For several years past there has been
much discussion in relation to site for the
new Brooklyn Public Library similar in
size to the one being built in New York.
Considerable pressure has come fro m
various sources in favor OF site at the
junction of Flatbush avenue and Eastern
Parkway, directly opposite the reservoir
and its high stone tower. The advocates
of this site have secured a report from
Professor HAMIIN of Columbia College in
favor of the project, which contemplates
building more tran ninety feet high, thirty
or forty feet higher than the arch near by.
1t would cover the entire area OF the park
in question, leaving no space for adorn-
ment and proper effect of the building.
In q word, it is seizing park territory which
is needful to the proper effect of Prospect
Park and was so contemplated in the
beginning. az may be shown by the reports
OF the first designers Of Prospect Park,
OLMsTED and VAUx.
During the winter of 1904 and 1905 an
act of the Legislature was passed creating
a commission consisting of the Mayor. the
President of Brooklyn borough and the
Park Commissioner of Brooklyn borough,
to decide whether the site in question was
a proper one or not, though the choice of Il
new site was not within it's function. 1t
has been decided recently, according to
report that two architects are to be con-
suited on this question; but ought not one
or more landscape architects to be added
to their number?

A. S. Ganord a farmer of Noltalrc township,

those OF astronomy. The highly rare
fed atmosphere Ia largely effective in
reducing the irradiatian of the sum
light and thus permits the visual effects
Of the crater view to approximate
closely the seeing ON the moon. The
absence of irradiation is particularly
noticeable under the white flood of light
cast into the crater by the moon in its
tropical splendor at full. Then the
shadows and the high lights are az clean
cut as those seen on the moon itself,
and the half tones are almost as lacking.
The moonit view down into the crater
depths shows the terminatOr OF the
shadow almost as sharply defined as in
the views OF lunar landscape familiar
through the telescope.
The method of this terrestrial selenog-
raphy is simple in the extreme. Visual
observations on the summit wall of
Haleakala have established series of
gross and particular resemblances to
lunar phenomena. These spots have
been measured for Identification, and
thus, in making the not particularly
difficult descent to the crater floor, the
astronomers have been able to place
themselves physically upon surfaces
that from a distance of half mile or
80 offer to the unaided eye the same
appearance that the moon presents to
the glass through its 240, 900 miles.
Nor does the laboratory method cease
with this possibility of close inspection
and gunter's chain mensuration. Ha-
leakala is long since dead and cold the
stifrened record of remote forces of
extrusion and eruption. On the neigh
boring island of Hawaii these forces are
yet active on Mauna Loa in it's two craters
of Kilauea and Mokuaweoweo, The
finished work in Haleakala may on the
other island be identified in its plastic
state and it is possible to observe any
stage of the formative process even to
its primitive expression in the rolling
masses of lava in the firepit of Kilauea,
now in an active state over the whole
extent Of the Halema'umau.
In an exploration by workers in the field
of astro-physics this summer a great
deal Of work has been done, many photo
graphic negatives secured and measure
ments taken. No report will be made
on this survey until the physicists have
subjected their data to close study.
But enough is known to make it clear
that many of the lunar problems are
now in fair way of settlement.

Washington Feb 14-John T. Abbott, who
was designated by the United States to act as
fiscal agent under the award Of July IA, 1904
in the case of the Santo Domingo Improvement
Company, in discussing Dominican affairs, made
the following statement:
Since my return to this country from Santo

I do now, that the protocol had not been
cepted by the State Department, nor did any
one in Santo Domingo except officials who had
a right to know, have any information of that
fact when l sailed. 1 was absolutely ignorant
of this non-acceptance when my statement was
made. The evidence which have seen is con-
elusive to my mind that my statements in 1.-THE
New-York Sun" concerning the taking of the
ports under the protocol were incorrect, and
that the United States never took any action
hereunder.
The Dominican officials were undoubtedly ex-
ceedingly desirous for local political reasons Of
an extremely urgent character. to create every
where there the impression that the agreement
of January 20 would be carried into effect at
the date mentioned in it, since it was generally
admitted by natives and foreigners alike that
the prompt execution of the protocol would not
only prevent the revolution then impending, but
would also render subsequent disturbances of
the peace impossible.
