there. and at the other observatories
simultaneously. If the measurements
should agree, the present scientific by
pothesis-that there are distinct diff
ferences of solar radiation-will have
been proved.
DR.. c. G. Abbott of the Smit hsonian
institution, is in charge of the work
and has issued the following state
ment regarding it:
When We began to make these
measurements there was nowhere in
the world an exact scale of mea sure
ment of radiation. although physic.
lists had been working in devising in.
struments for that purpose for sixty
years. There remained an uncertain,
ty of 10 10 per cent in the scale OF
pyrhelioemtry. as ii is called. We
have devised several instruments to
be used as standards for that purpose
and in this last year we have made a
careful comparison of two of our in
struments of the improved type. and
these agreed perfectly in fixing the
scale of measurements.
The apparatus is used now as a
standard by which TO standardize 9TH
err apparatus, which has been sent
around the world. We have sent in
struments TO France and Italy. and
have requests for them from Argen-
tina. Peru. and other countries.
Our measurements at Mt. Wilson
have been carried on for several
years. The first expedition was in
1905, and we have observed almost
daily for six months of each year
since that time. excepting in 1907. In
1910 | was fortunate in having two
weeks of good weather on the summit
of Mt Whitney. which is the highest
mountain in the United States | car
ried on there complete measurements
which were Simultaneous with those
carried on at Mt. Wilson. We have
found that the results obtained at Mt
Whitney check and substantiate COM
pletely the work we were doing at
Mt Wilson. Therefore, having estab-

lished standard scale of measure
ment, and having shown that we get
the same results at Washington, Mt
Whitney and Mt. Wilson, we are now
able to state the value of the solar
constant of radiation. This value is
of an Importance equal to that of the
distance of the sun In Astronomical
work Our measurements show a
range of the value of the solar radia
about s per cent.
Now. by taking stations so far
apart. that no local condition in the
atmosphere can affect them both, we
may actually prove whether or not
these variations are in the sun. or
are something we have not eliminated
from the atmosphere. If we find them
in the sun. We shall have made dis
covery of the first rank
1T is clear that if the sun varies
the temperature of the earth must
vary correspondents. perhaps not al

10 find a relation between the radia-
ton of the sun and the temperature of
the earth. that will be important to
the meteorological service of this
country and others"
The valuable researches in solar
radiation made by Dr. Abbott have
been fittingly recognized by the sci
entific world. He was awarded the
Draper gold medal by the National
Academy of Sciences last year. He
has probably done as much to make
weather foreca sting accurate and re-
liable as any scientist in the world.

work of the weather bureau. it will

By RODERlCk CLIFFORD.

Washington, April 1.-Since con
gress made the long anticipated APP
preparation at its last session, long
range weather forecasting is likely to
become an accomplished fact. instead
of scientific dream. 1t is no often that
congress makes any real concession in
behalf of science. especially when the
latter asks money for experimental
purposes: but now and then, even in
an era of rigid economy. the national
purse strings loosen up.
Long range weather forecasting, ii
successful will be one of the greatest
achievements of modern science. 1t
will enable the prophets of the wealth
err bureau to be much more skilful
and accurate than heretofore. 1t is
based on the fact that there is. in
various portions of the North Ameri-
can continent. a variation in the
amount of radiation from the sun di-
rectly affecting weather conditions
When the amount of variation has
been ascertained. one of the most baf-
fling of scientific problems will have
been solved.
The Smithsonian institution is in
charge OF the work, and ii is planned
to establish an observatory in South
ern Mexico this coming summer. 1t
is hoped that by July the revolution
airy trouble will be over or at least
be reduced TO negligible quantity so
that the expedition can be undertaken
with safety.
Congress has provided for the trip
to Mexico by adding $4,000 TO the ap-
preparation regularly made for the
work of the astrophysical laboratory,
The object of the project is to COM
