escope
The greatest telescopes now in use
sometimes achieve a power of 5000
times as great as that of the unaided
vision. This is only when the state
of the atmosphere is at its best. Or
dinarily astronomers have TO be con-
tent with much less, sometimes with
a/magnification of 200 or 300
1.-THE atmosphere fixes an outside
limit of magniication,' said DR.. Frank
Schlessinger director OF the Yale OBJ
servatory. .''Limitless magnifying
powers could nor be used. Telescopes
will probably be made larger than at
present for use on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations, but The
tendency is to lose in distinctness as
magnifying power increases. Event
uGlly the object gazed on becomes a
blur, as if seen through heat haze.
Only through. great instruments like
that at Mount Wilson. and then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified as much as 5000
times been seen with an unblurred
vision.
IL Mars Were Mile Away.
The mine telescope, if it met the
sanguine expectation of it projec-
tor, would magnify 25,o000O0 times
which would bring Mars OFFICIALLY With
in mile and half of the earth. At
first thought this would seem to give
the astronomers a sight of Mars equiv
ulent to that which an air pilot OBJ
tains of the earth as he flies mile
and half above it. AT that height
an airman1 could see cities, towns and
individual buildings, farms, orchards
and thousand marks of the activity
of man. Under the same advantages
an astronomer would soon know all
about Mars, where the creations of in
telligent beings are believed to ex-
list on much grander scale than on
earth.
But here a difficulty arises. The
airman is unconscious of the rota-
tion of the earth, because gravity pulls
the earth and air and the airplane
with uniform motion. On the other
hand, it Mars were brought within 4
mile and half of the earth it would
be whiiling 50 rapidly that the fea-
lures of the landscape would be lost
to the eye, as are markings on the
propellers of an airplane revolving at
full speed.
If a magni6catien of 25,00O,0O0
times or anything like it could be ac-
complished the observer could only see
a small patch of Mars. Mars rotates
its 12,000-mile circumference once in
a. little more than ~ hours so that
