A measurer Of Starlight.
Delicate Instrument Devised to Accom-
piish this Work.

Prof Joe Stebbins and Prof F. c.
Brown have recently constructed a
small selenium cell. which when
placed in the focus Of a 12inch re-
fracting telescope. causes measurable
defections OF the needle OF ealvano-
meter in response TO the impact OF
liEht-waves from individual stars. The
planet Mars gave a detection of nine
millimeters. the star Aldebaran de-
Election OF 34 millimeters. and even
a fourth magnitude star. Gamma
Arietis. caused n visible detection.
1t is hoped that by the use Of spe-
eially sensitive galvanometer this
method may be greatly improved. and
that if certain disturbing influences,
particularly temperature changes. can
be eliminated. accurate measurements
Of starlight by means of selenium
cells will become possible.

ADVERTISING.
tn Miahtisst Factor In ths Modern
Business Wsrid.

Tn Mishtisst Factor In the Modern
Businsss World.
advertising is today the mightiest
factor in the business world" writes
Truman A. De Weese In System, the
Magazine of Business. 1T Is an evo-
luton of modern industrial competi-
ton. It is a business builder, with a
potency that goes beyond human de-
sire. It is something more than a
drummer knocking at the door OF the
consumer, something more than mere
salesmanship on paper.
advertising is q positive creative
force in business. 1t builds factories,
skyscrapers and railroads. It makes
two blades Of grass grow in the busi-
ness world where only one grew be-
fore. 1t multiplies human wants and
intensifes desires. The result Is that
it forces man to greater consumption,
hence stimulates his production to
keep up with his buying desires.
Before advertising was developed
into a fine art and before it became a
factor in the eommercial world the
business Of the manufacturer and mer-
chant was to supply the normal needs
and desires of the human family; mer-
chandising was bounded by mans ne
cessities and by his meager knowledge
Of the luxuries which he deemed with
in his reach"
