...that of John Harwood. He was the green grocer last year in "Getting Married," and the shift from Shavianism to Shubertism did not curb his artfulness. If the librettist, Cosmo Hamilton, will work as hard at revision as Harwood did at the premiere, "The Star Gazer" may discover an orbit for itself on Broadway...
...nonce free lances, privileged to wander where they please. They have completed their academic work; ergo that lies behind them. They have not been admitted to Plattsburg; ergo that lies before them. In the meantime they are unleashed comets in the orderly procession of stars, confined to no monotonous orbit, but lawless in the seven heavens...
...most interesting and important of these observations was held last night, when the planet reached the same point in its loopshaped orbit at which it was previously observed by Professor Wendell. The atmosphere was fairly clear and several views were taken, but their value is not yet assured. By a comparison of the two sets of photographs, however, obtained under similar conditions is hoped that the path, size and distance of the planet from the earth may be much more accurately determined than would have otherwise been possible. The collection of astronomical pictures from which to determine this final data...
...meteors were counted, of which forty-three were Leonids, that is, had a path radiating from Leo. A watch was kept last night and will probably be kept tonight for the fourth and last time. However, it is hardly expected that there will be a shower, as the orbit of the Leonids is too far from the earth--about one and three quarters million miles. Moreover, the number of Leonids seen has decreased since 1898; less were counted last year than then, and less this year than last...
...stars of the eighth magnitude will appear. The existence of a small intermercurial planet is possible and it will probably appear on the plates if it exists. If other astronomers can be induced to make similar observation sin Spain or Algiers, it will be possible to compute the approximate orbit and the distance of the body from...
