of 80 Square Feet.
New Huven, Conn. Prof. Frank
Sdileslnger, director of Tale university
observatory, has perfected what is to
bn known as the Zenith camera. Final
experiments carried out here for over a
month have proved successful. What
' Is to be the exact value of this new
"find" for the field of astronomy is, of
course, unknown, but men well versed
in scientific study of the heavens have
already planned Important tasks for

The ontlcul nrlnclnles of the Zenith
1 camera were perfected some years ago
by the English astronomer royal,
' George Airy, but all the new automatic
features were designed and perfected
by Professor Sdileslnger, who first
started work upon the Instrument in
Kill. For the last year Yale's noted
astronomer worked vigorously for the
completion of the camera, and except
. for u few minor changes It Is now able
to achieve all for which . It was
planned. '
Accurate Measurements.
By photographing certain stars as
they come Into focus, the Zenith camera
makes possible accurate measurements
of the varying latitudes of this world.
The focus of i the camera Is directed
through a huge telescope, 'so placed
that only those stars passing exceeding
ly close to the zenith will be photo
graphed.' plate is Inserted In the
camera tit nightfall and, after figuring
a time scale with utmost accuracy, a
delicate clock system In alarm form is
carefully a'ttuched. Then all action Is
automatic until the plate Is removed by
an operator before morning light harms

shutter of the camera opens and any
stars wlth'n focus leave a sharply de
fined path on the plate as they pass
westward beside, the zenith. After a
few seconds the shutter closes and a
valuable picture Is ready for the me
thodical calculations of astronomical
. science.
By measuring distances between Cer
tain stars appearing on the picture
various positions of the north pole are
found. And since it has recently been
discovered that the "pole", does not
stay at the same point on the earth's
surface, but wanders about in a space
80 feet square, such findings are of
intrinsic value. Explorers in the Far
'North could possibly locate the pule
within a mile of its proper position.
The zenith camera can locate It within

cause is so obscure that astronomers

siderable Increase in the number of in
struments suitable for such findings.
There are only five in the world, three
of them in this country. In , accord
with this Idea, Professor Schleslngek' is
hopeful that his camera may prove en
tirely successful and that it will be
generally adopted and necessary obser
vations made with It without additional
expense at other points.
Study of the north pole field alone
has brought many Interesting discov
eries, chief of which are: the earth,
taken as a whole, Is as rigid as the
strongest structural steel and the land
in the northern hemisphere is creep
ing northward at the rate of one foot a
year. This latter, although apparently
insignificant, Is of major Interest to
science.
When Tale's new 20-Inch telescope is
set up in some land south of the equa
tor, probably New Zealand or South
Africa, the zenith camera will be used
to study and measure the stars of the
southern heavens. -

BONE HARPOONS FOUND IN
ENGLAND ARE PREHISTORIC
Antiquarians Verify Fact of An
' cient Life in Britain.
London. The fact that prehistoric
humans existed In the British Isles
has been verified again by the reports
of two learned committees just pub
lished In the Anthropological Journal,
Manchester. These reports absolutely
vindicate the authenticity of two bone
harpoons which were found beneath
the peat at Holderness, Yorkshire.
One harpoon is 4H inches long; the
other, 10 Inches. Their interest' is
great, as from certain peculiarities
they are now proved to be the work
of Maglemose men so called from
Maglemose, Denmark, where many
extraordinary relics of very early
man have been uncovered. The age
of the Maglemose man may be any
thing from 10,000 to 20,000 years B. C,
when, the North sea was dry, when
land connected Denmark with York
shire and Scotland and when the Dog
ger bank was covered with forests.
Leslie Armstrong of Sheffield, a dis
tinguished anthropologist, read a pa
per on these harpoons at tlie Hull
meeting of the British association last
not however, to show contempt for the
birth control advocates, Tut is intended
to hold up the mother of a large family
as a person of distinction In the vil
lege. The old native Idea was to de
spise the mother of many children.
The officials set about to change the
prevailing thought and the recent cen
sus report would tend to show fflat
they have started In the right manner.
Colonel Murray's report on the indus
try and thrift of the natives explodes
another theory of the life of the
South seas as being one long rest be
neath palm trees, with : dark-skinned
maidens hovering in the background. '
This impression evidently is quite In
correct, and even the tendency of the
native toward a little cannibalism and
head hunting has given vay, under
the Influence of the British officials, to
more peaceful pursuits of farming and
road-making. ,

last name was Cohen, ,and when
Magistrate Sweetser allowed
each woman to take turns call

either name readily.
'Then the dog was put in the
middle of the floor, the, judge
said "Go," and the Pom trotted
to Mrs. Cohen. Magistrate
Sweetser said she could keep It.

September. Mr. Sheppard, curator of
the Hull museum challenged their
authenticity, declaring them to ' be
forgeries not more than thirty years
old. Subsequently, they were careful
ly studied by two expert committees
whose reports have now , appeared.
They were compared with four har
poons from Kunda, Esthonin, which are
unquestionably of Maglemose date,
and were proved Identical .with thtm
in type, color and chemical condition
of the bone. The lines of cuttltjg
were also. Identical.
The two harpoons are declared gen
uine, and Prof. Sir W. Boyd Dawkins,
one of the greatest living authorities
on anthropology, writes : '
"I have no hesitation in saying that
the charge that, they are forgeries U
absolutely without foundation."
Further confirmation of his view Is
afforded by the discovery of a very
similar harpoon under the peats at
Bethune, In France. "
The harpoons are in the possession
of W. Morfitt of Atwlck. : Similar har
poons, with other bone Implements of
the Maglemose period, have been
found at Oban. In the famous Mac
Arthur cave. ; y

audience, Clarkson, of Charlotte, was
sworn In as associate justice of the
North Carolina supreme court by
Chief Justice Walter Clark. It was
the first time the oath of office has
been administered in open court to a
new' Justice since the court moved
Into the present building.
Court was formally opened by
Marshall Delanly Haywood. Then
followed the induction of Mr. Justice
Clarkson, and the highest tribunal
began its deliberations with the Char
lotte jurist as one of its members.
The new associate justice was pre
sented to the court by Charles W.
TUlett. Sr., of the law firm of Tlllett
and Guthrie, Charlotte. Mr. Tlllett
was presented by Assistant Attorney
General Frank Nash. Introducing
Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Tlllett paid him a
glowing tribute. He declared him to
be a man dominated by justice, and a
fightc,( too. He told of his long
acquaintanceship with the new court
member and smilingly reminded the
other justices of his fighting qualities.
With that dignity that at all times
characterizes the man, Mr. Clarkson
mounted the platform and, holding
the Bible In his right hand, took the
oath that gave him his official status.
He took his seat and assumed his
duties.
Leaders in the legal profession,
representative men and, women of the
state professional men .business men
and ministers made ifp the audience
that filled the courtroom for the in
duction ceremony. Governor Morris
on, with his little daughter, Angella
was present, occupying a seat next to
the new associate justice prior to the
administration of the oath. Next to
Mr. Clarkson sat his wife, who has
scores of friends In Raleigh, and who
accompanied her husband here early
this morning. '
. Also from the new jurist's home
town, besides Mr. Tlllett, were Capt.
and Mrs. Walter Clark, Jr., Carolla
Talliaferrio, Mr. Clarkson's law part
ner; Hamilton C. Jones and Charles
W. Tlllett Jr.
As-' the . youngest member' of the
court In point of service, Mr. Clark
son took the chair of Justice W. J.
Adams, who moves Into the chair of
Justice Stacey. Mr. Stacey occupied
the chair of the late Justice Walsjer;
Justice Stacey affd Justice Hoke, by
precedent, occring the chairs next
to Chief Justice Clark by reason ' of
, their terms of service, . and Justice
Adams and Justice Clakson, the young-
est members taking the other chairs.
Appointed Relief Commissioner.
Rev. George R. Gillespie, of Gas
tonia, has been appointed Near East
relief commissioner from North Caro
lina this summer and will join the
party which will investigate condi
tions In the stf!cken Bible lands and
report to Congress on the needs for
next year, announcement was made
by Colonel George H. Bellamy, state
chairman for this great humanitarian
organization.
Mr. Gillespie will said from New
York July 4 on the Leviathan and
will spend 10 weeks in Armenia, Per
sia, Syria and Constantinople, and
other smaller countries of the Near
East', less the time required for ocean
travel. He was appointed to this
post last year but at the last minute
his church board refused to grant him
leave of absence after it was too late
to arrange for an alternate.
Mr. Gillespie's first stop will be at
Constantinople, where the Near East
relief maintains a number of refugee
camps, orphanages, rescue houses and
hospitals for the unfortunates who are
caught in. the maelstrom of .Turkish
hate for Christianity and are unable
to find refuge in other countries
owing to immigration red tape. These
people are kept alive solely by the
efforts of the American people through
the Near East relief.
Mr. Gillespie will then sail for
Batum through the Black Sea and will
go from there to Erlvan, the capital of
Armenia, which' Is at the base of his
toric Ararat. From there he will go
to Habriz and from there to Bagdad
and' Mesopotamia.
