Fly's Wing Tests Stars
Delicate Apparatus Measure Celestial Light
Halcone Standard
Washington, Using bits of the wing of a fly, hang on a thread spun out of a rock, to measure the radius of the wing and sounds like a fantastic medieval fairy tale. But it is so sater, twentieth century science, that a meeting of the National Academy of Sciences here today, Dr Charles Abbas, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, will be given.
Bits of the wings of common flies, about one twenty-fifth of an inch high find one seventy-fifth of an inch larger. In the bird's rattle. Three of these bits were joined together, forming a T-shaped figure. This was suspended on a thread span from melted quartz, and was used to make flies almost no resistance to twisting.
With this almost unimaginably delicate apparatus it has been possible to detect the force and analyze the variety of light received from the camera. With a magnitude of 3.5 magnitude--among the smaller star visible to the naked eye.
Not many citizens of Kansas realize that the state contains a large number of sharp-pointed mountain peaks, whose summits are surrounded by low land, say; K. K. Landez, professor of geology at the University of Kansas. Furthermore, these mountains are not covered in snow, but are carved out of massive granite and allied rocks. However, fortunately for the state's agriculture, even the highest of these mountain peaks do not rise above our present limit.
Starlight permitted to fall on one side of the apparatus made it swing round. How much it swung could be measured by a tiny light-beam reflected from a mirror mounted with a graduated scale twenty feet distant.
Kansas Mountain Range Is Called Granite Ridge
Many millions of years ago this entire section of the country salted the ocean and ocean waters poured in and washed the flanks of the mountains and even the coasts.
into this great arm of the ocean the river flowing over distant lands bringing sediment, and through countless years this sediment accumulated on the sea floor until eventually not only the low lows but also the high lows were buried. Then the land rose again, and the weasel withdrew.
stream came into existence on the new made land and curved out the old land, which the stream has as yet created deeply enough to uncover the old granite
It was not until a very few years ago, when man in his search for oil drilled deep within the earth, that the south Kansas was discovered. In the last ten years hundreds of wells have been drilled deeply enough to encounter this old land surface, and from there north Kansas was found. It knows fairly definitely the topography of ancient Kansas, at least in the eastern portion of the state. Most of the mountain so far discovered on the southern part enters the southern part of the state along the Cowley-Sumner county line, and trends northeastward into Nebraska passing out of Kansas near the Missouri River. County in northern Kansas even the highest peaks are buried several thousand feet, but in northern Kansas the ridge is higher and the peaks come to within 500 feet of the sur-
But even if these mountains do not rice above the present surface of Kansas they have been given a name, Gran Corn Ridge, while other call this row of peaks the Nema Mountain afar. "We're here" they lie at the shallowest end.
Study at Northwestern have been dealt with by the student in some ways, but satisfaction and guilt have been suspended from the courses and thereby received an abrupt dismissal.
Commencement draws near and Lander's are offering appropriate gifts for that occasion.

Fifty years ago, Clownemore was a most famous man in France. He was also involved in the fact that he had no friends; he and friends were millimeters around him.
But that was 50 years ago and half a century has changed things. Tollywood has become so popular in his tiny flat near the American Embassy, naturally, through the day and night.
Clementene does not fear death, but there is no question, he has been severely battered by the rapid deaths of women when he greatly admired and loved.
"It is the tragedy of old age that we must see our friends go before us," he told me when I went to him to mourn his death, the death of Amalgaser, Herrick.

Geneva — (UIP) — The leading powers, after several years of deadlock, made great strides toward actual disarming with the United States pointing to the importance of delegation to the preparatory dormant conference, received instructions from their governments which made it highly probable that an effort would be made to convict a new member of a conference in Washington next year.

Present Generation Not So Bad in Comparison, According to His Report
Georgetown, D. C—Dean of men at George Washington university, Henry Grattan Dayle, who has been making an extensive effort to support American colleges of today, made a detailed report of his findings at the annual convention of the association of deans and men at Washington, D. C recently.
Dean of Men Makes Survey of Conduct of Modern Students
to His Report
The purpose of the survey was to contribute something toward the correction of the erroneous opinion that has of the college student of today.
Diction Rewarded
In spite of public opinion regarding the conduct of the modern college student, the Doyle survey shows that in the opinion of the deans and presidents of the American colleges, the student of today has higher ideals than the student of the past preceding generation in the history of the country.
Dean Doyle propounded the follow

The general concerns of the replies received to the questions showed that the ideas and context of the present discussion prevailed among past generations. Also it was found that the "collatee" type was very much in the minority on most masters.
