Exploring Space in Hunt
For a Missing Asteroid
Astronomer Hopes to Find Aethra That Has
Been Missing Since 1873

telescope after telescope was trained
on where it should have been to no
purpose, and Aethra was put down
in the books of the astronomers as
lost.
A. J. Champreux of the students OBJ
servatory staff of the university does
not intend to be thus thwarted and
has started TO work to find the asteroid,
which seems to have strayed from the
fold.
He has been at his task now for
several months and he will have to
compute the orbits of fully SOD known
asteroids before he can find,the missing
body.
MAY HAVE WANDERED
He is of the opinion that Aethra, in
hueneed by some attraction. wandered
from: its orbit and was picked up
again and given another number. This
theory will be known, however, when
all the orbits of the asteroids are CAL
culated.
Champreux's reward will be the de-
gree of a doctor of philosophy IL he
succeeds in locating Aethra, and should
such be the case Aethra's discoverer
will be known as Doctor Champre1x,
a distinction of honor in the faculty of
the university.
The university faculty member is
one of the. brightest students of the
class of 1905. and his brilliancy in
mathematics has. won for him recog-
milton in astronomy.
