calculus. He was one of the founders OF
the American Mathematical Society.
The United States Military Academy at
West Point has one of the most distin-
gufshed astronomers in the country in its
service, but he is not employed as an as

Another astronomer who has a record

He was member of the United States

departments has needs for not a few
men with knowledge of astronomy, and
carries on its pay roll the names OF some
very eminent astronomers In the ma
jority of cases. however, these men are
not officially known as astronomers.
They are called professors of mathe-
mates. meterologists. assistants to the
coast survey and by other titles precisely
detinitive of their official relations. even
If somewhat vague. They are properly
so called because their duties are not
confined to astronomical work. The need
for astronomers as government employees
is apparent when it is understood that
astronomical observations form the basis
for regulating timepieces. for the publ
cation so useful to mariners known as
the Nautical Almanac, and that astrono-

Smithsonian Astronomers.
The only astronomers in the govern
ment service who are employed with the
main idea Of carrying on experiments are
those connected with the astrophysicai
observatory OF the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. and the long series of investigations
concerning solar radiation begun by
Samuel Pierpont Langley and continued
by Charles Greedy Abbot have for their
ultimate goal the achievement Of long
range weather forecasting.
Research work is not foreign to the
duties Of the staff at, the Naval Observa-
tory and many notable advances in scien-
tifc knowledge have been made by its
members. but the main object is the per-
Torrance Of duties which, while Of a
highly technical character, are yet of
routine character. So it is elsewhere
where the government employs aStrono-
mers. 1t does not employ them as as
tronomers, but because they are as as
tronomers qualified to do certain routine
work
1t is the unpretentious little group of
wooden buildings behind the Smithsonian
Institution, the astrophysical obserya-
tory that has attracted the lions share
of attention among the explorers of the
mysteries of other worlds in recent
years. Its director. Prof Abbot. and his
assistant. F. E. Fowle. jr., are known as
astrophy sicistS, and Prof. AbbotS pred
ecessor. Prof. Langley, was accounted
by many scientists as the foremost astro-
physicist of his time. An astrophysicist

astronomy which seeks not only to learn
of the movements, size and distance of
heavenly bodies, but of their physical
composition. through the study of spec

advantage of every opportunity that
comes her way, says the September
Delineator.
She must work with all her heart !;
play with all her heart; above all
things avoiding Indifference and the
enemy to all progress-apathy.
She must select the pleasure that
will bring her the greatest joy,
choose the work she is best fitted
for.
Ordinary hard luck never ruins
people. 1t puts them in a mood to
learn a thing OR two. Everybody
makes mistakes. With some it is a
regular occupation; but to make a
mistake and wall about it, is to make
two.
Women often speak of their talents
not being appreciated. A talent is
next to worthless unless one has the
| ability to get down to hard, plain
everyday grind.
Then, too, the woman who wins
must learn to talk, but not to tell
There is an art-the most consum.
mate art-in appearing absolutely
frank to the butcher, the baker and
the family cat, and yet not reveal any
of ones business affairs.
The woman who wins must be able
to hold all and hear all yet betray IL
by neither word nor look; by inju
dicious adefense no more than by
overt treachery; by anger at a mali
cious accusation no more than by 6

combination of tact and self-respect
One cannot just slide along in bust
ness and win promotion and more

God Of the lonely soul.
God of the comfortless.
God of the broken heart-for these.
Thy tenderness!
For prayers there be enough.
Yea. prayers there be to spare.
For those of proud and high estate;
Each hath his share.
But the beggar at my door.
The thief behind the bars:
And those that he too blind to see
The shining stars;
The outcast In his hut,
The useless and the old:
Whoever walks the city's streets
Homeless and cold;
The sad and lone Of soul
Whom no man understands:
And those of secret sin. with stains
Upon their hands,
And stains upon their souls;
Who shudder in their sleep,
And walk their ways with trembling
hearts,
Afraid to weep.
For the childless mother, Lord.
And ah, the little child
Weeping the mother in her grave,
Unreconciled-
God of the lonely soul.
God of the comfortless,
For these, and such as these, ask
Thy tenderness! Scribner's
