MIRROR OF QUARTZ.

THE MYSTERIES.OF. ASTRONOMY.

1

One-third of the major my steries of astronomy may be solved by the 200-inch telescope which is at present under construction in California, said Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of Harvard Ob- servatory, in a recent lecture to the American Philosophical Society, According to present plans, the mirror of the telescope will be made, not of glass, but of fused quartz, B. substance which expands very little in heating. This property is important, because so large a mass would not expand evenly, and a chango of temperature would, therefore, result in some loas in the sharpness of the image.

The construction of so large mirror is inevitably experimental, but it is understood that the method has been successful in the case of smaller models..

Problem of the Poles,

Giving a list of the ten chief pro- blems of astronomy, Dr. Shapley 'said that one-third of them might

The irregularities in the rotation of the earth constitute one of the most interesting of outstanding problems. "At present," he con tinued, "we cannot prophesy the future positions of the Poles. If Commander Byrd hit the exact South Pole with the American flag, the Pole will soon move away, and give another observer a chance. In any case, the probability is that sooner or later the flag and the Pole will coincide."

Among the other problems which Dr. Shapley enumerated are the birthplaces of comets, the number of dwarf stars, the running away of external galaxies, and the bounds of the universe.
