Michelson, famous physicist at the University of Chicago, by meuns of which It is hoped more accurately to measure the velocltv of light. "I hope to be tble by next summer to announce that the speed of light has been measured so accurately that the error will not be more than a couple of miles per second," Professor Michelson said. Professor Michelson was reticent concerning the details of the materials used in his latest test of light velocity. He said, however, that they deaj with an improvement in tli handling of mirrors which wuld enable the scientist to hnve a better control of the light rays. As to the value, he snld that if we could measure light so we knew the velocity of light to the extent of one part in n miUion It would enoble us to use It as a substitute for the elaborate trigonometrical surveys, such as determining the distance between two mountains from 50 to 100 miles apart. More accurate light measurements would aid us In gaining a more accurate knowledge of the stellar universe. It might also be of aid to artillery officers, especially the coost artillery, in the preparation of firing data.
