Now that Mars is working its way

kingdom must have a big telescope,
and 1t is to buy one that X. Acino, who
arrived here yesterday on the liner
Chiyo Maru came TO the United States.
Acino is professor of mathematics and
astronomy at the Japanese naval acad-
emy or staff college at Tokyo.
The professor has been sent to the
United states to visit a number of the
important observa tories. including the
naval observatory at Washington, and
after he has studied their equipment
and methods of working to purchase
for the Japanese government a number
of instruments, including the large tele-
scope.
Mars. he said. is coming closer to
the earth all the time, and Japan wishes
to know as much about the friendly
planet during its visit as the other ma
tions learn The largest telescope in
Japan, he said, is an eight inch affair.
Acino viii not decide upon the size of
the spyglass he expects to buy until
he has peered through some of the big
lenses in the American observatories.
