SIMON NEWCOMB The Veteran Astronomer to Retire From the Navy Tomorrow. = ee HS = LONG SCIENTIFIC CAREER Se Work as Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac. HONORS CONFERRED ON HIM —— Prof. Simon Newcomb, who retires from the navy and the superintendency of the Nautical Almanac tomorrow, leaves a re- markable record of public service, through which he has become one of the foremost savants in the world. During the forty vears which have elapsed since he first be- came connected with the Nautical Alma- nac office, and especially during the twenty years of his superintendency, he has done more than any other American since Franklin to make Ame: learning re spected and accepted in European coun- tries. Today every astronomer in the world uses Newcomh's determinations of the movements of the planets and the moon; every eclipse is computed according to Newcomb’s tables; every nautical alma- nae is based on the determinations of the Washington office; and the shipping of the civilized world is guided cither by the American Nautical Almanac¢ or by ephem- erides based on Newcomb's work. His Long and Active Career. Simon Newcomb, born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, March 12, 1835, was the eldest son of a teacher of American descent, whose ancestors settled in Canada in 1761. He came to the United States in 1853, and spent two or three years Maryland. While so engaged acquainted with Joseph Henry, a teacher in he became then seer e- tary of the Smithsonian Institution, and Julius E, Hilgard, superintendent of th United States coast and geodetic sur who vy greatly impressed by his ay tude for mathematics, and in 1857 secu his appointment as a computer on the United States Nautical Almanac. The of- fice of the Nautical Almanac was then in Cambridge, which gave Newcomb oppo: tunity to ent the Lawrence Scientific School, from which he graduated in 1858, and afterward remained three graduate student. While in and occupied both as a compu student, he found time to plan and ex: one of the most ambitious pieces of nomie work undertaken up to that THis was the computation of the ort the asteroids—that singular group of min- iatur tween Mars and theory (known a that these bodie disrupted planet. planets revolving about the sun be- current Jupiter. The *s hypothe fragments of supposed, in a cordance with the hypothesis, that all of the orbits would interse a ceréain point, unless the assumed ion were so remote that secul nm have moditied the orbits one had at- tempted to calculate the orbits with s whether the d ion thousands or hundreds of thousands of years in the past. Neweomb's first caleu jati » made on four of the asteroids in 189, and attracted much attention when presented at the mevting of the American ssociation for the Advancement of Science posigions of the y as io det min dated hundred, at Sprin where exhibited a dia- gra showing the changes in the ort during a period of many thousand yea In 1s#) he published a general mathema feal theory of the subject, applying it to a larger number of these litle planet this publication at once gave th computer an international reputatic Transferred to This Ci young In 1861 Newcomb was appointed profe: sor of mathematics in the United Stat navy, and transferred to Washington; there he negotiated for the nch equa- torial telescope of the old naval ob: tory, srpervised its construction planned the tow: then famous instrument IST) he was commis eclip: nean, tar. and r and dome in which the s mounted. In joner to observe a total > of the sun visible on the Mediterra- and established a station at Gibral- Unfortunately the usual observations Were prevented by clouds, but the oppor- tunity was utilized in extending certain original studies concerning the minor mo- tions of the moon. Lunar tabies showing the recognized motions of the moon were alreaay in existence, notably those con- structed by Hansen and published by t British government in 1857; but even before 1870 it ‘as found that the observed posi- tions of our satellite did not correspond with the computed positions, as shown by error in the calculation of the eclipses and in other ways; the combined skill yet the problem defied of the mathematicians and astronomers of the world. With his genius for tasks deemed insurmountable by others, Newcomb had already set him- self to the solution of the problem, and while abroad he visited the various oid ob- servatories of Europe, and consulted the earliest_ records extant. Although most of the European countries were then elther in open warfare or resting on their guns, the American astronomer, whose reputation had preceded him, was’ welcomed eve! where. The records at Paris were especial- ly voluminous, requiring six weeks for ex- amination; and, although the city was be- sieged during most of this time, Prof. and Mrs. Necomb lived in the observatory, and the work was carried on in a room shaken by the cannonading, whife-the flash of guns was frequently visible from the windows. The task was not abandoned un- til the problem of the motion of the moon was solved, and until formulae were d veloped for constructing accurate lunar tables. This triumph gained fresh laurels for the young astronomer throughout the world, and brought him official recognition from different nations. Elements of the Solar System. Although the two tasks just noted were everywhere regarded by astronemers as of unprecedented magnitude, they were in reality but steps toward the accomplish- ment of a very greater task which New- comb had already set for himself; this herculean labor was the accurate deter- mination of the “elements of the solar system,” including the measurement of the dimensions, weights, and orbits of the principal planets, the larger asteroids, and the more important satellites, or planetary mcons. This work was carrled forward in conrection with official duty as oppor- tunity offered. So early as 1867 he pub- lished a final memoir on the secular va- riations of the orbits of the asteroids; this was followed in 1874 by results of inves- tigations concerning the orbit of the planet Uranus; the final researches of the mo- tions of the moon were published in 1876; and other-results of the work were placed before the public at frequent intervals in official reports, as well as in unofficial sci- entific papers. In 1877 he was made super- intendent of nautical almanac office, and given additional facilities for carrying for- ward the laborious task, which is now practically completed. The details of the work fill volumes, and are so complex and elaborate as hardly to be summarized. Mest of the busy people of the fin de siecle will be satisfied to know that all of the “elements” of the entire solar system are interrelated in such manner that the de- termination of any one—e.g., the revolu- ticn period or year—aids in establishing all the others; and that, proceeding on this basis, the sun and moon and larger asteroids and satellites have literally been weighed with a high degree of accuracy; tkat their bulk has been measured with greater relative accuracy than the aver- age bushel or gallon of commerce; and that the orbital paths through space have been surveyed with greater relative accuracy than city streets and blocks. The accuracy of the work may be inferred from the fact that eclipses are now predicted to the min- ute, even a century in advance, one of the chief elements of uncertainty being the imperfect determination of the latitude and longitude of the point of observation on the earth. The refinement of the measure- ments may be inferred also from the fact that the satellites of Mars were really de- tected by Newcomb’s computations before they were actually observed by Asaph Hall; and that the suspicion of the exist- ence of an intra-Mercurial planet, Vulcan, has been disproved by the calculations. All of the determinations are required in order that nautical almanacs may be com- puted} and now, through the labors of INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.

SS EX-SENATOR DOLPH DEAD. The Fi rmer Representative of Oregon Succumbs to Hiness, Ex-Senator Joseph N. Dolph died at Portland, Ore., yesterday. Monday his leg was amputated in the hepe of saving his life, which was threatened by blood poi- soning. The shock was too great, and at no time since the operation has there been a possibility of his recovery. Joseph N. Dolph was born in Watkins, N. Y., in 1835, and went to Oregon in 1862. He was appointed United States district at- torney for Oregon by President Lincoln. In 1882 he was elected United States sena- tor, and served two full terms. He re- ceived the caucus nomination for a third term at the session of the legislature two years ago, but was defeated after a dead- lock which lasted until the last day of the sessicn, when McBride was elected.
