Robt. 6, Aitken
Lectures on Astronomy.

Robert q. Aitken, who was born
and reared in jackson, AmadoI
county, and who has made a record
as an astronomical student of world
wide reputation at the Lick Obser-
vatory on Mount Hamilton, delivered
lecture before the students of the
berkeley University last Friday. We
are indebted to a correspondent for
the following account of the lecture:
Doctor Robert Il. Aitken, professor
of astronomy at the Lick Observatory,
delivered his initial lecture on as
tronomy before the students taking
the summer course at the University
of California, in Hearst Hall last
Friday evening, July 10th. The seat
ing capacity of the hall was taxed to
its utmost, as Doctor Aitken has the
reputation of being the most success
full doublestar finder IN the world,
having so far located over 100. The
lecture was illustrated with many. fine
lantern slides, showing the different
styles of refracting and rejecting
telescopes, their adoption to photo
graphy and chemical analysis Of the
light with the spectroscope. For the
latter purpose the light gathered by
the large telescope passes through a
slit LOO inch long by l-1000 inch
wide, then through three prisms and
the lines of the spectrum thus pro-
duced is studied. The lecturer eX-
planned the vastness of our solar
system and the infinite distance of
the stars, the theory of sunspots, the
course Of the sun observed during
total eclipse, nebulas and the pro-
babie formation of stars, dark stars
and numerous other interesting
astronomical facts. Doctor Aitken
spoke rapidly for over an hour with
out notes, and the lecture though
scientific was lucid and plain enough
to be easily understood by any one
whose early education had not been
neglected. Doctor Aitken will dis
seminate some of the knowledge he
acquired during years of observation
by delivering several more lectures
during the summer at the University
of California, and no doubt will each
time be greeted by large aud Hence.

Petition for Appointment
of Game Warden.

A petition has been circulated, and
numerousIy signed in the northern
section of the county, requesting the
supervisors to appoint game warden
for that section. Much complaint
has been made on account of the
shooting of doves out of season. 1t
is reported that while the illegal kill
ing of these birds is a matter of
common talk, no effort has been
made by the local officials to stop
the practice. Hence, the shooting
habit is communicated to others.
One hunter thinks he has just as
much right as another to violate the
game law. A local game warden,
who has to depend for his compensa-
ton upon the lines inflicted upon
vioIators of the law, is thought to
be the best method of stopping the
unlawful killing of game.

Inspection Proof.

The photos turned out by Logan's
studio at No. Is s San Joaquin
street, Stockton, are certainly in
spectIon proof. Logan has long had
the reputation of turning ont the
classiest work of this kind, in the
San joaquin Valley. lie is a born
pilot ographer and has had oceans of
experience. All these things count
when it comes down to actual work
menshIp. You remember that Solo
men said that in this world "All was
vanity" But that was before Logan s
time. If he could have seen some of
Logan's work he would have changed
his ideas and sat for photo himself.

Chiso Dal Porta struck out from here
early that morning for Horizons
ranch, which lies about seven or
eight miles below here, on the
Mokelumne river, meeting the Hor-
ton boys there and Jim ana Mack
Amick of lone. During their hunt
their dogs scared up fourteen deer
of all sizes. Rainsford and Dal
Porta were the luckyJ ones of the
bunch and succeeded IN getting one
apiece. One of them was left with
the Horizons to divide among those
in the party from that section. Be-
sides the deer each of the party got
the limit of doves. They got back
to town about nine O'Clock that same
evening.
