THE CAMBRIDGE OBSERVATORY.
THE Observatory of Harvard College is situated in North latitude, 42º. 22' 43"1.7. and West longitude 4° 44"! 301.7. The hill upon which it is built rises rather abruptly from the South to the height of eighty feet above the level of the sea. Eastward, the ground has a gradual descent to- wards the plain on which the academical buildings of the University are situated. The position is favorable for the purposes of an Astronomical Observatory, and commands an extensive view of the surrounding country. The grounds comprise about six and a quarter acres. The length of the principal Observatory Building is one hundred and seventy feet, this includes the dwelling-house of the Di- retor, on the eastern side.
The computer's room, which is the first in order, is en- tered from the dwelling house. It is eighteen feet square, and contains, an Electric recording apparatus, a Siderial Clock, a standard Barometer, Thermometers, Books, Charts, &c. The Clock and Barometer are attached to a stone pier which rests on a solid foundation of granite and is, like every other pier in the Observatory, completely in- sulated from the floor and other parts of the building. Ad- joining the central Tower, and between it and the com- puter's room is the apartment containing the 'Transit Circle, Normal Pendulum, and electric telegraph apparatus con- necting the Observatory with Boston, and distant stations through the wires extending to Craigie's bridge. Charles River is crossed by means of a submerged cable. A constant
226

communication is thus kept up with Boston, and the Ob- servatory tine made available for the regulation of time in the Metropolis. The time from the Observatory is com- municated free of charge.
The l'ransit circle was made by Messrs. Troughton & Simms of London. Its telescope has a focal length of five feet, the graduated circles are four feet in diameter, and are read off by eight reading microscopes affixed to the granite piers supporting the instrument. Two meridian marks, for adjusting the instrument in collimation and azinuth, are placed, the southern one in West Roxbury, and the northern in Medford.
The central building is appropriated to the great Tele- scope. It is thirty two feet square, the walls are of brick on a granite foundation, they are carried up square to the cov- ing on the outside, the interior is brought into a circular form, by having the corners arched and recessed in such a manner as to form a firm support to the Dome which is spherical and thirty-two feet in diameter; the arched re- cesses in the Dome room on the second story are appropri- ated in the following manner : the recess on the Northeast, holds the apparatus used occasionally with the large tele- scope, and affords space also for a Balanced Chair by which more ready access is had to the Dome from below-in the Northwest corner stands the Comet-seeker when not in use, together with a celestial globe, a writing table and other accommodations for an assistant. In the Southeast recess is the machinery for turning the dome ; and the main en- trance occupies the Southwest corner. The circular wall is completed by a layer of stone one foot in thickness, by eleven inches in depth, upon this is secured a series of cast- iron plates grooved in a circular form to correspond to the circumference of the dome, forming altogether a complete circle ; a similar iron track is laid and bolted on the lower section of the dome, and between these grooved tracks are placed eight truly turned iron balls, the halls are eight inches in diameter and upon them the dome rolls with great ease and steadiness. There is an opening in the dome, five feet wide, extending from the horizon to a few degrees beyond the zenith, this opening is provided with shutters moving on iron railways. There is a large chair of peculiar construction, in this apartinent, it is designed to accommodate the observer in the long sweeps which the telescope makes when directed to different quarters of the heavens. On the outside of the tower are iron balconies, these are occu- pied whenever an extensive examination of the heavens is made with the Comet-seeker.
The foundation of the great pier for the support of the Telescope, is twenty six feet below the natural surface of the ground. It is twenty-two feet in diameter at the base,

and ten feet, at the top; its form is the frustum of a cone, the pier rises to the height of fifty-five feet, including the granite pedestal to which the bed-plate of the Equatorial is secured. The Telescope itself is twenty-three feet in length and is provided with eighteen eye-pieces, ranging in power from 103 to 2004. This Telescope is not excelled by any in the world.
The West-transit room is 18 by 36 feet; it contains a four foot transit instrument mounted on granite piers, a varia- tion transit for magnetic observation, the Lloyd magneto- meters, and several portable telescopes, an electric-record- ing machine, books, and cases for manuscript observations.
A framed octagonal shaft rises thirty-six feet in height from the centre of the West-wing, upon this is mounted a five foot refracting Equatorial, covered by a dome twelve feet in diameter revolving on iron balls in a manner similar to the great dome, but is readily turned by hand without the aid of machinery.
North of the central tower is the prime vertical room with stone piers for the support of a prime vertical transit instrument, the West transit is occasionally placed on these piers. Sliding shutters on the roof and sides are provided for this as well as for the meridian instruments.
The South room is appropriated to the Library; this con- tains about twelve hundred volumes almost exclusively re- lating to astronomical subjects. In the Library is a portrait of Mr. Edward Bromfield Phillips, to whose thoughtful liberality the Observatory is indebted for its principal en- dowment.
