Winter Makes a Snowy Debut '"Unusually early" is the word'
for this blanket of snow covering Mount Hamilton near San Jose,
Calif., and unusual, too, was the lightning that struck twice dur
ing the snowfall at Lick Observatory (visible at upper center).
Observatory officials said they had rarely observed lightning
during a snowstorm. The lightning might mean that winter is
on the way, but this white mantle indicates that it's already
mad snowy debut. (Acme Telcphoto)

Town Proposes
To Honor Judge
Harold R. Medina
Medina, N.D., Oct. 25 W
This little city of 900 may
change pronunciation of its
name to correspond with that
of the famed judge who pre
sided over the recent com
munist trial in New York.
Mayor Dan Preszler said to
day he will propose the
change as a tribute to Federal
Judge Harold R. Medina at the
city commission's next meet
ing. The city's name now is pro
nounced with a long "I," like
in Regina.
In Judge Medina's name the
"I" Is sounded as a long "e,"
rhyming with arena.
Preszler said changing the
pronunciation "would be one
way to pay some tribute to a
judge who by his conduct of
the communist trial showed
himself to be a great man and
a great American."

Another Moon
Makes 30 in the System
DesDite the fact that around

to our own lowly earth the
astronomical tendencies.
In this column February 20 It
of Uranus, discovered a year'
earlier, brought the total num
ber of planetary satellites to 29.
This figure has now been raised
to an even 30 by the spotting on
May 1, 1949, of a second moon
for Neptune.
Some may joyously exclaim,
Behold the rapid accomplish
ments of the new 200-inch tele
scope!" But the new Palomar in
strument cannot claim credit.
Both the recently - discovered
satellites were found on photo
graphs taken through the 82
inch reflector of the McDonald
observatory on Mount Locke,
Tex., the institution operated
jointly by the Universities of
Texas and Chicago.
It will be recalled that Nep
tune, one of the larger planets
with a diameter four times that
of the earth, is 30 times farther
from the sun than are we and
requires 165 of our terrestrial
years to make one trip around
the sun. The only known planet
beyond it is Pluto.
The discovery of Neptune in
1846 was a triumph for mathe
matical astronomy. It had long
been known that Uranus, the
world one step nearer us than
Neptune, was not following
strictly the orbit which compu
tations indicated it should
Small as the deviation was it
amounted in 60 years to only
115 the apparent diameter of
the moon this was intolerable
in scientific precision.
Leverrier, the brilliant young
French mathematician, under
took to calculate the location of
an unknown planet which might
cause he discrepancy. After long
and laborious work, he felt he
had the problem solved and
wrote to Galle at the Observa
tory of Berlin to point his tele
scope to a certain part of the
sky. On Sept. 23, 1846, Galle fol
lowed instructions and very
soon located the hitherto un
known world.
A month after Neptune's dis
covery, it was found that a
moon, somewhat larger than our
moon, was revolving around it.
This is called Triton. Last May,
over 100 years later, Dr. G. P.
Kuiper of McDonald observa
tory, telegraphed Harvard,
"Plates taken May 1 show ob
ject magnitude about 19 to 20
being 168 seconds west 112 sec
onds north of Neptune and hav
ing the same motion as planet.
Additional work scheduled to
determine whether object is a
new satellite."

was a moon about 200 miles in

diameter and with a period of
revolution around Neptune of
approximately two years. The
name Nereid has been suggested
for this object. In ancient myth
ology Neptune was the old god
of the sea and was attended by
the Nereids (sea nymphs) and
Tritons (sea demigods).
The fifth satellite of Uranus
has been named Miranda. The
other four are Arcil, Umbriel,
Oberon and Titania. All five
names are familiar to students
of Shakespeare and Pope.
Suicide Pad
Ends Triangle
New York, Oct. 25 MV-Two
women loved Joseph Fish, 36.
There was his wife, Jean, the
mother of his four children.
There was Caroline Kageler, 33,
a pretty brunette with whom he
went to live last May.
Police told this story:
Sunday night Caroline Kage
ler called Jean Fish and propos
ed a triangle love bargain: Jo
seph would return to his wife
provided Caroline Kageler could
see him once a week.
"No!" cried Jean Fish.
"All right," said Caroline Ka
geler, "if I can't have him and
you want him back, I'll send him
back to you in a box."
For 12 hours Jean Fish fran
tically tried to find where her
husband and Caroline Kageler
were living. Then police called
and told her.
Both were found dead on the
floor of a Queens apartment
yesterday. Four gas jets were
turned on. Fish was naked. Ca
roline Kageler wore a light blue
negligee. A suicide pact, the de
tectives said.

SOME GETTING 'IN THE CHIPS'
Eskimo Turns Plutocrat;
No Longer a 'Soft Touch'
By TOM McQUAID
Toronto, Oct. 26 U.PJ The Canadian Eskimo, once regarded as
a soft touch who would trade a
has turned plutocrat.
A. H. Gibson, magistrate of the
here, said today that some Eskimos have gone into business and
have become comparatively rich
men.
Gibson said one Eskimo, called
"Big Shot," died recently and
left an estate valued at $50,000.
Many others were known to
have as much as $12,000 in
government bonds.

This growing wealth has set
the government on a program to
educate the Eskimo in the use
of wills. Under the former sys
tem, when a man died his neigh
bors grabbed everything if the
family happened to be out spear
ing seals.
In the case of "Big Shot,'
a public administrator took over
after his death to make sure
there was a fair division of his
bonds, tents, boats, sleds, dogs
outboard motors and radios.
The Eskimos watched silently
while the inventory was made
thinking the government's idea
of settling an estate was to grab
it.
The Northwest Territories Ad
ministration, instead of "crack
ing down" on the Eskimo for
some of his age-old customs, like
leaving the feeble to die, is ap
proaching the problem construc
tively. Airborne health clinics
and X-ray "round-ups" span
thousands of Arctic miles and
aerial ambulances bring back
sick Eskimos to "outside" hospi
tals. Of the estimated 5,000 Eski
mos in Canada, only 23 are liv
ing outside the Northwest Ter
ritories, Gibson said.
The white man's gadget most
popular among them is the
radio. Many carry battery sets
on fishing and hunting expedi
tions, Gibson said. One far-
