While You Sleep Scientists Are
Looking For a New World
They Will Not Be Able to See It, But Dull, Mindless
Photographer Plate May Find 1t For Them.

w men are looking for world
The probabilities that they will find it.
For fifty years it has been very definitely known
that somewhere outside the orbit of Neptune whose
distance from the earth about three billion miles,

But scientists have found that nanmate Photographic

human eye with the aid Of photography that it is hoped
within few days establish the existence
another planet.

Astronomy probably the oldest of all sciences In China
Egypt and Babnia there recorded prehistoric evidences
OF crude observations of the stars thousands of years

Two Of the eight major planets with which we are &C.
auanted have been discovered in modern times by
Hersche in 1871 and Neptune by D'Arrest in 184e.
Uranus had long been observed star before it dis

diameter four times greater than that of the earth
Neptune was computed planet for many years before it
The orbit Of Uranus evidenced that force
outside OF it exerted an influence on its motions.

So accurate have astronomical mathematics that the
scientists compute the position of planet which they
have never seen and the position in which Neptune finally
found to be had been very definitely established by
Adams and Leverer before the telescope vsby

there is another world where astronomers have ca

What they beyond them when they look into the
vast depths of the skies?
Are there other and worlds of which shall never

The astronomers will look their plate and they see

nounce it as great discovery and the world will applaud
their patience and wisdom But the discovery of planet
