WE THANK YOU-BUT

December 10th, 1881.
Editor Of The Tribune:
We appeal through your columns to
the public to cooperate with us in an
endeavor to correct custom, motivat-
ed by a spirit of helpfulness, but TAX
ing form practically in misdirected ef-
fort.
We refer to the custom of neighbor-
hood effort sponsored by some well
meaning local organization such as
Sunday School. lodge fraternity, mems
or women's club, etc. in collecting and
expressing to- us, sometimes prepaid.
sometimes not. box Of second hand
books for our Children's Building, In
firmary. or Cottage library.
In the first place, so far as the
Children's library is concerned, we
cannot make use of them without as
surance from responsible donors that
the books have not been exposed to
infection in the community Where
they we're collected. Usually this is
impossible. Who locally is in position
to vouch for this?
In the second place, the books re-
ceived in many instances have already
been duplicated or Implicated by DO
nations from other similar sources and
we are obliged to turn them over to
some outside school or social organi-
cation or burn them up, which latter
we are frequently obliged to do.
OF course we always make grateful
acknowledgment of their receipt
feeling that credit should be given for
the endeavor to help, but as matter
of fact the system is wrongly con-
ceived, wasteful, and utterly impractl-
cal
We have a Patients Welfare Fund
If the amount Of money alone paid fol

magazine contributions. were mailed
in to be applied on that fund, thank.
full acknowledgment would follow ano
we would then with such cash con-
tributions procure suitable books tt
replenish wants in the Children.

tage library respectively.
We appeal to all social welfare or

new GIANT PLANET
PREDICTION MADE
Jamaica Astronomer Fore
casts Discovery From In
fIuence Upon Uranus.
BY HOWARD W.. BLAKEsLEE.
Associated Press Science Editor.

NEW YORK. October 2e.-Frediction
Of new giant planet lying far outside
the present limits Of the solar system
was received today from Prof William
II. Pickering. internationally known
astronomer - the Vaudeville, Jamaica
private observatory.
re Is one Of the two astronomers who
predicted the existence and position Of
Pluto the new planet x" discovered
two years ego. He calls the new I'M
known planet p.
This planet he estimates as the third
most massive OF the SUMS family, sur
passed only by mighty Japiter. which
Ia about twice its SIR, and ringed sat
urn. His computations show its diam
eter az $4,000 miles more than five
times that Of the earth.
Over 5000 Million Miles From Sun
It's distance from the sun appears 70

million, or IS to 9S times the earth's
distance.
It's elliptical orbit accounts for the
variations in distance

q clearly defined disc. Pluto, about the
esrth's size and but half as far from
the sun as the calculated position OF
planet P. shows only as point Of light
even In the worlds largest telescope.
The evidence OF this massive I'M
known world Is the present peculiar
action OF the planet Uranus, one Of
the outer members Of the solar system.
Uranus, in astronomical language, Is
sperturbed.s This means that Uranus

displacement is due. in Prof. Picker

sition to be 'perturbed" in the year

Captures" rs Comets.
Other gravitationai clues TO the
giant p are found In the orbits Of Is
comets. These all belong to . single
group, which. DR.. Pickering says. was
brought together by the action Of
planet p in capturing them
This means that the unknown planet
holds a dominant gravitational pull
over them during their outer flights
far from the sun. He estimates that
these comets require on the average
their elongated orbits
Two other unknown planets, both
smaller and not so far distant, DR..
Pickering says, appear to be knocking
for recognition with their gravitational
messages. There can scarcely be any
doubt, he thinks, that one Of these two
''perturbed" Uranus In 1924.
These messages should also be regis
tered by the other outer planets. Nep-
tune and Pluto. but both are said by
DR.. Pickering to be too recently discov-
cred TO furnish the information. Nep-
tune has not yet completed one circuit
Of his orbit since his discovery in l846.
1t will be several hundred years before
Pluto's first year" Is completed.

New Plan Was
Sent to France
CONTINUED on Page ~


ended to-day. Regarding the new
formula he said confidently:
1--WE feel that it WIFI offer con-
structive solution to the various diff
ficulties."
The only remaining unsettled
point is whether the technical COM
mittee to be appointed to discuss dis
posal of current contracts for repara-
lions in kind" shall be left free or
instructed to act within the spirit OF
the Hoover proposal.
Castles formal summary of the
situation to-day was as follows:
I'VE have no misgivings that the
presidents plan will become effec-
tive. The French government did
not accept our note of July 4, which
was published July s, as the basis
several new questions which have
not been hitherto discussed, many Of
which involve relations between the
signatories to the Young plan to
which we are not q party. and which,
of course, we cannot pretend to be
able to negotiate. They also asked
our government to undertake obliga-
tons in the providing Of loans to 9TH
er governments and to facilitate the
floating Of securities in the United
States. which questions lie entirely
outside of the province of our gov
eminent.
"These suggestions are due, no
to a Misunderstanding OF our
governmental relations to the finan-
cial machinery Of the country.
1.-THE French government insists
that reparations in kind, which in
volve about $20,000,000 so far as
France is concerned, should be dis
from other PREPARATIONS.
1t is not so much the $4,000, 900 in
volved as the fact that we have al
ready been notified from four or five
other governments that they must
make exceptions to the presid ent's
plan IL exceptions are made to any,
one. And thus the plan would become
very seriously whitfield away.
THE reparations in kind, however,
are a very technical question, as are
the other questions raised by the
French government. They all arise
from the difficulties lying in the
complex character of Individual
rights to reparations from Germany
under the Young plan
