Good pasture after working for more than a year on monkeys, ascertained that a swelling of the animal's parotid glands (Jaws) invariably followed in oculation with saliva from human beings suffering with mumps. ! "The experimental disease can be produced at will," Dr. Johnson stated, "and It la Judged that this virus, which does not correspond with any known virus familiar to us, Is the causative agent of mumps." The doctors continue their experi ments with the newly discovered vi rus and expect shortly to develop an Immunizing agent and a serum for treatment of the disease.

(UP) Dr. Edwin Hubble, astronomer of the Carnegie Institution's Mount Wilson Observa tory, believes, he has obtained a sam ple of the universe which lies beyond the reach of present-day scientific instrument!. For several years Dr. Hubble has been focussing a 100-inch- telescope on the realms of the nebulae -systems of stars described as "swarms of bees drifting through the air" far beyond the outermost limits of the system embracing our sun and planets. Tiny Patches of Light. Although the nebulae nearest the earth are large and bright,' the as tronomer disclosed the majority are so distant that through a telescope they appear faint patches of misty, vaporous light. This Is the frontier of the known universe the frontier which bounds a vast sphere, 600,000,000 million light years In diameter, throughout which are scattered 100,000,000 nebulae. At a recent meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Hubble de scribed the characteristics of the uni verse thus revealed and expressed the opinion that the observable region is a fair sample of the universe lying beyond the reach of present-day In struments. Nebulae Uniform. He said the distribution in space of the observable nebulae waa ap proximately uniform and that If the known region of the universe were divided into 100. 1,000 or even 10.000 equal parts, the nebulae contents of each division's respective parts would be si ml Is r. Although he believes the realm of the nebulae stretches far beyond the frontiers of the universe now observ able, Dr. Hubble found no Indication of a super-system of nebulae analog ous to a grander system of stars. AT PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (UP) A ma chine which, when completed, will weigh more than three tons and will think faster than the human brain, Is being built In the Moore School of Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania here. It Is called a differential analyzer and Is the second of its kind in the world. The first was constructed sev eral years ago at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The new machine, however, will be bigger than1 its predecessor, having a length of 26 feet and a width of 10 feet. Work on the machine was made possible by a portion of the CWA funds which were distributed In this district. According to engineers, the differ ential anaylzer can do In 16 minutes the work which would take a dozen expert mathematicians a week to complete. While the machine can be used in all branches of engineer ing, It will especially aid In calculat ing firing t ranges by the army and navy. Mouse Butlt Typewriter Home WICHITA, Kan.
