The United States Is far in the lead
Of any other nation in the develop
ment Of practical meteorological science,
and be 1t said to our credit that the
government maintains under the ad-
ministrative guardianship Of the
Smithsonian institution an astro.
physical observatory, the only station
Of its kind In the world.
It is at this astrophysieal observa-
tory under its director, Prof. G. G. Abb
bott, that many epoch-making dis
coveries have been made, among
them being the fact that the sun
gives the earth only half as much heat
as has been commonly supposed by
astronomers, and that the radiation of
this heat is variable instead of con-
stant. and. further. that man is pro-
tected from one-half the heat given to
the earth by the operation of atmos-
pheric conditions These, and many
other facts of Importance and interest
have been ascertained after years Of
painstaking effort and observation, and
astronomers and meteorologists who
have known the direction of the inves-
legations have been eagerly awaiting
the announcements Of these results,
and which have just been made public
through government publication.
Speaking Of the suns radiation
Prof. Abbott says:
The sun is the promoter Of all life
on earth, and maintains the earth It.

does this through the rays which II
sends to the earth. and it is our first
interest to learn the amount Of these
rays available to us. Exaggerated es-
Inmates have prevailed for the last
80 years.
I'VE find the average tensity OF the
suns radiation to be two units in the
scale adopted for such measurements.
Our computation that the average
intensity Of the suns radiation is two
means that it is two calories per
square centimeter per minute. These
are strange terms to most people. A
