DISCOVERS STARS.
Woman Who Has Discovered More
Than Any Person.

From the World Today.
To have discovered more stars than any
other person in the history of the world
Is a worthy distinction in the annals OF as
tronomy That this record has been
achieved by a woman makes it the more
unusual Mrs. Williamina Fleming her
self, however, does not care to have en-
phasis laid or this fact. To her the add
ton TO scientific knowledge is the sole
point of interest. On August 81 last she
added still another to her long list of dis
coveries that of a nova in the constelIa-
ton of Aquila.
In examining the spectra of more than
a million stars she has discovered eight
new stars, only three such stars having
been found by other astronomers during
the same period of time. OF the rare class
Of fifth type stars she has found eighty
four, only fifteen having been found ny
other astronomers throughout the world.
Incidentally she has found many other OBJ
jects of interest, including 200 new vari-
abIes. Much time has been devoted to
measurements of the position and bright
ness Of these objects
Aside from the direct astronomical re-
search accomplished by Mrs. Fleming,
vast amount of work has been done by
her In aiding In the preparation ana edit
ing of about twenty Quarto volumes of the
Harvard Annals and other publications of
the observatory. She also assists In the
official correspondence and other executive
work OF the institution, including the SUI
perintendence Of a corps of about fifteen
various astronomical Journals her writings
appearing under the signature M. Flem-
ing" In the Astronomische Nachrichten and
other Foreign publications.
