before hel'll consider you charm
ing. You've got to add to his
own sense OF ease, and grace ana
power.
That's why the homeliest men
and women are sometimes the
most charming. They have turned
away from their own inadequate
selves to seek interest and pleas
ure in other lives. They reach
out, give themselves and their
eagerness and sympathy are more
warming and stimulating than .

speeches. They have RE AL

If you want to BE- charming.

Francisco. Because Of the ex.
traordinary skill he displayed in
the use Of the old lens, It Be.
came famous 90 the Willard
lens OF the Lick Observatory.
Thousands Of his photographs
have been published in large vol.
umes by the Lick Observatory.

what wonder changes the
tails Of these bodies undergo,

that they must be due IN some
way to disturbing forces IN

The most spectacular of his
achievements. which coupled his
name with that OF Calico, was his
+ discovery Of the fifth satellite OF
Jupiter. Three centuries earlier,
,GaIileo had discovered that Jupi.
ter was accompanied by four
moons or satellites, which he
named the ':Medicean stars
on September 8, 1892, Barnard,
using the. 36-inch telescope, dis.
covered 4 fifth satellite Of Jl1piters
very small body revolving around
the great planet In less than
twelve hours, at a distance Of
about $1,000 miles from its SUR
face. This discovery bears elo-
quent testimony, "a Bryant has
pointed out, to the acuteness Of
Barnard's vision, as the fifth satel-
lite Il exceedingly small, being Of
the thirteenth magnitude, and
never moves far from the glaring
disk Of Jupiter. Other notable
achievements OF Barnard are: the
discovery that the small star Beta
Capricorni is double; the correct
description OF massive dark bodies
IN the Milky Way: and the iIlde.
pendent discovery of the faint,
hazy light, always opposite to the
sun, known by its German name
