crawford and Mr.. Maddrill find
that the comet passed its perihelion on
April ., at distance of some 104. 900. :
oO0 miles from the sun. The nearest
distance Of 66.000,00 miles to the earth
occurred on March 2S.
This new comet is now receding from
the sun and the earth, and by April s15
its brightness will have diminished to
seven one-hundredths of it's original
brightness on March 26. The comet
is travelling northeast at the rate of
about one and five one-hundredths de-
grees per day through the constellation
Gemini. The inclination of its orbit to
the elliptic is forty-one degrees. the lon
gitude OF Its ascending nede. is 157 de-
greesr and the arc from the yernal
equinox to perihelion is 35s degrees.
From these data the positions of the
comet UP to- April 15 have been calcu-
lated and the positions have been teIe-
graphed to other observatories. The
comet, while very faint and difficult to
observe, was seen with the six
inch equatorial by DR.. Crawford on the
evening of March 80.

OAKLAND, April 5.--Jilted by the

months without pay, in expectation
that he was to be rewarded by the gift
of his immorata's heart and hand, G..
We Starkey was granted a Judgment
against Mrs. e. A. Kneib of Fruityale
in hard cash for what he had been un-
able to collect in love and affection.
Judge Melvin weighed the evidence and
concluded that Starkey's loss would be
compensated for by 1922 so, and he gave
a decision in his favor for this amount.
According to the testimony, Starkey
said that he was a carpenter by oc-
cupation and that he had met Mrs.
Kneib. who is a widow with a little
home Of her own in Fruitvale. The
house, however, was somewhat diiapi-
dated, and after winning his way into
the good graces of the lady a PROPOSE
ton was agreed to between them to
the effect that Starkey should put In

they would live together in the home
beautified by their combined efforts.
Starkey testified that he put in a
drain, sawed enough wood to last them
year, shingled and painted and pot
tered about the place until it looked
like a new pin. Then he found he had
been played for a good thing. The
widow would not marry him and his
loves labor had been lost. He brought
AN action in the Justices Court and
was again defeated by his fair antag-
onist, and he then took an appeal to
the Superior Court, and to-day was
granted judgment which the court
found to be commensurate with his
loss.
