emeritus professor of navigation and
astronomy at Amherst.
The reflector itself represents a
triumph for American science and
particularly for it's maker, DR.. John
Peate A controversy arose more
than thirty years ago as to the abil-
ity of American instrument makers to
compete with those in foreign coun-
tries. DR.. John +. Hurst. then chan
cellor of American University, held
Stanchly that Americans had no -Su-
periors in the art of making pre-
cision instruments and in order 10
uphold his point of view he entered
into an agreement with Dr. Peate,
famous as maker of refiectors.
whereby the latter agreed to make
an enormous glass, siXty-two ana
one-half inches in diameter and five
and one-half inches thick, for Amer
lean University. It's total weight is
more than $500 pounds.
Plan Proved Successful.
The work of making the glass took
almost three years of DR.. Peate's s
time. He devised plan of incloSing
the melted glass with a wooden ring.
after attempts to use steel ring mas
resulted in repeatedly cracking the
glass. This plan proved successful,
for the wood burned away and the
glass did not crack.
The glass has never been used dur
ing the years 1t has remained at
American University, Dul pldTS are
under way for the eventual construc-
ton of a building in which to house
it for regular usc. 1t has, however,
been successfully used, as DR.. ii. q.
Dodds writes:
Milky Way beyond.
reflections have been made from
this. glass of wonderful perfections,
oneSof which required the construc-
tion of derrick of sufficient height
to put the observer at the focus of
the reflector for a glimpse at the
Milky Way. When DR.. Peate, who
was the first to make this observa-
ton, had taken this view of the
heavens, he descended from the der
rick and knelt by the glass and
thanked God for permitting him to
see worlds that no human eye had
ever seen before. But, said he to the
writer, while this glass was able to
resolve the star dust of the Milky Way
into separate stars, there was still
Milky Way beyond"
The glass is the largest parabola in
existence. though there are two con-
cave glasses that are larger. II is
said to be the only glass of anything

MILLIONS TO OBSERVE
MAY DAY In EUROPE
British Labor Party Plans Orderly
Affair Despite Demands of
Some Members.

LONDON. April 26.-The English
Labor party's part in the interna-
tional observance of this May day,
although it will not be the affair
that the more ruddy members OF
the party would have it, will be
bigger and better than ever 1t is
expected that several million per-
sons will celebrate this European
Labor day" by taking. part in the
big celebrations, mass meetings and
professions which will be held
throughout the country.
Efforts of a large section, Of the
party to have the day observed more
other group which included several
government ministers who believe
that this is the chance to get in some
prCPa ganda by way of speeches and
the enactment of resolutions by the
rank and file of the Socialists. 1t
is expected that Premier Macdonald,
John Robert Clynes, deputy leader
in the House of Commons; Lord Par
moor and other of LaborS star per-
formers, will be among the speak
ers on the platform at Hyde Park and
other London parks.
100000 Expected in Parade.
The parade of labor adherents,
which gathers annually on the Vic
toria embankment and marche es
through the west end to Hyde Park,
is expected this year to number 100.-
600, which is going to present a
knotty problem to London's police
chiefs.
The Labor government has dis
appointed many members of the
party who, for several years have
been advocating that May day be
made a national holiday, by declar-
ing it impossible to consider such
action at the present time, as there
is more pressing Legislation on hand.
The opposition to such action has
always been on the part of bankers
and merchants, who maintain that
there are enough holidays already
and that business would be given a
heavy setback if there were any
more productionless spaces in the
calendar.

American Cniversity's massive five
foot rejecting telescope, one of the
largest and finest instruments of it's
kind in the world, will be used by Dr.
David Todd. the famous Amherst as
tronomer, in his observations at Ger
TO de Pasco, in the Andes of Peru, this
summer. 10 add as much as possible to
human knowledge of Mars
Mars this summer will be nearer
to the earth than il has been or will
be for many years. The orbits of
Mars and the earth are elliptical. and
this year both planets are racing
along in the same relative sectors of
the ellipse, like trains on parallel
tracks. The unusual opportunity has
given rise to high hopes on the part
OF astronomers. who will have the
best opportunities, perhaps, of their
Hlet1meS to learn new facts about the
neighboring planet, and perhaps to
solve the great question as to wheth-
er or not Mars is inhabited. AS it
happens, venus is also relatively near
the earth at this time, and may also
be the subject of investigation.
Will BE SplendidIy Equipped.
Or. Todd's expedition will be splen-
dldly equipped. The trustees of
American University have this week
voted to permit him to use the giant
reflector, and the latest astronomical
devices VIII be utilized to supplement
1t. Under the terms of the agreement
proposed 1etween the university and
Dr. Todd the great mirror will be in
Sured for its 1ull value, and a bond
Will likewise be given for its full
value, which is considerably in ex-
cess of $4,000. ResurfacinE of the
mirror will perhaps be necessary, and
this will be left to an expert. 1t is
not to be away from the university
for more than six months. Its pres
ent location is in the hall of history,
at the university grounds.
DIR. Todd will be in Washington
during this week to make final ar
rangements for taking the lns:ru-
ment. The university will receive full
credit for discoveries made through
the medium of the glass and copies
of DR.. Todds final report will be
turned over to it for distribution.
