From Outer Space
Harvard College Observatory
is opening a new window on the
Universe,
There at its Agassiz Station
on a.remote New England hill-
side, ebeervatery officials and
their guests haye just dedicated
the largest radio, telescope of
its kind in the world,
It is designed for listening to
the faint cracklingof radio sig-
nale sent back by the gases of
outer space. By studying these
signals, astronomers are able to
trace features of the universe
that are hidden from ordinary
telescopes whiN work with vis-
ible light.
Construction costs and en-
dowment for this new radio
telescope project have run, close
to $500,000, They have been
financed by a grant' of $135,000
from, the. National Science
Foundation, which was supple-
mentethky private donors.
In essence, the new instru-
ment is just a huge, precise
radio receiver. With a higher
capacity for pinpointing fine de-
tails, it will supplement and ex-
tend the work of the 24-foot in-
tallation that Harvard has been
operating at the Agassiz Station
for the past three years. The 24-
footer also "was built with the
aid of an NSF grant.
Radio astronomy is a new
astronomical science, which has
grown active in the years since
World War 11.
As explained by Dr. Bart Bok,
codirector of Harvard's radio as-
tronomy program, it is based on
the fact that cosmic gases and
stars send out radio noises that
can be picked up by special
equipment and analyzed to tell
something about the nature of
their sources. Sometimes these
sources can be matched with
visible stars or nebulae. But
often they are invisible, and
can be traced only by the radio
pickup.
That is why radio telescopes
have added a large new dimen-
sion to astronomy. They have
literally opened another window
on• the universe. What is more,
this window is never closed. It
is open night or day, in good
visual, observing weather„. or in
bad.
The' new. radio ,telescope- will
help Harvard astronomers get a
clearer look through this win-
dow; With the greater resolving
power. of its 60-foot antenna,
it will be able to sharpen up
details that blur out with the
24-footer.
Dr. Bok said the smallest, re-
gion that the 24-foot instrument
can define is the apparent size
of three moons (about one and

To 'Make Fortune
Old Charlie Webb cursed
when another plogh-share snap-

Weary of farming amid the
tiresome outcroppings of green- -
ish gold stone he tried to sell
hie land, at Shipton, Quebec, as
rough pasture.
His cow-herding neighbour,
Jim Gifford, laughed derisively
when the field, was offered to
him for $50 back in 1881. Jim
didn't know he was turning
down the greatest opportunity

turned out ,to be the world's
greatest source of asbestos and
it soon brought Charlie Webb

tally inclined). The 60-foot an-
tenna will cut this area to the
size of ore' moon (about half a
degree).
Both the 24-foot and the 60-
foot instruments are designed
for specialized work in the radio
astronomy field. They work
mainly with certain "broad-
casts" from cosmic hydrogen
gas which come in on a wave
length of 21 centimeters. These
"broadcasts" first were detected
five years ago by Dr. Harold
Ewen, codirector of the radio
astronomy program along with
Dr. Bok and Dr. Edward S.
Purcell, Harvard physicst. i
In this 21-centimeter field,
whose scope includes tracing the
vast structure of the Milky Way,
the new Harvard instrument for
a time will be the largest at
work in the world. There are
larger radio telescopes operat-
ing in other fields, and several
larger 21-centimeter receivers
are planned or in construction.
But, even when these latter are
operating, the Harvard 60-footer
still will rank among the 21-
centimeter heavyweights.
The .antenna is a huge pre-
cision-made aluminum bowl
weighing 8,000 pounds and
which is centered at the top on
a conical pier set in a concrete
foundation 12 feet deep.
The telescope is classed by
the experts as "steerable." This
means it is controlled' by motors
that can tilt and turn it to face
any part of the sky and that can
drive it to keep pace with the
stars.
Because this large instrument
cannot be covered, the builders

A new fear has come to Afri-
ca. It's caused by4 the `beat of
millions of tiny wings. They be-
long to the quelea finch, a grain-
eating bird 'no bigger • than a
sparrow.
The' b ird s, which exist in
flocks of 5,000,000 ,or more, are
playing havoc with grain crops.
They are a greater pest than
the locust.
So fantastic are the quelea
hordes that people refused to
belieee early accounts that there
were such birds at all. A hun-
ter who came back from the
bush interior with a first-hand
account was called a liar.
He had chased a wounded
elephant all day and with the
evening wind rising he was rap-
idly closing in op his quarry.
Some distance ahead he heard
the crash of breaking branches.
Suddenly he heard a sound he
had never experienced before -
a shrill whistling and whirring
audible above the wind.
He came upon a flock oe birds,
but what a flock! Myriads of
tiny c r ea tu r e s, uncountable
numbers of fluttering wings.
The breaking' of branches had
not been his elephant. The com-
bined weight of millions of tiny
birds had torn . off branches al-
most twice as -thick as a man's
thigh. He could hardly believe
what he saw.
Since then the voracious little
pests have been recognized •as a
great African agricultural prob-
lem. In parts of Kenya, Tan-
ganyika, Somaliland, Su d a n,
Rhodesia and .South Africa, 'Af-
ricans have abandoned grain-
growing because• of the winged
menace.
. Flocks a mile long and wide,
blacking out the sun, are quite
common. When they settle, acres
of grOund - every leaf, twig
and blade of grass - are ob-
scured by tiny, fluttering bod-
ies.
There is no natural control of
the birds. Man has tried flame-,
and poison gas in, an effort to
throwers, bush fires, dyne-Mite,
reduce the birds to reasonable
numbees. It's like trying toenoVe

spoon:

hundreds. But there's no stop-

ish off :a •field of grain in' ten
minutes, while a thousand' men,

frantidally beating tins and
shouting themselves 'hearse, try
