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.

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.

CHIEFS WILL LET WORKERS DECIDE Chicago, July 21.-Submissionbof the $600,000,000 rail wage award to a ref- 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.

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.
