ADVANCEMENT OF ASTRONOMY
It is claimed that astronomical aslence, has made greater progress during the past two years. than it has made during any previous ten years on record. The next two years promise to be more marvellous in results Elida over. This will be accomplished largely by the great telescope in the Lick Observatory, which is now in use. Alrenty many extraordinary stellar discoveries have been made with it.
The capacity of the gross telescope is, a local astronomer aras, far in eroes of the ex- pectations of many of the most sanguine obist vere. Illustrative of its great power, it is allegad that the comet which recently atracted a great deal of attention, bat which passed out of the range of other large telescopos several wenkts ago, is still within easy range of the Lick this cope. The latar ephemeris of this comet thus ob tained, has accurately determined its orbit which isootirely different from that previously given it.
