charge with all sincerity that the
author erred in not submitting his
manuscript to the mother church
to be checked up. They say that
because of this failure many in
accuracies have crept into this
book on the life of Mrs. Eddy.
But it seems to me that the re-
quirement advanced by the Scien-
fists is much too rigid.
No research scholar intent upon
a biography wants his book to get
into the dreary field in which his
work may be identified as an "ofh-
cial life" of somebody or other. I
can think of no f1rst-class piece OF
literature which has been done I'M
der such auspices.

TrenOE Disk

CLOUDS, however, do not consti-
~ tute the sole difficulty con-
fronting the astronomer. The as
tronomer also must contend with
the turbulence or motion of the at
mosphere.
1--WE must observe the stars from
the depths Of a turbulent atmos-
phere, which not only scatters and
absorbs much of the light that
reaches its upper levels, but so ir-
regularly refracts the portion trans
mitted that the rays falling on the
various parts of large lens or mir
ror are rarely or never combined
into a sharply defined and perfectly
steady image" says DR.. George FL
lery Hale, chairman of the observa-
tory council and honorary director
of the Mt. Wilson observatory.
ITO understand the conditions re-
quired for the best results, we must
think of the appearance Of the tele-
scopic image Of star. Obviously,
no clouds should be in the way, and
out site, therefore, should be one
where storms are few.
Under a magnifying power OF,
say, 500 diameters, the star image
instead of being very minute and
perfectly steady point usually is en-
larged and in a state of motion.
1.-THE enlarged image oscilates very
rapidly in all directions and also
undergoes slower oscillations of
about a second of arc in period
of approximately a minute Of time.
AS these take place in all directions,
the resultant image is merely circu-
lar in form and has been well
named by Newall a 'tremor disk"

WHENEVER public health au-
w thorities want to eYaluate any
new method for the control Of a
disease they study the death rates
over a period of years previous to
and after the introduction Of the
measure concerned.
Thus DR.. Walter w. Lee of the
Indiana state board of health as
senbled the figures for deaths from
diabetes in Indiana and in Massa-
chusetts for the years from 1900 to
1927.
The specific method Of treatment
known as insulin was first intro
duced in 1922 and it has certain
effect on the disease. About 1910
the modern dietary treatment of the
disease was established and this also
has had definite effect in lowering
the diabetes mortality rates.

Mt, Wilson

DR. HALE points out that there
- are many reasons why the
smallest possible tremor disks are
desired. First of all, the larger the
disk. the more the light is spread
and the fainter the resultant image.
It is possible, therefore, to record
exceedingly faint stars if the disks
are small. If the disks are large,
these stars are lost.
It is also possible to measure the
exact position of stars more easily
if the tremor disk is small Very
close double stars, for example,
might fuse together if the disks are
large.
Structural details Of nebulac are
also better observed when the
amount of tremor is low.
When the Carnegie Institution
built the Mt. Wilson observatory, it
first sent a number Of skilled OBJ
servers to various mountain sites.
These observers made records night
after night. Then after a COM
parison of these observational rec
ords, Mt. Wilson was chosen for the
site.
This same process is now being
followed by the observatory council
The sites being studied are chiefly
in the neighborhood Of Mt. Wilson,
which is near Pasadena.
These sites are recommended not
only by the excellent results which
have been obtained at Mt. Wilson,
but by the desire to have the new
telescope reasonably close to both
the Mt. Wilson observatory and to
the California Institute Of Tech
nology. which is in Pasadena.

Is the metric system legal or com

The law making the metric sys-
tenn legal in the United States was
passed in 1866. Its use is not COM

metric system is now in general use

Threat for Grundy

IF reports from Pennsylvania are
Il to be credited, Governor Fisher
will name Colonel Grundy to the
senate, and if story in the New
York World is right. Colonel
Grundy will get a cold welcome and
perhaps have the door slammed in
his face.
Take it any way you like, Penn
sylvania does not seem to have
gained very much.
AS a matter of fact, there wasn't
any chance for Pennsylvania to
gain, since the Ware crowd spent
far less money and was guilty of
far less corruption than the crowd
it defeated.
Making allowance for all that,
what right has the senate to bar, or
even threaten to bar, Colonel
Grundy?
OF course, he wrote the Repub-
lican tariff plank last year and then
collected million dollars to see
that the Republican party won.
And not only that, but he had the
effrontery to tell the senate COM
mittee all about it, and spit in the
face of the west, by way of good
measure.
To sum it all up, Colonel Grundy
has made himself peculiarly
offensive not only to those political
leaders who disagree with his ideas,
but to everybody in general.
Still what right has the senate
to exclude him, or even to suggest
such a thing?

Why is that Pullman berths are
always made up with the head to-
ward the engine?
The practice is based on two prin-
ciples. First, it drives the air cur
rents toward the feet, and this keeps
the head and uncovered parts OF
the body out of drafts. Second the
motion of the train is supposed to
have some effect upon the cireula-
ton of the blood. and by moving
head foremost the blood is sent
away from the head and toward the
feet. which, aids sleeping.

SCIENCE
Site Sought By Science for
$12,000,000 T eleScOpe
Where ClOudineSS Is at
Minimum.
BY DAVID DIETZ

ONE of the chief problems facing
~ the California Institute OF
Technology is to find a place for its
$12,000,O00 telescope. The money
for the telescope has been furnished
| by the international education board,
a John D. Rockefeller Jr. founda-
ton.
A group of eminent astronomers
and engineers, under the direction
Of John A. Anderson, executive Off
Ger of the institutes observatory
council, now is at work designing the
giant telescope.
The General Electric laboratory
| at West Lynn, Mass, under direction
of DR.. Elihu Thomson, is carrying
on experiments which it is hoped
will lead to the production of a
thirty-ton disc of fused quartz from
which the great 2O0-inch mirror can
be ground.
But meanwhile, the institute has
to find q site for the telescope. This
| problem is one of immense impor-
tance. A powerful microscope can
be carried around from one labora-
tory to another. 1t will work equally
well in any well-lighted laboratory.
But a telescope has to be put IN
one place and left there. AS every
one knows, in looking at star, the
observer must gaze through the at
nosphere. Obviously, when the sky
is clouded. the telescope is out OF
commission for all practical pur-
poses.
Since $12,0OOOOO represents quite a
large investment, it is essential to
place the telescope where a mini
mum of cloudy nights will be en-
| countered.

Senate Hasn't the Right

TT is one thing to kick a senator
L. out after he has been elected
and has been proved guilty of mis-
conduct in connection with his cleo
ton, but it Is quite another to pro-
scribe a man beforehand.
If that is to become the general
practice, we might as we'll dispense
with the obviously superhuous GUS
tom of electing, or appointing, sena-
tors, and let the senate decide who
IS acceptable when vacancy &C.
ours
Testifying before the interstate
commerce commission with regard
to control of radio and telegraph
facilities, Owen D. Young said:
From the standpoint of national
interest, a monopoly, either regu-
lated or controlled by the govern
ment, is a necessity"
That calls to mind the declaration
of former President Roosevelt that
we were headed for regulated mo-
nopoly, or state socialism.
Indeed, most of those who have
given the subject serious thought
seem to believe that modern de-
velopment leaves no choice but CEN
tralized authority of some kind.
The doctrine of competition, by
which our fathers set such store,
appears to be going the way of all
flesh.
If it does, what's to become of
that thing we call liberty?
