SEEK PLANET BEYOND NEPTUNE.
Professor Pickering Thinks Efforts May Be
Rewarded in Few Days.

Cambridge Mass. Jan. s-1he search for the
planet which is believed to be beyond Neptune is
being actively pursued at the Harvard astronomi-
cal observatory by Professor William H Picker
ing and his assistants who said to-day that there
was possibility that their efforts might be re-
warded within the next few days. The search is
being made through a careful study Of a number
of xecellert photographs Of the region where the
planet is supposed TO be, taken by the Rev. Joel
H MetcaIf Taunton clergyman, who is interest
ed in astronomical study.
Professor Pickering believes that the planet, II
found will be of the twelfth thirteenth magni-
tude and while faint, should appear on the photo
graphic plate.
When Professor Pickering found evidences OF
the existence of the new planet ana located 1t ap-
proxinately in right ascension hours, II minutes
decIinaton plus 81 Mr.. Metcalf, with his Pinch
double photograp phing telescope succeeded IN get
ting some remarkably clear photographs of that
section of the heavens. The Taunton clergym,
has been especially successful in his photosrapnic
work. and has located numerous asteroids in the
last few years.
Even if the suspected planet should be located
It is thought that or account of its exceedingly
slow movement its orbit its elements would not
be known for some time
