Success
THE astronomical

THE astronomical detectives
Il worked all year without success,
but on the night of Jan. l, 1901, the
first night of the nineteenth CEN
tury, an Italian named Giuseppe
Piazzi, at Palermo, Sicily, discovered
tiny planet in the gap. He named
it Ceres, after the traditional god
dess of the island.
Astronomers were surprised by it's
size. But that was only the first of
a series of surprises.
A second tiny planet was discov-
cred in the same gap in 1902, a third
in 1904 and a fourth in 1907. No
more were discovered until 1845.
Since that day, however, about a
thousand have been found. No two
revolve in exactly the same orbit.
Asteroids, as the tiny planets were
named, are frequently discovered
and then lost sight of. Occasion
ally old ones are rediscovered and
mistaken for new ones.
For this reason, astronomers con-
stituted the Rechininstitut at Berlin
as clearing house for asteroids.
The institute keeps tracks of aste-
roids, gives a number to new ones
when verified and permits the dis
coverer to name it.
The first ones were named after
Greek gods. But they have since
been named after nations, cities,
colleges, friends of the discoveries
and even steamboats, and pet dogs.
Shortly after the World war, a
Belgian astronomer named one
''Hooveria" in grateful recollection
of President Hoover'S work in Bel
GUM.
Recently, Professor A. o. Leusch-
ner, DR.. H. Thiele aand Mrs. M. w.
Mekenson finished a manuscript
which they undertook for the Ma
tional Research Council three years
ago. The manuscript to be pub
lished soon, assemblies all the i'm
portant work done upon the aste-
roids since the discovery of the first
one.

Hoover is my shepherd, and I am
in want.
He maketh me to lie down on the
park benches.
He leadeth me beside the free
soup houses.
He restoreth my doubt in politics
and party.
He leadeth me in the path OF
destruction for his party's sake.
Yea! though I walk through the
valley of starvation, fear evil; for
thou art against me; thy politicians
and thy profiteers they do frighten
me.
Thou preparest reduction in wages
before me in the presence of mine
enemies.
Thou anointest my income with
taxes; my expenses overrunneth my
income.
Surely poverty and unemployment
will follow me all the days of this
administration and I will dwell in a

SCIENCE
"DetectiUes of SKY" Adhered
Surprising Results In
Search for Missing Planet.
BY DAVID DIETZ

THE suggestion that Pluto, as
Il Planet K, now has been named
officially, may be one of number
Of hotlies similar to the asteroids,
serves to recall the interesting story
of the asteroids themselves.
The story of the asteroids is the
story Of the astronomical detective
police" and the romance of hunt
70 ra missing planet, which ended
with surprising results.
We must go back to the year 1772,
four years before the American
patriots signed the Declaration of
Independence, for the beginning of
the story.
In 1772, John Ebert Bode published
what became known as BODIES law.
He showed that the distance of the
planets fro mthe sun increased in
regular mathematical fashion. But
the gap between Mars and Jupiter,
on the basis of the law, was equal
to the distance OF two planets. In
other words, there was a planet
missing between Mars and Jupiter.
The law did not receive much at
tention until almost a century later
when in 1871, Sir William Herschel
discovered the planet Uranus. The
distance of Uranus from the sun
was approximately that which
BODIES law required.
So in 1900, Baron Franz Won Zach,
director Of the observatory at Gotha,
Germany, organized twenty-four
astronomers into what he jokingIy
called the astronomical detective
police.
They divided the sky among them
and started telescope search for
the missing planet which ought to
have been between Mars and
Jupiter.

venture. He is the kind who doesn't
give up anything or stick to any
thing permanently.
But he's hack on the throne, with
the royal family ready to forgive,
the parliament ready to submit, the
deserted wife ready to resume, and
the 9-year-old son ready to quit
playing at the king business.
More important than all else, he's
there, not because of anything he
did himself or failed to do, but be-
cause of an illusionment which has
afflicted humanity since the dawn

A GAIN and again the eugenists
4 n find it necessary to urge the
higher mental types among man
kind to propagate more efficiently.
The condition is not unique in the
United States or in England, but
seems to occur all over the world.
In an address delivered in Vienna
recently by Professor Muckermann
of Berlin, the figures were revealed
as they concerned families OF 1000
university professors.
It was found that IS per cent OF
these families were childless, that
the average number of children in
each family was 2.8, and that about
one-fourth of the children died be-
fore they were married.
Thus the children of the intellec-
tual group are insufficient in num-
Der to replace the parents. Further
more, not all the children are as

Il 1NSTEIN announces a new
~ theory and Carol becomes
king of Rimania. The best thing
about either of these events is that
it gives us Americans a chance to
talk about something besides pro-
hibition and the tariff.
Those who have the nerve are
welcome to Einstein, but this writer
will stay with Carol for the time
being. at least.
Like Professor Whitehead of Bos-
ton, he thinks that the Einstein
theory is much more complicated
than the newspaper reports indi-
cate, and that plenty of time should
be taken before commenting on it.
Besides, this writer is not worried
particularly about the question as
to whether the great void is COM
posed of space or ether, since it
looks as though we poor human
beings could not do much about it
in either case.
Though the problem presented by
Carol is much simpler, it still is
complicated enough to intrigue
those who do crossword puzzles or
bet on the races.
Better still, it is elementally hui
man. Had it cropped up in the
form Of novel, one doubts whether
it would have gotten by the censors.
Most certainly, it would not have
gotten by them in Boston.

Career Is Hectic

EIRST, Prince Carol runs away
l. from the army to marry a
majors daughter, and during the
war, at that. Mamma Marie weeps,
Papa Ferdinand scolds, and the
supreme court Of Rumania orders a
divorce. Carol finds himself not only
compelled to give up his pretty
zizi Lambrino, but jailed for
twenty-five days on charges of
desertion.
To get out of the scrape, he takes
trip around the-world, from which
he returns an apparently chastened
youth and marries the Princess
Helen. They are not happy, but
endure each other long enough to
produce an heir.
Three or four years later, Carol
runs across a junkman's daughter,
falls in love with her, renounces his
right to the throne, deserts the
Princess Helen and his little son
Michael, and is hailed by so-called
liberals as proving how thoroughly
the world has been saved from
democracy.
II r
TN the course of events, Papa Fer
4 dinand dies, there is a grand
mixup in Rumanian politics, and
because no one can think Of any
thing better, 5-year-old Michael is
placed on the throne.
Prince Carol appears content with
this solution Of the mess, especially
since it leaves him free to live in
France with his latest affinity, Nine.
Lepescu, a shining example of the
new political and social order.
He has learned enough, however,
not to marry the lady, which causes
some people to suspect that, in spite
of all the balderdash, he still has
an eye on the Rumanian throne.
