There is a 48-inch one at Melbourne
and another of the same size at Paris.
The Lowell, Ariz., observatory has a
40-inch telescope, and a 60-inch one
is being constructed at Cordova in
South 'America.
Important Work Done
One of the important scientific
works done by the local station is the
discovery of 22 asteroids in Professor
Watson's time. The results of inves-
tigations that have from time to time
been made here have added consider-
able to the knowledge of astronomy.
Of these, the spectre work of various
stars has been said by a Howland, as-
tronomer to be the most notable
achievement in astronomy in recent
years. Many minor investigations
have also been made.
The University observatory has full
equipment for spectre work, including
the measuring instruments. It also
possesses a seismograph for recording

Established in 1852
The observatory here was first es-
tablished in 1852, haling as equipment
a sideral clock, meridian circle, and a
12-inch refracting telescope. D.
Francis Brunnow was the first direc-
tor. He came from Berlin to take
charge in 1854, and remained until
1863.
He was sucpeeded by Prof. J. C.
Watson, who was director until 1879.
Prof. M. W. Harrington then took
charge for 12 years, beingsuperseded
in 1892 by Asa Paul, Jr., who remained
until 1905, when the present director,
Prof. R. C. Hussey, came.
16-Inch Telescope Provided
A 16-inch telescope was provided in
1880 for instruction. The 37-inch re-
flecting telescope and the addition to
the observatory were completed in
1911. This telescope has been used
almost exclusively for stellar spectro-
scopic work, and at the time of its
completion there were only two larger
ones in the world.
Now it is principally an instrument
of research. In 1911 the construction
of a 24-inch refracting telescope was
begun, but has not been completed on,
account of the impossibility of secur-
ing the proper glass for the objective.1
Glass-makers have not scceeded in,
making a suitable glass so far.c
Mt. Wilson Has Largest One
'The largest telescope in the world
is one having a 100-inch aperture, and
is located at Mt. Wilson, California.
The Canadian observatory at Victoria
possesses the next in size, it having:
one of 72 inches. There are two 60-
inch telescopes, one at Harvard uni-

Chicago, July 21.-Submissionbof the

erendum vote by the 1,800,000 railroad
workers, without recommendation
fr m the? union leaders either for its
acceptanbe or rejection, appeared
probable tonight.
This was the opinion in labor circles
following rejection by the United
States)railway labor board of a peti-
tion for a rehearing of the case.
Three courses were open to the
union chiefs:
First, submission without recom-
mendation; second, recommendation
that the -award be accepted; and third;
that it be rejected.
The more conservative counsel in
the union ranks steadfastly has op-
posed outright rejection of the labor
board's decision. T1e door to recom-
mendation of adoption apparently was'
closed today, leaders of the rail work-
ers intimated, when they requested
the case be reopened, and the board
refused to accede.

"The firm coundation which these
men laid for Michigan resulted in the
great University of today," Dr. Hutch-

administrations was described by him.

PRESIDENT BUSY WITH WORK
OF COMING REGENT'S MEETING
President Marion L. Burton returned
f this niorning from Columbus, Ohio,
where he spoke yesterday at a large
meeting in the interests of an educa-
tional drive of that city.
They leave of absence caused by this
trip, together with the organizatjon of
administration business for~ the Re-
gents' meeting tomorrow, has caused
an accumulation of the president's
work.
He is planning a vacation at an early
date so that he will be fresh for under-
taking the real administration of the
University, which will begin with the
start of school in the fall. The pre-
liminary work of getting in touch with
things and organizing them has taken
a great deal of President Burton's
time.
There also have been innumerable
requests for the services of Dr. Burton
as a public speaker, which have re-
quired much of his time.
The address yesterday at Columbus
was given for the purpose of focusing
the attention of the citizens on- the
importance of the full development of
a complete educational program.
