HOW THE PLANETS ARE PHOTOGRAPHED

The following interesting account
of the photographing the planet Mars
is from the pen of DR.. S. A. Mitchell
of Columbia University and appear
ed recently in the Scientific Ameri-
can:
The safe arrival in the United
States of 1000 photographs of the
planet Mars is an astronomical event
sof no small importance. To trans
port a delicate lens IS inches in di-
ameter from New Hampshire to the
Andes, to carry this lens and its
mountings up to the height of $4,000
feet above sea level and there as
semble the pany parts into perfect
running machine, a powerful tele-
. scope, is in itself a gigantic under
taking
But when there is added to these
almost unsurmountable obstacles the
difficulties of existing-we can hard
.ly call it living-for a couple Of
months on an arid desert so high
above the sea, we can gain some
small insight into the task under
taken by Prof. Todd of photograph
ing Mars at its near approach to the
earth.
Whether these photographs prove
that Mars is inhabited or not, Prof.
Todd and his chief assistant, Mr..
Slipher, who made all the photo
srro,bg ora dacary-ipO of nothing hut
the greatest praise for overcoming
great observational difficulties and
procuring this splendid series Of
plates made under the greatest or
bodily discomforts.
One does not ordinarily go and live
in a desert for the sake of having
a pleasure trip; and the only motive
that could have actuated Prof. Todd
and Mr.. Percival Lowell in financ-
ing and sending out the expedition,
was the desire to arrive at the truth
regarding the interesting markings on
the planet Mars.
Those who have never tried to
photograph the stars can have no
idea Of the difficulty of the task;
out when one attempts 10 portray the
planets in detail, these obstacles are
increased many times. Photography
is no new art. We all of us know
how easy it is for US to take a snap
shot Of a landscape and get a pret-
ty picture; why is It then no serious
attempt has ever been made before
TO observe the planets with the help
of the Photographic plate?
However, when it is mentioned
that a huge camera with a lens 18
inches in aperture and 25 feet in TO-
cal length, gives an image Of Mars,
when it is nearest to the earth and
consequently at its largest, only 1-25
of an inch or millimeter in diameter,
the size Of a pin head, one sees the
utter impossibility Of showing any
details on so small an image, much
less to decide whether a given mark
Is a straight canal or come geograph-
ical feature.
A Photographic plate placed at the
focus of the 1S-inch telescope that
Prof Todd used would give pic

functions and aggravated by cold set

Kidney Pills and went to the Pendle-

box. They helped me from the start,

Spokane Licenses Climbing.

Spokane, Nov. 22-An increase in
the yearly saloon licenses from ST.
600 to $1,000 per year is advocated
by some of the councilmen as a rem
edy for the present straitened con-
dition Of the city's finances, and an
effort may be made in a short time
to bring about this increase. Only a
short time ago the yearly license was
increased from 5000 to $1,000, and it
was believed that this would have
the effect of decreasing the number
of saloons and forcing a higher stand
ard. There has not been a single
saloon which has quit business as a
result of the increase in the saloon IL
cense, and for this reason 1t is be-
lieved that, even If a second increase
were now made that few saloons
would quit business, while the reve-
nues of the city would be materially
increased.

Flour Famine in Montana.

A flour famine exists in IL Of the
chief cities of Montana. SO far as
wholesalers are concerned, they have
no flour, and the prospect for the fu-
ture is anything but bright. 1t is
declared the situation Is far more
threatening than the talked Of coal
famine.
The trouble, according to millers,
is that the railroads have either been
unable or unwilling to supply cars.
One miller states that orders he re-
ceived six weeks ago for immediate
delivery have not been touched. and
there is no telling when they will be.
Millers say that unless cars are
furnished within the next two or
three days It will be necessary to
close down the mills and stop buying
grain. Bins are full now and no
cars are being furnished. The millers
intend taking the matter up with the
state board OF railroad commission
ers with view to relieving the sit
uation.-Spokane Chronicle.
