a number OF houses Just outside the
park and leased them to a most desira bile
class of people. 1t was his success with
that venture which convinced him of the

SHADED RETREATS AT
BROOKlAkE PARK.
HOWARD COLES PRIVATE
ESTATE AT MADISON. N.U.

A realty development OF a new sort
will be opened shortly in New Jersey
owing to the decision of Howard Cole OF
Howard Cole & Co., 1 Wall street, to
develop 400 acres of Brooklake, his
estate at Madison. Mr.. Coles plan in
dividing his own estate rs to establish a
suburban community that is exclusive in
a new sense of the word. He believes
that there should be some place where
the sale Of property Is restricted to per-
sons who wish to build real homes. but
who have moderate means. 1t Is to
meet this need rather than to make any
exorbitant profit himself that Mr.. Cole
has consented to subdivide his estate.
AS part Of his plan Mr.. Cole will is

will prefer to see the land themselves

country boy who came back from the
city with fortune. Many years ago
DR.. Leslie ID. Ward, one of the founders
and vice-president of the Prudential Life
Insurance Company of Newark. was
born on a small farm. which Is now a
part of the estate. He was educated to
be physician and for years practised
his profession In the community until
an opportunity presented itself to be-
come one of the organizers of the Pru-
dental Insurance Company and thus to
acquire a great deal of wealth in a short
time. He did not forget his boyhood
days, but went back and succeeded in
purchasing his old home and about a
thousand acres Of land surrounding 1t, |
which now constitutes Brooklake Park

HARVARD PROF. IN
SEARCH Of NEW PLANET ,

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 25-Pro-
fessor VIM. II. Pickering Of the Har-
ward astronomical observatory, who
is stationed at Manedville, Jamaica,
now Is engaged N a search for the
planet which Is supposed. by astron-
omers, to exist outside Neptune and
estimates that this undiscovered
member Of the solar system is some
fifty-five times as far from the sun
as is the earth, according to a state
ment made today by Prof. Solon I.
Bailey, acting director Of the Har-
ward observatory.
Astronomers have suspected the
existence Of a planet outside Nep-
tune for at least 80 years." said Prof.
Bailey, "and since 1877 many observ-
ers have tried to locate it. The
usual method was to study the per-
turbationsj Of Uranus and determine :
from these what mus. he the situa
ton Of the object which was de-
fiecting Uranus from it's course. In
recent years, Prof. Pickering has
studied the perturbations of Neptune,
as well, and as result. he has ascer-
tanned what he believes 20 be the ap-
proximate position of the new planet.
HE has recently been engaged in
a systematic study Of photographs
plates of the area of the sky in which,
he believes the planet to be situated
at present. His method is to have
telescope photographs of u certain
small section of the heavens taken at
short intervals, som, times taken only
day apart, and by placing the
plates one on top of another to see
If any Of the minute points recorded
on the plates seem to have moved.
This is the surest method of conduct
ing such a search. The photographs
are being taken for him here at Cam
bridge and at other observatories.
1T is expected that the planet will
be in opposition to the sun this VIM
ter and, therefore. in a favorabla
position for observations. The exact
date set for opposition by Prof. Pick
ering in recent estimate was De-
cember 30. 1919. 1t is thought tina.
the planet will be about the 18th
magnitude, which means that it will
prove to be several thousand times
too faint to be see.. with the make /
eye"
