CORNING. N. ", Dec. 3.-tP)-
Indirectly the 2OO-inch eye" for
the worlds largest telescope. pour
ed Sunday, may furnish intorma-
ton as to whether there is life in
other parts Of the universe.
The present scientific doubts of
life have two foundations, one the
lack OF oxygen OF Venus, and the
scarcity Of II on Mars. These are
the two planets where conditions
are anywhere near like those on
earth. II there IS life scientists
think ID cannot be the kind we
know.
The other doubt is the probability
that the earth Is a very rare ac-
cident. Earth apparently arose from
OF two stars. one OF them the sun
The probabilities OF such an ac-
cident being repeated TO exactly
initiate the earth and its atmoS-
phere are considered very remote.
That Is where the 200~inch
telescope TO BE- set up on PalOmaI
mountain. California. may come in.
The present worlds largest telescope
the l0O-inch at Mount Wilson
California, sees about rs. 10000
nebulae. A nebulae IL a collection
OF stars like our Milky Way. A low
estimate for the number OF indi-
vidual stars OF a nebulae Is 80
0O0. 100000. Multiplying this number
by Seventy-five million gives the
number Of stars within view OF
present telescopes.
The 200-inch mirror is expected
to multiply the volume OF visibles
space BY q fold. II. as is rather ex-
pected, this additional space con-
tains nebulae In the same numbers
az present known space, the num-
Der OF individual stars is seventy
five million times thirty billion
times n. That works out into e
number OF individual stars so vast
that If ii proves correct. more than
one duplication OF the earth may
reasonably by expected.
Sundays pouring was the second
for a 20)-inch mirror. Last March
the first one was poured, some
imperfectiOns developed and the

Republicans Have say

Here's the answer OF Senator

dependent:
THE recent election shows the
people turned out the conservative
republicans not because they loved
the democrats more, but because
they had TO get rid OF those stand
pat fellows. If the democrats turn
TO the right-and I have seen some
indications Of tit seems TO me
they have judged the elections all
wrong and they will have more TO

from the republicans"
Senator FeSs. OF Ohio. %conserva-

PARTY
PREDICTIONS
CONFLICTING

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. -CRl-
There was sharp disagreement in
Washington Monday as to what
effect a new and more liberal
party might have on democratic
party prospects in 1886.
Comments on a third party
shape up like this:
A high democrat said that II
economic conditions do not i'm
prove the danger" from the
radical side" will grow.
A republican independent be-
heves the democrats will have no.
thing TO fear from right or left II
they remain progressive"
Conflicting Opinions
A regular republican took the
stand that the party in power will
have sturdier opposition from the
republicans.
The farmer-laborite thought the
democrats would have nothing 10
fear but themselves"
II was Senator Adams D-ColoJ
who said:
The democratic party has land
ed in the middle Of the road, II
you take the Old Guard as typical
OF the republican party and the
radical progressives at the other
extreme.
"The democrats occupy a vide
belt. There is more of a possibility
Of growth OF the belt to the left
than TO the right. I can see where
a democratic belt ear still invade
further the republican in territory
like Pennsylvania.
"Of course, economic conSe-
quenceS will have & great deal OF
say about It. II conditions improve
IL WI lessen the hazard from the
radical side. II they don't. II en-
hances the danger. There is a pos
sibility Of a movement Of that
Aind in every state"

Red Lodge daily news combined with Carbon County news., 1934-03-14

we owe the addition of maple slrup and maple
sugar to the Indians. There is an interesting
| legend about the way the red man discovered
maple sugar. According to the story, a certain
WoKsis, a mighty hunter, was out one day In
search OF game and his diligent squaw, whose
name was Moqua, was busy embroidering pair
OF moccasins to surprise him when he came
back home. But she knew, as all wives know
that in addition to surprise she had to have
an evening meal awaiting her lord
SO she hastily cut off piece of moose meat
and set II to bol In the water which ran from
the maple tree at the door of her tepee-since
the tree was nearer than the spring. Then she
bent so interestedly over her embroidery that
she forgot all about the moose meat and the
sweet water boiled away into thick. brown
sirup and formed crusted sweetness around
the meat
When Woksis returned, he graciously accepted
the moccasns with their bead-embroidered bears
but he exclaimed with delight when his teeth
sank into the daintiest morse that he had ever
tasted. Eagerly he devoured the meat and called
for the kettle so that he could lick II clean
Then he went out In his new notwithstanding
never a word about them-and told all his tribe
how Kosekusheth, the heaven-sent instructor
had taught his Moqua how TO make delicious
food by boiling the Juice of maple.
Soon this knowledge spread to all the tribes
and every spring saw them gashIng the sugar
naples with their hatchets and gathering the
sap in containers made from birchbark It was
then boiled In earthen pots (and later, after
the coming Of the white MANI, In iron kettles
which they obtained from traders, into which
heated stones were dropped to facilitate the
boiling. The early settlers were quick to appre-
clate this toothsome native delcacy and In many
a pioneer home maple sugar was the only sweet |
enng ever used But they improved upon the |
Indians method of making it--mainly In the |
matter of cleanliness-and maple sugar time be-
came one of the traditions of American farm
life
For a description OF that delightful period
In the farm year one can do no better than to
refer to Charles Dudley Warner again. and see
