can best be accomplished by means of
rifle clubs.

Prof. Pickering', of the Harvard ob
servatory, is said to be projecting- a
combination of all the astronomical
observatories in the world, &o that
their combined capital or endowment!
can be used by all.
The aggregate working" capital is
close to 110,000,000 and there are enor
mous incomes. 1'rof. Pickering thinks
there is too much money wasted in
making observations, and too much
needless competition. His plan i to
distribute more equitably the work
ing funds and the staffs, ,a some sta
tions have too many men at work and
others too few.
Harvard would be etistodian of the
funds, including' Carnegie institute and
the National academj', distributing
them to the best advantage for the
science.
