THE AUTO IN ASTRONOMY.
New Use Found for the Horseless
Vehicles by the Men Who Study
the Heavens

The above title reads little like line
from Alice in Wonderland" but it is
perfectly serious. We are told by M.
Emile Touchet. adjunct secretary of the
Astronomical Society of France, who
writes in La Nature CParis) that auto
mobiles have been lately used by French
astronomers to transport observers and
material to some point where it is de-
sired to take observations during linn
tied time, as in the observation of shoot
ing stars. In order to calculate the
height of these meteors and the length
of their paths, they must be observed
from at least two points simultaneous
ly. The motor-car thus used as tenn
porary observatory is fitted up specially
for the purpose. M. Touchet writes:
ct is easy to understand the difficult
ties encountered in the practical or
ganiZatioA of a system of stations for
the study of shooting-stars, having at
once the proper conditions of distance
orientation and comfort, especially as
very often the observers, the 'volun-
teers of SCIENCE as M. Radau very hap
PLY terms them, have occupations that
require them to be absent daily.
1T may be seen thus why, in view OF
all these contradictory requirements
the plan was formed of using, for the or

Dr. Niels F'insen. those beyond IT
(Which have no part in the production of
light, but favor many chemical proc
esses), which had the most to do in pro-
ducing his cures.
By means of special apparatus,
whereby the heat of the suns rays was
distracted, and the useful rays were TO-
cused by powerful lens and directed on
the parts to be treated, DR.. Finsen and
other physicians who used his method
were able to cure many cases of skin
disease, including some forms of can
Ger, and especially lupus. The same
results were found to be produced by the
electric light as by sunlight, and as cleo
always at hand, in cloudy weather as
we'll as in clear, it is now generally
used by preference.
Light has curative action in other
cases. Light-baths, that is, exposure
of the unclothed body to the sun, are
found to be beneficial in general weak
ness, in consumption and in various
nervous affections
Light of a special color has also been

80 years ago 'blue-light craze" swept
over the country, and everybody and
everything were surrounded by blue
glass. The cure-all claims of those
who preached blue light were so abb
surd and full of exaggeration that the
fad soon died. But there was germ
of good in it, and to-day some scien-
tific physicians, in Europe especially,
believe that it is useful in consump-
ton. neuralgia and other affections.
Red light was, very many years ago, be
lieved to be sovereign in the cure OF
smallpox. A son of Edward I. of Eng
land, was said to have been cured by
being wrapped in red cloth. DR.. Fin
sen revived this treatment, and it was
found that there was little or no pit
ting of the skin after smallpox, when the
patient was kept in room with rec
glass windows. The effect is believed
to be due to shutting off of the chem
| ical rays, and the same result is sale
to follow keeping the patient in darl
| room, or covering the face with 9

ganization of temporary stations, auto

ported to the proper localities observers
furnished with tins necessary ap-
paratus."
This plan was adopted, we are told, in
the neighborhood of Paris in 1903, when
the November shower of meteors took
place in exceptionally fine weather. OBJ
servers from the Chevreuse observatory
were sent by automobile to Authon-la-
PLANE, about Is miles distant Eighty
five meteors were observed at the two

height. From these it appeared that the
meteors appeared at a mean height of
104 kilometers GA miles) and disap-
peared at 76 kilometers (47 miles,, the
average length of path being 80 kilo-
meters (22 miles,. M. Touchet says:
The observations brought to light a
curious fact, which does not accord at all
with the generally received idea that OBJ
servations should be made during very
brief time and after complete rest of
several hours. Notwithstanding a
fatiguing day and four hours of unin-
terrupted observation each night, the
paths recorded at each station toward
the end of the night showed more pre-
cision than at the beginning; they were
also more concordan. on the second day
than on the first. 1t thus seems that
there was sort of progressive acquisi-
ton of skill, and that the quality of the
observations became better with time

of having a revolver knocked from the
