Pasadena Cal, JAM sl, Announce

gift Of $lO000,O00 10 tho Carnegie in-

nounced upon tbe work of Mount
Wilson solar obsei yatory caused much
citation among the scientists who e
discoveries the noted irunmastcr said
he counted Rpon to arrest the atton.
tloa Of the werld.
DR.. George Ellery Hale. director OF
the conservatory, is not now Oh the
peak, having gone abroad some
months ago for his health and being
ROW IN Rome, but Prof Walter s.
AdEms, assistant director, gave out
q statement covering the remarkable
discoveries announced by Dr. Hale
tdnrfng the past year, and giving an
.putline Of what MI Carnegie may on
-pect in the way Of yerdcation Of his
confident prediction that startling
astronomical discoveries are at hand
These discoveries, the scientists be-
heye,. will come in rapid sequence
.as soon rs the l00inch lens for thl'
new 20foot telescope is brought hero
from France anl installed.
May Make Weather Man infalibe.
Among the prospective discoytries,
.cr demonstrations, the one probably
Tor greatest interest to the lay mind
is tte effect OF sun spots upon the
atmosphere enveloping this planet
The deductions Of Or Hale and his
a ssistaut m2y revoiutionize present
theories of moteorology and make
weather predictions an exact science.
wien Mr. Carnegie was here at
the observatory year ago said Prof.
Adams, he declared DR. Hale was the
'gre9test astronomer in the world to-
aay Dr. Hale made the most wonder
u9dscovery oil the age a short time
hdore Mr. Carnegie's visit when he
aetermined definitely the sun spots
we're great electrical yertices moving
icross the sun like terrestrial cyclones.
we are now working on the prob
able effect of these sun spots on the,
earth and stars. we have already dis
covered that these spots do affect
both earth and stare maguetically and
have something to do with the mag
netic storms on the earth.
This is an old theory, but never
before was it definitely determined.
We were able to do it by means OF
our 60-foot tower telescope Our neW
l50-foot tower telescope will be com
pleted in a few months, the telescope
will be 150 feet long and the spec
troscopica instruments will be placed
80 fett below that making the entire
telescope go feet long There is
nothing like this anywhere in the
world; it win magnify the image OF
The sun many times more than the
present Telescope and we hope to
make many new discoveries and de.
ductiOns.
Reveals Thousands Of Minute Bodies.
I'VE have been using our great 60
inch reflecting mirror telescope for
two years, with which We have made
many excellent photographs OF the
sky, revealing thousands of objects
and stars never before seen Many OF
these objects are too small to be seen
with other Instruments, or if they
arc seen, the image is too small tO|
study the structure.
Most of our work is studying the
spectra OF the stars and adding our
results to those accomplished by other
obseryatories in working out various
problems. Prof Kapteyn of Holland,
has done much work with our big
so inch telescope He is engaged in
the distribution of the stars
in space, in order to get a clear con
eeption Of The universe We are help
ing him in this work and have found
out the motion of a lot of stars. Our
telescope gathers much light, which
