Position of Stars and Planets May Be Changed by Observer Using New German Projector
(Science Review)
Imagine a very clear night sky — the sort of sky that one sees from a mountain, far from the lights and the horizon. Unlike the night sky ordinarily seen by people, the milky way can be seen down to the horizon and thousands of stars glare on its surface wherever. And as imagination cht has written, it implies that by some division conferred between this sky can be altered at the will of man, so that this sky could be importe to appear as the sky would be seen.
from any part of the earth, from the north to the south, or as it has the right to do, or will appear in the distant future. Of course, such things cannot be done with the real sky, but precisely because of a wonderful new instrument that has been installed in a number of European cities, which are returning from Germany told of this instrument—the planetarium—which was on exhibit in the great exhibition at Coventry.
Zinc Process Improved
Electrolysis Method to Be Used in Ore Extraction
At the present time all the over
from this district are being treated
with special care, and even that
has always been unanticipated by
cause of the large amount of are
of these patients.
Discoveries and improvements which give fair promise to completely revolutionize the industry of the extraction by electricity, of sine oils in the Kansas-Missouri-Oklahoma region have received the most attention of the department of mechanical metallurgy. Professor Kinsey's work has been prompted by the desire to increase the amount and to leave the cost of electrical power below $100.
The method, which has been perfected by Mr. Khiney, confirms essentially in getting the zine of the ore and in getting the zinc acid. The resulting sulphate is then leached from the worthless parr of the ore and the pure zinc precipitated electrically. Such success has led to a reduction in the traction as high as 98 per cent and metallic pearl of a purity of 99.9 percent is obtained in the laboratories here. By the old report however the pearl was found that the treated has not been over 70 per cent.
The instrument, which is the a suit of the ingenuity of Dr. W. Bauerfield, one of the engineers a decade ago, is the dome, a glorified stereopeon, or magic linterm. It is set up in the center of a 190-foot dome lined with a hundred lenses project the images of hundreds lenses project the images of the stars on the dome. These lenses are located around the two large bulbs at each end of the instrument, as shown above. The wide vide for turning the instrument to simulate the effect of the earth's rotation, while other motors turn it manually. The telescope moves the stars seen from other latitudes. In the cylindrical part of the machine are projectors for the sum, the moon, and perhaps other objects that extremely accurate mechamism moves these planet projectors, so that their images on the dome closely duplicate those on the moon. Such types. But motions which take years to be completed in the heavens, can be run through in a few minutes with the planetarium, thereby explaining why the images cost thousands of words of lecturing.
The process of electrolysis was first tried by the government during the world war at Kewakol, In., but was abandoned. The main reason that this process had not been perfected before war was that the cost of power in electrolysis was relatively high. This matter is now being thoroughly investigated and it is hoped that some satisfactory results will be obtained in the near future.
Importance of the project is more fully realized when we consider that the amount of money in Canada alone in 1924 amounted to over $312,000,000. It is not hard to conceive the enormous cost of the new program if the new process had been used$^2$.
then a dozen German cities, including Berlin, Hamburg and Dusseldorf, have installed them as educational exhibits; Vienna has also obtained one, while others have been ordered for each country, Denmark, and for Moscow, Russia.
When the first planetarium will be installed in the United States is problematic, but it will probably be in place soon. The new installation in America would cost something like $200,000, including the building, as an educational exhibit or a cultural center where small admission fees are charged, they have gone far toward paying for themselves. Doubleday the space could be done in the United States.
The question is one of increasing importance in this state for that reason. This discovery of Professor Kinnny and the authorities in the field over the entire country, he has spent more than fifteen years in the work and the process which he has perfected merely by putting cost of power to be put into effect.
Librarian Accepts Place at Harvard University
T. W. L. Schleiteman, classifier in Watson Library since July, 1926, has assigned his place to accept a position as computer administrator, Baker Library, Harvard University, work with Mark Harrell will be in the entailment cataloging and permeate later on he will be assigned to the foreign publishing designation.
Mr Schelldon received his degree from the Landaurohose school, Washington, in a way to the agricultural colleges in the United States. He speaks the German, French and Spanish, and has a熟知 knowledge of Scandinavian and Spanish. During the last semester here at the University of New York, he attended Norwegian and Spanish. His ability to read and knower these languages will prove beneficial in receiving the position at Harvard.

Drop in Tuberculosis Mortality Is Recorded; Cancer Fall
Is Increased
New York, Feb. 18. The fourth
nation in history was in 1927. Only 8
deaths for every 1,000 persons is
recaused for a group of injured wom-
gers that numbers one-thousand of the
United States and Canada.
If the death rate of 1925 had prevailed, 83,000 persons among the insured group now living would have reached 47,600 by 1925. The years ago, 114,111 had not been reduced 33 per cent to the present figure, little changed. By 1925, 78,750 more insured persons

continuing health fact of 1927 when the big storm in the town of Norfolk, England, caused 600, representing a decrease of 4.5 per cent from the previous minimum of deaths from the worst white plague in New York City. The reduction applies to all parts of the country, rural and urban, colored and uncolored, campuses and branches of industry.
Three of the diarrhea of childhood, meningitis, scarlet fever and whiplash attacks were fatal. Rates, while influence and permeability reached uninterrupted, few records. Never, except in the years immediately following the demise of 1918 and 1919, has there been an big a turn in the number of cases from those much discussed illnesses.
To counterbalance these grunting returns, the tail of cancer was higher than ever before and that of diabetes was lower. This results in the rate of the increasing use of insulin. This, however, is no ground for drawing the conclusion that insulin is effective. Static studies declare that the incidence of cancer is increased, and that without insulin the

Scientists to Befriend the Ridiculed Persimmon
Washington, Feb. 13. The native Americans persimmon, which has long been an object of much hour-apprehension in the past, is now venerated, is booked for a course of improvment which may put it into the class of highly desirable orchard fruit.
According to a communication in the Journal of Heredity which will soon be issued, a search is being made for *Aurelia* species containing few fruits. Such specimens are known to occur occasionally in nature. Robert T. Morris of Stiffland, Conn., is undertaking to推广 seedless lettuce as a substitute for the part of the range of the species, and Dr. J. E. Cannaday of Charleston, W. Va., will cultivate trees found in the south. The research on a needless perennial tree to correspond with them.
A. J. Mix, professor in the department of botany, who has been ill at his home for more than a week when he was born, says morning. If his condition continues to improve it is thought he will be able to meet his classes the first of the day.
Dean Havenhill, of the School on Harmony, is now engaged in proofreading a recipe book which is being prepared by the committee of revision of the text. The committee's recommendation, Dean Havenhill is now of men officers of this committee of revision.
