THE GREAT PARIS TELESCOPE.
Largest in the World, but of No Use
to Science.

Saturday Review: What is the great
Paris telescope doing?" is a question
that must soon be answered il the in
strument is to justify its existence. It's
promoters had in view higher pur-
pose than to provide gazing stock for
the visitor to the exhibition. Thty
were, without doubt, genuinely anxious
that their enterprise should add to the
equipment OF science an instrument of
extreme value And yet there 1--we
been no indications of any attempt to
use the telescope seriously for serious
astronomical work. 1t has produced
some photographs of the moon, which
wer published not long ago in mag
azine, and they are probably the worst
examples of lunar photography that
have ever seen the light. immeasure-
ably inferior to De la Rue's great pho
toglaph made forty years ago, and not
to be compared with the work which
dozens of smaller instruments could
produce today. Yet in all seriousness
NJ. Delconle br.ngs them forward as
examples of tie work of his instru-
ment, and speaks of the poor things
as epoch marking photographs
In truth, when NJ Delconle proposed
to build for himself a telescope of SO
inches aperture, 10 inches larger than
the largest existing refractor, he seems
to have had vastly exaggerated no
ton of the extra gathering power
which that increase would give him.
1t was not long before the more glazing
fallacies in his scheme were pointed
out, but such warnings were swept aside
in the wave of newspaper enthusiasm
which the catchwor1 generated. The
prospect of La lune a un metre" fired
the imagination, and a syndicate was
promoted to find the money and build
the telescope.
Who was it that planned the instru-
ment in the form in which it was con-
structed does not appear. 1t is fixed,
horizontal telescope, fed with light by
a helostat mirror and it is important
to note that in the opinion OF great
builder of telescopes. this will be of
the form of the large telescopes of the
future.
The first very large instrument fash
toned in this manner is built, end
stands waiting to be tried 1t can GER
tainly never realize the exaggerated

in a suitable climate and properly
handled be of immense value. 1t would
be a matter of the highest interest to
test it seriously against the best work
of other instruments. But It's builders
seem TO have no conception OF any
standard of excellence. Within a
stones throw of the observatory which
is publishing lunar atlas of marvel
GUS perfection they produce a few gro
tesquely inferior results, and shout
II have won the day
So long as the new telescope is run
on these lines it will be doing no good
at all, and will have wasted vast
amount of money and skilled labor to
no better purpose than to provide a
e-minutes wonder for the news
papers. NJ Delconle and his syndicate
aspired to render a great service to
science.
The greater is the pity that they
should seem so little to recognize the
true tests OF scientific progress that
they are content to starte with journ-
alistic flutter and achieve magazines
celebrity.
