The publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific contain notices from the Lick Observatory, which are brief accounts of the scientific work of the institution, prepared by the astronomers. Especial pains are taken to put these accounts into a simple and popular form. The history of the Observatory can be followed from month to month in these publications. |

EXHIBITS AT THE MIDWINTER FAIR. |
|
With the aid of an appropriation from the Santa Clara County Board of World's Fair Commissioners an exhibit of transparencies and photographic prints was prepared for exhibition at Chicago in the Santa Clara County space of the California building. At the Midwinter Fair this exhibit was displayed in the Santa Clara County building. |
|
The Regents of the University directed that the Observatory prepare a second exhibit to be displayed at the Midwinter Fair in the space allotted to the University of California, since the Observatory is one of the departments of the State University. This second exhibit is somewhat fuller than the exhibit at Chicago, as many new negatives have been obtained since June, 1892, when the first exhibit was completed. The chief features of both these exhibits are framed glass transparencies of astronomical and other negatives made by the astronomers of the Observatory, and also enlargements from these negatives made either at Mount Hamilton, or by foreign astronomers and experts. |
