Abstract
THE brief paragraph in our issue of last week, announcing the death of Prof. Auwers, must have been read with the deep regret that follows the loss of one who long occupied a commanding positi n in the world of scienc., and whose place it will be difficult to fill. For more than fifty years he had illuminated the science of astronomy, and by providing much of the material by which it is hoped to attack successfully the problem of the structure of the sidereal universe, he linked together the astronomical thoughts and methods of the past with the philosophical problems that engross and captivate the attention of astronomers of to-day.
