STARS SEND HEAT.
Proved by Experiments Made by u
Dartmouth Professor

Kansas City Star.
Whether the stars, millions of miles
away, send to the earth's surface any
heat along with their rays of light, a
question which has long puzzled astrono-
mers, may have been finally solved. The
heat from these far-off bodies has not
only been detected, but measured, it is
claimed 1t has been measured by one
of the most delicate and sensitive astro-
nomical instruments ever made-an in
strument capable of measuring the heat
of candle mile away.
The credit for solving the problem and
for constructing this delicate instrument
belongs to Prof. E. P. Nichols, of Dart
mouth college. The experiments were
however, performed at the Yerkes OBJ
serVatory Of the University of Chicago
where Prof. Nichols spent two of his
summer vacations. The results obtained
from these experiments have just been
carefully reviewed and computed and
sent to Prof. George E. Hale, director
of the observatory.
Prof. Nichols experiments at the Yerkes
observatory have for the first time prov
ed, beyond a doubt. that the planets and
some of the fixed stars send an appre
ciable quantity of heat to the earth. The
quantity, however, is so minute that the
wonder is that an instrument could be
made sensitive enough to detect it.
The instrument which can record such
an infinitesimal amount of heat is called
radiometer. Though based to some ex-
tent upon the same principle as the bolo-
meter and radiomicrometer, which have
been so successfully used in measuring
heat rays, in construction it is essentially
different, and for this purpose has proved
far more effective
1.-The bearing of these first measure
ments of stellar heat said Prof lEIe
upon the life history of stars is very
important, but general conclusions cannot
be drawn until further results can be
obtained. Prof. Nichols remarks that
the general rejecting telescope, with sill
vered glass mirror five feet in diameter
which is being constructed at the Yerkes
observatory, will be better adapted than
any other instrument for this delicate
work The glass lenses of a refraGting
telescope are quite opaque to some of
the heat waves which reach US from the
stars and for this reason a rejecting
telescope of the largest size must be
used in future experiments"
Prof. Nichols was assisted in this work
by Prof. Charles E. St. John, of Ober-
lin College and A l.. Cotton, formerly
assistant at the Lick observatory.
