Among those engaged In this kind Of
Photographic research Miss Dorothea
Klumpke has shown great ability.
Born in San Francisco, she left there
In her youth and became a student at
the Observatory OF Paris. in 1887. On
December 23, 1893, Miss Klumpke sus-
tanned her doctorate thesis before
Darboux, Tisserand and Andoyer. At
the conclusion Of the examination
Darboux remarked "Your thesis is
the first which a woman has presented
and successfully maintained before
our faculty to obtain the degree OF
doctor Of mathematical sciences. You
worthily open the way and the faculty
votes unanimously to declare you
worthy Of obtaining the degree OF DOC
tor"
San Francisco, Cal, also boasts an
other woman astronomer, namely,
Miss Rose O'Hallaran. who for the
past 20 years has quietly pursued her
work in San Francisco. She deyotes
her energies to a study OF the peculiar
tiles of sun spots and variable stars,
which are the most interesting objects
In the world to this busy little woman
astronomer, while her numerous OBJ
seryations of eclipses. meteors, vari-
able stars, etc. frequently appear In
scientific periodicals.

In accordance with a plan adopted
at a congress of astronomers which
met at Paris in 1887, Is observatories
in various parts Of the world combined
together to make series OF photo
graphs covering the entire sky. No
fewer than 100000 stars find a

been finished. The further measure

up Of vast printed star catalogue are
also wei under way. and altogether no
fewer than 100000 stars will find
place In this our latest directory of the
heavens. There is certainly no lack OF

Prof. Edward c. Pickering OF the
Harvard observatory. Cambridge, is
carrying on Independent work OF the
same kind in connection with the Ara
quipa observatory. About 2,000 photo
graphs are taken of the southern
heavens every year. They are OF two
kinds spectrum and chart. The lat

by ten inches thousands OF star points,

spectrum OF each star. Such a plate

any chance new stars are to be found.
and the work is extremely tedious.
All the photographs sent to Harvard
observatory are examined by Mrs.
Fleming. under whose supervision a
number Of women are constantly em-
ployed In assisting with this work.
Mrs. Margaret Patton Fleming was
born in Scotland In 1857. In 1879 she
came to the United States and secured
employment at Harvard observatory
as computer. She is now in charge
OF the department for examination OF
the thousands of Photographic plates
taken with the Draper telescope In
this pursuit Mrs Fleming has discov-
cred a large number of variable stars
and confirmed the discovery Of several
new stars. She has been ably assisted |
In her work by Misses A. G. Maury, |
L. p. Wells. =. =. Leland and M G. |
Stevens, all OF whom have succeeded |
In discovering new stars on their own
account.

Maria Mitchell is another woman
astronomer of whom this country II
justly proud. and she may be termed
Americas pioneer astronomer. She
summarized her own character ia the
words: Il was not born with much
genius but with great persistency. .
When is years old she was appointed
librarian Of the Nantucket Athenaeum
which position she held for 20 years.
The roof OF the building wac her OBJ
servatory, and while scanning the
heavens one night from this point OF
view she discovered a comet A def
mite orbit fer this comet was deter
mined by Miss Marguerite Palmer,
who has published several memoirs In
the Transactions OF the Yale Observ-
atory." The king OF Denmark present
ed Maria Mitchell with a gold medal
as a reward for her discovery Of the
comet
In 1866 she accepted the professor
ship of astronomy at Vassar college,
holding the position until she was
compelled to resign. being enfeebIed
by old age She was teacher of ex-
ceptional ability and when she died
in 1889 she was mourned by the many
vassar pupils she had imbued with
her own lore and enthusiasm for the
noble science of the heavens. Prof.
Mary Watson Whitney IS her able
successor and is assisted In her work
by Caroline FurRess. Prof Whitney's
speciality consists in observations Of
asteroids, involving much arduous
work. and she also made several lne
drawings OF tho surface markings Of
planets.

It may be interesting here to draw
attention to the fact that the wife OF
Dr. Hermann S. Davis has followed
the example set by Mrs. Asaph Hall
and Mrs. David Gill by her continuous
labor in assisting her husband with
his work. She has also been at work
upon the new reduction Of Piazzi's
catalogue OF nearly 5000 stars and has
made many computations connected
with the Rutherford Photographic
plates.
These plates were made more than
80 years ago by Rutherford, who had
SO far perfected his methods Of stellar
photography tkat he was able to se-
cure excellent pictures Of stars as far
as the ninth magnitude Thirty years
ago Miss Ida c. Martin was Ru-
thsrford's assistant in the measure
ment OF the plates made by him at
that period, All the earlier contrAAu-
tions issued from the observatory Of
Columbia university, New York, based
on the Rutherford plates. depend en-
tirely on her methods.
The application Of photography to
astronomy. whereby star positions,
spectra type. the variability Of stars,
etc, can be determined. has vastly in
creased woman's opportunity for work
In this department of science, measur-
ing Photographic plates being a spe-
cialty for which she is admirably
adapted. since patience. persistency
and absolute accuracy are required.
The plates to be measured are
crossed by a network Of lines forming
small squares impressed on the plate
by a second exposure, Independent Of

During our own time we have had
several illustrations recalling the de-
votion and encouraging influence
shawn by Caroline Herschel For ex-
ample, the discovery of the two satel-
lites Of Mars in 1877 is due as much to
Mrs. Asaph Hall as to her renowned
husband. Wearied by ceaseless watch
ing, discouraged by the lack Of sue
cess in searching for that which he
suspected but could not see, he was
urged by his wife to return to his task
each night until finally on August Ii
his vigils and her confidence were
doubly rewarded.
About the same time Mrs. David Gill
on the far-away island Of Ascension
was contributing to her husbands sue
cess in finding a desirable location for
temporary observatory. She de-
scribes her adventure in her entertain
ing book, six Months iii Ascension, :"
telling how night after night the sky
above Garrison OH the northwestern
shore Of the island, where her hus-
OdlA Adu ADIdlcQ Ills ucllUulbJ6T, Was
overcast with clouds caused by trade
winds blowing across Green mountain,
and how. despite friendly advice and
earnest entreaties. she persisted in
midnight tramp across the ''clinker"
to the western shore to prospect for a
clearer sky-and found it.
DR. Hermann S. Davis in his inter-
esting account of Woman Astrono-
mers" remarks: "The adventure was
a far more toilsome one than the bare
mention of it would indicate. 1t re-
quired a bold heart and great enthusi-
asm for science to initiate and execute
the undertaking, as | can affirm from
experience in following the
same route in daylight IL years later.
The result OF the undertaking was
most satisfactory and continuous Sc
ries Of excellent observations for the
determination OF solar parallax has
since been made at the location Sc
Iected.

TWO CENTS A MILE NOW.
Passenger Rates to BE Reduced All
over the United Stntes.

Chicago, June 23.--Passenger rates
on all railroads Of the United States
will be reduced to two cents a mile.
The lowering Of the price and COM
plete abolition of the old three cent
rates will begin on July |.
This was the decision reached in
Chicago yesterday after long and
heated discussion by the leading rail-
road presidents of all the western and
trans continental roads. 1t was not a
formal agreement but is equally bind
ing, for two large roads doing n trans
continental business are said to have
served an ultimatum to others that
they would put the rate into effect
Immediately.
Following the meeting, officials of
several of the roads admitted that they
had been forced to bow to public opin-
ion and anti-railroad legislation. They
said that no further fight would be
made on the two-cent laws already
passed and that the roads would ac-
cept the inevitable.
