Not all the work of astronomy is done by the biggest telescope. The 100-inch reflector on Mount Wilson, turning away from its chief task of revealing -the maga-universe, the universe of universes, has just picked out two more moons of Jupiter's brood, but. hitherto the most successful moon-finder has been the 36-inch refractor on Mount Hamilton, which James Lick paid to put there in the hope of having the biggest and best telescope in the world for his funeral monument. He is buried beneath it, says E. S. Grew in "The Observer."
On Mount Palomar the work is steadily proceeding on the 200-inch reflector which is to enlarge the power and dominion of its 100-inch brother and help to carry a stage farther the question whether the greater universe is limitless, filled, as with worlds without end, with flying universes racing^away till light can no longer catch them up.
