HALF-A-MILLION NEW

STARS.

REVEALED BY NEW TELESCOPE.

THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

Sir Frank Dyson, the Astrono mer-Royal, is interested in tha new telescopo to be erected near Mount Wilson, California. tronomers anticipate that the instrument will bring 500,000 stars within range of their cameras, The power of the giant telescope is said to be about ten times greater than that of the

new

world's present largest telescope the Hooker telescope.

The new instrument will have n reflector of 200 inches in diameter.

The advice of experts all over the world has been placed at the disposal of my friend, Dr. George - Ellary Hale, a former director of the Mount Wilson Observatory, who is chairman of the council which will direct the work of erect. ing the telescope," said Sir Frank Dyson to }} London Evening Standard 'representative.

Thirty Tons Of Quartz. "Some idea of what may be ex pected of the new telescope may be grasped from the fact that with the Hooker telescope Mr. Hubble, the astronomer, was able to ascer tain that the Nebula, of An- dromeda, the light of which taken 1,000,000 years to reach the earth, was a system of stars, similar.in many ways to the Milky Way-in fact, another island universe. Ho was able to measure the diameter of certain stars that were pre- viously out of range.

This will be the first attempt to use fused quartz in making telescope reflectors. The use of quartz is a great advantage, be cause it is unaffected by changes of temperature such as effect the usefulness of glass and

other materials. It will be necessary to use a block of fused quartz weigh- ing 30 tons.
