The discovery Of 10000 new worlds
by Prof. Hale at the observatory on

ed The observatory was established

Whole World! viii Listen. II
Mr. Carnegie declares that "the
whole world is going to listen toFthe
oracle on the. top Of Mount Wilson and
in few years we shall know more
tbout the universe than Calico and
Copernicus ever dreamed Of. 14hbpe
i shall live long enough to hear sreve.
lations that are to come from Prof.

In confirming a report Of. the EN-.
dowment Mr.. Carnegie said, among
other things: w
Doubtless you noticed in yesterdays
news that the yacht Carnegie had Just
reached Buenos Aires. That yacht rs
the first one ever built with bronze
substituted for IRON. the latter de.
fleets the magnetic, needle and bronze
does not. The result Is that all for.
mer observations are inaccurate The
Carnegie found two grave errors III
the British admiralty charts In her
voyage to Great Britain, and return.
Ing via the Azores she found that the
captain was not to blame who ran n
great steamer upon the rocks which
destroyed 1T. On the contrary. he was
sailing in his right course according to
his chart, but the Institution yacht
proved that the chart was from two
to three degrees astray.
Putting the World Right.
The Carnegie is going over all the
seas year after year. putting the world
right. That one service will give am.
pie dividends upon the whole s25, O0O,.
900 in my opinion. S'
But this is not all the institutionsis
doing. II Is experimenting in Its geo.
physical laboratories upon the rocks
and analyzing them and will soon be
ready to show a formula for the max.
ing OF Portland cement or concrete.iit
has found the ingredients necessary
by analysis and that invaluable mate.
rial can be produced in. any part Of
the world wherever the elemnts5 are
found. Hitherto. Il understand 1t;
cement could only be made from Ger.
tain comparatively rare deposits. b.
Many wonderful things the institu.
ton In Washington has In operation,
the results OF which promise to be
equally satisfactory. Some day 1t may
need s50oOO,Ooo. We can put no lin
Its upon Its achievements X,
