A cablegram from St. Gobain, Prance, h;is brought the gratifying news thai the glass disk for the 100-inch Hooker Reflector, has been successfully cast. It will starl upon its Long journey so soon ;is it can be securely packed in its iron case, and upon its arrival in Pasadena. Professor Ritchey will immediately commence its grinding, polishing and figuring with the new machinery by him devised. This labor, and the construction of .the new housing and mounting upon Mount Wilson, will require about three years, and an expenditure of half a million dollars, hut we can await patiently the comple- tion of an undertaking nowhere paralleled on our globe, and such as the most vivid imagination of mankind has never itofore conceived. The large amount of matter in this number of the Bulletin has expanded its size so far beyond the usual dimensions that the record of the Transactions of the Academy is necessarily omitted. It will be included in the Bulletin for Jul v. tn&O^d^dzv Go ya {^JU^^,. 9.
