Gold Medal to an Astronomer.
On the 12th ult., the gold medal of the Royal Astronomical Society was bestowed" on an American Astronomer, Professor George E. Hale, the Director of the Yerkes Observatory, an appendage to the Univer sity
some-
of Chicago. The Observatory, thanks to the liberality of Mr Yerkes, the well-known^ financier, possesses the largest refracting telescope in the world, its object glass- measuring 40 inches in diameter, and with this instrument the Director has done i very successful Solar spectroscopic work... A spectroscope, it is well known, is an arrangement of prisms which resuives light into its constituent colours, and by its aid any particular substance or gas from which light emanates, can be identified by the presence of particular shades of colour, or absence of the same. I'rofessor Hale has devised a
means of photographing the whole of the sun's disc by the light of any particular shade, so that, for example, he can take
a photograph of the calcium that in the sun's outer envelope, and of that calcium only. Similarly, he can get a photograph of the hydrogen vapour, or ef the calcium at a lower level, because it is at TR B. RUTTONJEE begh respectfully different pressure, and, therefore, emits

Bays:-
"The Russian Government's Communique
justifies the worst surmises. It states dis.
tinctly that everything was neglected, and
GROSSMANN & Co.
has to be made good. But what is the KELLY & WALSH,
chief duty of War Departments if not to make all preparations for war, as far as that is possible in peace time? This constitutes the sum and substance of the Military work carried on for years and decades, a work which absorbs the strength of hundreds of thousands; and if not for that purpose, the Army Administration exists for none other. It is true that history records mazy cises in which this principal rule has been violated, and the present only adds to the number. This, however, merely shows that men do not learn from history what they should. It makes no difference whe. ther the confession of unreadiness implies that too few troops are concentrated in the Far Fast, or whether no provision was made for their support. Most likely both things have happened.
Meanwhile, the Japanese are as ready op land as they have proved to be at ren; and they let neither their adversary nor the world at large doubt that they will continue as they began--that is, with
the utmost energy and judicious daring. The moral aspect of the contrast fail to have an effect upon all future operationsa.'
Having thus read a lesson to those who are responsible for Russian unreadiness, the Formdenblatt undertakes to construct a sort of plan for Ruskin, on the basis of the still unconfirmed report that Admiral Alexieff's Headquarters will be transferred

offensive.

- But at what cost are these advantages obtained Port Arthur and Vladivostok must be left to shift for themselves as best they can. Most probably they will have to be abandoned to the onomy. The great moral effect of initial success, so valuable in war. must be left to the enemy; and, if he is quick and energetic enough, he may despoil the Russians even of the theoretical advantages of a shorter distance from the home base, and of a quiet time for prepara- tion. It is certain, however, that a vast amount of moral courage is needed to decide on such a concentration to the rear; and the worst is that it seems inevitable. To forecast the final issue would, however, he premature; certainly, in the case of Russia, which once before, began a war under most unfavourable conditions, and, in the end, aucceeded by the sheer weight of her mas siveness, that fs by her inexhaustible re- anurces in fighting men.
