An American woman astrono- mer’s wonderful scientific gift was disclosed in the course of a lecture on “Modern Astronomical Theories” by Prof. H. H. Turner at the Re- gent Street Polytechnic, according to the Daily Chronicle, London, England. She is Miss Annie J. Cannon, and can classify the distances of stars | in the spectrum almost at a glance, a feat that would otherwise require laborious measurement. She has classified about 700,000 of them in a great catalogue now being pub- lished. Her gift was, she said, compara- | ble to that of the man who, during the war, was discovered to possess the ability of being able to straight- | en rifle barrels with amazing rapid- | ity without any measurement save that of the eye. Miss Cannon is an American, and has been curator of astronomical photographs at Harvard university She has been a student of astronomy all her life, and has | indeed made a profession of it. The long list of her achievements in- | cludes the discovery of no fewer | than 160 variable stars.
