SCIENCE
Builders of 2OO-Inck Tele-
scope are Confronted With
q Task InUolUing MOnu-
mental Difficulties.
BY DAVID DIETZ
A MIRROR 200 inches-almost

A MIRROR 200 inches-almost
IA seventeen feet-in diameter,
twenty-six inches thick and weigh
ing thirty tons. That is the first and
most vital problem facing the build
ers of the proposed 200-inch tele-
scope.
The telescope is to be placed on
California mountain at a cost of
$4,000, 900. The cost Is being de-
frayed by the International Educa-
ton Board, a John D. Rockefeller
Jr. foundation.
The largest telescope now in ex-
istence is the l00-inch telescope 81
Mt. Wilson, also in California. 1t
has a mirror 100 inches-a little
more than eight feet-in diameter,
thirteen inches thick and weighing
four and one-half tons.
A comparison of these two sets OF
figures indicates at once the difficult
problem facing the builders Of the
200-inch telescope.
All the worlds largest telescopes
use mirror instead of lenses. Such
telescopes are know technically as
refectors. The familiar type of
telescope. with an eyepiece at the
lower end and large lens at the
upper end, is known as a refractor.
The largest refractor in the world
has a lens forty inches in diameter,
1t has been found impossible to
build a larger one, both because of
the difficulty of producing the lens
and the difficult engineering prob
lens which would be faced in at
tempting to mount such lens at the
top of telescope tube.
4
Casting
I'm the reflector, the mirror is
Il placed at the bottom of the tube.
The mirror has a concave surface
which is Silvered.
The light from the star under OBJ
servation passes down the tube Of
the telescope. striking the mirror
at the bottom. It is reflected back
upward by the mirror and because
of the mirrors shape, the rays are
brought to a focus near the center
of the top of the tube.
A small diagonal mirror at this
point reflects the light to an eye
piece which usually is placed in the
side of the tube near the top.
1t is possible to build reflectors
larger than refractors, for two rea-
sons. Since the light is only re-
flected from the top Of the mirror
and does not pass through it as in
the case of the lens, it is possible
to use glass discs for mirrors which
would not be sufficiently perfect for
lenses.
Secondly, since the mirror is at
the bottom Of the tube. the engi-
neering problem involved is much
simpler.
But if any one thinks the task Of
making a 200-inch mirror is simple,
he would change his mind after five
minutes conversation with an as
tronomer.
1t took five years to make the
100-inch mirror now in use in the
Mt. Wilson telescope.
Such a mirror is produced by
melting the requisite amount Of
glass in a furnace and then pouring
it into a mold, which is itself within
an annealing furnace, so that the
cooling can be controlled.
But in spite of that, the great 100
inch disk cracked nineteen times
during the cooling process. This
meant that the disk had to be re-
melted and recast nineteen tines.

Furnishing the BUYER

In one of the most logical of all prohibition pro-
posals and in another way the most absurd congress
now is considering the idea of making the buyer OF
liquor guilty before the law as the manufacturer
and sellers.
From the standpoint of logic indeed, it might seem
that the buyer should be punished and not the manu-
facturer and seller. The prohibition amendments pur-
pose is to make people stop drinking
1t is intended to reform the individual Those re-
sponsibe for the amendment consider drinking vice
an immoral practice they consider it also harmful to
the individuals health.
These reformers do not consider business a vice. or
an immoral practce certainly not harmful to health
Nor do they look the manufacturing industry per
Sc something to be suppressed.
Yet when they started out to make us be good by
statute it at the industrious manufacturers and
the keen alert business that they aimed their
laws Nobody will deny that the dstillers are indus
trious nor that the bootleggers keen and alert
They went hot and heavy after these men, not even
stopping to inquire whether they drank the stuff they
made and sold; not giving thought to whether they
were harmed helped by their profitable enterprise
There was no logic in it. 1t absurd 1t still is
absurd.
And yet the one thing more absurd that the prohi-
bonists might have done would have been to do the
logical thing. That is to punish the buyer-the man
they really desire to reach
For there are so many millions of buyers in this
fair country today that undertaking to punish them
al-and surely the prohibitionists wouldn't punish
some of them, while allowing the others to escape
would require that half the population spend it's whole
time catching and falling the other half.
Our guess is that congress- after due thought will
stick to the present absurdity instead of undertaking
the new and incaluable absurdites that would follow
the proposal to punish the buyer

ONTARIO Q j
SALE Of :. LIQUOR
Conservatives Retained in
, Power by Record-B
ing Plurality.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, October 31.-Retained
in power by the biggest plurality ever
given a government in Ontario, the
Conservatives today regarded the cleo
ton as vindication of their policy of
government sale of liquor.
Inaugurated three years ago by the
government OF Premier G. Howard Fer
guSon. the government control act was
the principal issue in yesterdays gen.
eral election. The Progressives de-
manded bone-dry legislation and the
Liberals a plebiScite.
The Conservatives, holding IS of the
1l2 seats at the dissolution of the last
legislature, increased this number by
Is with. four seats still doubtful today.
Premier Ferguson, whose government
was returned to power for the third
time, was himself elected with a ma
| jority of more than 1000 votes over
his prohibitioniSt opponent, Rev. T. H.
| Bradley.
Liberal Hopes Upset.
The greatest defeat was suffered by the
Liberal party, which had expected star
Ting upSetS in the rural sections to give
them a far greater representation than
the Il seats they held at dissolution
Instead, their number was reduced to 9.
w. e. N. Sinclair, the Liberal leader,
was reelected by majority of about
1000.
The Progro ssives, who held IL seats
at dissolution won only three and saw
their leader, j. G. Lethbridge, go down
to defeat in three-cornered fight by
35 votes. All the Prohibition party cam
oidateS were defeated.
The Independent Conservatives won
two seats, the Liberal Progressives two
and the United Farmers one.
Four women who aSDfrpd tn be the
first of their sex to sit in the Legis-
lature all met defeat. Four Commu-
niSts, including Tim Buck, leader Of the
movement in Toronto, also were de-
feated.
Premier Ferguson, who had expressed
extreme confidence that his party would
be returned to power, said he would be
guided in his policy of liquor control
by vote of the people. He had de-
clared his willingness to adopt more
stringent regulations should they be
deemed necessary, but expressed the be-
lief that temperance and sobriety could
best be obtained by education in the
homes, the schools and the churches
He promised a reduction in the price
of beer

note from their mother, each one of

Yes, sir, each one grabbed hold of her
tail. They they were, six baby GrebeS
hanging on to Mothers tail for dear

hold, Mother Grebe dived. Peter
couldn't believe his eyes. Under water
she went like a shot and under water
went the six babies, all hanging on
to her tail

AS if in answer, Mrs. Grebe suddenly
appeared among the PUSHES right in
front of Peter. AS she popped out of
water, six baby Grebes popped out of
water also and each baby was still
clinging fast to Mothers tail. BY this
time Sharpshin had passed over and
the danger was gone. Mrs. Grebe saw

was peaceful, Mrs. Grebe was anxious.
Mothers are always anxious. The babies
were not anxious, however. They had
not yet learned the real meaning of
