Y.,Dec. 2.?Twenty tons; of glass, which five years hence will furnish the "eye" for the world's largest telescope, were poured into a giant mold today at the Corning Glass Works, a world center of the glass-making art. It was epochal in the world of science because it was the first step in the most daring venture astronomy ever has undertaken? the casting of a 17-foot mirror designed to Yeveal objects one billion light ^ears distance. , .. ?y The first attempt toXast the mirror last March ended ir^Mailure when cores in the mold broke loose and floated to the surface, but that difTjUj culty was not present today as a new | type of core anchorage was used and proved he successful. 7*The pouring required seven hours. But it was only one of the many steps which remain before the "eye" will t>? mounted in a telescope on Mount Palomar in southern California. Tomorrow the giant lens will "be placed in ?n electric annealing oven where be cooled a degree a day j a proce^l**Cliat will require upproxi-j mately ten months. Then three years, will be spent in grinding the mirror, I which will see four times further than| '"Any telescope ever has ranged before,! to perfection. The surface must be1 true to within one-tenth of the length of a wave length of light, a fraction of about one-millionth of an inch. The pouring of the glass proved to be one of the most dramatic scenes of Anierica's industrial history. The huge plant was filled with fiery furnaces and ladles of red hot glass. v Each move was carefully planned for the slightest mistake would have' ruined the $6,000,060 project. After the pouring was completed the officials of the glass works, from the president down shook hands with i every workman and congratulated him on a "perfect job."

Sale Of Bonds Now Under Way The public seams to be taking well to the health bond und health seal sales campaign, now in progress in Camden and Kershaw County * and if the interest continues as it has -been developing so far, it is probaWTthat the county will be able to secure the services of a part-time nurse who will visit and treat Tubercular patients and teach the people how to deal with and to prevent its spread. At this time there are not less than one hundred active cases of Tuberculosis in Kershaw County, and this number is sure to increase unless effective preventive measures be adopted. The more bonds und seals sold t the greater the assurance of our having a full or part-time nurse to aid in combatting this plague. Every' I man and woman in the county should j be interested in this fight and in the J ciisti ibution of these seals and bonds. I Below we give a list of the organij stations and individuals who have purchased bonds up to this time. Those In charge of the sale believe that this list will be greatly lengthened by next week.
