ANOTHER WORLD
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,

A problem that long has vexed as
tronomers may be settled during the
next eclipse of the sun on August 80,
1905, according to the declaration of
Director Campbell of the Lick OBJ
servatory, made to university students
in his lecture to-day before Professor
Leuschner's class. The question
which it is hoped will be answered. as
result of the suns eclipse is whether
the planet Mercury is the nearest of
the suns neighbors. or whether there
exists one or more smaller planets re-
yolving within the Mercurial orbit.
Director Campbell SAYS that the ap-
preaching eclipse will offer the best
opportunity to be had for at least a
generation for studying this and
other important astronomical prob
lens.
Director Campbell explains that the
orbit of Mercury has been found sub
iect to disturbances which are ac-
counted for on the supposition that
there are one or more fntra- -Mercurial
planets. The astronomer says:
Such planets. il they do exist. would only
be visible in darkened sky supplied by a to-
of Photographic methods to astronomy has
greatly Increased the efficiency Of those who
search the heavens in this manner. photo
graph OF the portion Of the sky where the
eclipse will take place Is to be secured sew
then be compared. section by section with a
similar photograph taken at the instant of
the eclipse. New bodies that appear the
second plate If not due TO defects OF the plate
itself must represent intra- Mercurial bodies.
The use OF duplicate plates should be safe
guard against defects.
The most successful attempt to obtain pho
tographs of this sort was made by Professor
Perrine In 1901. The sky was cloudy then
and he could cover only two-thirds OF the
necessary area and hence he failed to prove
that an inter- Mercurial body exists. The search
favorable conditions. Recent improvements in
astronomical photography will enable observ-
ers to detect any body thirty miles or more
IN diameter. Stations for the study of the
eclipse to be arranged in Labrador Spain
and Tunis
