SEE PLANETS AT MIDDAY,
THE UNDERGROUND OBSERVATORY
OF PROF, WATSON.
Insieraeliciono SMitine or a leeconsin
rroressor--Experignont watched With
future:3f.
The little building crotiched on the
south side of Observatory Hill, could
tell a story a life sacrificed in the
eause of ecienee, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel, Prof. James C. Wat-
son spent the last t,ent lin had in
building it, and died of congestion of
the lungs brought on be- exposure,
just as the structure was nearing (ANIL-
pletion. His ideas were ea.rried out,
• but were found to be erroneous. By
meansef this observatory Astronomer
Watson •thought lie could study the
seers during the daytime and esPe-
elally two planets which ee tlaought
he saw circling the sun ingide the orbit
of Mercury.
To the uninitiated this little house
looks like a sveary ordinary pieee of
masonry; but it isint. It covers, as a
lid to a teapot, a cellar that is some-
thing over fifty feet deep. On the
crest of the hill anove the little house
is an oblong mass of red brick, oovered
with a thick plank dem. Lifting thia
door you see a tunnel eighteen inches
in diameter that penetrates the hill.
If you dropped down this tunnel you
would land•at the bottom of tee cellar
of the little house, 100 feet below. This
sounds like a description of 'Jacob's
ladder" in Anthony Rape's tale,'"The
Prisoner of Zende." Prof. Watson
thought thit by placlug a telescope
at the bottom of the tunnel te the cel-
lar he could seethe stars just as they
are seen at noon -day from the bottom
a a deep well or canon. What he
wanted in particular to study was two
planets that he supposed he saw dur-
ing a total eclipse of the sun in 1878.
WATSON'S TRAGIC DEATH,
This observatory is known to •the
scientific: world as the Watson Solar
Observatory, and the experiment was
watched with the greatest interest by
astronomers all over the world. After
Watson's tragie death his successor,
Edward S. Holden, :tried to carry out
•the idea, but he met with only partial
• success. It now appears that the lumi-
nous bodies that Watson saw were not
planets, but two fixed stars, that occu-
pied the same relative position at cer-
• tain periods that Watson thought his
planets did.
Prof. Watson was the first director
of Washburn Observatory. He was a
very large man, with dense black hair
and beard. Prior to his coming to Wis-
consin he had held the position of head
astronomer at the Michigan State Uni-
versity, and was considered one ofthe
leading American scientists in his ape-
cial field. He died in the prime of life.
The other day Prof. George Com-
stoek, the piresent director of Wash-
burn Observatory, stopped work on his
report to the President as a member
of the board of visitors to the United
States Naval Observatory at Washing-
ton, long enough to tell the history of
the unique building that sits at the
foot of the hill just below the director's
window. "It's a queer story," he said.
"About tarty years ago a Frenchman
by the name of La Verier imagined that
he had discovered a planet revolving
about the sun inside the orbit of Mer-
cury. This, of course, .attracted great
attention, and search was made for it
duTing the total solar eclipse of '1878.
Prof. J. C. Watson, a former director
of • this observatory, but at that time
connected with the observatory of
Michigan went mit to Wyoming to
search for La Verier's planet, where
he would be aided by the clear atmos-
phere. He returned filled with the be-
lief that he had discovered two planets
where only one had been suspected.
Coming to Wisconsin in the same year,
he endeavored to raise funds for the
construction of an observatory and ap-
paratus which would enable him to see
and observe these planets at all times
of the day instead, of at total eclipses
of the sun.
• AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.
"Finding it difficult to obtain funds,
he constructed, at his own expense the
Solar Observatory, at the foot of this
hill, facing the south. The distinctive
feature of this structure is the very
deep cellar connected by an under-
ground passage with the hollow -brick
piers at the top of the hill. It was
Watson's intention to place a mirror
on the pier and reflect down the tube
into the cellar rays of light eoraing
from any desired part of the sky,
and by means of a telescope in the
cellar to examine in broad daylight
the stars just as they are to be seen
from the bottom of a deep well. He
did not live to see the completibn of
his plane but he died believing in the
certain success of his undertaking.
After his death, in 1880, his. successor,
Edward S. Holden, endeavored to
carry. out Watson's scheme„but Met
with no very great degree of success.
"Me long tube up which the tele-
scope was pointed was of Sorae advan-
tage in the daytime. But stars were
•never discerned so feint as the planets
Watson supposed he had discovered..
It now appears probable that Wat-
son was mistaken in regard to his
planets. They have nevee been seen
since 1878, and evidence is strong to
show that he observed be mistake two
fixed stars tvlaieh exist in the region
where he supposed he found the
planets."

Smoking is the temperate as well as
the contemplative man's recreation
and great smokers are loath to exhibit
their tobacco-constuning abilities by
engaging in smoking eontests. Still,
however, there have been some curi-
ous tobacco raCOS. In 1723 there was
a great smoking contest at Oxford,
England, a scaffold being erected in
front of an inn foe the accoramodation
of the competitors. The conditions
were that anyone, men or woman, who,
could smoke three ounces of tobaoco
first, without drinking or leaving the
eta.ge, shauld have a peize of twelve
"Many tried," said Hearne, "ad
'twas thought that a joerneyrnan tail-
or of St. Peters in the east would have
been the victor, be emoking faster than
and being many pipes before the rest,
but at last he was so sick twas
thougb he would have died and an
old, Man that had been a builder and
'smoking gently came off the conquer-
or, snaoleing the three ounces quite out,
and he told me that after that he
smoked three or four pipes the same
evening." ,
About forty years ago a geettleman
agreed to smoke a pound weight of
strong 'cigars in •twelve' hours. • The
100 cigars making up the pond were
all to be smoked. down to one -ince
butts. The matela was decided on a
Thames steamer, plying between Lon-
don and Chelsea, and by taking up his
position well forward the smoker had
the full benefit of the wind. The con-
test began at 10 a.m.., and in the first
hour the smoker consumed sixteen
cigars. • After nine hours smoking
eighty-six had been disposed of, and
with three hours to: go and only four-
teen to smoke the backer of time gave
in. The winner deelared that he felt
no discomfort during the contest and
finished off the 100 cigars that mese-
mg. More recently a solid cigar case
and 2410 cigars were offered to th0
smoker who consumed most cigars in
two hours. Food, drink, and medicine
were forbidden. There were seven-
teen entries. After the first hour ten
competitors retired. The winner,
who smoked without pause without
vrho smoked without pause from start
to finish, reduced ten large cigars to

est competirot only finished seven. The
people of Lille are inveterate smokers,
and to deeide the chain.pionship of the
tewn a smoking contest was held.
Each competitor was provided with a
pipe, fifty grammes, about an ounce
and three-quarters, of tobacco and a
pot of beer. The one who smokedathe
tobacco first was to be the winneri'At

clouds of smoke. In thirteen minutes
a workingman 45 years of age had re-
duced his weed to ashes, while seven
minutes later the second man finished

lean smoking matclaes - it is scarcely
necessary to mention the American
contest, in which the winner smoked.

WONDERS OF SURGERY.
Some Things That Modern Skill Can
Do.
A month or twp ago, a doctor was
called to attend a boy whose ear had
been completely bitten off by a vic-
ious horse. The- surgeon determined to
try and replace the ear, as failure to
do so could not result in a worse de-
forraity. •
The missing oar was duly found and
handed to the doctor, who was then
engaged in bathing the severed part
in we.= water. -He had neither in-
strunaeints nor dressings • with him
and as -the half-hour's delay to obtain
them would have been fatal to suc-
cess, he stitched the eer in its piece
again with a „common needle and
thread. This was followed by antisep-
tic treatment and in six weeks the
ear completely healed, leaving no scars.
Even had. this been a failure, an ear
made or a waxy composition and an
exact facsimile, of the other ear, could
have lieen made and fixed.
In some eases it has been necessary
to remove the tongue, but by raising
the floor of the mouth and thus in
some way filling the place of the miss-
ing organ, the patient has been en-
abled to speak almost perfectly.
The fitting of glass eyes is well
known, and the complete destruction
of the jawbone has no terrors for the
modern surgeon. The cruched bone is
removed and a piece of silver or alum-
inum, the exact shape of the loose jaw,
fittedin its place. After this has be-
come firmly fixed, teeth may be fitted
to it. If a names throat is defective,

sertion of, a silver tube in the windpipe
with an orifice opening to the throat,

TI1E CHILD WAS CURED. .
In some parts of Italy bleeding is
stillcensidered a sovereign ctire for
all kinds of sickness. A story is told
of a mother who protested against the
bleeding of her sick child. The doctor
assured her that one more applioatioe
of the cups would insure recovery, but
when he came the hext morning he
found the child deed. " Madam," aaid
the doctor, " be comforted by • know-
ing that your child died cured."

Dogs trained to catch fish are erelong
the features of everyday life ona the
barren shores of that distant part of
Labrador whieli belongs to New10111141-
land. • The valuable coa fisheries
along the 1,100 miles of Labrador's
coast yield about one-fifth of New-
foundland's total catch of cod, and
furnish employment annually to thous-
ands of hardy fisher folk. They fish

long two men to a boat, and each man
using two hand lines.' The usual bait
is oapelin. When fish are plentiful it,
takes a very short time to fill a boat
with cod. A, number of the fishermen
have trained their dogs to assist them_
in catohing fish.
The rapidity with which the fisher-
men haul up their long lines when
they feel a bite, robs the fish al-
most entirely of life and breath by
the time it eeaches the sirrface of the
sea. It conles to the to as completely
exbausted as a salmon that has been
played by an angler until he can tail
it with, his hand and so avoid the ne-
cessity of gaffing it, It is one thing,
however, to bring a heavy cod to the
•surface of the water and another to get
it into the boat. Gaefe and landing
nets are unknown to these toilers of
the sea. If the.y can lift the fish into

the boat by the..line, all is well; but
this is often where they fail. If the

siderably to the difficulty the dog has

the boat. The dog rarely releases his
hold upon his wriggling captive until
safe within the boat. •
Sometimes these dogs have „larger
game than codfish to struggle with in
the water. They are' trained to
plunge ;into the ice-cold water in the
spring Of the year and to act as re-
trievers for their masters when seal
are shot from tee shore on.the sur-
face of the sea.
The dogs employed by the fishermen
of Newfoundland and Labrador are by
no means the specimens of canine
magnificence usually known as New-
foundla.nd dogs. They more nearly re-
semble Eskimo dogs than anything
else, and are often quite wolfish in
both manner and a.ppearance. It is
even believed by many people that the
blood or the wild brutes of the forest
flows in their veins. At a pest near
Hamilton Inlit not long ago the door
of a house in which an infant was
sleeping in a cradle had been left open
for a short time during the temporary

family. When the mother re-entered
the house she found only the bones of
her child. The little one had been

DEVOURED BY DOGS.
The Labrad.or dogs are excessively
quarrelsome, and, wolf -like, always at-
tack the weaker. All seem anxious
to take past in the fray, and scarcely
a season passes without the settlers
losing two or three dogs during the
sumrner from wounds received in quar-
rels among themselves. Peace is in-
stantly restored even if twenty or
more are engaged in the affray, by
the sound, or even sight, of the dread-
ed Eskimo whip used by the Labrador -
tans. These people have seldom SIM.
ceeded in raising any other domesti-
cated animal. on the coast, cats, cows,
and pigs have all been destroyed by
the dogs. If ever a dog is brought
up in the house, his doom is sealed..
At the first opportunity, the others
will pounce upon him in the absence
of his master and worry him to death.
This is the invariable fate of any pri-
vileged dog 01.1 the coast that is per-
mitted to enter hie master's house and
to receive the caresses of the different

avenge themselves.
