New Telescope A Marvel. Technical World Magazine. Prof. Robert W. Wood, of the Johne Hopkins University, has perfected an invention--based on a discovery--that may revolutionize the costly and cum- hersome methods of studying the stars and exploring the universe for planets, suns, moons, and asteroids, Judging by the success the young scientist has had, the simplicity of the principle of his invention, and the comparatively small cost of models, the possibilities of his telescope are commensurate, to tho scientifie-literary visions of H..

Since the invention of the telescope, in the sixteenth century, it has boen the dream of a great part of the scientific. world to actually get glimpse of the life that possible exists on Mars and other planets: to secur some tangible proof of intellicent exis tence on the worlds around us.
