be poured before Christmas, DR.. G.

The lens will replace a "cyclopean

but which developed imperfectionS
because of the intense heat. Pylons
in the lens mold broke away and
floated to the top of the glass mix
ture, leaving a smooth surface in
some sections instead of the holes
necessary to hold the eye in place
on the telescope.
The rejected disc, it was disclosed,
cost a quarter of a million dollars.
1t will be less expensive, DR.. Nc

While he laShed those who have

legality and VIC question its social
desirability. We DO not know how
