Aladdin after having seen many remarkable sights while in charge of his student guide had decided apparently that he must lo something spectacular to bolster his own prestige. With a fine air of careless-Beit he rubbed the magic lamp.

A group ot six fine black horse appeared out of nowhere and pranced in front of the itudrnt. The collegiate guide ttlf.ed a yawn. He walked over to an automobile parked on the campus. -Look. Aladdin." he ald.

"By pressing this button I create the power of 100 horses In that little box on the front end of this mighty chariot. They will draw me with the speed of the wind, yet you cannot see them. Seek not to Impress me with thy paltry tricks." And they went on toward another building. Here." said the student, "we have the work! of a mighty magician, or of many magicians. Do you know.

Aladdin, what the weather will be the day after tomorrow? Aladdin fingered his white beard, started to rub his lamp, thought better of It and shook his head. "Well," said the student, these people do." He pointed to a large room containing many tables. Young men were busy at these tables placing cryptic symbols upon maps. "Come here. Aladdin," said the guide.

He led the way to a machine to the comer. No one was sear it but the machine was writing swiftly and accurately. "This," said the student. "Is a teletype. This writing that you tee is coming from many leagues away from men on the ground, from men high in the air, from men on shits In the middle of the sea.

The writingwhich you cannot read because it is In the symbols of weather forecasters tells the secrets of nature. The ycung men In this room, under the direction of Irving P. Krlck, take these facts, write them on their maps, use their brains a little and. presto, they tell you whether It will be fair, cloudy, loggy or rainy tomorrow and the next day. Incidentally, Aladdin, these young men have developed an entirely new and very accurate system of predicting the weather.

It is called the air mass analysis theory. Shall we go on?" Aladdin threw another small miracle as they went out the door it was a sort of talve for his feelings just to show that he wasn't whipped yet. He rubbed his lamp and a spot of light danced on the dark hallway through which they were going. The student glanced at the light, smiled to himself and took a small, tickling object out of his pocket. He held It up before Aladdin's eyes.

The old magician let out a whoop of terror and fled from the fiery fingers that seemed reaching for his throat. The student put his radium dial watch back in his pocket and the pair proceeded to another building. "Do you see that huge scaffold down there?" asked the student as they came out upon a balcony looking down into a huge, windowless room. "On that scaffolding the star gazers will place that ten-foot mirror which you see yonder. They will grind and polish it until it is as smooth as the cheek of a concubine.

Then they will use it to guide them In the polishing of a seventeen-foot mirror. "When they are done, Aladdin, they will bring the pockmarked moon within 100 miles of the earth and draw the sun ao close that they can almost bathe in the fiery vapors rising from its scalding heart. "They will plant their feet upon the stars and wring the untold secrets of aeons from the swinging Milky Way. Tell me, old man. can your magic lamp do this?" But Aladdin was beyond speech.
