GIANT TELESCOPES
TOPIC OF ADDRESS
Mount Wilson Scientist to
Tell of Advance in Optical
Society Lecture.

The human eye will be greatly
strengthened soon as a medium OF
cosmic exploration.
AS yet, no scientists will predict
how far the worlds largest telescope
will throw back the frontier of the
known universe, but much is expected
of the huge lenses and mirrors now
being perfected.
How mans puny visual powers will
be multiplied by this instrument Is
to be described to the Optical Society
of America tonight by DR.. F. G..
Pease of the Mount Wilson Observa-
tory. Dr. PeaSe will discuss the
many problems involved in the de-
sign of the huge telescope.
New Lenses Double Power.
The 2OO-inch lenses will, at one
lump. double the diameter of what
is now the worlds largest telescope
The various types of mountingS
which have been considered will be
compared and their advantages and
disadvantages discussed.
One of the noteworthy improve
ments to be explained by DR.. PeaSe
is the new design for large mirrors
involving a ribbed instead of solid
disk, supported by an improved lever
system to avoid f1eXure of the glass.
Another revolutionary step is the
aluminizing of the surface of the
mirror, which has replaced the we'll
known process of chemically deposit
ing a very thin silver film to act as
the rejecting surface.
The public has been invited to at
tend this lecture and another on
tonight's program by Charles Bit
finger, Washington portrait painter,
who will discuss new principles in
volved in his creation of set of ultra

walls of the Franklin Institute at

Under normal lighting conditions
the painted walls present a blank,
neutral -colored surface, but their
colors become visible to the human
eye when an ultraviolet light is
played upon them.
Mr.. Bittinger will explain the
principle underlying this new art and
illustrate by painting picture in
ultra violet pigments.
