CHAMPION STAR FINDER.

Woman of Harvard University Has
This Distinction.
To be accredited as the discOverer of
more stars than any other living as
tronomer must be gratifying. Especial
ly should this be the case when the
lucky discoverer Is a woman. Such
distinction belongs to Mrs. Willlamina
Patton Fleming of the Harvard observ-
atory. The results of her investiga-
lions have interested the entire astro-
nomical world.
In addition to her achievements in
this line she Is distinctive in being the
| only woman occupying an official posi-
ton at Harvard University.
Eight hitherto unobserved stars In
the novae have been discovered by her.
OF fifth-type stars she has found eighty
four, as compared with fifteen located
! by her compeers in science. Incidental
ly she has found 200 new variables. In
recognition of her work Mrs. Fleming
has just been elected n member Of the
| Royal Astronomical Society of Lon
don. She Is the first American woman
and the third of her sex to receive such
an honor.
More star discoveries are accredited
to Mrs. Fleming than to any other per-
son In the history of science" is the
remarkable assertion recently made
concerning the work of this woman.
And the assertion appears to be true.
For that reason she attracted the at
! tention of the savants Of the Royal AS
Economical Society Of London.
Members of that body as a rule are
cold blooded. They do not admit any

Summing Up the Fact.

"Slr, what is this stuff?" inquired
the late Senator Vest of Boniface.
Coffee" meekly replied the proprie-
tor, somewhat taken aback.
"Coffee" repeated Vest, In fine
scorn; my friend, l could insert a
coffee bean In my mouth, dive into the
Missouri River, swim to the town OF
Alton, H., and I'll guarantee that one
could ball up much better coffee than
this, sir. over the entire route w-Ths
