Scientific paper

My attention has been called to a paragraph in NATURE (vol. xxxii. p. 514), which, quoting from Science, speaks of ``the Astronomical Observatory of Beloit College as closed for lack of funds.'' It is not strange that you express surprise at this announcement. Permit me to say that it is positively untrue. So far as I can learn, the only authority for it is a strange and entirely unwarranted statement from our late Director. Mr. Tatlock's connection with our Observatory closed on July 1 last. Within one week of that date Mr. Charles A. Bacon was appointed his successor, and a few weeks later he appeared and took charge. He has already proved himself competent, both as an observer and as an instructor. New arrangements are made for both meteorological and astronomical observations, and special attention will be given to solar and spectroscopic work. Though not richly endowed, our ``Smith Observatory'' is well equipped, and under its present direction its facilities will be made helpful to both the advancement and the diffusion of science.
