DYSPEPSIA Defeated?

Washington Post: The long and
bitter fight between the advocates and
opponents of vegetarianism is being
fought out to q scientific showdown in
the laboratories of Yale university,
and preliminary reports indicate a re-
markable anu possibly revolutionary,
advance in the science of dietetics AS
result of somewhat startling expert
ments, Professor Chittenden announces
that there is "no- limit to our power of
producing organic substances by pure
ly chemical synthesis.'' He has dis
covered the secret of separating the
tissle-building proteins of both flesh
and vegetables, and by artificial chem
ical means reproducing the various
processes. of the stomach and assimi-
lative organs.
With such a perfect tool of investi-
CATION, the mysteries of dietetics
should soon be numbered with the
problems solved. Not only will the
conflicting pletensions of the .vegeta
rians and the flesh eaters be weighed
in this new scientific balance, but q
host of dietetic fads and fancies, from
the gospel Of buttermilk to the evan
gel of raw beef and cereals, will. By
this new method, be put to the test Of
exactness and it is a safe bet that {
vast quantity of advertising matter

FLOATING TELESCOPE.
Harvard instrument That May Re-
veal Stars of Eighteenth Magnitude.

A telescope that floats in a tank of
water instead of being mounted ON Il
solid pier was recently installed at the
Harvard observatory. The instrument
is of the rejecting type and is the lar
gest of its kind in the world, the OBJ
ject mirror being five feet across.
The instrument proper is mounted on
Il water tight cylindrical steel float.
which is buoyed up by water in a con-
crete tank only slightly larger than
the cylinder and shaped to fit it. The
cylinder is inclined and serves as the
polar axis of the telescope.
1t does not float freely in the tank,
but has delicate pivot at each end to
hold and guide it. The water. how
ever. bears all the weight, so that none
of it rests on the pivots All move
ments of the telescope are regulated
by electric motors. The great glass
mirror is so arranged that it can easily
grows dim, although its weight Is
about two tons.
The whole instrument is mounted in
the open air, but the image is reflected
to an eyepiece in an adjoining build
ing, where the observer sits. The tele
scope is expected to reveal stars Of the
seventeenth or eighteenth magnitude
possibly even fainter ones, and worl;
