...mechanical method, recently devised by a member of the department. Twelve plates are placed at one time in a brass frame, which is kept in vertical motion by the action of a large pendulum. As the object is to get the faintest details, rather than the artistic effect of lights and shadows all plates are treated as if under exposed. In this way twenty-four plates may be developed simultaneously without requiring any constant attention. Previously this same work required the attention of several men, during a long period of time. After the plates are developed they are labelled, dated...
...placed in different parts of the grounds, but each is controlled by a central electrical station. By the use of a switch board one man can operate from this station as many of the instruments as he may desire. In order that the motion of the earth may not effect the relative position of the photographic telescope and the object, the instrument is moved on an axis parallel to the earth and regulated by clock work in such a way that the distance the earth moves to the East is neutralized by the motion of the telescope in the opposite...

That a clique...
...evident in nearly all of the poems. Especially do the shorter verses catch and hold this quality, happily phrased and musical as they often are. At times, however, there is too much of the observer and not enough of the poet in evidence, since the verses rely for their effect rather on delicacy of conception than on depth of purpose...
