Inquiry among the local scientists of
the Carnegie observatory elected the
information that more notable gath
ering of astronomers would be diff
cult to assemble at one place, and it is
said that so far as relative promi-
nence is concerned 1t would be hard
| to make a distinction, owing to the fact
| that all have at some time or other
made important discoveries or deduc-
| tions in the solar world.
