HOoVeria

A STEROIDS, as the tiny planets
IN were named, are frequently dis
covered and then lost track Of. Oc-
casionally old ones are mistaken for
new ones.
Accordingly, astronomers consti-
tuted the Recheninstitut at Berlin
as a clearing house for asteroids.
When the discovery Of a new one is
verified, the institute gives it an
official number, while the discoverer
is permitted to name it.
The first ones were named after
neurological gods and personages.
They since have been named after
nations, cities, colleges, friends of
the discoverers and even steam
boats and pet dogs,
Shortly after the World war, a
Belgian astronomer named one
"Hooveria," in grateful recollection
of President Hoovers work in Bel
GUM.
The asteroids are extremely small.
The largest, Ceres, has diameter
of 480 miles. Some have diameters
of less than ten miles. They have
been called mountains broken
loose"
One of the most interesting is
Eros. This has so f1attened an orbit
that periodically it approaches closer
to the earth than any astronomical
body except the moon. 1t then is
l3,640,000 miles from the earth to
Eros. Eros is about fifteen miles in
diameter.
Two theories have been advanced
to account for the origin of the as
teroids. One is that they originally
constituted great planet which ex-
ploded in some gigantic cataclySm.
The other theory is that they are
material which was prevented from
collecting into a planet at the time
when the solar system came into
existence.
1t is thought, perhaps, that the
gravitational pull of Jupiter, the
largest of all planets, may have had
something to do with this.

Brookhart Out in Open

CENATOR HOWELL, who created
- something of a sensation the
other day by declaring that Wash
ington was wet and that the Presi-
dent could make it dry, thinks the
latter "a little unfair" in demanding
specific instances.
He spoke not from personal ex-
perience, he says, but from what
was common knowledge" around
the Capitol.
Senator Brookhart is not so shy,
but tells specifically OF dinner at
which senators were present and
liquor was available.
Not only that, but he tells who
gave the dinner, and leaves the i'm
preston that it might have had
something TO do with financial leg
islation, since a Wall Street man
was host.

Tariff More Important

TT is not to be presumed for one
IL moment that the Shearer case is
an isolated incident. That other
publicity experts have not sold
themselves in like manner, or that
three shipbuilding companies, were
the only ones to fall for the idea of
lobbying through printers ink.
AS matter of common sense, the
tariff is of far greater concern to
American business than a naval
conference, or cruiser bill, while
manufactured propaganda has be-
come too much of fad for anyone
to doubt its use on every possible
occasion.
If one observer" was considered
necessary by shipbuilders at Geneva,
how many would the various in
terests affected think desirable at
Washington in connection with a
tariff bill?
We can not hope to stop lobbying
of course, whether by high priced
lawyers, publicity hounds, or vamps.
The evil goes With republic ana
is an unacceptable weakness of
democracy.
The thing can bt identified, how
ever, and labeled according to the
food and drug act, which would go
far to destroy its pernicious in
fuence.
The danger of a third house at
Washington consists mainly of what
it can do in the dark. Turn on the
light. and it ceases to be much of
a menace.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
The Story of the Asteroids
Forms One of the Most
Interesting Chapters IN the
History of Astronomy.

THE results of a three-year
l. survey of one of the most
fascinating problems of astronomy
are to be published in few months.
The research concerns the asteroids
or little planets" which. according
to one theory, are the remnants OF
a planet like our own earth which
exploded.
Final revision of the manuscript
is being made by Prof A. o. Leusch-
ner. DR.. H. Thiele and Mrs. M. w.
Wakemson, who, at request OF the
National Research council, under
took the study three years ago.
What Professor Leuschner and ms
associates have done is to assemble
all the important work done upon
the motions Of the definitely known
1901 asteroids or minor planets as
they are sometimes called. To do
this, they were forced to review all
the literature dealing with the
asteroids from the time Of the dis
covery of the first one more than a
century ago.

IT never has been my privilege to
l. meet William B. Shearer, who
I understand, is naval expert. But
Shearer happens to live near the
Hale Lake section of Stanford and
is known by many Of my rural
neighbors.
I asked one Of them about the
gentleman who has figured so much
in the news of late as a conference
killer and he thought a long time in
an effort to give me an adequate
description. Then his face bright
ened and he said, "Shearer is a man

tunity. Learn to shout by mail, -

our present economic structure that

Captains of industry pride them
selves that our economic organiza-
ton is hard-boiled and efficient and
yet there is scarcely a job in all the
land which can't be had by a lad
with lungs and proper resonance.
Still, there would be just bit of
fraud in teaching by mail. While
it is true that the chesty ones can
and do talk themselves into jobs,
there is catch in this road to sue
cess. AS a matter of fact, they al
ways talk themselves out again.

Bethlehem Steel Company resent
any share OF my funds which may
have gone to Shearer. At ten min
utes' notice I could have guaranteed
to pick for them naval expert cap

half the money.

Police

TINE story of the asteroids is the
story of the astronomical de-
tective police" the story of a hunt
for a missing planet which ended
with surprising results.
In 1772 Johann Ebert Bode point
ed out that the distance between
planets increased III an orderly
progression with the exception that
there was an unusually large gap
between Mars and Jupiter. This
progression became known as Bodies
law but received no particular at
tention until Sir William Herschel
discovered the planet Uranus in
1871.
The distance of Uranus from the
sun was approximately that called
for by BODIES law.
So in 1900 Baron Franz Won Zach,
director of the observatory at CO.
tina, Germany, organized twenty
four astronomers into what he jok-
ingly called the astronomical de-
tective police. They divided up the
sky between them and began a
telescope search for the missing
planet, which, according to BODIES
law, should be between Mars and
Jupiter.
They worked all year with no sue
cess, but on the night of Jan. 1,
1901, the first night of the nine
tenth century, an Italian astron-
omer, Giuseppe Piazzi at Palermo,
Sicily, discovered a tiny planet in
the gap He named it Ceres, after
the traditional goddess of the island.
Astronomers were surprised by its
tiny size. But other surprises were
to come. A second tiny planet was
discovered in the same gap in 1902,
q third in 1904 and a fifth in 1907.
No more were discovered until 1845.
but since that day about 1000 have
been discovered. No two revolve in
exactly the same orbit.
