Looking for a STAR GAZING Perch

Southern Ca1ifornia. Arizona and the
West Indies.
The tropical island has had several
recent advocates. a prominent one
being Prof w II. Pickering, who has
written In the most enthusiastic
terms Of the seeing conditions at
Vaudeville. Jamaica, at an altitude OF
300 feet.
The best seeing at Harvard OBJ
servatory ranges from SO to 6.5 on
the scale of 10 for perfection, while
at Vaudeville 1t is 8.8. The steadi-
ness and definition Of stellar images
within 80 deg. Of the horizon is as
good at the latter station as that
within 80 deg. OF the zenith at the
former.
For solar observations one OF the
most favorable locations in the world
appears to be the floor of the Kash-
mir valley, India, at 5000 feet above
sea level. Several considerations be-
sides actual seeing" enter into the
question of the. best location for an
observatory. Thus favorable cir
cumstance at Mt. Hamilton Is that
nights are generally entirely clear
or entirely cloudy.

4 TMOSPHERIC conditions ia
~ yorable for astronomical OBJ
= = servations is more compli-
Gated subject than Is generally sup
posed, according to Prof. W. w.
Campbell. director of Lick observa-
tory, who recently went into the
question very thoroughly. The loca-
ton OF observatories on mountains
ana plateaus for the sake OF securing
clear skies and pure air is a compar-
1tive1y modern development.
Great efforts were made to induce
James Lick to locate his observatory
IN the Sierra Nevada mountains at
an altitude Of not less than 10000
feet, but other and probably wiser
counsel persuaded him to select Mt.
Hamilton-420O feet.
Some very extensive tests OF sites
have been made prior to locating
observing stations. notably, on be
half of Harvard observatory, by Bal
ley and Pickering, on the west coast
of South America: by Bailey in South
Africa. and by Pickering in Mexico.

the experiments made showed that

not to laymen, that there is a large
amount Of nutritive substance In the
wood OF deciduous trees, a less quan-
tity being found In that of conifers,
says the professor. In certain cir
cumstances this can be used as fod-

necessity, for human food. Our trees,
especially in winter, contain consider
able quantities Of sugar. starch and OIL.
''In early spring this nutrtttye

hydrates, especially starch, In 100

drates was found to fall In May to
minimum Of 1919 per cent, while IN
October It reached its maximum con-
