Prof. Asaph Hall, IRIS, Long Vigil
At The Naval Obser tory's Great
Telescope In Washington In The
Hope OF Making Some Interesting
i Discovery - Engaged The Past
Month In Measuring The Two
Moons OF Mars-Some Curious
Disturbances Noted.

Washington, d. c. Especially. -
Mars and its moons were the target
OF many of the big telescopes in
various parts of the world. and with
the planet only 35,00O.O00 miles
from the roof of the United States
Naval Observatory, as astronomical
sharps figured it, the instruments of
that institution were in use all night.
Fridays distance between the earth
and Mars meant clipping of 49,
O0O,O miles off the average inter-
vening space, and Prof Asaph Hail.
Jr., son Of the astronomer who first
discovered the satellites of Mars,
began training the naval observa-
tory's great glass on the big light in
the sky early in the evening, despite
the prevailing clouds, and he an
nounced his purpose of watching de-
velo2ments unit: O'Clock A. M.
All preparations had been made
with minuteness and, like many
other observers at Others points, he
had hopes of some interesting scien-
tific discovery. Mars at this time is
fairly high on the horizon, and un-
der ordinarily fair conditions in this

Work OF The Experts.
While interest was heightened on
the observations by reason of the
planet running in closer to the earth
than at any other time, the astro-
nomical experts of the government
are not combining their work along
this line. Professor Hall and his as
sociates have been engaged since Au-
gust 20 in measuring the two moons
of Mars, and will continue probably
for month or more.
The polar cap has taken up less
of their time, although some very
good observations have been made
with a view of determining the size
of that feature of Mars and Of other
markings as well. The satellites are
rather close to the planet and some
very curious disturbances exercised
by the planet, including rather re.
markable parallelizing effects. have
been noted. To observers studying
different portions CT Mars, the inner
moon appears in quite different po-
sitions in the sky.
