June 19, 1891.] adequate for sustaining the Society in efficient working order, it is apparent that there are two ways of working it. The Local Branch to be Dependent.— One of these is for the local branch to look for its working expenses to grants from the general fund, the amount of such grants to be determined and controlled by the governing body upon the representation of the needs of the particular district. With this plan there would be an equal subscription combined with a most unequal distribution of the funds, one district, as a matter of course, drawing more than another. Or Self-Supporting.—The other plan, which would have many local advantages, is that each branch of the Society should be self-supporting. It should have the management and control of its own affairs, subject only to the rules of the Society, and its members, whilst paying a nominal subscrip tion for membership to the Society, should regulate their own expenditure by means of a committee appointed from their number, the necessary and special expenditure to be incurred being met by subscription or funds raised in such ways as may be judged fit and proper. Thus, in an exceedingly poor and populous district, where the need for lantern work would be very great, it would be open for the local committee to fix a charge for admission to entertainments, which would cover the cost of production in each case. The point in question, there fore, is whether the local branch should be self-governed and self-supporting, or, on the other hand, controlled and governed by a central committee of management at headquarters. Qualification for Membership as Lanternist.—The qualifica tions for membership are twofold. It is a sine qud non that a person seeking to enrol himself as alanternist shouldpossess a lan tern, or access to one. Experience, of course, is also necessary, and its amount would be duly registered. All lanternist mem bers, irrespective of the apparatus they possess, would enjoy equal privileges as members of the Society, but it would follow as a matter of course that the service which a member might be expected to render in his district would be largely deter mined by the nature and quality of his apparatus. , As Lecturer.—The second qualification for membership is the ability to lecture or talk upon certain subjects. In this class of membership, likewise, some experience is necessary, so that the lecturer may be presumed to be familiar with his subject. He may, of course, take several subjects, or may confine him self to one. Anyway, the subjects he specially favours would be registered. It will be seen that a close and harmonious relationship is necessary between the lecturer and the lanternist in working the district placed under their charge, but it is quite open for a member to enrol himself as a lanternist and lecturer in one, if he prefers to do so. ■ Associate Members.—It is hardly necessary to point out in how many different ways the objects of the mission may be furthered other than by possessing a lantern or the ability for speaking or lecturing. They will readily suggest themselves to the minds of those who are in full accord with the plan sketched out in the initiatory article, which I published in the December number of the Hevicw of Reviews. It would doubtless be pos sible to arrange for the inclusion of such proffers of service otherwise than by full membership, but for the latter it is necessary that the qualifications should be distinctly stated. Lantern Endowments.—It may be hoped, if the Society is successfully started, that a fund may come to be provided whereout lanterns and apparatus may be purchased and pre sented as a free gift to those districts most in need of them. In the meantime, it would be the duty of each lanternist mem ber to do all in his power to secure that his district should be adequately supplied with a lantern outfit. . Definition of Districts.—Regarding the district, the working of which would be entrusted to one or more resident members of the Society, its definition should, I think, be based upon the unit of population. Thus, I would suggest that for every 10,000 population the Society should reckon upon one com petent lanternist member, and one equally qualified talker or lecturer, who would be prepared to devote at least one evening per week to the purposes of the mission. The precise defini tion of such districts is a matter that might well be left to the consideration and convenience of the local committees, Special Features of the Society.—The special features which should pertain to the central committee of management are essentially these :— (a) That there should be a classified list of all the slide sets issued for sale or hire, with the lowest prices at which they can be procured for mission work. (b) That there should be a directory of all competent slide makers, with the terms at which they will work, and particulars of their productions. (c) That there should be a directory of all lantern makers and appliances, with the prices at which their pro ductions can be bought or hired. (d) That there should be a list of all professional lanternists and lecturers throughout the United Kingdom, with statement of their terms, and particulars as to the nature and subject of their entertainments. (e) That there should be published monthly an official organ of the Society, which shall contain an account of the progress of the Society, together with reports fur nished from time to time by the local committees to the central committee of management. Those in sympathy with the idea of the Mission, and who desire to help in carrying out its aims and objects, are requested to fill in and return to Mr. Stead, at Mowbray House, Temple, W.C., on a form of enrolment, particulars of the service they are prepared to render, adding thereto any suggestions which may strike them as being likely to further the object in view. ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREENWICH. We are favoured with a copy of the report of the Astronomer- Royal to the Board of Visitors, read at the annual visitation of the Royal Observatory, June 6th. The report refers to the year from May 11th, 1890, to May 10th, 1891, and exhibits the state of the Observatory on the last-named day ; and from it we present extracts that are of more especial photographic interest. Under the head of “Buildings and Grounds, Movable Pro perty, and Library,” are included a computing room for the new astro-photographic branch ; fireproof rooms for the photo graphic records and books of calculations in these two branches ; a library for the physical branch (magnetical and meteorological, spectroscopic and photographic) ; and a laboratory and dark galleries for spectroscopy and photography. Among the princi pal movable instruments are mentioned photo-heliographs (at Greenwich):—One complete (No. 4, mounted in the South Ground), two tubes (E2, A5, with object glasses), and a driving clock (used for the personal equation instrument), and a complete mounting, with driving clock (No. 3), used last in the Cape Ledo Eclipse Expedition. Photo-heliographs on loan -.—One complete at the Cape Observatory, one complete and the mounting of another (without driving clock), lent to the Science and Art Department. A photographic telescope, with 9-inch object glass, by Grubb, and a prism of 9 inches diameter, by Hilger, have been gene rously presented to the Royal Observatory by Sir Henry Thompson. The telescope has been mounted on the Lassell telescope as a photo-heliograph, to give 8-inch pictures of the sun, a camera with Dallmeyer doublet (from photo-heliograph No. 4) and an exposing shutter, specially designed to give very short exposures, being attached to it. In view of the advantage resulting from the use of electric lighting for the photographic equatorial and for other instru ments, it is very desirable that an electric light installation should be provided for the Observatory, so that this method of lighting, which is specially adapted to the requirements of an observatory, may be applied to the instruments generally. The system now in use of charging storage cells from primary batteries is necessarily extravagant, and it does not admit of the desired extension. Under the head of “Astronomical Observations,” we learn that the photographic equatorial has been brought into working I order after some delay, occasioned by the necessity for workin
