STUDY HEAT OF SUN.
Smithsonian Scientists Would
Ascertain Its Variability.
DIRECTOR ABBOT RETURNS
Back After Five Months Conducting
Observations at Bassour,
Algeria.

Director Abbot Of the Smithsonian
astrophysical observatory has just re-
turned from q five-month astronomical
expedition to Bassour, Algeria. The OBJ
ject of the expedition was to confirm or
disprove the supposed variability of the
sun. The astrophysical observatory has
been for seven years making observations
on Mount Wilson, in California, on the
daily quantity Of heat received from the
sun. The observations are arranged in
the quantity of solar heat reaching the
earth. but also the quantity Of heat which
would reach a body like the moon, which
has no atmosphere.
The observations have indicated that
the sun is probably variable star hav-
ing a range of variation amounting to
from to 10 per cent within an irregu-
lar interval Of from five to ten days. Last
year Mr.. Abbot observed in Algeria,
while his colleague, Mr.. Aldrich, OBJ
served on Mount Wilson. The object of
thus duplicating the measurements was
to avoid being misled by any local at
mospheric conditions which might have
affected Mount Wilson observations. AS
nearly one-third Of the circumference of
the earth lies between Mount Wilson
and Algeria, it could not be expected
that a similar local disturbance could af-
feet both stations on the same day in the
same manner. The observations of 1911
strongly supported the belief that the sun
is variable, but owing to cloudiness their
number was not sufficient to fully es-
tablish this point Hence, it was thought
best to return to Algeria this year.
Assisted by Swedish Scientist.
Mr.. Abbot was assisted in Algeria by
Anders Knutson Angstrom of Upsala,
Sweden. Mr.. Angstrom comes from a
distinguished family OF scientists. His
grandfather, Anders Angstrom. is the
one of whom Kayser says in his great
work on spectroscopy, Now arose man
so great that his name will be forever
associated with the history of spectre
scopy." Mr.. Angstrom's father. Knut
Angstrom, was scarcely less distinguished
than the grandfather. and invented many
valuable instruments for measuring the
radiation of the sun and earth. The
present Mr.. Angstrom is much interested
in the same problems that occupied his
father, and is now pursuing advanced
work at Cornell University.
The observations made by the Smith
sonian party in Algeria this year were
apparently very satisfactory. They Oc-
cupied sixty-four days. and on more than
liar observations on Mt. Wilson. 1t can
hardly be doubted that the results of the
work of 1911 and 1912 will thoroughly
establish the supposed variability of the
sun, or will show conclusively that this
hypothesis can no longer be held.

GOOD SPEED DEVELOPED.
Judge Strider's New Launch Shows
Itself to Be Fast,

The new launch Habana, belonging to
Judge Strider of the Municipal Court,
which was put overheard from Dawson
Boat Company's plant about month
ago, had it's trial trip last week and is
reported to have developed a speed of
nearly fifteen miles an hour, making it
one of the fastest boats of it's class in
service on the Potomac. Judge Strider
will use it for hunting trips on the river
this fall, and in the next boating season,
it is stated, will make an extended trip
with it on the coast.
Capt. j. n. Lindsay. owner of the
launch Culprit Fay, a day or two ago re-
turned from a fishing trip to Potomac
creek and is reported to have had fine
sport. He brought back with him, it is
stated, sufficient fish-bass. perch and
other varieties-to supply his friends and
still have some left.
To be fitted with her engine during the
winter. in preparation for going into
service in the spring, a new launch be-
longing to H. E. Dufer is out at Greg
ory's boathouse, foot Of N street south
west. The launch has a hull built by
Chisoldine of ST. Marys county. Md, and
is thirty feet long, eight feet beam and
draft light enough to allow 1t to go into
shoal creeks on hunting and fishing ex-
petitions. The boat has cabin that
covers the greater part of it and it will
be equipped with a fifteen-horsepower
engine that is expected to give it a speed
of seven or eight miles an hour.

THREE FRUIT STEAMERS IN.
Arrive at Baltimore With Bananas,
Oranges and Grape Fruit.

Aboard three steamships that arrived
at Baltimore Monday from Jamaica, with
fruit for the dealers at this city, Balti-
more and elsewhere, were 5S.41S punches
of bananas, the highest receipts in sew
eral weeks. In addition to the bananas
the vessels brought 997 bags of cocoanuts.
237 boxes of grape fruit, 271 boxes of
oranges and. $50 bags Of pimento.
The fruit dealers at this city obtain the
bulk of their supply of fruit from Balti-
more. and each week a large proportion
of their total receipts are sent to this
city by rail.
The masters of the fruit steamers re-
port having encountered heavy gales
throughout the voyage from Jamaica to
the Chesapeake, one of which lasted over
twenty hours, and was of almost hur-
ricane violence.

MATANZAs OFF FOR NORFOLK
Square Rigger to Load Coal for
Wilmington. N. G..

The bark Matanzas, Capt. Wolf. which
brought a big cargo Of laths to this
city from st. Johns. N. B., and which
has been lying here light since Satur-
day waiting orders, is to go to Norfolk
or Newport News to load coal for Will

is expected to take aboard a cargo of
lumber for West Indian port. In tow
Of one of the tugs Of the Taylor fleet, the
Matanzas left here this morning for
Hampton roads
The Matanzas is probably the last
square-rigged vessel Of her class that
will be seen at this port, as full-rigged
ships and banks flying the American
flag are becoming very scarce. Most
of those which ten or twelve years ago
were in commission have had their
spars removed, and as barges are being
towed up and down the coast with lum-
Der, coal and other cargoes aboard.

During the past year the cost of keeping
horse in New York city was slightly
over IS cents a day. Next year 1t will be

Difficulties Are Cited.

"a great number Of our practical diff
ficulties arise from doubt as to the stage
of advancement of any tribe or people. 1t
is a heavy responsibility that any ma
ton assumes when another people says,
We are ready for self-government.' and
that nation replies, You are on the way
to the level of self-government, but you
have not yet attained thereunto.'
MANY mistakes have been made at
this point by ruling peoples in the past.
1t does not follow, however, that we
may rid ourselves Of responsibility by
accepting without question a dependent
peoples estimate of its own capabilities.
We are responsible and in every separate
instance we must act according to the
clearest judgment we can form.
1.-The general principles which I have
formulated would suggest only so much
as this, that in every such instance we
should assume that given people is on
its way to eventual participation. to the
full, in the affairs of government, and
that where there has come to be rea-
sonable doubt as to their political or So
cial maturity they should be given the
benefit of the doubt.

greeted Mr.. Peyser in the name of the
District of Columbia, and recited in
cidents which have occurred during
their years of friendship.
Frank j. Hogan spoke on Friend

Peyser greeted him when he first came
to Washington a number Of years ago
to study law. Simon Wolf in respond
ing to the toast. Our International
Order" told of the influence of the
order of B'nai Birth in foreign lands.
Others who spoke were Rabbi Marcus
son of South Carolina. Rabbi Louis

ton Strasburger.
Mr.. Strasburger launched a project
for the erection in Washington of a
magnificent temple to be used as the
seat Of government for the order, now
numbering more than $4,000 members
in this country.
When called upon to speak just be-
fore the conclusion Of the banquet Mr.
Peyser related his connection with the
order of B'nai Birth, which he said
stood not alone for the Jewish thought,
but for humanity at large. If the
order turned out good men, he said,
they would be recognized and accorded
treatment on their merits regardless
of race.

Another source of amusement was loud

Simon received from telephone on the
banquet table before him. One of these,
which was supposed to have been received
from President Taft, expressed the doubt
that Mr.. Peyser would make good Judge
for the Juvenile Court. When Dr. Simon
announced that toast would be drunk
to President Taft there was much ap-
