lag tbe paat season by means of tbe

temporary astronomical station In
Jamaica. Although observations were
Interrupted by the approach of the
rainy season in May the undertaking
la sufficiently advanced to be complet
ed by midsummer, and Profeaaor
Pickering baa already brought to Cam
bridge a full aet of the photographs
necessary for the proposed publica
tion. The apparatus Is tbe long "hor
izontal telescope," already described
In the Herald, built on the principle of
reflecting the rays from the object hor
izontally through a filed lens. The
method permits of an extremely long
focus and secures a much larger pic
ture than li possible where the tube
of the. telescope is pointed at the ob
ject. The arrangement Is albo an ex
tremely economical one, temporary
sheds serving all tbe purposes of the
Aid-time tube, though tbe Instrumental
parts are very expensive. It is also
tbe only known methol '. maklu
large Instrumental powers readily
portable. The mirrors, lenses and ma
chinery of the telescope were all taken
from Cambridge early in October, but
nearly three months were spent in the
work of getting ready, so that It was
not until the morning of the first day
of the new century, a few minutes after
midnight, that the first observations
were made, and several days later be
fore satisfactory photographs were ob
tained. A 12-lnch lens 13 used with a
"stop" reducing It to a six-Inches di
ameter, for the photographic work, and
exposures of eight minutes are made
for the quick plates und of a minute
and a half for the slow plates, the
apparent inconsistency in the times of
exposure being due to the fact that tho
more sensitive plates are used Just
after the lunar sunrise or before the
lunar sunset, when bnt little light Is
obtainable from the crescent of the
moon. While the lunar geography Is
being studied at Jamaica,, It appears
that the local geography is not w th
out Its peculiar problems. The tem
Fame and
poverty
Herbert Spencor, whose name will
live In the world of thought as that
of one of the nineteenth century's
greatest thinkers, has recently passed
his 81st birthday. After a lifetime of
self-sacrifice and privations, the great
philosopher finds himself at the thres
hold of the grave almost as poor in
worldly posirsalons as when he started
the career that has brought him so
much fame but so little pecuniary
recognition. There Is something al
most pathPtlc In the life-work of a
man like Herbert Spencer. The son
of a school-master, ifr. Spencer was
educated very largely at borne by his
father, though ho also went to a school
at Bath, the head-master of which was
bis uncle. From 1837 to 1818 be piled
the profession of a civil engineer, and
for Ave years later acted as sub-editor
of the Economist before he turned to
the work with which his name will
always be identified.
It Is as a popular philosopher that
Herbert Spencer seems to hold his
reputation, and yet one must read the
account of his self-sacrifice and priva
tion before one can realize the tre
mendous battle which the beat known
philosopher of this century fought be
fore ho found any readers at all.

Their legs and feet are bare, and largo

There are others of a better class,
who have their heads completely cov

small aperture of fine needlework over
the eyea, so that they can see out. Just
enough to enable them to get along the

garment, which la thrown over the
head and reaches nearly to the ground,
bright green baggy trousers, which are
gathered at the ankle and fit snugly to
the foot like a sock, and bright red or
yellow slippers Just large enough to

per comes under the Instep of the foot,
so that they are compelled to shuffle
long walking on their toes only.

leather shoes, a leather strap around

porary station Is In a lonely region
surrounded by forests with but one
other house In sight As It sometimes
happens that no rain falls during a
whole month tbe water supply Is a se
rious consideration. Rain water la
collected on cement platforms called
barbecues, which are built primarily
for the drying of coffee and tbe pi
mento berries which provide tbe all
spice of commerce. The barbecue at
tbe observatory Is something like 40
by 80 feet In size, slightly Inclined so
that the rainfall can be conducted to
a cement tank for storage. However,
In tbe mountains the dew Is exceed
ingly heavy, and as the observatory
buildings are roofed with galvanized
iron, the Harvard party undertook by
means of gutters to gather the nightly
fall for drinking purposes. Sometimes
two or three gallons were collected in
a night. At present, of course, it is
the rainy season In Jamaica, with wa
ter enough and to spare, but It is
Pro. Pickering's intention to complete
his observations as soon as the condi

will then abandon the station, selling
the buildings and removing the Instru

station has been a decided succes?,
Aside from the photographic work on
the moon, which, of course, has re
sulted In records of permament value,
the "seeing" as the astronomers call

The Coreans are inveterate smokers
of green tobacco, which they use in
pipes with tiny bowls and stems two
or three feet long. They "stick their
pipes down the back of the neck when
not using them. There is a deal of
drinking, too, though they have many
proverbs against it "Heaven and
earth are too small for a drunken
man," "White whisky makes a red
face," "There is no bottom to tho ap

sell, although the edition ran only to
750 copies. The "Principles of
Psychology" with a first edition of 750
copies, did not sell out for twelve
years, and at tbe end of fifteen years
the author lost no less than $6,000
through his publications. The strong
eat man, however, is the man who can
wait, and Herbert Spencer waited. The
scientific method of studying human
life began to find willing pupils, not
only among scientists, but also among
young students of philosophy at the
universities and workingmen, who
gave tip their evenings to the study
of technical or social sciences. Few
books of philosophy have enjoyed so

of Ethics," where flowing and per

Moist Air Is Mb hi.
One of the commonest errors la to
speak of moist air as heavy. You And
the error everywhere In the newspa
pers, In magazines, In books, by the
best writers the "damp, heavy air."
Ten persons out of 12, old or young,
say that when the smoke from chim
neys hangs close to the ground It Is
because the air Is "damp end heavy,"
and that keep tbe smoke from rising.
Now, all this is Just the other way,
as everybody ought to know, since the
weather bureau has made us so fami
liar with barometric conditions and
changes. It Is dry air that Is heavy,
and moist air that Is light; it Is dry
air that bears down on the mercury
cup of the barometer, and sends the
column up In the tube; It Is damp air
that bears less heavily on the mercury,
and lets the column fall. A high baro
meter Indicates dry air and fine weath
er; a low barometer, damp air and
stormy weather. And so tar ts t
smoke la concerned, It Ilea close to the
ground when the air la damp and
light; It does not ascend because It If
heavier than the air; on the contrary,
when the air Is dry and heary-as II
Is on a line day the smoke ascends be
cause It Is lighter than the air.
