She was repulsed by attendants,

Stewart II. Holbrook, writing in
the American Mercury. This

nally had a surgical meaning in

the Wobblies it has become as
wide as the concept Of 100 per

|GIANTTEI ESCOPES
By Garrett P. Seryiss

usually estimated by the diameter
Gin inchesD OF either the object
glass or the mirror
After the telescopes that I have
mentioned above had become
antiquated, like cast-off naval
guns. the real. giants began slow
~ to appear, The first in this
country, ] think, was the new
Naval Observatory refractor OF
26-inches at Washington, with
which Prof. Hall discovered the
moons of Mars. Then, in 1888,
came the Lick Observatory's giant
refractor of 36-inches. perched on
Mt. Hamilton, Cal. This made
great sensation for all the world.
Afterward came the 40-inch re-
tractor Of the Yerkes Observa-
tory. But within the past few
years the great group of tele.
scopes on Mt. Wilson in Cali
fornia has become the metropoH-
tan center Of telescope observa-
ton, it's collection of powerful in
struments being headed by the
enormous 100-inch reflector, which
has recently enabled astronomers
to measure the diameters OF
stars, and to produce amazing
photographs of the contents OF
the profoundest depths of space.
You may go and look at These
Instruments, but the layman
must not expect that they will be
put at the disposal of his
curiosity, however intellectual the
nature of that curiosity may be.
These giant instruments have
work to do, and astronomers keep
clocks not to tell when it Is time
to quit, but how fast they must
work to keep up with the never
resting stars. p
Here are just few places, not
above mentioned. that May lie
along the lines of your travels,
where large telescopes exist: Ann
Arbor, Mich. Flagstaff, Ariz.;
Victoria, B. G. Ia 72Inch), Prince
ton, n. j.; Swarthmore, Pa; the
University Of Virginia. Cam
servatories, such as the Lick. and
hours are set aside when the
public can have glimpse at the
heavens through a telescope. The
United States Nautical Almanac
lists more than sixty observatories
in this country.
If you want thorough book
on astronomy as science, with
out too much mathematics, ger

ton in preparation. Books of a
popular nature abound. l may
mention that l myself have writ
ten a number, which you can
doubtless find in any large library
or book store. A fine old book,
Grants History of Physical AS
tronomy," will tell you about the
founders of the science.
Any large dealer in optical
goods can inform you where and
at what price you can buy a
small telescope for the use Of an
amateur. None smaller than
about 3-inch aperture would be
of much use Get refractor In
preference to a reflector.
