WATSON'S TRAGB) HEATH.
This observatory is known to the
scientific world as the Watson Solar
Observatory, and Lhe experiment was
watched with the greatest interest by
astronomers ell over the world, After
Watson's tragic death his successor,
Edward S. Holden, tried to oarry out
the idea, but he mot with only partial
success. It now appears .bat the lumi-
nous bodies that Watson saw wore not
planets, but two fixed seal's, 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 StateUni-
versity, and was considered one of the
leading American scientists in his spe-
oial field. Ile died in the prime of life.
The other day Prof. George Com -
stook, Lho present 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 forty years ago a Frenchman
by the name of Le 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
during the total solar eclipse of 1878.
Prof. J. 0. Watson, a former director
of this observatory, but at that time
connected with the observatory of
Michigan, went out 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 twoplanets
where only one had been suspected.
Coming to Wisconsin in the same year,
he endeavored to raise funds for the
oonstruation 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.

Ahunt forty years ago a gentleman
agreed to smoke a pound weight of
strong cigars in twelve hours. The
100 cigars making up the pound were
all to be smoked down to one -inch
butts. The match 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 Lha wind. The con-
test began at 10 a.m., andin 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 declared that he felt
no discomfort during the contest and
finished off the 100 cigars that even-

and to decide the championship of the
town 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 smoked the
tobacco first was to be the winner. At
the signal the air was filled with
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
his little smoker. After such hercu-
lean smoking matches it is scarcely
necessary to mention the American
contest, in which the winner smoked
100 cigarettes in six hours and thirty-
five minutes. .

Watson's intention to place a mirror

from any desired part of the sky,

cellar to examine in broad daylight
the stars just no they are to be seen

did not live to see the completion of
his plan, but ho died believing in the
certain soothes of hie undertaking.
After his death, in 1880, his successor,
Edward S. Holden, endeavored to
angry out Watson's ethernet, but met
with no very great degree of success.
"The long tuba up which the tele-
soopo was pointed was of some advan-

It now appears probable that Wat-
son was mistaken in regard to his
