In adidtion to presiding over the meeting Dr. Aitken spoke briefly on his association with Dr. Barnard at the Lick Obervatory, explaining that hie more formal adress would come at the night meeting. Dr. Alken spoke of Barnard's coming to the observatory as Junior observer, without the privilege of using the great 36 inch telescope, but said that when he left in 1895 it was said that he had found a comet with each scope in the observatory.

Dr. Altken's description of comet work showed it to be an undertaking which requires the greatest pa: tience as well as complete accuracy. "In searching for comets," he said, must have an intimate knowledge of the aspects of the heavens. He must be able discriminate flashes of light, that might be comets or might be Dr. Altken also told dramatically the story of the fifth satellite of Jupiter, when "all the scientifie world was electrified by news that the firth satellite had been added to the four of Gallleo."

was not charted, and suspecting the nature of the light, Dr. Barnard made dally observations to 866 If It might be cireling He wrote, them letters what to he certain suspected triends tell- and one Monday morning, the great discovery was made known to the world. Lovable Character Dr. Altken also spoke of Barnard's lovable character, saying that his home was the mecca of everyone at the observatory, and that all the men loved him for his gentie nature and ever genial disposition. In extending welcome to the men and women Judge Robert Ewing, head of Watkins Institute said: "Despite what hostile critics may have said about us, I want you gentlemen to know that educationally Tennessee la rapidly assuming her proper rank among her sister states, and making practical use of all of your discoveries, and constantly calling, science to her aid in the better utilization of the natural wealth with which our Creator has endowed her.

Be assured that all classes are more than willing to have you in your investigations follow truth wherever it may lead you, confident, however, that your every movement and discovery will but tend the more to convince you that there Divinity which shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we We cordially welcome you." Following welcoming address, letter was read by Dr. J. T. McGill, secretary of the Tennessee Academy of Science, from Alfred E. Howell.

resident of Nashville during the years when Dr. Barnard was connected with Vanderbilt. Mr Howell was well acquainted with Dr. Barnard and an insight into the endeavor of the young astronomer can be had from a part of the letter. "I knew him well." the letter read "he was member of my aunt's (Mrs.

Fanny D. Nelson's) Sunday School class. Many the time I have noted his hollow eyes and faded cheeks and wist not that he was to be world famous from his vigils of the night after an all day's work at Poole's photograph gallery, his hands still stained with the chemicals." Following this a paper prepared by J. W. Braid, with which Dr.

Barnard was associated in his work at the Van Stavoren gallery, where it was Barnard's difficult task to keep a camera focused constantly on the sun, was read by P. R. Calvert. In this paper and in a later talk by Mr. Calvert, the privation, sincerity, and dauntlessness which characterized Barnard's life, were emphasized.

The story of hie first telescope, an improvised atfair of cardboard, with small magnifying lense in one end, and of the 2 and 1-4 inch telescope which followed, were told. "Mr. Braid has told you of his first telescope." said Mr. Calvert In part." instead of satisfying, it made him more eager for a larger Instrument. We had heard of telescope owned by the Acklen famIly at Belmont.

Barnard, who had not been in school more than two months in his life, urged me to write and inquire concerning it. He felt that he could not write decent letter. The result of the inquiry was that the instrument was sent to him by express with the privilege of examining it, but it proved to be lacking when tested and he returned it paying age both ways. "In return for writing this letter had exacted promise that he would go with me to Sunday school. Then he met Mrs.

Fanny Nelson, refined and cultured lady. beautifmi character who became one of his best friends. "About this time the A. A. 8.

met in Nashville and Mr. Nelson who met and knew every man of Importance in Nashville, took. hard up to the capitol where the senions of the association were introduced him to Prof. Newcomy, who was that year president of the association. Professor Newconfb heard his story, then told him rather brusquely that he should put away his telescopes and study mathematics.

Barnard was much depressed at the unsympathetio words of the great man and after the as he confessed to Mr. Braid, he got behind one of the big columns and had good cry." In commenting on this same perience, Dr. Fox, commenting on the fact that the interview led Barnard to study mathematics at derbilt, said that out of the first meeting of the A. A. A.

S. in Nashville had probably come the beginning of Barnard the scientist. "I hope that this meeting may bring some good comparative to that great accomplishment." he added. An article written in 1900 on Dr. Barnard by Mrs.

Janie MeTyeire Baskerville, was read by Dr. Gill, and in the article were summed up many of the traits which made the man so dear to his associates. "Charming simplicity of his character, unselfishness modesty, genial nature, deep sensibilIty of nature, easily touched by sad or pathetic story" are but some of the glimpses of what all of his associates praised. as wonderful character. The final talk of the afternoon was made by Miss Mary Ross Calvert, niece of Mrs.

Barnard, who was De. Barnard's secretary for 20. years. Miss Calvert told some of the experiences through which she saw Dr. Barnard pass, and emphasized the constancy with which he faced life.

As an example of the unceasing effort which he put Into his work, she cited the volume of photographs of the Milky Way. In this work, she stated. Dr. Barnard decided to use photographic prints in every copy of the book. As there were 700 copies printed and 50 pictures in each one, Dr.

Barnard went over 35,000 prints to make sure that there were no faulty ones. An a striking citation of him char. peter. Dr. D.

The beam of electrons impinged on nickel crystal, and some of them absorbed in it, while others were scattered back from the surface. Of those that are scattered back some come back without ing lost any speed--they have elastie encounters with the crystal like the impact of a billiard ball on cushion. A little collecting device ranged so that it would be to various positions in front of crystal to find how many electrons were scattered in the various direetions without loss of speed.

With this arrangement the numbers of electrons scattered in different directions was found to depend on the direction in the same way as does the scattering of X-rays by a tal. "The situation confronting physicists with regard to electrons is now something like the delemma confronting the theory of light," the speaker deared. "For many years all the facts concerning light could be explained by assuming it to be simply a wave motion. Then the quantum theory, in the hands of Planck, Einstein and A. H.
