testimony OF the eye, but that time
the Judge was sorely mistaken, for
the witness told the exact truth,
but was not believed because the
truth was too extraordinary.
As intimated above, Neptune was
the second planet of whose existence
the ancient astronomers had no SUE
picion to be discovered, the first be-
ing Uranus, which Sir William Her
schel found with his telescope in
March. 1881. The period Of revolu-
ton of Uranus around the sun is
eighty-four years, so that 1t has COM
pleted one whole revolution and two
thirds Of another since its discovery.
But, like Neptune, Uranus was seen
and mistaken for a star long before
its actual discovery or recognition
as a planet. As we have seen, the
discovery of Neptune was virtually
effected by mathematical calculation
before any telescope had revealed 1t,
and these calculations were under
taken in an effort to account for cer-
tain irregularities in the motion of
Herschel's new planet, Uranus.
The mathematician concluded
that there must be another planet
revolving unseen around the sun
far outside the orbit in which IRA
nus Travelled, and that 1t was the
varying attraction of this outer
planet, as the two slowly changed
their places with respect to one an
other, that caused the enigmatical
conduct Of Uranus. They were able
n of I'M hn Ohoh -
of the disturbing planet with suffi-
cient accuracy to give the lockers
in the observatories a correct direc-
ton for finding 1t.
Good fortune as well as good work
characterized their proceedings, and
SO the discovery was made in spite
Of some serious mistakes in the cal
culations. AS often happens. the
balance was good, though some of
the items were all wrong.
At present there are many as
tronomers who think that still
more distant planet than Neptune
exists, and will eventually be
found; the reason for this belief
being that both Uranus and Nep-
tune show irregularities in their
motions which could be produced
by the attraction Of such a body.
The behavior of certain comets
coming in from outer space also
suggests that there may be some
thing out there that affects them
by its gravitation.
Both Uranus and Neptune are 30
far away-Uranus being about L.
