Halt to dar on the great Trench astronomers cable letter in this mornings Herald Flammariona conclusions said Fro fessor Hall are snared generally by astronomer the world over lqtslu agree with him that ScnUptreUfa tneory Of double canals In Mars is not disproved simply because tbtj cannot be seen at the present time 1 tee that ffammanoa quotes Schleparelll at saying three years ago that the total absence of geminations must be expected during the present observations That shows how thoroughly the Italian scientist understands its subject Hare any other astronomers besides Bchlaparelll noticed these double canals la Mars I think not the professor replied They cettalnly have net been seen by any American astronomers 8chiaparelll however is an expert so far as Mars is concerned He has derated the better part of his observations for the last fifteen years to that planet He claims that the atmospheric conditions at Milan are eipeuajljr adapted for astronomical observations and ns puts tins forth as the reason why he has made discoveries there that have not been made else There I think he is mistaken so far as the superiority or Milan astronomically considered concerned for I regard this atmosphere as well ns the atmos phere of California as eqally good But ScniapareUt as 1 sayN has de voted much of his time to the study of Mars and it is not unreasonable that he should have made discoveries there that are not shared by astronomers elsewhere Are the telescopes in use likely to be improved upon or have we reached the utmost development in perfecting those instruments We labor at present under one serious difSculty The glasses now used In the best telescopes are crown and flint glass Ther are made in Fans The trouble is that the two glasses do not give a perfect

lately to decide the question ot the duplex character cf the supposed canals of Mars The difficulty is lufther increased by the planet low southern declination Nothing of the kind has ever been seen
