...switch board one man can operate from this station as many of the instruments as he may desire. In order that the motion of the earth may not effect the relative position of the photographic telescope and the object, the instrument is moved on an axis parallel to the earth and regulated by clock work in such a way that the distance the earth moves to the East is neutralized by the motion of the telescope in the opposite direction. By the eight inch Draper telescope the entire sky is photographed several times a year; the Cook lens takes...
Both of the skating rinks on Soldiers Field are now practically finished, and can be made ready for use at a day's notice.

After some work of this sort the linemen were given some hard defensive practice, while the backs were put through the plays. The first...
