The satisfactory nature of its performance is vouched for by the observations made with it upon Jupiter's new satellite in December, 1892. This instrument, to which a Newtonian form has been given, had no rival in respect of light-concentration at the time when it was built. It has now two the Paris 50-inch refractor and the Yerkes 5-foot reflector.
Under his domination, the Chicago aldermen attained a gravity that made them notorious all over the world. They openly sold Yerkes the use of the streets for cash and constantly blocked the efforts which an infuriated populace made for reform.
'You take care of the Grand Duchess, Yerkes, they says to me at Montreal; for they know there isn't anybody on the line they can trust with a lady as they can me. Of course, I couldn't help her faintin' at the high bridges, going up Rogers Pass; that wasn't none of my fault!" "Faint at bridges!" said Elizabeth with scorn. "I never heard of anybody doing such a thing, Yerkes."
It will be seen that there is a good deal of a man in Yerkes much more, in fact than is to be found in any one of his newspaper publishing traducers; but even his fondest intimates have never denied that he is a rascal. There are women high in the society of Chicago who know more about the services of unscrupulous midwives than they would care to tell.
But the younger Clark readily agreed to make the Geneva lens, under the order of Yerkes, and to produce a perfect objective forty inches in diameter! This important work, so critical almost impossible has been successfully accomplished.
Charles T. Yerkes, one of his partners in politics and street railway enterprises, had been less fortunate, for he had served seven months for assisting in the embezzlement of Philadelphia funds in 1873.
"Then why the deuce " But he said aloud in some confusion, "I suppose that sounded disgusting" then floundering deeper "but you see well, I'm very fond of Elizabeth!" Anderson rose and walked to the window which commanded a view of the railway line. "I see the car outside. I'll go and have a few words with Yerkes."
The party sat down on the grass beside the bright, rippling water, and Yerkes brought them coffee. While they were taking it, the two engine-drivers descended from the cab of the engine and began to gather a few flowers and twigs from spring bushes that grew near. They put them together and offered them to Lady Merton. She, going to speak to them, found that they were English and North Country.
Then Collins and Yerkes trailed about after Ned as he wandered around the airship. The boy saw the former remove certain bits of wood which blocked the wheels of the Vixen, also he saw Yerkes, testing the gasoline gauge and looking the carburetor over carefully. "It is all right," the boy thought.
The Yerkes Observatory is also beginning work in the same line, where Professor Frost is already rivalling the Lick Observatory in the precision of his measures. Let us now go back to our own little colony and see what is being done to advance our knowledge of the solar system. This consists of planets, on one of which we dwell, moons revolving around them, comets, and meteoric bodies.
