EYE MAY REVEAL
LIFE ON PLANETS
New Telescope Will Magnify
Fartherest Star for
Examination.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CORNING, N. Y, December 3.-In-
directly the 2Oo-inch "eye" for the
worlds largest telescope, poured yes
terday, may furnish information 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 on Venus, and the scarcity
on Mars. These are the two planets
where conditions are anywhere near
like those on earth. If there is life,
scientists think it cannot be the kind
we know
The other doubt is the probability
that the earth is very rare accident.
Earth apparently arose from a col
lision or too close proximity Of two
stars, one of them the sun. The prob
abilities of such an accident being re-
peated to exactly initiate the earth
and its atmosphere are considered
very remote.
That is where the 200-inch telescope
to be set up on Palomar Mountain,
Calf, may come in. The present
worlds largest telescope, the 100-inch
instrument at Mount Wilson, Calf,
sees about 100000 nebulae. A nebu-
lac is a collection of stars like our
Milky Way. A low estimate for the
number of individual stars on nebu-
lac is 10000 100000 Multiplying this
number by 100000 gives the number
of stars within view Of present tele-
scopes.
The 2OO-inch mirror is expected to
multiply the volume Of visible space
by 27-fold If, as is rather expected,
this additional space contains nebulae
in the same numbers as present known
space, the number of individual stars
is 5000, 900 times 10000, 00o, 900 times
27. That works out into a number
of individual stars so vast that, If 1t
proves correct, more than one duplica-
ton of the earth may reasonably be
expected.
Yesterdays pouring was the second
for a 200-inch mirror. Last March
the first one was poured, some imper-
fections developed, and the astrono-
merS decided to have the Corning
Glass Works cast a duplicate. Now
it is announced that the March mir
ror is good enough to be used If nee
eSsary.
Meanwhile the mirror poured yes
terday turned out apparently perfect.
1t went last night into its annealing
over, to remain there three months
at about 1900 degrees Fahrenheit,
after which it will be cooled about
degree a day until it is taken out Of
the oven 10 months hence. Then
years are expected to be needed for
grinding and shaping the mirror at
the California Institute Of Technol-
ogy. This results In estimates Of 6 to
possibly 10 years until the great tele-
scope is ready for its hrst peep at
distant space. It will gather four
times the light of present telescopes,
see three times as far, or nearly a
billion light years distance, and will
take photos 10 times faster than pres
ent great telescopes.

SLEEP" GIRL SEEN
WELL BY APRIL |
Mother Hopes Patient Will
Be Completely Awake
by Spring.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 3.-Sleeping
Patricia Mcguire Is obeying her moth
er's orders-after 80 months OF
slumber she is awakening.
The mother, Mrs Sadie Miley, said
today she hopes Patricia will be fully
awake by April /, fully recovered from
her mysterious ailment, to celebrate
her 30th birthday anniversary with
her family.
It was a mothers intuition that
caused Mrs. Miley to peer into her
daughters staring eyes only q few
days ago and sense that she would
respond"
Followed Directions.
Taking q pad and pencil, the
mother wrote:
pat, raise your index finger"
The girls eyes wavered over the
paper, then steadied. For the first
time since February Is, 1882, Patricia
responded. She raised her index
finger.
Patricia's sister, Mrs. Gladys Han
sen, was called, and the experiment
was repeated. This time, as hidden,
the patient raised two fingers. Since
then Patricia has responded to SIM
liar instructions, written on q slate
and placed before her eyes.
Mother Succeeds.
Where science had failed. where
physicians had exhausted their every
resource, a mother succeeded.
Full recovery. however. is not yet
assured. Apparently Patricia is not
yet able to coordinate ear and mind.
To her mother-the mother who
says. 81 am the only one who has
always believed she would recover
this is but another obstacle like that
which has been overcome Now, at
least, there is an apparent ability to
coordinate eye and mind.
