The New Star That Has Lit its Lampin. the Heavens—The Nebula of Andro- meda, and What an Astronomer Says About It. ‘The astronmers are now all busy watching and studying the new star in the nebula of An- dromda. Prof. Asaph Hall, of the Naval Ob- servatory, was found by a STAR reporter in- tently looking through the telescope at the new star, He invited the reporter to take a peep at the bright little speck in the blue vault of heaven which hasjcreated such a commotion among scientists on this mundane sphere. Through the telescope the star appeared to have attained full growth as compared with its neighbors. Descending from his seat of obser vation, Prof. Hall, in response to the reporter’s request for information with regard to the new star, sald: “The feat nebula in Andromeda is the oldest nebult own to astronomers since it is visible. to the naked eye, and was found before the in- vention of the telescope. Observations of this nebula go back tothe year 995. It is curious in connection with the discovery ot a bright star in this nebula that the old astronomers had a theory that it was variable both in brightness and in shape. ‘Since the invention and use of good telescopes it has been common among astronomers to ascribe the changes sus- pected formerly to imperiect. telescopen sud Ine accurate descriptions of this nebula, It is pos- sible, however, that the bright star discovered by Mr. Hartwig may be a variable one of regue lar period. Should this prove to be so the old astronomers may have been right in their sus- Dicions of variability of brightness in this nebu This nebula has been observed by mai tronomers, and several good drawin ve been made. It is very much extended, and generally faint, but with two or three bright condensed parts, It has an extension of abou two degrees, and probably it is this great exten- sion that renders such an object visible to the naked eye. It was described by Sir William Herschel in 1785 as follows: ‘It is undoubtedly the nearest of all the great nebule; its extent is about a degree and one-half in length, and, ineven one of the narrowest places, not less than sixteen minutes in breadth. The bright- est part of it approaches to the ivable nebu- losity, and begins to show a faint red color; which, from many observations on the color and magnitude of nebular, I believe to be an indication that ite distance in its colored parts does not exceed two thousand times the dis- tance of Sirfus.’ “Perbaps the best description Is by Sir John Herschel in 1826, who says: ‘At present it has not, indeed, a star or any well defined disk in its center, but the brightness, which increases by a regular gradation from the circumference, suddenly acquires a great accession, so as to offer the appearance of a nipple as it were in the middle, of very small diameter, but totally de- void of any distinct outline; so that It is impos- sible to say precisely where the nucleus ends and the nebala begins. Its nebulosity is of the most pertectly milky absolutely irresolva- ble kind, without the slightest tendency to that Soeion tuto floccull above described in the nebula of Orion, nor is there any sort of appear- ance of the sinallest star in the center of the nipple. ‘This nebula is oval, very bright, and of great itude, and altogether a most mag- hificent object.’ ‘There are many small stars scattered through this nebula, and it 1s_proba- ble that it is one of these small stars that has blazed out near what Herschel calls the ‘nipple’ of the nebula,” A VARIABLE STAR, Prof. Hall added when asked for his opinion astothestar,that though the scientists had pursued their Investigations diligently, they were still more or léss puzzled over tho new Visitor. In his opinion it ts what is called a variable star. explained that there certain stars which attain increased brilliancy and for a time shine torth from the agglomera- tion of almost indistinguishable stars surround- ing them; then they suddenly fade frow view and become once more a part of the nebulous cloud which gave them birth, fle had satisfied himself that this isastarof that character. rofessor Gr Parag the belief that thi: star Instead of being a new one, had existed for centuries, and has now been brought to view elther through its own revolutions in the heavens or else irony the laws which govern the variable stars. ‘Ho said its brilliancy had been exaggerated, and that only time and fur- ther observation and development can deter- mine definitely the origin and nature of the star, 2 as- A SurT AGAINsT Dz, HALE. —Mr. Charles H. pnt has, by his Shomer Dan.

Judge Chenoweth replied that as he had just returned he had not had time to make any investigation as tothe truth or falsity of these charges. He had no official knowledge of them what- ever, and while declining to commit himself at all, because of the fact that he had had no opportunity to look Into the matter, he did not seem inclined to credit the charges of misdeeds alleged to have been developed since the thorough investigation made by his com- mittee and under his direction. On one phase of the recent publications concerning the coast survey, Judge Chenoweth was very emphatic, and that was the published report that Acti Superintendent Thorn had allied himself wit! some of the old officials and had placed himself in antagonism to the reforms recommended and contemplated by the report of the Cheno” weth committee, of which he (Thorn) was a member. Auditor Chenoweth said he “dis- credited absolutely” any such charge against ‘Mr. Thorn. AN EMPHATIC DENIAL BY CAPT. BOUTELLE. A Stak reporter visited the coast survey bu- Teau for the purpose of interviewing Acting Su- perintendent Thorn with regard to the new charges against the past administration of the survey, published to-day, These charges, in brief, “were that Mr." Parsons, of | ‘the bureau, put in a ‘voucher for $150, ostensibly to cover the expenses of a trip to New York on business for the surve! hat, in fact, he went not to New York, but to Balti more to bury an aunt of his, and that he made the eovecoment pay. theentire funeralexpenses by turning in this fraudulent voucher. ‘The publication charges that Capt. Boutellet of the survey, ‘nt two summers at Sugar Loaf mountain, in Maryland, in grand style, all at the expense of the government; that he had tents erected and a Tuxurious camp, attended by numerous servants and “nurses,” all in the y of the government; that he entertained iends in magnificent ‘style, hiring teams and sedan chairs to convey ‘them about the country, all of which the government was made to Pe for under the pretense that rt, yatelle was working in the field with a surveying party. Also that after spending the summers of 1879 and 1880 at Sugar Loaf mountain, Capt.

He re- plied: “I have just left Secretary Manning, who gave me permission to make a@statement concerning these absurd ch: Tdid not feel at liberty to sj about the matter hefore seeing him. As I have his permission I will tell you that those charges are absurdly false and utterly reckless in their character. I never was at Sugar Loaf mountain but one summer, not two, as is stated. In the summer of 1879" I went there in pursuit of duty, and I only had such assistants as were actually necessary. I had no horses. I went there to conduct a series of experiments in in- tensified lights for geodetic weapon} at night, and the result of that season spent in experi- menting has already saved the survey several times the cost of the entire season's work. I spent four seasons in New York connecting the survey of the coast with the survey of the lakes, and it was a very imporiant object. The government had been making surveys of the lakes from 1845, and of the coast from 1842. It was important to connect the two that each might verify the other, and poet did, It is charged that there are no re- cords of that work and of the work at Sugar Loaf mountain on file. On the contrary, the records, complete and in detail, of the work and of the expenditures are on file in this office.

They coniain a complete and thorough’ report of all the observations taken and the work done, Now as to the expenditures—and all the vouchers, ete., are on file here—for these four years the expenses were of the ordinary and usual character,and the aggregate came within the limit fixed by the superintendent for the work. The expenditures will compare favor- ably in amount with those of similar work done anywhere by the bureau. Everything relating to the outlay is recorded here open to Inspection,” ‘MR.
