Prof. Hutchins of Bowdon will remain in
Brunswick this summer and work on the re-
hecting telescope he is constructing. He in
tends to observe The total eclipse of the moon,
July 1928, and will then measure its heat by
the radiometer he has invented. The process
is simple one. A long narrow box painted
black inside, with one end open, contains a
silvered mirror, which collects the moons
rays and heat. The mirror is slightly in
clined to one side, and the collected rays are
thus thrown back to the radiometer which is
placed at one side in the open end of the box.
Even the most delicate reflections are easily
read by means of galvanometer indicator.
