SUPER-MILkY WAY SEEN

Special Despatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, May 30.--Dr. Har-
low Shapley, an astronomer who re-
Gently came to Harvard from the
Mount Wilson Observatory in Cali
fornia, announces that he has made
certain discoveries that reveal the uni
verse to be thousand times greater
than ever before conceived by scien-
lists.
BY so doing he has re!egated the
earth to a place 1000 times less i'm
portant than it has heretofore occu-
pied. Instead of being in the centre
of things this globe is now estimated
70 be something like 100000, 600. .000,-
C00.000.000 miles from the centre OF
the universe.
DIR. Shapley Is a comparatively young
astronomer, yet he has won a high place
in his professional field. He is gradu-
ate OF the Missouri State University and
Of Princeton. He was identified with
the Mount Wilson Observatory seven
years
BY taking the distance between sun
and earth as a base for triangulation
measurements. vast distances in the
past have been recorded until such lines
have been extended hundreds OF light
years and even to the border line of
measurement. the PIeiades.
The PIeiades arc hardly in the front
yard of DR.. shapley's galaxy. which he
has measured and found to DE in length
about 100000 light years. It is a
super milky way.

900. .000.0 900 miles. 1t takes but eight
minutes for light to come to the earth
from the sun. 100000 miles away.
The young astronomer has proved by
calculations that the sun, the little spech
OF light around which tiny shadow
called the earth revolves. is not by any
means the centre OF the universe. but
Is sixty thousand light years off centre.
He has caused our proud solar system

scientist. and Il Is wholesome for hu-
man beings to realize of what small i'm
portance they are in comparison with
the universe"
In fact, Or. Shapley appeared cnthu-
sisstic over the fact that he has reduced
the size OF man a thousand times.
At the Mount Wilson observatory DR..
Shapley spent a great deal OF time
studying globular clusters OF stars. and
principally one called "Messier 49,"
which is $4,000 light years from the
earth. Small stars in this group are ono

while the larger and more brilliant. he
described as thousand times as big

JEWELRY WORTH $1,000

That the robbery of rooms and pa

developed 20 the plane of skilled pro-
iession, was indicated again yesterday
when the management of the new Ho-
Eel Ambassador, at Fifty-dirst street
and Park avenue. reported to the
police the loss by Mrs. Duncan Nc
Martin, one of the hotels patrons, OF
towels worth $4,000.
The architects who planned the ho-
tel had in mind when laying out its
ground floor arrangements the type of
well dressed criminal who for years
has profited by the hospitable public

older hotels: and when the hotel was

She passed the day out OF the city
with her son. who is 15 years old, and
Upon returning 10 the hotel with him
took off q ring which she was wearing
with the intention of placing 1t in

reau drawer. When she opened the case
she found that everything which il had
contained had been taken.
She had left In lt lavalliere. set with
diamonds and emeralds; a pair OF jew

four rings. As her rooms were In perfect
order che did not AT first believe that a
thief had been at work In her absence

reporting her loss 10 the hotel manager.
