Harverd College Observatory is st present engaged in mounting on Its grounds at Cambridge. may. e sixty- lnoh reflecting telescope recently pur- chased from the estate at Dr. A. A. Common, 0! England. whloh will not only be the largest instrument 0! its kind, but: the telescope o! greatest aperture in active use in. the world. For while the Yerkes Guervstory of the University of Ohmo, at .Wil: llama Bay, Lake Geneva, Wis., mo has a sixty-{nob mirror, for want of the requisite means it has not yet' been mounted nor its eflioieney prov- ed. ThetehsoopeotAAGomnon. on the other had, was successtully used by, himself thirteen yum ago. so that there is little doubt or its sub- sequent usetulness in Cambridge. Very soon after the purchase of this telescope by Harvard Observa- tory, last year. steps were taken for mounting it! in Cambridge. The site chosen is near. Garden-st., on the east- ern slope of the hill below the main building of the observatory, and hid- den by. this, from: the View of the oth- er buildings of the institution; here the first sod was turned September 28, 1904.

The task mounting the instrument. in itsell -‘A-‘b:nn is interested in mechanical engineer- ing. The mounting. at a great equa-l torial such as Dr. Common's telescOpc‘ is no simple task. In these modern days it has passed (rem the domain 0! the instrument maker to that o! the engineer. who finds abundant scope for: ingenuity and technical ex- pertness in combining very massive construction with very delicate mech- anism. for not only mush the ponder- ous iron tube that supports the mir- rors be so elevated and poised that there will be absolute freedom from tremor. but the mechanism which guides it must have the greatest ease and delicacy ot movement, combined with facility {or directing the inâ€" strument to any desired point in the heavens. The method of mounting the Com~ mon telescope at Cambridge is in snany respects the same as that used 320: it in Dr. Common’s observatory. in Ealing. Engiand, but the‘ manner at operating‘and controlling it here is entirely new. This instrument. instead on being supported by a pier as solid masonry or by an iron col- umn. as are many 01 the large teles‘ copes at various observatories, rests upon a cylindrical steel float eighteen inches in diameter. which is partly submerged in a. tank filled with wat- er. and-is so ballasted that its axis points towards «the celestial pole. A- i..- -_A- As H“ 5-- 'vv-___._ ._7 wu- 7 , - Delicate pivot: on the ends 0! the float serve to steady it in this posiâ€" tion. allowing it to turn freely on its axis, relieved of nearly its entire weight by the buoying effect of the water. At: the upper: end of the float; is as stout forkâ€"two steel projection-3 securely built into opposite sides 0! the floatâ€"in which swings the telesâ€" cope proper, a rectangular tabe or structure twenty-one feet six inches long and six feet gquqr‘e. and supports the mirror. The reâ€" mainder of the tube consists of a light framework: of angle iron cover- ed with canvas to secure the greatest lightness consistent with the necesâ€" sary rigidity. Small mirrors sup« ported a:b,di£ferent points along the axis 0! the tube serve to reflect the image formed by the great mirror up to the stationary eye-piece in the observingâ€"room. The attention of the visitor to the site of the new telescope is first at- tracted to the big tank, which is pro- tected by a high fence at matched boarding from the curious investiga- tion of any stray idler or small boy. cellarlike hole it is. with a'b'ottom that inclines upward at an angle of about ‘orty-five degrees.
