to cosmology that the Lick observa-

proof by spectographic observations,
that the stars in the earlier stages OF
their existence are travelling slowly
! through space and that their speeds
/ increase as they grow older. This
fastening of pace as suns increase in
age had not been suspected, and is
highly important in Interpretation of
/ the life of the universe.
Among the problems which the as
tronomers of the Lick Observatory
keep always before them. in their
task of pushing forward the frontiers
of human knowledge, are these:
What is the form and what are the
1 dimensions Of the space occupied by
our stellar system? How are the In
4 dividual members of the system dis
tributed throughout that space? What
are the relations of the stars, planets,
moons. nebulae comets and meteors
to each other, both as classes and as
individuals? In accordance with
what laws have these bodies been
tevolved from materials in earlier
stages of existence? What has been
the history of the celestial bodies
What are their present physical con-
ditions? What has the future in store
for them?

Discoveries of the Lick Observatory

The particular universe of stars in /
which we dwell is half again as large /
In scale as the world has been suppos-
ing. Our own sun is still youthful, t
and keeps travelling northwardly |
through space at the comparatively /
leisurely pace of twelve miles per
second, or only two-thirds the average
speed of stars of its own class. The /!
North Star is not really a single star
but triple, consisting of three suns re
yolving about common center.
These are some OF the recent dis
coveries of the Lick Observatory, the
famous graduate astronomical depart
ment of the University of California.
People who learned their astronomy
twenty years ago, or five years ago.
will have to change many of their
ideas of the universe in the light Of
the Lick observatory's newly-achieved
knowledge as to how the heavenly
bodies are born and live and die. No
where in the world is so much being
done to alter and expand mans knowl-
Mount Hamilton, under the direction
of DR.. w. w. Campbell. the famous
director of the Lick University.
When DR.. Campbell first came to
the Lick Observatory, comparatively
few double stars were known. He
turned the great 3s-inch telescope
then the largest in the world, upon
this problem, and in the years since
then the Lick Observatory has discov-
cred over 1000 double stars By the
eye at the telescope 1t was proved
that one out of eighteen stars on the
average is double.
But next the Lick Observatory
proved that vast numbers of stars
which even to the most powerful
| telescopes look like one are really
double, or even triple or quadruple.
Work with the spectroscope showed
that at least one star in every four
is double. The first magnitude star
4 Capella, for instance, consists of two
stars nearly equal in brightness, which
revolve around their common center
4 of mass every 104 days.
Only some $4,000 nebulae have been
observed as yet, but the Lick Observ.
atory has proved that several hundred
thousand nebulae visible to the tele
Iscope or the camera exist in the sky
waiting to be discovered whenever
opportunity can be found to under
take the work. Most nebulae have q
spiral form. The discovery was Who'll
