this purpose two photographs of the sln,a
region of the sky. taken at carefully
noted intervale. are placed IN the insiru-
ment, where, as in the stereOscope tho
image of one is superimposed upon the
other to form one combined image for tina
eyes looking through the double eye
piece.
Those stars which occupy the same rela-
tive position on the two plates will appear
in the combined image the same as If only
one plate TO the other alternating at resu-
graphs he will note which of the stars
have moved, and from the amount Of dis
placement may measure the distance

the change in position OF the body under

In another method Of making compare
son single eyepiece is used. and by an
automatic device operated by electricity
the vision is shifted instantaneOusly from
one plate 70 the other, alternating at regli-
lar intervals as long as the operator
cares To observe. In this case the bodies
which are the same on the two plates
remain stationary to the eve while those

Hitherto the astronomers at the observ-

IS PLEASED WITH
 WATERWAYS MEET

Little Rock, May 13.-Joe Asher, clerk of Pulaski county and an en- thusiast on river Improvements, has much to say that is interesting con corning the recent deep -WateraWys convention at Fort Smith, to which he was delegate from this county, and at which gathering he delivered tn response to the address of vel come, for Little Rock.
 We had a great convention de- spite the fact that many of those who would have attended were unable 10 reach the city on account of the wash outs and delays along the railroads. There was a strong attendance from all the river towns between here and Fort Smith and what is still more im- portant, liberal representation from the sections in eastern Indian Territory and even from Kansas, and Colorado delegates were present to demonstrate the interest of those people in the work of securing deep CT western waterway.
 The convention did not in any sense conflict with the purposes and objects of the meeting bere here in Little Rock last month. On the contrary, it is absolutely in lne with that meet ing, the only difference being that il is wider in it's scope as to territory.
