FINDS DOUBLE STARS
Professor Petit of Washburn Makes
Discovery in Astronomy.

The discovery of thirty-three 'dou-
BILE stars" and one triple star is the
achievement of Prof. Edison Petit, of
the department of astronomy of
Washburn college. Astronomical re-
searches conducted for about three
years resulted in the charting of 60
double stars by the Washburn as
tronomer A list of these with data
and measurements was sent last
month to Prof Eric Doolittle of the
Flower observatory of the University
of Pennsylvania who is bringing up
to date Burnham's Catalog of Double
Stars, issued in 1905 and containing
records of more than 10000 such
double stars. DoolittIe's answer re-
ceived today credits the Washburn
man with having discovered thirty
three new double stars and encourages
him to continue his researches. Prof.
Pettits name will appear in connec-
ton with the catalog soon to be is
sued and which will include more
than 5000 double stars discovered
since 1905.
The double stars appear as single
stars to the naked eye, when they
can be seen at all. Many of these
so-called double stars prove upon ex-
tensive observation to be complete
solar systems. Prof. Petit is studying
carefully his new found stars and ex-
poets after a few years observations
to prove that they are complete solar
systems.
