He then consulted Bremiker's great star-chart, the part just engraved and finished, and, sure enough, no such star was there. Undoubtedly it was the planet. Adams heard it at Cambridge, and realized that in so far as there was competition in such a matter England was out of the race. It was an unconscious race to all concerned, however. The French scientists knew nothing of the search in England.
Its absence from Bremiker's recently-completed map of that region of the sky showed it to be no star, and its movement in the predicted direction confirmed without delay the strong persuasion of its planetary nature. In this remarkable manner the existence of the remote member of our system known as "Neptune" was ascertained.
Had a good star-map been at hand, the process would have been a simple one; but of Bremiker's "Hora XXI." no news had yet reached England, and there was no other sufficiently comprehensive to be available for an inquiry which, in the absence of such aid, promised to be both long and laborious. As the event proved, it might have been neither.
