"big-gun" rejecting mirror comes along later.
A special building is to be constructed to
house the great glass. So great Will Oe the
radiation from the fuSing furnace that oo-
Servation of the disc in the making Will nave
to be made from a distance through nelo
glasses. Upon completion 1t will have TO traVel
from Massachusetts, to California by water IN
stead of by rail, since an object II feet In
width would not clear the tunnels and brldgeS
of any railroad in the world.
Marvellous is the process of construction
involved. Quartz sand is melted in an electric
furnace at more than 5000 degrees Fahren-
heit until it fuses into rough heavy mass OF
desired size and thickness. Upon this oase
a coating of clear quartz is sprayed and the
finished surface ground and polished to obtain
the desired curvature and then covered with
a thin deposit of silver. So accurate Is the
curvature that it can be gagged within Few
millionths of an inch!
Thust man prepares to project himself further
beyond the range of our solar system. what
will he find? Evidence confrmatory OF life on
other planets? New galaxies not heretofore
glimpsed by the eye of man? Other suns and
solar systems beyond the gravitational pull OF
our own golden orb?
Surely Venus-26 100000 miles away-and
Mars-35 0OO,0 900 miles away-and Mercury
470O000O miles aWay-wil be only next-door
neighbors compared to the stars that may
be brought within range by 2OO-1nch mirror.
Sir James Jeans a distinguished scientist,
in his latest book, 1.-THE Universe Around Us"
says recent measurements show that the near
est stars are at exactly a million times the
distances of the nearest planets. AS 1t Is
almost impossible to visualize a million, the
mere statement that the stars are million
times as remote as the planets gives only
feeble indication of the immensely of the gap
that divides the solar system from its nearest
neighborS in space
There are so many faint nebuae at the
very limit of vision of the 100-inch telescope"
he remarks. chat it seems certain that still
larger telescope would reveal great many
more. The 20O-inch telescope, having twice
the aperature of the present 10O-inch, ought
to probe twice as far into space, and so may
be expected to show about eight times as many
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-06

nebulae as are now revealed or about 49,
600 900 nebulae."
That mankind is only in the beginning
of space conquests is pointed out by Sir James
who reminds us that, according to Einsteins
original theory, even the 140OO0,OOO light
years through which We can range with our
telescopes form only small fraction OF the
whole of space-Something like one part IN a
thousand million.
There is plenty of space still awaiting ex-
ploration," he adds. Mankind, who has been
possessed of telescopes for only 300 years out
of the 300 900 of his residence on earth coulo
hardly hope to discover the whole OF space In
so short time. Our astronomer explorers are
moving from island to island in a small ar
cEipelago which surrounds their home In space,
but they are still far from circumnavigating
the globe. And just as the earliest geographers
tried to estimate the size of the earth long
before they thought of circumnavigating 1t,
from the curvature of small part OF its sur
face, so astronomers are now trying TO form
estimates, although necessarily vague, OF the
size of the whole universe from the curva-
ture of that part Of it with which they are
already acquainted"
will the new telescope solve the mystery
of Mars-those canals that have been the
subject of so much conjecture, and whether
the great red planet is dead or alive?
Within the last few months Mars has been
swinging "close" to earth-only 50,O0O,000
miles away-and astronomers have been hoping
to get new line on the Marian canals and
the melting polar caps. Observations during
the last decade have led many astronomical
authorities to agree there must be some form
of life on Mars until now there are few who
insist that such a superstition is impossible"
DR.. william Pickering not only holds that
Mars is inhabited by intelligent being, but in
sists the Martians have been attempting for
some time to communicate with the EARTH
Discovery of the canals was made by the italian
astronomer, Schiaparelli, and DR.. Percival Low
ell Of Harvard, has held for 20 years to the
theor/ that these canals were artifcally con-
structed by the inhabitants Of Mars and IN
dicated the presence there of an intelligent
race with civilization far in advance Of our
own. $50. 70.
