...year 52 B. C. an embassy was sent from Ceylon to Rome. The embassy was intercepted in Lydia and it is therefore conjectured that the fables were spread in Asia Minor and from there into India. The embassy later proceeded to Rome and spread the fables there also. Proof of this exists in the parallelism between the various authors of fables who wrote at this time. A connection between the 7 Talmudic and Buddhist fables may be traced to this same embassy...
...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, catalogued, and after a second inspection, they are finally stored in the fire-proof photographic library. During the last year 12,000 pictures were taken in this way, and the library now contains nearly 100,000 phot graphs, many of which contain impressions of nearly 500,000 different stars. These pictures furnish a complete map of the sky for the past ten years...
...Register, in outward appearance the same as in the past, is put on sale today. It is unfortunate that a really use full book should this year be chiefly remarkable for the large number of absurd mistakes in the spelling of names and in the use of initials.

...Arequipa station in Peru amounts only to $134,000, as compared with a corresponding value of $500,000 on the equipment at the Lick and Yerkes observatories more recently established in California. In addition to this handicap in financial matters, the department is much in need of a fire-proof Library building for the safe keeping of the valuable astronomical library. There are also buildings at the Cambridge and Blue Hill stations in need of immediate repair...
...long and twenty six feet wide, rectangular in shape and with rounded corners. The sliding seats are to be placed in a rectangular boat, similar in general construction to an ordinary eight, which will be supported from the bottom of the tank by metal braces, skeleton underwork and water proof compartments, through which the returning current of water will pass. On either side of the boat will be a wooden platform four feet in breadth which will serve as a support for men getting in and out of the boat, and upon which the outriggers will be attached. The water...
