FRAGMENTS FROM AN ASTRON-
ONIER'S WORK SHOP

BY DIR. Harlan 4. Stetson, direc.
tor of Perkins observatory, Ohio
Wesleyan University. Author Of
MAN and Stars
A Tiny Planet Makes A Big Event
Perhaps the single outstanding
event in astronomy in the year 1896
was the discovery of the planet Plu.
to, the new outermost known OBJ
ject of the solar system, far out be-
yond the orbit of Neptune The
planet is a rather small affair as
planets go, probably much smaller
than the earth, and hardly in the
category with the major planets cir
culating in the outer orbits of the
solar system.
AS nearly everyone knows, math-
ematical calculations have predicted
the existence of such body, much
as was the case in the discovery oil
the planet Neptune near the middle
of the 18th century However, nc
one knew exactly when or where the
new planet would be discovered
servatory for the painstaking search
which eliminated in it's discovery
AS in the case of Pluto, many out
standing events in astronomy have
come at unexpected times. and nc
one knows what the year 1881 may
bring in the way of some important
astronomical discovery not yet her
aided.
One event, however, whose cir.
cumstances can be definitely pre-
dicted is the near approach of the
little minor planet Eros which was
first discovered in the year 1898
wandering about in very eccentric
orbit, not very far away from the
orbit of Mars This tiny little body
probably not more than Is miles in
diameter, takes on unusual signifi-
canoe in 1881 as it swings around to
the part of it's orbit which is well in
side that of Mars 1t will come
closer to the earth than any other
known astronomical body except
the moon and meteors. The date OF
the nearest approach of Eros is set
for the end of January. when it will
be but 100000 miles away from
the earth. This is less than half the
distance to Mars when the latter
body is nearest the earth.
The paramount reason, however
why the astronomers just now are
getting excited over the coming
event is that Eros will afford oppor-
tunity at this close approach for
measuring with unusual accuracy
that 16 100000 mile distance. Now
astronomers are much more inter
ested in knowing the exact distance
Of the earth from the sun, which is
the fundamental yard-stick of the
solar system, than they are in this
particular distance Of Eros. Curious
ly enough, however, if We can mea
sure with greater accuracy than has
even been done before this distance
TO Eros. we shall be in position to
recaIculate with extreme nicely the
distance from the sun to the earth
This is made possible because of the
discovery of Johann Kepler, that the
motion and distances of the planets
are all very closely and intimately
related
Kepler was an odd genius who, in
spite OF long years of hard luck, fell
great thrill in playing with figures.
Day and night, year in and year out,
KepIer was juggling with figures
furnished him by his old master,
Tycho Brahe, whose mass of obser-
vations contributed one of the great
landmarks in practical astronomy

Delegates Accept Report Recon-.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, September 19.-The Inter
national Typographical Union last night
accepted a committee report recon-
mending that the industry seek to OBJ
tain a f1ve-day work week through
peaceful negotiation with employers.
Delegates to the seventy-sixth annual
convention voted $50 to 100 for accept
ance after two hours discussion.
The committee report stated that the
only solution to the present unemploy-
meflt depression was a restriction OF the
work week. It recommended that this
restriction should not be ordered in a
manner to close down any establish
mert. but should be made effective
through a stagger plan which would
keep down overhead and allow the ex-
penses to be based on 48-hour unit IN
stead Of a 40-hour one.
A careful study of the conditions
throughout the country proved, the
committee reported, that the putting
into effect of the shorter working period
by mandatory law would not be agree
able to the industry.
The committee recommended:
That local unions restrict the work
Ing time Of members.
That the General Executive Council
confer with other printing trade unions
on the question of how all could act to-
gether for the change.
That the Executive Council confer
with the employers associations for a
general discussion of the question.

the altar the first time.
Suit Must Be Settled.
"And now before Mrs. Kennedy and

heart balm suit on file in Los Angeles,
which was brought by Mrs. Ethel Lee
Parker Harbert," said Hudson. Il don't
want Mrs. Kennedy to face all the pub

of the suit before we are remarked.
Hudson married Mrs. Kennedy IN
Longview, Wash, several weeks ago.

Chaplin Hits Talkies

deliver it when the sound ap-
paratus is sour.
Nobody will deny that the in
dustry invites this sort of panning
when they release pictures like
Emil Jannings' Blue Angel" d"
where almost the entire recording
proved an irritation when this
feature had its Washington first
run.
Chaplin's picture is chuck full
of laughs, but they have stopped
all talk about it bringing about a
return of the silent films. AS a
matter of fact, he uses sound all
through the picture and a canned
musical accompaniment. So it
Sits down to the fact that Chap
