press II, was gwen some years ago by Professor
Boss OF the observatory at Albany. The board
OF visitors at the observatory doubted the value
OF some work IN course OF preparation by the
director, which was desk work. and not done
with a telescope. They inquired if 1t would not
add TO the reputation OF the observatory If
some discovery such as that of a comet could be
made. They were promptly informed that
nothing was easier If they would award q sum
OF money Tor the purpose, as q salary toward
defrayIng the expenses for person of average
intelligence while making the necessary search.
The challenge was accepted on the spot the
money subscribed, and q searcher selected for
the work. Within the allotted time fine
comet was found; but undoubtedly Professor
Boss had taken a risk in undertaking To catch
a comet within definite time. The proba bill
ties were as uncertain as IN the case Of a man
who undertakes 10 catch fish IN halt an hour

comet, ike the goose that laid the golden eggs
conveniently timed its appearance TO coincide
with the advent OF those dreadful notes. And
thus Il finally came about that the house was
