CARNAGE MAKES
s1o,ooO,ooo GIFT
Adds Endowment 70 Institute Bearing
His Name-60,ooo Worlds
Are Found.

New York.-The donation OF an
additional endowment of S1o,oOo,ooo
to the Carnegie Institute of Washing
to by Andrew Carnegie, the founder,
was announced.
This latest contribution brings the
total OF Mr.. Carnegie's gifts to the
institution to s25, 100000, and viii en-
able it's directors to broaden greatly
the scope of the work done under the
general guidance and with the cooper
alton of the institute.
Coupled with the formal announce
ment was declaration by Mr.. Car
negie that the work Of the institution
had cleared from blame the captain
Of a British ship who ran his vessel
upon the rocks, by proving that the
British admiralty charts by which the
captain was guided were two or three
degrees astray.
The discovery of 10000 new worlds
by Professor Hale at the observatory
on Mount Wilson, Cal, also was an
nounced. The observatory was estab-
lished by the institution, and its
operations and discoveries afford Mr..
Carnegie more delight, perhaps, than
any other workings of the institution.
Mr.. Carnegie also announced that a
far more powerful telescope than man
has ever made Is now under construc-
ton for the Mount Wilson observa-
tory. With it he hopes to make pos
sible the discovery of still more celes-
tial bodies.
The new telescope will have lens
of 100 inches diameter. Mr.. Carnegie
declares that the whole world is go
ing to listen to the oracle on the top
Of Mount Wilson, and in few years
we shall know more about the uni
verse than Calico and Copernicus
ever dreamed of hope ! shall live
long enough to hear the revelations
that are to come from Professor Hale
on Mount Wilson"
