Rouse was sitting in his car at

Pressure on Muscles.

A STIMULATING influence of high
pressureS on the function of the
muscles has been discovered as a re-
suit or experiments conducted by DR..
Mckeen Cattell and DR.. D. ]. Edwards
or the Cornell University Medical COL
iege. The ordinary effect of pressure on
tissue is to stop its functioning How
ever. when pressure is made on muscles
That are completely immersed in a fluid
the muscle on contracting does more
work.
When local pressure is applied to a
muscle, injury is readily produced, due
to the tissues becoming deformed and
the huid in the tissues being displaced.
But when muscular tissue is completely
immersed In fluid, as 1t was in these
experiments, the only effect of the pres
sure Is a slight change in volume,
caused by the pressure acting upon a
liquid system, which is what the mus
Under these conditions 1t was found
that the muscle was markedly stimu-
lated to greater energy production,
The investigators used pressures as
great as 1000 pounds per square inch
and found that the higher the pres
sure the greater the stimulation. The
average tension developed by the mus
Gle under pressure when stimulated was
increased one-third over the tension
under ordinary air pressure. There was
an increase in heat production corre-
spending to the tension changes when
pressure was applied. No conclusion as
to the practical application Of the work
has been reached, but 1t may throw in
teresting light on the mechanism of
muscular contraction.

Shades Of Calico and Newton! No
wonder that when the International
Education Board, administering Mr.
Rockefeller's hard-earned money an
nounced an appropriation of funds the
world took notice. The appropriation
was made directly to the California In
stitute of Technology, in Pasadena. A
prime purpose of the gift was to assure
the new observatory an advantage, in
design and construction, of assistance
from investigators in the institute and
the neighboring Mount Wilson Observa-
tory.
Terms of the gift are so broad as to
offer unusual opportunities for securing
results Of great interest. This can best
be seen from the nature of the equip
ment. problems of construction and the
group of men assembled to attack them.
The new observatory will supplement,
not duplicate, the Mount Wilson OBJ
servatory. 1t will comprise two main
parts-one the 200-inch instrument, its
dome and incidental equipment; the
other will be an astrophysical labora-
tory on the Institutes campus in Pasa-
dena. This laboratory will be equipped
with instruments and facilities for
studying ana interpreting observational
results. It viii contain shops capable
Of constructing instruments used in
conjunction with the 200-inch disk.
A possible auxiliary of the telescope
will be 40-foot Nicholson stellar In
terferometer attached across the upper
end Of the tube and arranged so 1t can
be rotated. This would make possible
the measurement of star diameters and
probably separation of the so-called
spectroscopic binary stars
An important addition will be photo

existing instruments have been able to
stage only beginning into the un-
plumbed mysteries of bright spiral neb-
ulae outside our own galaxy. These i'm
mense systems of stars form the most
conspicuous examples of a sequence Of
structural forms, which include spiral
elliptical and globular nebulae. Within
the range of the 100-inch telescope at
Mount Wilson there are no less than
a million, but this will be increased at
least TO three million.
"Dr. Edwin Hubble has already re-
solved part of the nebulosity into indi-
vidual stars. We also have perfected
a means of gauging distance and dimen-
Sions of nebulae in which they occur
In this manner the Andromeda nebula
has been found to be $4,000 light years
away and its diameter As 900 light years
Gight travels 10000 miles a second:
one light year is the distance travelled
by light ray in one year, Androm-
eda nebula throws off billion and a
half times the light Of our sun and its
weight is probably 500,000,000 to a
billion times as great. It is a mighty
universe in itself.
Among millions of other spirals only
five or six can be studied in a similar
way. The new reflector will greatly
enhance our meager knowledge. Con-
servatively, it is estimated that we will
be enabled to measure the distances
of 20 new nebulae and determine with
less accuracy the distances of 200 more.
1T is probable that the new instru-
ment will show nebulae of average size
and brightness 10 a distance of AGO.
100000 light years, which is only a
fraction of finite space recognized by
the theory of relativity.
Equally important is the history of
stellar systems which we see in spiral
nebulae. A study of nebular stars will
throw light on physical conditions pres
ent and study of nebular forms may
teach us how our own star system was
created.
Passing to analysis of starlight, we
have field offering remarkable posi-
bilities. The number, distribution and
intensity of spectral lines are a sure
index of physical conditions under which
atoms exist We know why stars of
different temperature show different
spectral lines, although material COM
posing the stars is the same, and how
it is possible for matter to exist with
densitieS several thousand times that
of the heaviest element known on earth.
Messages contained in star spectra
can be interpreted only if photographed
on large scale, so that thousands of
individual lines in complicated spectra
may be separated. To do this requires
a very large telescope. A few bright
stars have already been studied in this
way and their Spectra form a mine of
valuable information. They have pro-
vided a new method for determining

Title of Prince of Wales

IN 1889 Henry III and Eleanor named
their first-born son Edward for Ed
ward the ConfeSSor. His career began
when a politically arranged marriage
was planned for him to the half-sister
of the Spanish King. This called for
adequate provision in matters of lands
and titles, and among his fathers gen.
erous grants were the lands of his father
In Wales.
The young prince attempted to estab-
lish English law in his Welsh provinces
and thereby completely estranged his
subjects.
Although Edward and his wife, the
Spanish Eleanor, had four sons and
nine daughters, he was succeeded by the
fourth son, the first three sons having
died in their youth.
About this fourth son, known in his
tory as Edward II, there has. hovered
through the centuries that Charming
but wholly unfounded story to the ef-
feet that when the conquered WEIGH
asked his father for prince who could
not speak word of English, he offered
them such a prince in the shape of his
newborn son. The fact In the case is
that Edward II was born in 1894 and
was not made Prince Of Wales until
| 1901 in the Lincoln Parliament.
Out of that error have grown unfound-
ed theories regarding the title of Prince
of Wales. A general belief holds that
| that title is inherited by the eldest son
of the King of England. The fact of
the matter is, however, that the title of
Prince of Wales Is one of creation only.
Since the time of Edward III 13l2-
1377) the first-born son of British
King is by primogeniture a Duke of
Cornwall, and If in addition he bears
the title Of Prince Of Wales, 1t is be-
cause 1t has been legally conferred upon
him.
j The question then naturally arises as
to whether the title Of Prince of Wales
can be conferred upon male heirs Of
British kings when they are not first
! born sons.
In the reign of James it was de-
cided that If a Prince of Wales and
Duke Of Cornwall should die while his
father still was King and leave a son,
that son would hold neither title, be-
cause he Is neither King Of England
| nor the son of king. But II the Prince
| of Wales should die leaving his brother
his heir, the title of Duke OF Cornwall
would pass to the brother, while the
principality Of Wales would become
merged In the crown.
Hence there are few instances In
British history In which sovereigns who
were Dukes Of Cornwall did not bear
the title of Prince Of Wales and who
we're Princes of Wales and did not bear
the title of Duke of Cornwall.
| In the case of George v, the present
King Of England, is an illustration OF
the points made above. He was the
second born son of his father, the first-
born son being Prince Albert Victor,
who died in 1892. In that year Prince
George was created Duke Of York. In
1901 he was created Prince of Wales,
and by the decision in the reign of
James I he was Duke Of Cornwall as
the eldest son of the living King In
this instance the brother, Prince Albert,
was not Prince Of Wales. Edward VII
his father. held that title until the
death Of Queen Victoria In 1901.
Evening star., 1928-12-30

Thus it becomes clear that the title of
Duke OF Cornwall is one of inheritance
only, while that of Prince of Wales is
one OF creation. Other titles may be
conferred upon the heir to the British
throne besides that of the Welsh prin-
cipality, the only title of inheritance
being that of Cornwall.
II, as 1t has so often been limited, the
present Prince of Wales should resign
the crown in his brothers (the present
Duke OF York; favor and the resigna-
ton be made upon the death of his
father, the Duke of York, as King
would bear neither the Welsh title no1
that of Cornwall.
