LARGEST TELESCOPE IN
WORLD BE ERECTED ON
PLATEAU NOT MT PEAK
(By The Associated Press)
PASADENA, Cal., Dec. 20—The
200-inch mirror, world’s largest
telescope which will provide the hu
man race with an "eye” to see ob
jects 400 million light years away,
will be placed on a plateau and not
atop a mountain peak as are many
of the great instruments now in use.
Selection of the site 45 miles north
of* San Diego followed exhaustive
tests for atmospheric conditions and
the examination of many proposed
locations.
Elevation Is 5,500 Feet
Crews are building a road to the
160-acre tract whcih lies at an ele
vation of 5,500 feet on the slopes of
Palomar mountain. The mountain
reaches a peak several hundred feet
higher up.
It may be four or five years be
fore the giant reflecting dick measur
ing 17 feet in diameter and cast at
Corning, N. Y., is ready to pene
trate into the far reaches of space,
but astronomers already are spec
ulating on what it will do.
Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of
the Carnegie Institute of Technology
estimates it will disclose objects so
distant that light traveling 6,00Q
billion miles a year would require
400 million years to reach the earth.
To Bring Moon ‘Closer’
‘‘This mammoth telescope,” said
Frederick G. Leonard of the Univer
sity of California at Los Angeles,
“may be expected to show about as
many stars in the heavens as there
are pepole on earth.” He said only
about 6,000 stars are visible to the
naked eye.
It should bring the moon which is
roughly 240,000 miles away, he said,
to “such close proximity it would
be possible to distinguish large build
ings.” He did not say, however, he
expected buildings would be found
on the moon.
Dr. Edwin F. Hubble, authority on
nebulae, also termed “Island Uni
verses.” great star systems like the
Milky Way, has concluded from a
survey that there are 75,000,000 neb
ulae within range of the 100-inch
telescope on Mount Wilson. The
200-inch reflector, he estimates,
should be able to reveal at least 2
and one quarter times this number.
Glass Presented Difficulties
Dr. George E. Hale, former direct
or of the Mount Wilson observatory
and now chairman of the council
for the new observatory, has “fath
ered” the 200-inch telescope project.
Unexpected difficulty was encount
ered in finding a glass which could
be cast in so huge a piece, about 20
tons, and would not crack or show
flaws.
One of 12Q inches was successfully
cast and shipped to the California
Institute, which is financing the pro
ject, and is being ground there to
use in testing the larger reflector
when it arrives.
Light only can be used in measur
ing and testing the paraboloid sur
face of the new mirror and this will
be reflected from the 120-inch glass,
which will have a pane surface.
Dr. J. A. Anderson, executive of
ficer, said three or four years would
be required to grind and test the
200-inch mirror.

SLOT MACHINES BANNED
FROM JUNEAU RESORTS
BY MARSHAL MAHONEY
Eighteen slot maachines, ten brand
new ones and eight that have been
collecting nickles and dimes in var
ious resorts about Juneau for some
time, were sent south recently, as
the result of a cleanup by the U. S.
Marshal’s office.
Con Ellingson, agent for the ma
chines, was fined $100 by U. S. Com
missioner J. F. Mullen on a charge
of operating gambling devices, and
given a short time to ship the ma
chines south with the alternative of
having them disposed of as junk by
the U. S. Marshal's office. Eight
were already in operation in var
ious resorts of Junepu and Douglas
and the ten new ones had been ship
ped north, but never left the dock,
U. S. Marshal Mahoney said.
