MEDFORD MAIL, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. A3 WURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1S9 Comet Finlay Rediscovered In Aquarius Washington, (Sck -rv Ice)-The comet Fii... , ex pected to brighten enough this summer to be observed with moderate size telescopes, has just been rediscovered for the first time since its disap pearance in 1954. This comet was rediscov ered by Robert Burnham, the discoverer of several comets that bear his name. The Fin ley comet appears only every seven years. 1 It was originally discov ered in 1886. Since then it has been observed in 1893, J906, 1919, 1926, and 19515 54. It was not seen in 1933, , 1940 and 1947. The comet is now in the constellation of Aquarius in the morning sky. However, it is of 17th magnitude and only a photographic object. It is expected to brighten to 10th magnitude by Aug ust. By that time it will be 1 in the consteilation Taurus and should be bright enough to be seen with a mnrierate sized, amateur telescope. 17th Magnitude Discoveries of a new comet and a supernova have also been reported by Humarson. .The comet is o 17th magni tude. It is not known if it will brighten. It is located in the constellation of Herculus. The supernova was of 14th 'magnitude when discovered. "A nova is a star that sudden ly increases in brightness and then dims down again. A su pernova is about 100 times s bright as a nova. . News of the comet Finley, discovered at 1:02 a.m. (PST) June 21, and the comet and supernova, discovered respec tively on June 18 and 17, was reported to Harvard College 'Observatory, clearing house for astronomical information in the Western Hemisphere. Scientists Fight fire With Fire In Cancer Battle New York, (Science Serv-lce)-The latest strategy in the "war against cancer is to play ahe deadly game according to the enemy's rules-and beat liim at it. t A report released here by jthe Sloan-Ketterling Institute ior Cancer Research reveals .that deoxyribonucleic acid tDNA), the heredity-carrying chemical of some viruses, has teen isolated from a cancer inducing virus and has led to cancers in laboratory animals. Iany scientists believe the :DNA of the virus, not content .to control only its own here jdity factors, either alters or supplements the DNA in body cells. May Trigger Change This change in cellular DNA may trigger the change from normal to cancer. In fact, leukemic blood cells are distinguished from nor mal white blood cells by char acteristic differences in the PNA. Putting together the new est pieces of information gath ered by its own and other research groups, Sloan-Ket-tering's report indicates that if the cancer DNA can influ ence normal DNA it may be possible to turn the tables and chemically influence or de stroy the cancer DNA. ; Some of the chemical agents used against cancer ap pear to do just that-interfere tvith the cancer cell's manu facture of nucleic acid. Dif ferent chemicals may inhibit nucleic acid synthesis at dif ferent points in its manufac ture. Mechanism Pinpointed The Institute also reports hat the mechanism by which iancer cells become resistant to chemical treatment by de veloping new routes of nu-1 Cleic acid synthesis has now been pinpointed in several in stances. But this re-routing problem remains one of the major stumbling blocks in treating the disease with med ical agents. ' In a slightly different ap proach, advances in organic chemistry have made it pos sible to synthesize normal and abnormal components of DNA. It is hoped that the ab normal components will be taken up by cancer cells and will lead to their destruction. .Boy Loses Means Of Earning Nickels ' San Antonio, Tex. - Mrs. Peter Kohlner lold her son. -Billy, 7, ihe would give him a nickel for every ichool paper he brought home marked 100. : For two week., Billy brought home quite a few joo..
